    Guinness Extra Stout: Warm or Cold?

    I like my stouts slightly cold, but room temp isn't bad either. Pilseners on the other hand... I put those in the freezer for a good few before I pop them.

    Whoa! That Wasn't Expected...

    Thankfully not injured, I counted all my fingers and somehow I have 11 now...

    Whoa! That Wasn't Expected...

    So my day is winding down and as usual I decided to smoke a bowl or two. I smoked one bowl, emptied it in my glass ashtray, killed a few minutes and then started packing my second bowl. My ashtray was getting a bit full but it looked like it could still hold a few helpings more so I didn't think...

    A Mistake I Will Not Repeat

    Women want practical gifts on ordinary days. Had you come home one day with a food processor and said "well, I was just thinking about how you said that you wanted one, and how grateful I am that you do what you do... this will make it easier" you would not have slept on the couch. Sentimental...

    Stem Removal

    I followed that method as well, I even did it clockwise (although I didn't know that bit about the drill bit) Still my stem is looser than it was :(

    Stem Removal

    I used to do that, but the stem on my first pipe started to get noticeably loser than it was before. I only have good pipes so I try not to remove the stem as much. It's difficult with bent pipes, though.

    My Last Newbie Question (I Hope)

    So I've been smoking for almost a year now and I think I have a good hold on how I personally best enjoy my pipes (with room for improvement of course). There is just one thing that I am unsure about, so I thought I would ask you all. For me, the last ~30% of the bowl never tastes nearly as good...

    No Joy in Smoking

    I haven't tried a lot of Mac baren, but it is pretty well known for tongue bite from what I hear. Maybe it's not the best choice for a beginner learning to smoke at the right pace?

    Brothers of the Beard

    I shaved my full beard last year in July for the first time since I was 16. I decided to leave the stache at first to see what it looked like...

    Pipe Cork

    I do the exact same thing. Got the idea from the nice fellows on this site.

    Brothers of the Beard

    I'm only 23 but I have had a full beard since I was 16. It was long for awhile but the last year i've cut it down to a few cm - an inch or so. Was funny telling people I was 18 when I had a long beard and a handlebar mustache which I could pull up to my forehead.

    This Can't be Safe...

    Don't be silly guys. It will be an Abrams, not a T-90.

    Ghosting One's Mouth

    Never had that happen with tobacco before, but food/drink I have. I'd save that blend for the end of the day.

    What's Your Favorite Frog Morton Blend?

    In Europe I can't find any of these blends, but I am moving to KC in a few months and I am going to smoke the living crap out of them. Sorry for not contributing, just a thought I felt like posting ;)

    Kinda Irked at My B&M.

    I've been to 3 B&Ms in my surrounding cities here in Germany and I was always astounded at how nice and helpful they are. The owners typically are willing to talk pipes and give advice even if you don't buy something (although them being so nice usually makes one want to buy something). One of...

    New Obamacare Premium Hikes for Smokers

    I live in europe and over here we have all the high taxes on anything "luxury" (i.e., not necessary, VAT) and socialist medicine, it's all a nightmare. Stock up on your pipe tobacco now, American friends, and avoid getting sick at ALL COSTS!

    Too Hot To Handle

    Other posters have made good points, I would like to add that when I get a new pipe, it burns hot for the first 5-10 smokes before it is broken in, usually. How long have you had the pipe? Either way it is probably not so good that it gets so hot that you can't touch it, but it might improve...

    That is a handsome pipe!
