    All My Pipes Smoke Hot

    Hey guys, All my pipes smoke hot, they smoke well, but the bowl is usually too hat to hold, so I have to let them cool down and then re-light. What am I doing wrong, besides smoking them to hot :) Thanks for your thoughts... Todd

    Shiny to Dull

    pagan, alcohol didn't seem to do it, so i went for the acetone. The acetone was a little too strong as it pulled off a bit of the black stain, not all but a bit. So now I ask, what do pipe makers (probably artisans) use to dye a pipe black? Todd

    grey wood colored pipes?

    Hi Winton, The picture is actually that of a wood floor, and yes I know pipes are not made of pine, but the question is can Briar pipe be made that color. Pappipeguy, that Nording has yellowish tones, which is one of the colors I wanted to stay away from, but thanks for your thoughts Todd

    Shiny to Dull

    It's a production line Rossi pipe, so it's probably lacquer, correct? and acetone will take of the lacquer without hurting the briar, correct? Thanks for your input, Todd

    looking for HIGH quality metal foldable pipe holder

    aimlesswanderer, I agree with you wholeheartedly! but only up to the point of not buying any pipe that won't sit. To me it's a major nuisance for a pipe not to sit! but there are so many pipes I'd have to pass on if they wouldn't sit. So that was the motivation behind my inquisitive...

    German Pipes (Ingo Garbe, Hasso Baudis, Karl Joura)

    From a smokablity view, what do you guys know about Vauen pipes? I'm really interested in getting a Vauen Spin 6. I don't care about the spin capability of the pipe, I just love the classy look, but I don't want to buy it if it's smokablity sucks, pun intended :) although it's probably been...

    woodsroad, I may be a newbie to pipes, but don't be jerk tinsel, I think your link is on target, and probably very close to the details of what the filed legislation is going after.

    newbie asking about cross-pollinating tobacco and pipes

    Fortunately I don't smoke aromatics, can't even stand the smell of them in an open tin. So that will save me on buying a pipe just for them

    newbie asking about cross-pollinating tobacco and pipes

    kanse, I do happen to have a very nice pipe that fits those exact dimension, thanks! What is meant when you guys say "English" is that meaning any blend that is not an aromatic? btw, I almost never smoke aromatics (too much of a "purest") but if a buddy gives me some to try, and I don't want to...

    Legislation Filed 02-10-2017 - Increase Tax On Pipe Tobacco to $24

    hey guys, in no way is it my intent to spread rumors (that's why my original post asked if anyone else had heard of this), and I certainly don't mean to be disrespectful to anyone here, or troll, or initiate trouble. My goal here in this forum is to learn the pipe as an enjoyable alternative to...

    newbie asking about cross-pollinating tobacco and pipes

    Thanks for your thought! For whatever reason, idk, I don't enjoy using corn-cobbs Do any of the ones I've listed fit in specific "genres" To be honest, I really don't know which ones are Latakias, Perique Orientals, or Virginas blends. I don't think any of those are aromatics, but I could be...

    newbie asking about cross-pollinating tobacco and pipes

    Hey guys, As said above, I'm a newbie to the pipe tobacco world, but I've read that you should not intermix/cross-pollinate certain blends of tobacco between pipes, that they will change the flavor. So I would like to know if in the following list of tobaccos (in no particular order) should I...

    sablebrush, although I am a newbie to the pipe tobacco world I have been smoking cigars for 30+ years. this is not a "vague rumor" these are the words straight from the mouth of the lobbyist last night. He asked me not to publish his name, but I do know for a fact that he is affiliated with...

    From what I understood him to say, it's national, just like the Feb 15, 2007 cigar blend band. He lobbies at the national level for General
