    Show Us Your Ashton Pipes

    Seems the old Ashton thread was killed. So bring back the Ashton love. Inaugural smoke suggests it's destined for fine Virginia's.

    On a Burley Journey

    For my taste HH Burley, ABF, and Wessex Burley are the top of the tier for Burley blends. All others while good don't have the presence and roundness they possess. Few talk about the sour, ashy taste or rough edges that Burley can have but the Burleyphiles on here like Grangerous are the ones to...

    C&D Briar Fox ?

    I didn't like haunted bookshop when I tried it, but I do need to revisit it. Briar Fox is a delicious blend to me. I had opened a tin with some age and I was enamored with it. It's very basic but the way it is pressed gives a delicious tang interplay between the Virginia's and Burley. Definitely...

    New Burley London Blend vs Original

    I think as my smoking rotation has aged and I regularly smoke aged/matured tobaccos very few new tobaccos I go into "wow" factor. They usually tend to be just decent or good, and I typically can never compare them to what's in my stash. I think time can do more than we realize with these blends...

    Smoking Savinelli Filter Pipes Without Filter: Adapter or Not?

    I eventually stopped buying filter pipes knowing those areas where the filter goes collects moisture. I do agree that filter pipes with no filter can smoke exceptionally well and do require more attention to clean. On that note more open draws tend to smoke better. Hence why higher end pipes...

    Another One Bites the Dust

    There is a Stag Tobaccanist in Colorado Springs. I wonder if they are related?

    How Thick is Pipe Smoke?

    Pipe smoke is no different than other tobacco smoke. Sticky tar builds up over time. The better the circulation the longer it takes to build up. Just smoke some pleasant smelling tobacco and see what happens. Picky neighbors would complain and only office personal would inquire/notify. Have a...

    Can these Cigars be Resurrected from the Dead?

    The key is in them not cracking. Once they do pretty they're pretty much useless. Tobacco can withstand drying but with cigars the construction needs to be good for them to be smokable. The humidity is there to slow the burning. Ever smoke those dry cured cigarillos? Puff on them vigorously and...

    What Are The Physics Of "Thick Wall = Cool Smoke"?

    Someone on here actually measured the temperature of tobacco as it burns in the pipe and provided a detailed thermodynamics overview related to his hypothesis. That's how deep this rabbit hole goes ?

    Blood Thinners, Clots, etc...

    Clots shunt blood flow. No blood flow equals dead cells. Dead cells or lack of blood to certain areas equals cardiac arrest or stroke. Covid is synonymous with blood clots. Blood clots in the lungs are called pulmonary embolism=death. Pain comes from nerves for inflammation or trauma to an area...

    What Are The Physics Of "Thick Wall = Cool Smoke"?

    Thick walls retain the heat better require less puffing to maintain the ember, therefore cooler smoke

    Vulcanite vs Acrylic Stems.....Which do you Prefer?

    I could never get on board with softy bits. Hated the way they look on the pipe. They felt akward and knowing they collect my drool required more work than a simple T-shirt wipe down for cleaning after a smoke. My worn down teeth definitely need all the cushion they can get. Regardless of the...

    I’m Afraid No Smoking Today

    That polar shift! Stay warm and be smart. I used to wear insulated leather boots and a marshmello suit to smoke outside in Colorado winters. Now in socal rarely even put on shoes!

    Loss of Taste (Not COVID Related)

    Indeed sounds like your on the way to consistency ?. Remember that moisture carries flavor in pipe tobacco. Easily stated but masterfully executed. As for daily smokes I can't speak to. Everyone has there own preference for consistent delicious smokes day in and out. Very rarely do I smoke the...

    Loss of Taste (Not COVID Related)

    Yeah sounds like your palate is just being overworked. Honestly too it's prob your smoking technique. Being so new to it you prob don't even consider smoking cadence and optimal packing. Also the specific blend/varieties that are best for certain times of the day...etc. There really is a lot to...

    Anyone Ever Used An Oxygen Concentrator?

    As the person who sticks your arm (not a nurse) respiratory therapist I can agree that those SpO2 are not good. Supplemental oxygen is needed to prevent further complications and to keep you in good health. Indeed arterial blood is the only way to verify the actual amount of oxygen in your...

    Vulcanite vs Acrylic Stems.....Which do you Prefer?

    Over the years I've grown to like vulcanite over acrylic. Especially since I've gravitated towards lightweight clenching pipes. Having said that if it's light enough then I can't necessarily say vulcanites advantages over lucite are realized. I've got some badly oxidized stems that suck...
