    Pipe Shapes

    Looking at my "collection" I have 2 straight bulldogs, 2 lovats, a bent Bulldog, a bent Brandy, a bent billiard, a bent Danish Egg (looks more like an apple), a cutty and corncob poker. So I'm all over the place, but most have something common, they are almost all saddle stemmed. All have been...

    Rotation

    I like variety, I try to only open 1 tin of type of tobacco (burely, VA, VaPer, English), generally have 6 tins of something open. I have had cases when I open a tin and smoke through it all the way "fast" (still take about a month or 2)I won't get the nuances of it. I have a tin of Solani ABF...

    Favorite Dan Tobacco Blend?

    I second the Ascanian selection, while I have only smoked #2, I think the orientals in it make it different.

    I'm Becoming A Seasonal Pipe Smoker.

    I smoke year around outside. Cold is something you can dress to. If it rains and I want a smoke I go into my bike shed. Without having a fight with my wife (and you don't want that), I can't smoke in the house.

    Preferred Lighter

    I only use the original Zippo fluid. I'm not getting any taste from it, lighting and letting the fumes evaporate a bit. I'm still using my non pipeinsert Zippo, but the Pipemaster has also drawn my attention, dunno how well it works when smoking outside.

    More New Forums Members Than Ever? Why Is That?

    People picked up "relaxation" smoking during covid or got a renewed interest with being at home and now it's kinda "gone" (it is but it isn't) they continue to do so. At least thats it for me. And indeed the anti smoking sentiment with other platforms like social media and large forum groups...

    Dedicating Pipes to Certain Types.

    I think its up to personal preference. I have a few "tasting" pipes which are blendtype (Latakia heavy English, more Oriental forward English, VA, VaPer, Burley, blends containing DFK and aromatics) specific. After almost 2 years of pipe smoking i'm still exploring so my tasting pipes gets...

    Good And Bad Smokers

    In my quite noobish opinion a pipe smokes well when your tobacco has the right moisture content and your smoking technique is on point. The ability of the pipe to absorb excess moisture when smoking and the airflow of the pipe certainly contribute to the smoking experience, but are for me subpar...

    I've never been to Serbia, but you can order from Estervals in Germany which has a quite extensive collection.
