This. Maybe it's time to play with tamping techniques and bowl management. I'd avoid dumping ash until you've cashed the bowl. -- Pat- pruss

Mylar Storage Bags
I've had the same experience as Skraps; even in small sample sized mylar bags. I had a nubbin of Strang (like an inch of twist) that still needed to be dryed prior to loading a bowl after a year in a ziploc sealed mylar bag. -- Pat- pruss

Peretti Tashkent and Peretti Oriental No 40
I prefer O40 because it is more floral and oriental forward with the Lat playing a more supporting role. The Cambridge Flake is delicious, if I remember corrrectly it was more of a broken/crumble Flake/cake. It was more Latakia forward than the Oriental #40. You can't go wrong with any of the...- pruss

Cleaning a brand new pipe?
Welcome to the forums. This is a pretty common question, and you've had some solid replies up top. In general, treat it like any other device that you're going to purchase and then put in your mouth.

Sometimes You Gotta Love Mail -- Classified Ad Pays Off (Pics)
Yep. The EK came with the bag. The vendor had others, but the prices weren't reasonable for the condition. She had a nice Red Bark Bulldog, but I found out a friend was also chatting with her about that pipe and backed off. -- Pat- pruss

Sometimes You Gotta Love Mail -- Classified Ad Pays Off (Pics)
So we all know not to buy pipes when the pictures are shoddy and don't cover all angles... We also know that when the seller gets basic pipe shapes wrong we shouldn't trust their assessment of a pipe's condition... But sometimes you just gotta go with it. This arrived today. $120CDN delivered...- pruss

I was being a little tongue-in-cheek about a _very_small_ vocal minority of Quebecers outspoken desire to leave Canada, and the jokes about the Republic of Texas. -- Pat -
