    PSA: Don’t Leave Your Pipes On Your Lap

    Hey, does this screw-in thing work? I’d love to know for sure. I’ve got a no name favorite in the OP’s position as well. Would love to not have to send it off if possible! The JH pipe, on the other hand, that might be a profesh situation there.

    Linkman’s Grabow 9733A Corrosion?

    I recently picked up a Linkman’s Grabow author shaped pipe- propellor logo and all (which is how it caught my eye in the otherwise terrible shape it was in)! The problem is, 1) the band around the shank seems to be corroded and 2) I can’t even twist the stem off. I’m not a fan of stingers… but...

    PS Cube Cut New Chemical Taste

    I have loved PS cube cut from the start. But after a long hiatus I recently loaded a bowl to find that there was a very pronounced and very distinct chemical smell/flavor that I’ve never encountered. Could it be that my jar got some kind of bacteria in it over the five years I’ve had it? Or...

    Pipe Lighter - Leads and Recommendations

    Corona old boy here… going strong for four or five years now. Had tried everything else and nothing was working. Would love to try a corona pipemaster some day!

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2022?***

    KBV Jupiter Slices w added Perique in a Sasieni Four Dot… KBV is killing it in my opinion!

    More Mold Identification

    Smoke it. Mold on my tobacco has been so obvious that there wasn’t a question. Recently some Dunbar I had was powdery and a few minutes in the daylight Sun made me glad I hadn’t trashed it. Who knows if it’s plume… but harmful mold… I’m just unconvinced based on your pictures.

    Confession Time

    You’re completely right. I woke up this morning and thought, “wait, my post didn’t make any mathematical sense! What was I smoking!?” So, for the final try, when I was 20 years younger than I am today, I visited many great brick and mortar pipe shops… now all gone. That’s not news, I suppose...

    Noodle Press Tobacco

    Has anyone looked at this tobacco press gadget? I’m not very handy so this kind of tool would get some use for me (instead of making the ones I’ve seen put together on YouTube). Tobacco stainless steel press 4.151 - https://brogshop.pl/en_US/p/Tobacco-stainless-steel-press-4.151-/1339

    Confession Time

    This is it: totally worth it. Car pipe rest. *not affiliated, to be clear. But I wish I was bc it’s legit.

    Confession Time

    That would be funny. My grammar is poor because what I was trying to say is “21 years later.” I’m actually 41 now and I even still did the math wrong! Any way, 23 years later, I haven’t seen a good b&m pipe place in years.

    Confession Time

    I’ve been smoking a pipe since I was 18, now 21 years. I’ve enjoyed learning all kinds of things about the hobby during that time but i now have a fairly set routine of habits that I do whether or not they abide by the majority opinion. Here are my own pipe-smoking pragmatic idiosyncrasies by...

    Whole Leaf Perique Next Steps

    So, I opened it and while it’s oily as expected, it’s not necessarily damp. I sanitized my scissors and jar and then cut up a bit to try this week. Will get to jarring the rest tomorrow. And let y’all know what happens. Thanks.

    Whole Leaf Perique Next Steps

    My Perique order from whole leaf tobacco came in today and before I take it out of the vacuum sealed package, I wondered if anyone might have some tips on the best way to proceed. I want to open it, cut it up in strands, and start adding it to different blends for fun but I can’t tell by...

    Can you spray cologne inside the bowl ?

    First, what? Is this serious? Second, being an adolescent of the 90s, I suggest “Cool Water” or “Hugo Boss” both of which the ladies love(d).

    UK Pipe Smokers....or Lack Thereof

    Because I’m “ “ “younger” “ “ and a pipe smoker, it seems any time I smoke my pipe in public, in the car, etc, people stare and point and *I think* wonder: “Why is that guy smoking weed in such a large pipe. That’s weird.” 🤦‍♂️
