    Ask Hank 14: The Perfect Smoke is Attainable with This One Weird Trick

    The finger tamp is my most used. I would say 90% of the time.

    An Escudo Convert

    Never been much of a VA guy, but the way people talk about this I always fee like I should give it a shot. I got to try some of the Copes years ago. Can that the owner of my B&M had stashed away. Couldn't really say much about the flavor but the word "rich" seems to stick in my head.

    James Bond and Bernard Lee pipe - anyone

    If I was gonna take a stab, I would say Dunhill. Classic shapes, classic British name. I could be off the mark by a mile though.

    Christmas Tunes

    I'll second what Mackeson said. This is my absolute favorite time of the year. There is a running joke with our friends that if you want something from me, ask between Thanksgiving and New Year, because I'm unlikely to say no. Fairytale of New York is such an overlooked song. Great call on...

    What Are Your Favorite Nicotine Bombs?

    OJK and Royal Yacht for me. Uni Flake has a decent amount, but I wouldn't call it a bomb.

    Can pipe tobacco ever be TOO dry? (Preference aside)

    Yep. Les likes his tobacco like mulch. Actually, mulch might have more moisture. The answer for me is, yes.

    Modern Classic Movies Everyone Needs To Watch In Their Lifetime

    I couldn't agree more, Nate. When I first watched Darko, I was like, WTF, but it was one of those movies that just drew you in and you couldn't help but watch it again. Very dark, but very well done. One that isn't on the list that I think is often overlooked is American Beauty, with Kevin...

    A Man Cave Is Born

    Congrats on the new home. Just purchased my first this past July. I'm fortunate that I'm allowed to smoke in the house, but the third bedroom in the house was converted to an office as my getaway. I've yet to get myself a comfy chair, but I have my desk, pipes, and the large closet was outfitted...

    Peterson's Perfect Plug: What Am I Doing Wrong?

    There is a chance that no matter how fast or slow you smoke it, how you cut it up or how much you dry it, you may never experience the flavors you seek. Some blends just don't work for some people, regardless of how hard you try.
