    Tobacco for New Smokers

    I recommend D&R Rimboche AP as an introductory smoke. It is a very forgiving tobacco. It comes ready to smoke (not too wet not too dry). It is springy, easy to pack and stays lit better than most even if it’s a little loose or tight. It’s very forgiving of cadence, you can push it a little...

    Still Getting What I Paid For?

    The delivery truck probably wasn’t air conditioned in the back either

    Happy Holidays

    We didn’t celebrate this growing up so I only just found out today. I never got to celebrate March 14th in 26 years of marriage either so maybe it’s just me.

    Stem Will Not Fit Into Pipe

    This is from experience and you get experience from mistakes.

    Stem Will Not Fit Into Pipe

    If you resort to sanding remember you aren’t trying to enlarge the hole, you just want to smooth out a few raised wood fibers that are causing friction. The hole is already the right size or it wouldn’t have come apart earlier.

    Pipe Grading

    Bu I think we can all agree that hard to find tobaccos are worth paying that premium for.?

    Pipe Grading

    There are many reasons someone might buy a pipe. I buy them to smoke them and grading doesn’t mean a lot to me. Sometimes I might buy one just because I like something about it. Others buy pipes never to be smoked but be part of a collection. I imagine their selection process is very different...

    Storing Tobacco

    I think all the magic happens when the tobacco is dreaming. If you barely let it get back to sleep before waking it up not much is going to happen other than it slowly drying up. I put 3/4 of a small tin in a jelly jar a day or two after opening, just long enough to let the aroma settle down a...

    Where Are the Women Pipe Smokers?

    Where Are the Women Pipe Smokers?

    I think men try to do one thing at a time. We try to do it very well and then we move on to something else. Most women seem to be bored if they don’t have at least ten things going on at the same time all the time. I think that’s why they’re always about 9 steps ahead of me.

    How Long Does It Take You to Smoke Through a Tin?

    About a week on average. However I open up a tin every couple of days. I smoke about a quarter of each tin and jar the rest to com back to. I also smoke half bulk Luxury Navy Flake from the local B&M. 2 -3 ounces a week. I do however dump at least 20% as dottle. I like the second half best if it...

    Would Anyone Suggest this for After Smoke Cleaning?

    I recommend swabbing everything with a pipe cleaner dipped in everclear, a quick rinse with warm water, then drying as best you can and letting it sit to dry the rest of the way. If you have a couple of vanilla beans you can cut them up and drop them in the everclear. If you like the smell of...

    Dunhill Navy Rolls

    Try the Stokebye Navy Flake and Rimboche AP. Age the Navy Flake and smoke the Rimboche fresh unless you buy it in a tin.

    Cornell & Diehl Small Batch Sun Bear Black Locust

    Mine is very good also but should really improve with age. The sweet and tangy citrusy flavors seemed to compete instead of complimenting each other. I was smoking it in a Missouri Pride so a wider bowl would probably blend the flavors better

    Finding Something I Like...

    If it’s that dry you can cup it in your hands and breathe out of your mouth through your hands and the moisture in your breath will soften it up enough not to crumble. That’s right where I like to smoke it but I prefer to catch it on the way to dry than let it over dry.
