    That’s very interesting. I wonder how many of these are floating around.

    How Much Tobacco You Buy on Each Order

    Like many, I get what I can justify/whatever I need to get free shipping. I’ll snag as much esoterica as I can when it becomes available locally.

    Tea And Pipes

    I’m a big fan of oolong, especially imperial Pearl oolong from a website called mountain tea. That goes great with the right smoke.

    Serial Bowls, And I Don't Mean Cheerios

    My morning bowl and evening bowl are in a full size pipe. 30-40 minutes for me. My mid day bowls are in my minuscule ropp etudiant. That poor ropp sees some use. I personally have never left a bowl longer than a few hours. Usually don’t enjoy it as much.

    ***What Are You Smoking, November 2020?***

    I’ve been on a warped “until the end” and “kings stride” kick lately. Out of my radice rind aero reverse calabash.

    How Many Tins Of Flakes Do You Considered Cellared In Your Collection.

    I am very similar to this mentality. I have about 45 mason jars in rotation. Do more Virginia’s but some English. But in a given week I probably smoke ten different blends of not more. I have a decent cellar starting, but 90+ tins of one blend is mind blowing to me. I have 6 of sun bear...

    Conspiracy Theory On SmokingPipes Sales

    What pipe sale? The Peterson one? I remember last year they did 15-20% off all estate pipes IIRC. I’m a sucker for a sale. I wish free shipping on every order for silver members was a thing.

    That Last Little Bit In The Bowl

    Sometimes I’ll hit bottom on accident, not even realizing I was that far into the bowl. But generally, when it’s done it’s done. I have plenty of brown tobacco in my ashtray. It’s so affordable on a single bowl basis, what’s ten cents? Tossing half of a $14 cigar is another story.

    Looking For Nostalgic Room Note

    I’ve been trying to figure out what my old neighbor when I was a kid smoked, as well as my grandpa. He lived on the other side of the country, so that smell was more distant and far between. I know it was borkum riff for a time. Not sure what his main go to smoke was. I have only tried 1Q of all...

    Do You Believe In The Cake? Yes or No

    I inherited this old foster from my late grandfathers estate via my uncle who lived in the same state as him. It’s hard to show well, but this has to be 3/16 of cake at least. It flakes off like mud stuck to the side of a truck. He was a borkum riff man, rest his soul. One of the greatest men I...

    Do You Believe In The Cake? Yes or No

    No. I’ve tried to avoid cake at all costs. I do have that hard packed layer of carbon, but not even close to 1/16 or 1/8 of an inch like many people suggest. I actually need to buy a proper reamer set because it’s getting out of hand, though I try to control it.

    Warped "The Haunting" Now at SPC

    Yeah, I know. I used the wrong terminology. But it’s essentially the equivalent of a small batch. Thanks

    Warped "The Haunting" Now at SPC

    But to the topic, I just got my order of the haunting in today. I bought 5 tins. I’m totally drawn to the limited release stuff, because regretfully I inform you, I’m a hipster/millennial/hype monger/bad person. I am newer to pipes. Been doing cigars off and on for years. Never had a warped...

    Warped "The Haunting" Now at SPC

    be careful, they tend to travel in packs. And they can get very agitated if they run out of starbucks or iPhone battery.

    Opinions Regarding the "Palm Swirl" Method of Packing a Pipe.

    I don’t do it enough, but I agree with what you are saying

    Opinions Regarding the "Palm Swirl" Method of Packing a Pipe.

    I usually do some combination of the 1-2-3 fill, the codger scoop, gravity fill, or rarely the frank swirl. I definitely think I have a tendency to pack a little too right usually, so a gravity fill and small topper is probably more what I need. I smoke fast usually and if it’s not enough, it’s...
