    Do You Clench your Pipe?

    I switch the sides of my mouth all the time. I also like the “ softy bits” makes it easier for me to hold in my mouth. I also hold the pipe in either hand depending on - who knows, I just do. I am right handed.

    Deep cleaning

    So having read a ton of stuff here about cleaning out a bowl after smoking I decided to do this: Normal smoke, then lightly wetted down a paper towel with with -years old Bourbon whiskey. I don't drink as I can not tolerate the taste of alcohol. But this smelled fantastic so I wiped out my bowl...

    How Much is Too Much?

    @hauntedmyst Thanks for the link to the year-long test of the Dr. Grabow pipe vs the 7 pipe rotation. I might never have stumbled upon that thread. I over think almost everything and with all the advice here it makes my wheels spin even faster. It was good to read that year long example of 1 pipe.

    Suggestions for Air Purifier (No Ozone)

    Question: When you use your ozone machine in your man cave, does that room have an air vent and if so do you tape it off while the ozone machine is running? or ?

    Pear-Wood or Corn Cob for Beginner?

    That’s hilarious. I enjoy cob pipes but then, I look and dress like I smoke cob pipes per your analogy! Gotta dig ‘em!

    Help me Find my First Tobacco..

    If u have never smoked a pipe, and own no pipe- I would suggest this: buy a corn cob for about $5-6 at Missouri corn cob. Get 2 or 3 if u like. Buy just a few 1 oz. Bags of bulk tobacco. That Lane 1Q comes that way as do many others. Practice the techniques you read here and/ or see on you tube...

    Tobacco for Breaking in a New Pipe- Suggestions!

    Well like everything else I guess, time has a way of changing outlooks, approaches, and tobaccos! ? So as many above said, I will relax and just smoke whatever to break in a new pipe- except for those absolute “ will ghost” Tobaccos. Those will find a pipe of permanence for themselves.

    I had read from all of you that both Latakia and Lakeland are infamous for ghosting. I had not read/ heard that about the VA though. Just straight Va or?
