    Dedicated Pipes

    Do you have dedicated pipes for smoking certain blends or kinds of blends? How do you decide which pipe you are going to smoke each time?

    Do You Have A Preferred Shape?

    Has it already been said? I can't resist the pun... "smokin hot"

    What Does Latakia Taste Like

    On one end (20-50%): like burning incense. On the other end (<10%): earthy, musty, floral. In the middle (10-20%): like a campfire, sometimes leathery.

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2024?***

    Enjoying a night cap after a hard day of work. SPC Bourbon Barrel Aged Plumb Pudding on top of some blend I made and don't remember what is in it... but I tasted some perique and latakia in it and it was delicious! Very cool smoke.

    What's Your Custom Blend Made Just For You?

    In an effort to improve upon the Caddo Lake Campfire Blend (see a few posts above), I ended up discovering ANOTHER blend using these same tobaccos. It's amazing to me how slight differences seem to change the flavor/smell profiles enough to be considered a different blend altogether. This one...

    Cob Hazing.

    https://pipesmagazine.com/forums/threads/missouri-meerschaum-explains-shank-in-bowl-bottom.80377/ This post may help... In my experience: I've only ever enjoyed small cobs, not the big ones. I've owned several small cobs and they are amazing. It takes very little time to break them in, and...

    Solitary or Social Smoker?

    Couldn't agree more...

    Solitary or Social Smoker?

    Enlighten me. I'm on the mid-coast of Texas.

    Solitary or Social Smoker?

    I used to enjoy the comradery like this with a friend who moved away several years ago and has never returned. Miss those times.

    Tobaccos With A Nic Hit?

    Where can I find some to purchase? Sounds delightful.

    Tobaccos With A Nic Hit?

    I don't think I've ever quite felt the way some of you have described...lol. Sure, I've been hit by the nic, but it just sooths the moment a bit and relaxes the muscles. I've maybe come close to feeling naeseous a couple of times as I get older, but it's pretty rare.

    Pipes With a Restrictive Draw

    What you described is what I consider "sipping", where a subtle amount of smoke enters the mouth with each draw instead of plumes of smoke caused by a suckling action. Probably works great to not have restriction in the draw with that style. That is generally how I smoke too, but I pack the...

    Pipes With a Restrictive Draw

    I'm not nearly as experienced... But I have had the privilege of smoking both types of pipes as you describe it. I actually prefer the restricted draw for sipping smoke. It seems to concentrate the flavors as it enters my mouth and it eliminates the need for plumes of smoke to thoroughly enjoy...

    Golf Tee as an Accessory?

    It's been years now, but I think I came across this idea while golfing - the once-a-year golf I get to enjoy these days... I've got a nice tamper, but it just barely doesn't fit at the bottom of this bowl... And it is not as light and easy to manipulate. The lighter has multitools attached...

    Golf Tee as an Accessory?

    While I'm working around the house, I love this little cob pipe. It delivers a little more quantity of flavorful tobacco than a cigarette. It's easy to carry around, easy to hold in my mouth, easy to work with while I'm working with my hands, easy to place in my pocket when I'm done with it...

    Matches vs. Lighters: Any Difference?

    Nope, you have a good point. I suppose nothing new has been suggested and I certainly have nothing to add. :)

    New Pipe/Tobacco Pouch.

    There is a zipper pocket with an open pocket right behind it. Has anyone had this zipper pocket come lose on the top side of the pocket? The stitching on mine seems to have completely come lose and now it's just two open pockets with or without the zipper.

    New Pipe/Tobacco Pouch.

    Thanks! I thought about doing so, but was curious if it was meant to work without bags.

    Matches vs. Lighters: Any Difference?

    Still good to know each other's techniques so as to try different ways and find what works best for ourselves. Yes, old subject, but new to the newcomers.

    New Pipe/Tobacco Pouch.

    I've got one too, but I don't use the tobacco pouch since it seems to dry out the tobacco to a dust quicker than I can smoke it - even with a boveda pack. It seems too porous. Any tips on how to use this accessory effectively?
