    You know, this entire conversation could be seen as obscene if read out of context :-)

    Elvira Lighter Advice

    Gentleman, need some advice: recently I obtained a brand new, made for me, Elvira Zippo. This one is unique. It has Elvira's portrait on BOTH sides of the matte white lighter, and regretfully I need to sell it. You may know the Elvira lighters are are and in great demand, especially the white...

    Smoking Any New (To You) Blends?

    I got the English blends the other day: haven't tried them all but Chelsea Morning, and it't great! To the gents who recommended these English blends, thanks! Something different from all the eros that have been my staples and expanded my repertoire.

    It doesn't. It just sits there as it melts. And it wipes off with a tissue leaving a shiny clean surface.

    Practical Tips

    Some solutions I've come across: To prevent burning the rim of a smooth finished pipe, coat the rim with a ChapStick. After awhile, you won't need the stick wax anymore. If your butane lighter, like Thunderbird, seems weak but has hardly been used, add a second flint; the spring tension can...

    Smoking Any New (To You) Blends?

    On the basis of earlier advice, I have Chelsea Morning and other English blends heading my way. I was getting in a rut with LQ1 and Trout Stream.

    There's Reaming And Then There's Reaming.

    I find a Swiss knife effective for informal reaming.Btw, M, glad to hear you have a kindle Fire. I dislike Google taking over the tablet world.

    Early Morning Pipe, Similar Tobaccos?

    Gents, I wanted to you to know I ordered all the brands you mentioned. I was a little confused about Match, because there are several different Matches, so I ordered a small pocket of one. Much thanks; I'm looking forward to these. BTW, what constitutes an English blend?

    Killarney 408, Breaking In

    I got an ebony 408, which is what I actually waterborne vendors of the first pipe graciously agreed to refund their 408--and i' m basically slowing down on roaring through this ebony version. A couple a slow mild smokes a day, with Chapstick lip balm to protect the rim. So far, so good.

    Peterson Christmas

    At last I have my Xms 106 and it is magnificent. The copper is much deeper than the photos indicate, the blast reveals deep grain emphasized by the holiday red stain. Magnifique!

    Nording

    Wordings are excellent. I have several, including one of the first pipes I ever bought, a dress dunham that has an enormous chamber. Don't neglect their straight Hunter's billiards; I had a Woodstock but was forced to sell it, but it's was worth every penny.

    Killarney 408, Breaking In

    In the past, I didn't have problems with breaking in a pipe. However, I wonder if a gradual break in might minimize the bubbling of a glossy finish that I've had problems with, this time with a ebony Peterson 408. But how to properly break a pipe in. How is it done?

    Killarney 408

    I got the 408 today, and it is a terrific pipe. The chamber is spacious and the slight bend is great for clench. Perfect!

    Killarney 408

    Thanks gents. They have an ebony version as well I'm I interested in.

    Killarney 408

    I should have thought to check here before ordering, but does anyone have any thoughts on the Peterson Killarney 408? Slightly unusual pipe with a slight bend and somewhat apple chamber. Thoughts?

    Tobacco Breath Odor?

    What is a good, effective, mouthwash for pipers, something that just wipes out any tobacco residue?
