    Reverse Calabash

    both cool the smoke by precipitating some of the steam. almost all the heat in the smoke is in the steam, condensing or otherwise eliminating the steam is both necessary and sufficient to cool the smoke.

    Reverse Calabash

    AFAICT a reverse calabash is just a non-trademark-infringing system pipe, only not as well thought out. Both the aluminum chimney and the tapered bore are effective elements of the design, and if there are any "reverse calabashes" that use them I've yet to see them. Of course a calabash...

    Your First Pipe?

    My first pipe was a basket freehand by Alpha, I still have it though it's reserved for cherry aromatics. Second pipe was an unfinished Nording freehand that I'm pretty sure I still have but haven't seen since my last move, its probably in the same box as my Boswell and my college ring, third...

    Cocktail Experimentation?

    Sometimes I add an extra dash of Peychauds to my Sazerac. And I've been known to use Gordons instead of Boodles in my martinis, but that's only if I'm desperate.

    Translucent Meerschaum

    Should color beautifully, but with a seven day rotation of meers it'll take you a few lifetimes.

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2021?***

    Just finished four bowls of Peretti Royal in a brand new Altinay spigot claw. I'd post a picture but I've started on a sizeable Martini and what with the Boodles is kicking in I don't trust myself to handle it without dropping it....

    Acrylic Stem Slippery.

    Rubber softie bit. They're a buck or two a pop at your local pipe shop or online equivalent. I have them on all my pipes. Besides providing a more secure grip when I clench they also prevent my canine from punching a hole in the stem.

    Sour Taste

    Is this the same thing as STG's Danske Club Sungold? I believe that has oriental tobaccos in it, some of which have a kind of sour flavor. It wouldn't hurt to dip a pipe cleaner in some alcohol and run it down the bore just to make sure that your pipe isn't sour, but I bet it's the tobacco.

    The Tobbacolypse: Would it Affect You at All?

    I have lived through many tobaccopolypsia: the sobraniepocolypse, the bengalslicespocolypse, the durbarcpocolypse, the bombaycourtpocolypse. Experience has made me hard, and prepared, and deeply stocked. Not deeply stocked enough mind you; i couldn't survive a perettipocolypse. But I'm...

    Tongue Bite, Smoking Technique, and 9MM Activated Charcoal Filters

    if I get tongue bite it's because of chemical burn. I've got cracks in the surface of my tongue which makes me more sensitive to this. Fortunately there aren't a whole lot of blends i love that give me tongue bite. Invariably I won't get bitten until an hour or more after I've finished...

    Hello from Addicks, TX

    Yeah I was a regular there, at both Antique and later Croft's every Saturday, that's where I got the bulk of my pipes. Unfortunately the Briar Shoppe is just enough of an extra hike (and extra annoying to park) that I only make it there every decade or so. I haven't talked to Butera in years...
