    Boswell or Tinsky??

    I have 2 Tinsky. I bought a Boswell and immediately sold it as I did not like the workmanship/design. I am sure that they are good pipes just not my style. The Tinsky pipes are my favorite.

    Conical Bowls

    willyspiper. I am glad that the instructions have helped. I wonder if we need to wet the chamber sides after the bowl is broken in. Seems to be working well for you. I do like the 3 Kirsten pipes I have but enjoy my classic briar pipes too. Happy puffing!

    Conical Bowls

    I had some instructions for packing Kirsten pipes. The standard bowel is a conical shape. Check if you have instructions or they may be on the Kirsten site. As I recall, it says to pack with one fill and compress tightly. It works for me. And, it may have to do with the draft hole being dead...

    Can't Taste Tobaccos

    If none of the above good suggestions solves the problem, Note that some of us have a seasonal preference for VA & Va/Pr in the summer and Lat foreword blends in the fall and winter. This is because they taste better to us in those seasons. YMMV So stay the coarse and happy pipe smoking. It is...

    Nimrod lighter question, possibly just an idiot

    Mine does not have anything. It does look like one could be installed although "O" rings usually are compressed against a parallel surface and this would be compressed on an angled surface. I looked at the original patent and no seal/gasket is indicated. I do not use it often enough to say how...

    Has Any Member Really Run Out of Tobacco?

    I must have 40 years ago. Living BF Idaho. But, the trauma was severe. I have blacked out the whole event. Thanks to this assemblage I have a 20 year supply hidden away. Enough to make it to my 96th birthday. :rofl:

    Maybe times are changing

    My wife is my main critic. The same blend will get a different response it seems. I rarely smoke aromatics and was wondering if there are some non Aeros that the public likes. Probably the ones ""grandpa" smoked. :rofl:

    Info: John Cotton's Smyrna (The Original Orlik Blend) 11-02-18

    Woods. The Smyrna that I remember from 1964 was extremely dark, read black, and smelled to those of us around the smoker like burning tires. The smoker liked it though. What version did you try to match? :mrgreen:

    What Is Your Favorite Cut?

    Cig..... A rib steak has the bone with it. A rib eye is with out the bone. I hate the way the industry changes the definitions.End of Rant. I do like the flakes that can be folded and stuffed. :mrgreen:

    Shelby Foote's Civil War Trilogy...Any Good?

    I have read a book by that name. Not sure of the author. It is interesting to someone who is a Californian. I live in the "Gold Country" so it is a local that I am familiar with. "Death Valley in 49" is another interesting history also. :puffpipe:

    Learning to Smoke?

    I did not know there was a "right way" till now. 58 years...... :nana:

    Never seen a pipe like this...looks a bit like a Falcon.

    Make sure the stem and the valve on the front can be removed. If not, you have a job ahead if it can be loosened. Offer them much less money. They do smoke very nicely. LRT
