    certain pipes for certain tobaccos and vice verse?

    It seems to me that there are certain types of tobaccos that smoke well with certain pipes, and don't smoke well with others pipes? and certain pipes that smoke well with certain types of tobaccos better than they smoke other types of tobaccos? Is this same observation true for you? or do you...

    help with a nasty tasting stem

    It may be a Savenelli, idk, my friend who won it said he wasn't sure. when i googled it, i didn't see any Savenelli's with a greensih tented stem, but there are some Petrerson's with one, so i assumed it to be a low cost Peterson, idk. There's no markings on it anywhere, my friend really...

    Frog Morton or Frog Morton Cellar every newbie that i've ever introduced them has loved them. btw, in my opinion, i would recommend against NightCap, too harsh for a starter

    help with a nasty tasting stem

    Thanks cosmic, i'll go with the oxidation removal process as you gave and see where that gets me. The thing that confused me was that I've never had any other brand new pipe do this, even my very first $35 no-name-brand-cheapo pipe, which doesn't smoke very well, but didn't have that "nasty...

    help with a nasty tasting stem

    cosmic and jpmcwjr, I'm a bit confused? how does using a pipe cleaner with alcohol on the inside of the stem change the "nasty flavor" on the outside of the stem? If I was not smoking the pipe, but just letting it hang in my mouth, that's when i get the "nasty flavor". When I actually smoke...

    Hey guys, Last night a buddy of mine won a pipe at "pipe night" at our local cigar/pipe shop. he doesn't smoke pipes, so he gave it to me. The pipe is a $70 level Peterson.. It smokes really well. HOWEVER, the stem feels "plastically" but worse, the stem has a nasty taste to it. The smoke...

    What's My Next Tobacco To Try Next?
