    Well AliExpress Has Upped Their Game

    The Chinese pipes have gotten better. I didn't wanna say it out loud, but I noticed it too. They realize if you can make a Briar pipe that looks nice for under 40 bucks it's a big deal. Won't pass a cleaner has a cheaper finish but works.

    A Whinge on Forever Stems!

    Yeah, that looks normal. Run a pipe cleaner through the pipe the next time you load it. Then pull it out before you light. It sounds like you're packing it too tight. Also, are you using a filter? If so remove it.

    Using Pipe/Cigar Smoking to quit Snus or cold turkey?

    If you need a nicotine hit smoke Kentucky Fire cured pipe tobaccos. Some pack a punch. If its not enough buy blending Ky. Fire and blend a small amount with something like a Virginia until you figure out how much you need. I'm an extremely heavy chain smoker and I warn you don't smoke the...

You're gonna love that sour note sooner than later. lol Definitely hang on to those sour ones you think you hate.

    Blends Like Early Morning Pipe but Without the Sourness?

    I also hated the Fermented Virginia and some Orientals sourness. Took me a while, but I really enjoy it now. I don't find blends without it boring though. But I'm a tobacco smoker lol. I don't really fit into a category. Theres not much I wont smoke or hate. That sourness you speak of...

    Blends Like Early Morning Pipe but Without the Sourness?

    Maltese Falcon, Match Barking Dog, Burma Road. Look into English aromatics. They're cross over blends. Keep the ones you have now, theres a good chance you'll like them later.

    Nicotine Buzz on a Empty Stomach

    3 packs a day for 25 years will fix that problem for ya. lol... If you get a nic hit eat sugar and stop smoking. Itll pass sooner than later.

    2023 Carolina Red Flake w/ Perique

    A guy gave me some a few years ago. I don't remember if it had Perique in it. I liked it though. If you like Vapers try Bayou Morning, Escudo, Stokkebye has some good ones too.

    What does HH mean?

    I see you already know the answer now; it's worth the money though. Very good stuff! I have heard the Latakia flake people complaining it doesn't have enough Lat to be called that. I haven't tried that one. But the others are all are great!

    Ugh…Breaking In a Few New Pipes

    I've heard of sour cream and maple syrup. Haven't tried them though, I don't mind the taste of a new briar. I did do honey like you did on one that had a burnout begining and it never burned though.

    Fake Latakia???

    I think they would be in violation of advertisment laws/store policies and would be fined, and or denied buying anymore for sale by the stores themselves. If its to the point of Youtube it would have already have been handled.

    Favorite Oriental Blends?

    Balkan blends are more more Oriental forward. Both English and Balkan contain Latakia as the main force. Latakia is that's the smoky smell you get with both.

    Difficulty keeping Gaslight Lit

    As AJ said, if you dry it more than you think and rub it out really well, almost any tobacco will stay lit if it's packed properly with minimal relights.

    Blending With Candela

    I don't know. I used to smoke cigars for 20 years though and I like Candela. I wish I could find a pipe tobacco with it in it. Even with cigars they don't make many Candela cigars. It's usually used as a gimmick for St. Patrick's day, or to make a cigar look pretty with a cap or a barber...

    Building Your Cellar - Things To Consider

    Yeah my cellar is roughly about what you mentioned yours is. One thing I did is literally tried 100s of blends. I didn't want to jump the gun and cellar something I thought I was in love with. Now I'm ready to fully invest in what I'm sure I want to stay married to.

    Building Your Cellar - Things To Consider

    Great read! I am 40 with kids and starting to build a cellar up. Thanks for the sound advice!

    Stop The Gurgle.

    I've put my hand over the bowl and sharply flicked the pipe downward and runs back down into the bowl if I don't have a cleaner.
