    aging

    The basic plan for a press involves a cylinder, two pistons and a C-Clamp. My cylinder is a 4"x4"x4" stainless steel post stock that is 1/8th" thick. The two pistons are 2"x4"x4" hardwood blocks that will fit flush inside the cylinder when empty. A C-Clamp provides more force than a bench...

    PipesMagazine.com Corporate Office

    I like the photos that they put on pouches of St. Bruno Flake... They show a young man with a neck goiter the size of a watermelon. The next step will be to state: If you smoke this you will put everyone in a 50 kilometer radius at risk, besides demonstrating that you are fully qualified to...

    aging

    Excellent information Cortezattic and Pstlpkr. Much has been written on the progression of aerobic to anaerobic fermentation in the aging process, which relies on the airtight seals of containers. Personal experience has also taught me that using bail top jars for bulk tobaccos allow me to...

    Hermit XVC

    I've got a couple of the XV2 squirreled away in the cellar. This is an excellent Syrian blend, unfortunately of limited production. Nightwatch and Rosebud are other favorites of mine that Hermit produces. It was the Hermit blends that started me into pressing blend years ago.

    Sub Brands And Seconds

    In the Meerschaum world, it is best to stay with reputable sources. Meerschaum seconds are the bulk of what's on e-bay. The second will typically be low grade Block. The presence of occlusions in the Block will lead to fracture of the Pipe with use. Fills are a cosmetic issue and do not...

    Favorite place to enjoy a nice bowl

    I rarely drive anywhere without a Pipe going for enjoyment and the peace it gives me, despite traffic conditions. The B&M is another great place for me and the computer room, which is where I smoke in the house. Parks are good as well, weather permitting. In short, anywhere I can smoke...

    Your Cellar

    As your cellar grows, you will find suitable space for it's expansion inside, where you live. At first, it will be mostly the open rotation of blends that you smoke. The size of the cellar grows with time and the availability of funds. After a few years of feeding the cellar, you will be...

    Finishing that bowl...

    Most of the time, the load gets completely incinerated in these Meerschaums I smoke. I tend to smoke blends a bit on the dry side and if the lower third of the bowl is good, it gets smoked. For me, the full story of a blend is revealed in the bottom of the bowl. Some blends just don't work...
