    Pipe Stands

    I've also seen some decent spice racks at thrift stores and yard sales that can make pretty decent pipe racks for a buck or two also (I'm cheap). But some free hands and sitters don't take well to them. I tend to store my regular's upright in racks. Even the sitters. The missus doesn't like...

    What Are You Smoking? August 2013

    PS LBF in a Savinelli natural billiard. This pipe is really starting to take on some color. Great smoker for 40 bucks, she's just not pretty. Coffee and calling in locates for future jobs.

    Though I Now Like Englishes, There's Still a Place for Aros :)

    I roam around a lot on what I'm smoking. Most days I'm happy with VaPers, sometimes I find myself smoking Englishes for a few weeks, then I'll go on an Aro binge. Same things for different companies. You start to get a "feel" for how one blending house "tastes", which ones you feel at home...

    McClelland Bulk: 2015 - Virginia / Perique Flake...Comments on the Blend

    Sallow you pretty much nailed how I feel about McCelland VaPers. HOWEVER I also think they get overlooked on the Virginia's in some of their English blends (which isn't like their VaPer Virginias) and I've yet to try any straight Virginia offering from them. I always feel like I need some...

    Finally Found a Blowfish for the Rack

    Fish. That is gorgeous. Sometimes I see those particular shapes and the lines look muddled and confused, but that one just looks clean and confident. Happy for you.

    How do I Ensure a Sweet Smoke

    After a cleaning I always use a soft flame on the inside of the bowl. Then I wipe it out. I really don't care for the taste of the rum I use and the flame seems to do the trick.

    Long Time Listener, First Time Caller

    Welcome! Have you looked at McCelland's Beacon? I love it but I can't smoke it all the time. Tends to be too tangy and rich for an everyday smoke for me.

    Peterson "Irish Oak" Tin (Canada)

    Good stuff. I enjoy it in the morning. It's one of those tobaccos I'd like to keep around and smoke a tin once or twice a year.

    McCelland's Jubilee in a Hilson poker. Waiting for the coals and watching the kids play in the yard.

    My First Take On Restoring Estates (Heavy Pictures)

    Smokey that looks like it's coming along nicely. I used to use salt, but I swear it gives the bowl a funny taste. Almost like you need to do salt THEN cotton balls with alcohol. Yet at the same time I feel like the salt works better. I always use a lighter on the inside of the bowl after I'm...

    Walkthrough of Savinelli Estate Refurb

    Nice job! Sonic cleaner. Never thought of that. Now I have to research sonic cleaners.

    eBay Falcon Purchase

    Congrats! Smoked mine this morning. After you get it cleaned up, I know some use a pipe cleaner, round it around the base of the aluminum bowl and snip it, making a little moisture filter. I don't, but they do tend to get gunk filled pretty quickly. I just pour a little rum in it, then hit it...

    The Case of the Disappearing Tampers

    When my tampers are missing I go down to the laundry and grab one out of the small bowl my wife puts them in. I always leave stuff in my pockets.
