How To Clean Cob Pipe Rim?
Start with a Country Gent... When the rim gets beyond your liking and can no longer be wiped down, swirl it on a sheet of sandpaper to “freshen it up”. Repeat as needed. A few years later, you’ll have a Morgan... ...then a mini... ...then buy a new one. ?- Ctbill

Zippo
Zippos are great. They impart a slight flavor for a nanosecond. You need to refill ‘em. You’ll change the flint occasionally. They ARE windproof. They last forever, and are guaranteed as such. The butane insert is nice, but you give up all Zippo goodness - just use a Bic. I do not work for Zippo...?- Ctbill

Serious protein right there... 16-12-8 ounce servings is 1,000 , 1,500 , 2,000 servings! That’ll last a while...or keep a neighborhood happy and full!- Ctbill

Moose Camp 2020.
So awesome... I’m a hunter. No better “organic” food! My wife, however, thinks “meat” only comes from the back aisle of the big grocery store, on a styrofoam tray, wrapped in cellophane... Enjoy the journey, struggle, hassle, enjoyment, thrill, camaraderie of the fall harvest, that is providing...- Ctbill

Clogged Falcon
I’m no Falcon expert, but I had a few episodes of “hard draw, or clogged” experiences. Something about the chamber design allows tobacco to get packed in that last little hole above the humidome I think, causing the draw issue. Maybe check this area on your next encounter? Unscrew, quick top... -
Help Me With a VaPer...
Great list here! Thanks for the suggestions. Reading a bunch of tobacco reviews is usually helpful when searching for a new blend, but I have found “frame of reference” suggestions to be the best for me. I threw out two VaPers as a frame of reference and asked for a “tweak”, and y’all stepped...- Ctbill

Portable Long-Term Tobacco Storage
I have a few Icetool tins as well - slim and regular with lid. Pretty good for pipe tobacco, but not as good for longer term “storage” as the screw down versions. I’d call it Icetool for up to 30 days, and screw tops “forever”... My $0.02 ?- Ctbill

Help Me With a VaPer...
Dabbling in VaPers recently. I think I started on two good ones: Dunbar, and PS LNF 400. Feel like I’d like a bit more perique... Any suggestions?- Ctbill

Portable Long-Term Tobacco Storage
It does the job well. I have one. “might” get just about two bowls stuffed in there, for an average 1.5 inch depth, .75 inch diameter pipe. Keeps tobacco just as you put it in. Have gone over 2 months before using on occasion, and all was just like I put in. I would call it air tight. Nice...- Ctbill

Water Flush Cleaning Technique
Not sure this thread need more comment, but I’ll give my $0.02 worth anyway... I read about the water flush process here, but don’t recall the exact original source. I do it almost always after every bowl. Works! I have a collection of both cheap and “nice” pipes, but no heirlooms or ultra...- Ctbill
