    Do Cuts Matter

    I like playing with the flake. Today i tried flake strips. Bent in half, half again, and stuffed them. Didn't work well for me. I don't have the experience to deal with it like that in the bowl. Tomorrow Ill try rubbing it out. As mentioned above should taste and burn differently...

    Have I Damaged the Pipe Chamber?

    I'm curious what brand of pipe that is. If you're new at this you might want to try a corn cob cob. They are inexpensive but they're damn good. You should alternate between pipes anyway. Sorry to see you having an issue. Are you enjoying your new hobbie?

    Peterson Deerstalker?

    I have one p-lip and prefer it to fish tail. To me it minimizes the tongue bite a bit. I like pulling the smoke to the roof of my mouth.

    Xikar Butane vs Corona Old Boy

    I got Xikar premium and a no name $30 lighter from my b&m. It commonly takes multiple tries to light it. I was blaming the lighter. Perhaps I need better fuel. Ill try the high performance or something else when the can runs out.

    Beginners Advice

    Makes a lot of sense. Try to keep it simple and find what you like. Take your time. I've been doing the same. I stay with the same smoke for a couple days through a couple pipes. My BIGGEST learning moment was letting it dry out for an hour before packing the pipe. Night and day from...

    Nicotine Test for Benefits at Work

    The companies we work for pay into our health insurance plans. They may give you a choice of a couple health care vendors but rest assured they selected vendors that keep their payments lower. The entire situation sucks. I say that because during this entire process all your company and the...

    Are Blend Listings Volume based

    Are Blend Listings Volume based

    I always look for his reviews. I also believe 4 stars from hm is truly a rave review. On the average he is a 2 star standard.

    Generally Speaking Pipe Smokers are Fun

    I find the people on this forum are great. I've been on many forums and there is always squabbling. Long ago I had a part time job at Walmart. I smoked cigarettes. The break room was sizeable with a walled off section for smokers. I'd have lunch and breaks in there while smoking. All the...

    Are Blend Listings Volume based

    Can't find this through research. If a tobacco blend states, "Barley, Red Virginia, toasted Cavandish and Perique" can we expect Barley to be largest by volume and decreased volume until you hit the Perique? In general thats how food is listed. I don't know if tobacco is regulated like this...

    Medical Photo Imaging The Ebauchon

    I probably should have said I was Navy X-ray tech. Sailors find a way. Back to the original post, no way a briar block would get scanned. Time consuming and $$. It would take a dedicated pipe smoker to come up with something like that.

    Medical Photo Imaging The Ebauchon

    Who says they have to know. I'm an x-ray tech. If I was still working in a hospital I'd definitely do it on one of my pipes. Id then print it, frame it, and hang it on the wall.

    Cavendish Blend Question

    I look at Blends and I see Cavendish and Burley. Cavendish and Virginia. Light Cavendish, Dark Cavandish and ... . Per wikipedia Cavendish can be burley or virginia. The tobacco is heat treated with fire or steam and then put under heavy pressure to bring out the sugars. Some Cavandish may...
