    Favorite 'All Day Smoke"

    So - what is your favorite All Day Smoke? Something that you fill your pipe and smoke throughout the day. Not an occasional thing, but a regular go-to.

    Sarasota Pipe Meet

    Unfortunately, I am working this weekend and am not able to me the road trip to Edwards. Not sure if it got off the ground, but I planned to head over anyway. So, how about rescheduling a weekend in mid July to give plenty of planning time. What say?

Also, what's the preferred method of cleaning when that lovely pipe is several months old and has been moderately used? Now, let's throw in how to clean a pipe that is...

    Smoking in Humid Environments

    Hoos... when you were here, humidity was low for us! In summer, it's more like what the OP descried - high 80% range! You start sweating when you walk out to get the mail. Love it here!!! :col:

    Smoking in Humid Environments

    You want dry? Put it in the refrigerator for a couple hours. Or the freezer - but not more than an hour.
