    Oom Paul pipes get smoke right in your face...

    The OomPaul is a rare shape in the Meerschaum world. I only have one, an estate Paul Fischer. It smokes well and I cannot say that I've experienced getting smoke in my face from smoking it. The shape is notorious for being difficult to pass a Pipe cleaner, which is what I believe the...

    At the moment, I've no particular Pipe in mind... OK, so it's no particular Pipe in mind that I can afford.

    VERY vintage tobacco

    I'm glad that the gamble paid off for you. It's a crap shoot as to whether or not the blends that have been in a tin for over 10 years will still be smokable. Good for you!

    New York Snuffs Out Smoking (parks, time square Ban Passed)

    I've just had a thought... With the defiant character of most of the denizens of NYC, for which they are famous, I can see them organizing a spit-in, comprised of hoards of citizens working on a chaw of baccy...

    Pot of beans, warm fire and a smoke.

    Reading this thread has made me remember the campfire scene in Blazing Saddles..., with the memerable performance of the great, late Slim Pickens.

    Screen Savers?

    My preference would be for old Pipe tobacco tin art. I have plenty to choose from.

    Cob Question

    I toss the filters that come with a Cob. After a few smokes, the Cob starts giving a good smoke. Things really improve when the base of the shank that is in the bottom of the chamber burns away. I've learned to cut this wood out of the Cob, as part of the break-in and it works for a...

    Under the Radar....

    Thanks Iowamike. This Meerschaum is one I was truly lucky to get. The first smoke of Full Virginia Flake in this Pipe is surprisingly smooth. The Beeswax is absorbing nicely. Since the Carver's Beeswax dried out long ago, it makes sense that the volatiles used in the Block preparation...

    It looks like you've been able to bring this one back from the brink... Nicely done.

    Under the Radar....

    This Pipe arrived today and required light cleaning and Beeswax. Tomorrow, the bit will get some polish and the Pipe will start being broken in. It has barely been smoked but it should take a lot of Beeswax as the last 35 years or so have left the Block very dry.

    Pipe smoking attire: latest style

    I'm content to wear bluejeans, a pocket t-shirt and cowboy boots as my smoking ensemble while riding around in my pickup truck. Life in Texas is on the cutting edge of trend setting attire.

    JackKnife Plug

    I'm going to have to try some of this plug, just to see what all the fuss is about.

    February 2011 - What are you smoking?
