    Filter Pipes?

    Whatever... I like a clean pipe and a clean smoking experience, and I find that filters and balsa inserts help with both of these goals. I don't expect one could ever exclude all moisture from the tobacco no matter how learned a smoker one is. For me, both paper and balsa inserts help to keep...

    Filter Pipes?

    I also prefer using filtered pipes. I use the Grabow/Medico paper filters in Grabows, Medicos, and cobs, and also the balsa inserts on a couple of briars that take them.

    Whose Pipes do You Have the Most of?

    4 MM cobs, 4 Grabows, 2 Medicos, and 1 each of Barling, Savanelli, Briarcraft, Jobey, Carey, Stanwell, Buescher, Middleton, Molina, and Wellpipe. That's the long and short of it.

    English Blend for Beginners

    John Bull Royal English filled that niche for me. I found it to be mildly flavorful and easy to work with as a beginner. It's available here in the US as a pouch brand - not sure if it's marketed in EU.

    Your Best Pipes Under $100 You Smoke

    Stanwell Vario 29 (billiard). Medico back-of-the-box special offer pipe (1/4 bent sandblast egg). Besides cobs, the only other pipes I bought new were a Barling Londoner Dublin and a Savanelli Punto Oro Zulu way back in the '80s, both of which I still have; they were both under $100, but that...

    And now a bowl of ODF in a cob. Mmmm.

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2021?***

    A late-night bowl of Derby Club in a Briarcraft Airo panel number that smokes very nicely with its little stinger - accompanied by a glass of Kahlua on ice.

    My Attempts at Homemade Kretek-Like Tobacco for Pipe (With Recipe)

    Interesting thread. Kreteks were, for me, the gateway tobacco. When I drifted into the punk and new wave music scenes in the early 80s, smoking cloves was a big part of the alternative music culture. I never smoked real cigs, but I loved smoking cloves. And as far as the brands, Garams were...

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2021?***

    Small bowl of Hansom Flake in a Huck Finn cob is doing me just fine. Good night to you all.

    SWRA Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic

    I'm a Granger lover too, and new to this forum. I've only ever smoked the Pinkerton version but I have an STG can on deck. Do you find them very different from one another?

    How to Prepare Flake Pipe Tobacco

    I found this out myself by accident, having left a folded & stuffed flake in a cob for a day or so before I got around to smoking it a few times. Lights and burns much easier as a result - just gotta make sure to take it easy.
