    I just adore such threads. Love to see the process.

    What Is Your GoTo Lighter?

    The form-factor and the operation of faux-Pont is starting to grow on me. I noticed that recently I'm using this lighter more and more (except the outdoors smoking, where Admiral shines like no other). Now I'm considering buying a genuine thing :)

    Pipers Who Play

    I play the bass in two local bands: dark-country (posted a pic somewhere here) and Celtic punk/folk-rock/metal-ish. Also the acoustic guitar (prefer Martins and Gibsons) in Irish pub-songs ad-hoc project and in Scandinavian neo-folk choir/band. I play the mandolin and the electric guitar at home...

    MORTA, and Why You are Missing Out

    Very nice. That's an Appalachian endemic. My dream "unorthodox" pipe would be one made of pipe stone. IYKWIM.

    Irish Tobacco?

    Always though Powell's was a music shop around the 4 corners. Go figure...

    Shiny Vulcanite Stems?

    Yep, seen it. Obviously, I'm doing something wrong. The vulcanite is just heating up with no effect on the oxidation.

    Shiny Vulcanite Stems?

    I read here and there about the lighter-and-towel method but tried it with no visible results. Is there a youtube-video of the whole process somewhere?

    I’m Digging This Shepherds Pie

    How close is it to Frog Morton (which they deem to recreate)?

    On Burley

    And it ages outstanding. My current return to pipe-smoking was triggered by a sealed 11-year old tin of MB NF found in a drawer. Very delicious.

    On Burley

    I have a strange relationship with burley. I get a lot of excitement and taste (oatmeal, slightly burnt porridge with cocoa crisps) and it reminds me of my early days of smoking (OTC blends only back then) and thus brings sweet memories. But the lingering cigarette aftertaste is the worst. So...

    First In 2020

    What is your first pipe to come in 2020? Mine arrived yesterday. Moonshine Light Smooth Devil Anse. Checked all the boxes. I wanted: a smaller pipe; devil anse shape; a U.S.-made pipe; with a nice colored acrylic stem. Bonuses (given my recent country music zeal): made in Nashville, TN...

    HB JRRT!

    Perhaps it probably was. I saw our local team who prepared for the pipe smokers World Cup honed this technique. I'm not into pipe "sport", this is a meditation and leisure activity for me, so I never bothered to actually clear this thing up.
