    September 2010 - What are you smoking? Vol. II

    Good evening. It's the original Anniversary in the Cherrywood Style Meerschaum Poker from Altinok. Best to all.

    How to get that taste out of your mouth.

    It's a good idea to rinse with the mouthwash of your choice and floss. This may not be convenient, but it's a good habit to develop and in time, it will not seem like such a bother.

    Fall Time

    The cooler weather provides me with desire to smoke the heavier blends more frequently than I do in the summer.

    Rattrays whats your favorite blend

    This is one of those situations of hair-splitting for me... I've smoked many of these blends for years. I enjoy: Red Rapparee, Black Mallory, Marlin Flake, Hal O' the Wynd and Old Gowrie. All are good fresh, but age wonderfully.

    PAD causes fiance to start smoking pipes... help.

    Explodingpenguin wrote me with some questions about the joint connector on this Pipe. It seems a good idea to share the information... What you have is a faux military mount. The bit engages the mortise like a military mount. The mortise, which is really a shank extension of acrylic, is...

    Man Bag Or No- Help!

    As I have the time and opportunity to provide choice of Pipes and blends, a leather duffel carries more than I need these past few years. The Pipes, tobaccos, cleaning supplies, books and snacks I pack along with me give me hours of pleasure, so much so that I might not say more than a few...

    Cornell & Diehl Factory Tour and Interview

    Thanks again Kevin. This is ample demonstration that the only thing relaxing about Pipe tobacco is in the smoking of it. Everything else is hard work. Craig really has the operation and it doesn't waste any space. There's a lot of knowledge that's behind what these guys are doing.

    September 2010 - What are you smoking? Vol. II

    Thanks Krgulik. It's a recently acquired estate Paul Fischer Meerschaum that shows his minimalist take on a Paneled Billiard. It's cleaning up nicely, taking a lot of Beeswax and already turning out to be a good smoke. For now, it's Tordenskjold Virginia Slices in the Bauer Prince. Best to...

    Tasting different tobaccos

    Beyond the subjective qualities of flavor awareness there is another factor that is often overlooked. These Pipes we smoke are incinerators that loose their efficiency with use, as the accumulations of past smokes become resident in them. A clean Pipe will deliver a sweeter smoke and the...

    Pulled the trigger again

    Yes, Sinan's site is an excellent place to acquire quality Meerschaums in a range to suit most any taste and preference. One thing to keep in mind with a new Meerschaum is to clean it before smoking it. There will be an abundance of milling dust in both the Block and the bit, so take it...

    Which side of the mouth do you put your pipe?

    Both and in the middle.

    Latakia

    I do smoke some heavy Latakia blends in the cooler weather and enjoy them. I've not tried smoking it straight and have no plans to do so. Still, both Cyprian and Syrian leaf are tasty to me.
