    Flake Packing Force Question

    I did have to keep tamping the sides into the center, and I did notice that I had a fairly small cherry in the center/off center as opposed to the majority of the top. I am going to try just one flake and see how I make out. This is a good tip, I thought for sure I had packed too loose but based...

    Flake Packing Force Question

    So there should be enough flake there so that it doesn't just fall in if I understand this correctly? I definitely did not have a tighter pack at the top. Thanks for the tip!

    Flake Packing Force Question

    Hmm glad I asked! I was leaning towards more tobacco as the draw was still so open. Thanks for the tips so far all

    How Important is Nicotine to You (After Quitting Cigs)

    I am a little different than some, I never actually smoked cigs, or cigars, but I did start vaping when I was 18, I think I had one of the first systems, and I moved from that to a subohm mod, which I hid and never used around people because I felt that it was pretty lame, and would only pick...

    Flake Packing Force Question

    I have a question regarding flakes and packing So I am pretty new to smoking pipes but I always liked flakes better than other tobacco cuts, I always seemed to have an easier time with flakes for whatever reason. Not a perfect time, but a better time. So I have a question regarding packing...

    Hello From Canada

    Maybe I will post a "Fresh Mouth" review! I basically picked it on a whim, I did the same with the Erinmore flake. I started with 100g of Navy flake and needed to pick 100 more grams to get to 200 grams. There are so many choices and you can only read so many reviews lol

    Looking for Some Information On this Table Top Pipe

    It does have a mat on the bottom that is pretty sticky. I can see that, it wouldn't be out of place in my 86 chev truck

    Looking for Some Information On this Table Top Pipe

    Thank you, I will do some digging on Google for "tanganyikan" and see if I can find anything. It is in perfect condition from what I can tell, the whip has no cracks and the fittings are all good. I think It was maybe smoked once or twice, it has very slight cake about half way down the bowl but...

    Looking for Some Information On this Table Top Pipe

    It is some sort of meerschaum from what I can tell, I should have entered that in the description. But yes it is a solid block of meer, about 4.5 inches long and 3.25 inches at the widest point the Bowl is 0.75 inches wide or so. There is a rather fancy "whip" with an acrylic bit on the end. I...

    Looking for Some Information On this Table Top Pipe

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) I recently purchased an estate pipe lot to restore, and I ended up negotiating the pipe pictured below into the deal. From what I can tell it is a Kiko tabletop pipe? There are no markings that I can find. Since it is not my style I was going to...

    Hello From Canada

    Hello Everyone, I like to say I am moderately new to the hobby of pipe smoking, even though I have been interested on and off for probably 10 years. 10 years ago I got myself a cob and 2 tins of tobacco, I did thoroughly enjoy the 3/4 of each tin that I used but life started to get in the way...
