    Pipes Which Produce A Sweeter Smoke

    I have nothing to comment on what your asking, but I want to say that I love the looks of that pipe! Sounds like you enjoy using it as much as we like seeing it, I would call that sweet.

    So just what makes a good smoking pipe to you?

    I am glad you asked that question, I will enjoy reading responses from folks with more experience. I only have a handful of pipes and can't say that I hate any of them, but I do gravitate to one more than another, but I'm not sure I can tell you why. All mine would be considered low end by most...

    Filter or no filter?

    I gave the no filter idea a go for a few days. Gotta say I don't care for it. Seems to me that without a filter there is a better chance for bite and I could "taste" the lighter. So its back to filter for me...

    What is meant by "Group 3" or "Group 4" etc?

    Small, medium and large are pretty subjective. Glad I don't have to buy shoes that way.

    Clergy Pipe Smokers.

    I will say that I gave up alcohol and chewing years ago, in part because I felt I could no long keep it in moderation. Alcohol was cold turkey and not an issue. Its been nearly 20 years now. But I struggled with chew for some time. I believe that tells me I really did have an issue with...

    Mason Jars???

    I have been getting 1oz samples from a local B&M. I find they fit perfect into a 1/2 pint canning jar. The jars I have are intended for fancy jam or jelly. You get a box of four at Wally World for under $5. Till I find something I really like 1oz is just enough for me. (I empty the contents of...

    Smoke with or without a filter

    I gave no filter a try for a few bowls, for now I am a filter user. One thing I noticed is that I can "taste" the lighter. Does anyone else notice this? For me it was a show stopper.

    Chicago area

    It appears that Iwan Ries store closes at 5:30. Don't know that we will even make it into town by then.

    Chicago area

    Looks like I will be spending the night in Chicago this Thursday, may have some spare time in the evening. Should be near Ohare airport. Any suggestions on tobacco shops near there? There is no place near me that sells tinned tobacco, would love to pick some up. Driving in from the south, so...

    Plug for corncob pipes

    I got a MM cob lite up right now. They really are a BIG bang for the buck. Lots of pipes are pretty to look at, but cobs are hard to beat for a good smoker in my book.

    Filter or no filter?

    Maybe I'll change as time goes on but as of now I like filters. I tried my cob without a filter and did not care for it. I kind of like a little restriction it would seem. Like I said, maybe that will change sometime down the line. A agree, try the same pipe with and without...

    Grandpa's tip

    I have a few Barlow style knifes in my small knife collection in honor of my grandfather. But I find them bulky to carry, and they don't fit in my pipe well. I have a stock man style that fits my Lark just about perfect. I don't know why a man would carry anything else. 8)

    Breaking in a Missouri Meerschaum hardwood pipe

    I like mine, it is planned as a take to the woods pipe during mushroom season. I am pretty sure it will see duty in the tackle box later this year as well. I may now get another and try that honey trick.
