    Dedicating Pipes

    Dedicating a pipe to straight Virginias pays off, not sure about other combinations. My genres divisions are Va, Va/Bur, Latakia and Aros. Since many recommend wider bowls for English blends which I somehow don't enjoy too much I'm planning to swap a Savinelli 320 and a more narrow Punto Oro...

    Getting It, What It Was Like for Me

    A year to learn how to smoke properly sounds about right. I was so thrilled about all the different tobaccos and different packing and smoking techniques that it seemed like a few weeks. I have a privilege to smoke inside but it hasn't been forever so I can hear you. With kids in the house it's...

    Flake Tobacco

    My main mistake with flakes was not drying them enough. Still learning and finding the perfect way. Different preparing methods und a (un)success are a part of the game, sometimes making you feel a pro and an amateur the other time.

    Okay To Use a Filter Pipe Without a Filter?

    I'm using filters almost every time. Being a "wet smoker" I produce more moisture than any tobacco so filters help a lot but the activated charcoal ones do affect the taste. A no filtered pipe imo has a smoother draw than a filtered one, smoked without a filter. A thought that often crosses my...

    Please Tell Me What is Causing This

    I vote for Perique. Strong blends occasionally irritate my sinuses and I try not to retrohale in that case or abbandon them until further notice, makes me happier and they will have time to age in the meantime.

    Do You Still Have Your First Pipe?

    Still have mine. It's named Toscana, got it new as a gift and at that time the only thing important to me was to have a pipe. It's famous for issues with overheating. The same model is still selling for around 20 bucks. If it wasn't my first I would have thrown it away but the more abuse it gets...

    I Love Flakes. I Also Hate Them.

    I'm experimenting with FVF these days and, as others say, rubbing it out completely and drying works. I felt guilty to break the flakes of one of the finest tobaccos but we will get there one day, or better, one year.

    If You Were Stranded On a Deserted Island With Only One Tobacco...

    I would take a barrel of one that I won't name - to burn it so the plane or a ship that would pass by would save me from the island and take me to the nearest tobacco shop. Seriously now, for virginias it's best FVF, for burleys maybe Solani Aged Burley Flake. No idea for english blends, Balkan...

    What Does Tongue Bite Feel Like?

    It's unpleasant but still much better than a hangover.

    How Many Blends Do You Have In Rotation

    I have 15 opened tins, mostly in jars. Smoking a few bowls a day it takes an eternity to finish 2oz, I smoke those I really like at the moment. Virginias go fast, 2 jars of Vapers are just sitting there since I don't like them too much, a few burley blends, some aromatics and some english...
