    How to Clean Peterson System 31

    Don't be so fast to get rid of that metal condenser. It is there for a reason. A system is not a system with a main component of it missing. Also your draw will become much more wide open. I say stick to the cleaning advice Dave gave otherwise.

    Getting the Most From Tobacco

    It seems one of the major problems of people starting out is that they are used to experiencing the room note and not the tobacco. So when they start, they expect that same experience which is just not the case. Especially with many aros where the room note can be better than the palate...

    Would You Rather be Tiger or Lance Armstrong?

    pushing my love of cycling to the side, Tiger. Lance has hurt an entire sport, is banned for life, lost all endorsements, thrown his best friends and team mates under the bus, devalued his own charity and the list goes on. Tiger while not being a very nice fellow according to people in the...

    Anyone Here Have Tattoos?

    Haha yeah it might never get finished at this rate. I'd say it's 60-70% done. It was started when i was 19 and i'm now 35. The guy that is doing it has now become famous and owns multiple shops. not to mention lives 3000 miles away.

    Show Us Your Dogs!

    Glad there are a lot of animal lovers here, especially dogs. AS it has been said by many intelligent men "A merciful man is merciful to his beast". I have two pit mix rescues. One a friend found and i took in, another i found in south philadelphia near a highway living in a small wooded area...

    Anyone Here Have Tattoos?

    i have a decent amount of ink, most of it is hidden. On the rare occasion i get to swim a lot of friends that have never seen me with most of my clothes off are surprised haha. I have an entire back piece that is not finished (for about 12 years now) of this image of Sri Kesava (Vishnu)

    Sir Walter Raliegh

    Yes Anthony, if you can afford it you should try to get some sampler packs. They are a cheap way to try much better tobaccos. I personally love the victory lap sampler from pipesandcigars.com. It will give you a look into a whole new world.

    Escudo and 1Q

    I did this last night. I feel like the escudo almost added what I can best describe as a cigarette flavor but a slightly more plummy note. I was actually surprised at how much of a nic hit it gave me. It was quite a ride, and I had a hard time sleeping afterwards!

    An Idea For Flavoring Tobacco Yourself

    Looks like you'll have to be the guinea pig and let us know how it works out. At the very least it will be interesting. For the record I like the idea of e-cigs and will have one once in a while. But we can't really discuss that here :) In my small experience the flavored ones have been...

    An Idea For Flavoring Tobacco Yourself

    One reason I think this could be a bad idea is that those liquids aren't meant to be burnt. They're meant to be vaporized. If you try and like it than more power to you but my personal opinion is that I want to reward these blenders for their work in the science of blending, tobacco growing...

    The Smoke and the Joe

    Coffee and a pipe is one of those simple absolute pleasures most people will never understand. I just had a cup of joe and. Bowl of trout stream mixed with Larry's Blend in a cob and it took my worries and morning headache away and replaced it with contemplation.
