    I Did the Twist

    I see lots of funny replies already. Thanks guys. I'm a big advocate of the mindset: "you gotta start somewhere". One day I'll have the process down to a science.

    I Did the Twist

    I watched a couple videos on YouTube repeatedly and created a twist. It's an even mix of: Dominican Ligero Piloto Cubano Dark Fired Wrapped Burley Bright smooth flue-cured Virginia Rustica/ wild tobacco. It took my more than an hour to complete after deciding they would all smoke OK together. I...

    The Beginning Signs of Burnout. Pipe mud?

    It's refreshing to know that I'm not insane for thinking this was a total waste of $. Thanks for that. I'll glue it to a branch and hang it from a wire -- call it an ashy Christmas ornament.

    The Beginning Signs of Burnout. Pipe mud?

    Im guessing the JB weld cures into a non-volatile compound (at pipe smoking temperatures) just like metal. That does make sense to me now.

    The Beginning Signs of Burnout. Pipe mud?

    Oh I am happy to use JB weld on mechanicals, but certainly not smokeables.! I hate to judge but cmon that seems pretty irritant to the body. Osage Orange is one of the hardest woods in North America and I don't doubt that it could replace metal in certain scenarios.

    Noob Questions About Whole Leaf Storage

    It's not just a cost benefit. There's security involved as well. You get the security of knowing the ingredients of the blend. AND when our government writes a ban for tobacco sales via mailing prohibition or undue taxation in all US states we might be able to grow and blend our own tobacco...

    The Beginning Signs of Burnout. Pipe mud?

    Title edited for lack of capitals of important words. Rule 9. Can you post photos? I have a falcon bowl called the "chimney". The walls are a few mm thick all the way down. I don't smoke this bowl any differently than my other falcon bowl or any other of my briar pipes. I cannot smoke this...

    Is a Zippo Suitable for Pipes?

    I just reviewed my new pipe lighter insert on my zippo. No fuel taste. Certainly an aroma upon opening the zippo, and inhaling that could lead to leukemia. However, the volatile compounds should combust upon ignition or shortly thereafter. I am not a scientist, but I can tell you after using...

    Answer: overrated garbage just kidding. We say pork roll in my town but two towns down they say Taylor Ham so I never picked a side.

    E A Carey Pipes for New Pipe Smokers

    I tried my Falcon for the first time yesterday, and the smoke was noticeably drier and cooler. I know that that system definitely works. I don't drool but 2/3 of my briars require a stem/shank swipe halfway through the bowl. I have not had any moisture problems with the Falcon. I have...

    Greetings from New Jersey

    Thanks everyone. I'll be seeking a bulk alternative to Nightcap. I want to have 5 tobaccos to get by the pound to avoid multiple orders a month. I suppose I should begin to stray from tins, and I will look into all the bulk blends recommended to me. It's Saturday morning EST, so I hope...
