    Meerschaum Dilutes Flavor?

    it takes a few smokes for that to go away. Yeah new meer can dilute the taste.

    Bulk Tobacco Similar To Five Brothers?

    best bet with five bros is to just buy it in economy sized quantities. I always just buy a one of those store display cardboard cases. I forget how many are in there but the price is pretty decent.

    What Are Your Top Five Pipe Accessories?

    wood matches, tapered pipe cleaners, 8deco pipe tool (the basic pipe tools are fine too), zippo, pipenet or something like that reamer it's the one with the t shaped handle and four heads. And that's in order of importance. No tamper or tool I can use match sticks and fingers, but can not smoke...

    Experiment with Nicotine Patches and Pipe Smoking

    Some people are very situational with their nicotine intake. It's funny when finals are happening here cig and dip sales see a huge spike. A lot of people use nicotine only when they're especially stressed or need higher focus.

    Experiment with Nicotine Patches and Pipe Smoking

    I honestly doubt that. I mean it's clearly more of a standard everyday thing and less of a hipster ragging trend kind of thing. Especially when it's really cold out.

    Trying Out an English Blend.

    it's all tobacco. I tend to pick up more flavors and nuances if I don't go looking for them. If I just enjoy the pipe. It's boardline zen how it works for me at least. Also focusing more on the ember instead of the flavor helps get more flavors. Kind of think of it like you're trying to tend the...

    Hands

    Yeah that's the big problem with snuff. Or hand rolled cigs got the cops called on me a few times for that. But I did have a cop pass me while I was taking snuff and just got my attention and gave me a disappointed headshake and moved on.

    Trying Out an English Blend.

    I agree totally. Never got a bite out of an English blend.

    Trying Out an English Blend.

    heck yeah. It's funny when I smoke those star blends that are raved about often I find them meh and every once in a while totally agree. Honestly at the end of the day we're weirdos that burn leafs in a fancy tube for pleasure. And man there are a lot of gems that just don't get attention.

    Trying Out an English Blend.

    I kind of hate the idea of graduating to a blend style. They're all a matter of taste. And yeah taste evolves and changes but it's not a linear thing. I kind of go back and fourth in what I smoke more accurate way to put it is that now I have a better idea of what I am in the mood for at what times.

    Hands

    my fingers smell like roses. Could be the nasal snuff that did it not really sure. :)

    Refreshing Pipes Unauthorized Use of my Name on eBay

    Tongue Bite on First/Char Light

    I don't know if this helps but a char light doesn't have to be one go. Do a pass or two over the surface let it smolder till it goes out, tamp while trying to even out the top layer and repeat till the whole surface takes up evenly without the tobacco expanding. That's what's been working for me.

    Any ideas for Pipeshops in Tokyo?

    I have to admit I am jealous.

    Greetings from Winston Salem, North Carolina!

    love the profile pic. I love pipes and I love foxes. Also really good painting I think (it looks like paint). But what's it like living in a place that's named after a brand of cigs (I know it's the other way round).

    Remembering the Choices of Old Sites

    That's just so true. I feel like someone has spread this idea that if you fight over something you're doing the important work. Also think that is just an extension of drama making up for a lack of meaning in ones life. And that type seems evenly spread out among any group you can think of in my...
