Bottom-Of-Bowl Frustration
I too am haunted by the idea my bowl has to burn down to a fine gray or white ash. I used to put less expensive, or a new blend I didn't like, at the bottom to catch the crap and dump when I reached it. Lately though, with no bad tasting tobacco to use as a filter, I have been dutifully scraping...- mayfair70

Briar Pipes and Water
Every time I get a new estate I do the same thing. I separate the stem from the bowl and wash both pieces in hot soap and water to get rid of the germs on the outside, especially around the mouthpiece. I rinse them well and towel dry. Then, I remove cake as necessary and clean the innards with...- mayfair70

Anyone else feel wierd about smoking an estate pipe?
A wet blanket is a welcome sight to a man on fire. I think if an estate pipe was broken in then refurbed, it would still be broken in unless those qualities were removed with refurbing. The bowl for instance. If someone thinks a pipe is broken in when it has thin layer of cake, they would have...- mayfair70

best tobacco for getting off cigarettes?
I just tried as many tobaccos as possible, focusing on recommendations from people who seemed to like what I liked. I smoked cigs less and less, noticing a pack lasted a few days, a week, two weeks. Then finally, I had no urge to smoke them anymore. ODF, Lat bombs, Aged virginias, VaPers. There...- mayfair70

I'm not a shrink...I'm not that rigid. Technically, I'm a greenhouse assistant/anthropologist specializing in studying human behavior, superstition, belief in magic, comparative religion, perception, human artifacts and technology. Because it was right in front of me and really only took about...- mayfair70

Anyone else feel wierd about smoking an estate pipe?
People used to have picnics in graveyards while visiting the dearly departed. They also used to prop up said relative in the parlor and have home viewings and take pictures prior to burial. I spent most of my youth walking through cemetery to get to the rope swing by the lagoon. So, I've walked...- mayfair70

Glossy Finishes
I can't speak to the Nording, they may just use a better finish, or apply it with more care. I do exactly what Chasingembers does. When I get a better setup, I'll be doing what Anthonyrosenthal74 does. Sanding with high grit AND WITH WAX before final coat and buffing, you can get a great shine...- mayfair70

Matching Your Pipe With Your Clothes.
If I were dressed up for the evening, I would just pick a nice looking, clean, briar. I would likely take a Kaywoodie. I'd leave my cobs at home...But that's just me.- mayfair70

What Kind Of Podcast Do You Listen To?
I only occasionally listen to Joe Rogan, or The Nerdist podcasts. The latter had a great one with Billy West which I thoroughly enjoyed. Didn't know there were so many historical or scientific podcasts. Startalk is on my "To Listen" list.- mayfair70
