    Ideal tamper design?

    Yup. I love mine, but miss my pick. I use it as a dedicated tamper when filling my pipes. Stays with the stash. I like its weight for filling. Then I use my Richards, Brebbia pipe nail or 8deco when smoking. Maybe, I also like it because it’s made in Ireland at Mulingar Pewter in my wife’s home...

    Why don’t you like pewter?

    Ideal tamper design?

    I agree with the 8deco or Richard’s pipe knife. I also love the design and weight of my Peterson Sherlock tamper, but miss having a pick when I use it.

    The Most Disappointing Tobacco

    In Canada we have Mr. B’s Mark Twain. Was supposed to be the best seller. Could not stomach it one bit.

    Obsidian Oil

    Wasn’t the creator of Obsidian Oil a member of the forum? Maybe he could advise?

    Obsidian Oil

    Has anyone had their Obsidian Oil start to congeal? Opened my bottle for the first time to try it and there was a white waxy build up around the bottom of the bottle neck. I shook it and it seemed to mix back in. Just wondering if this was the norm. Thanks.

    Current State of The Pipe Filter

    I only smoke with filters. 9mm Vauens work best in my Vauen. I use 6mm Savinelli charcoal filters in my Savs and MM cobs. The only exception is when I use 6mm Vauens in the cobs where the Savs don’t fit. The Vauens are slightly narrower. Oh, and Jean Claude 9mm in my European No. 1. Cob. The...

    Best of the berries?

    Don’t forget the Hobbit’s Weed. It really is rather nice 😊.

    Best of the berries?

    The Hobbit’s Weed (Tewksbury) match from 4noggins is also good. I smoke CBRM or this.

    Vinyl Set Up

    Sweet set ups! Couldn’t play all my Smiths and Morrisey 12 inch singles without mine.

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2023?***

    Tonight it’s some Hobbit’s Weed in a Country Gentleman outside by the fire.

    Vauen Basic Bent Apple

    Agreed! If I only started out with this pipe, my collection would look a whole lot different for sure.

    Ok is it the bread

    I love my wife’s Irish soda bread. Good God it’s awesome. Anything tastes good with it. Highly recommend getting yourself an Irish girl just for the bread… and they can drink a lot of your buddies under the table as well 😂.

    Love at First Puff

    As I mentioned in another thread, my new Vauen Basic. Smokes better than pipes that are twice the price in my collection.

    Pipe Smoking Social Meaning…If There Is One

    Living in Canada, I’m constantly surrounded by the smell of weed. It’s everywhere you go, at all times of the day. If I’ve got to put up with that stink, they can deal with my pipes 😂.

    Praise for Vauen Customer Service

    Just starting my Vauen journey and so far very impressed!

    Vauen Basic Bent Apple

    I smoke my cobs and Savinelli pipes with 6mm charcoal filters, and my church wardens without filters. The 9mm charcoal filter is really different in a positive way!

    Vauen Basic Bent Apple

    I have a ton of Savanelli pipes, cobs of all sorts, and a Peterson. I love them all. I just got a Vauen Basic pipe from SPC, however, and it’s knocked my socks off! What a great smoker. Loaded it up with some OGS and I am having a blissful experience. Can’t recommend the pipe enough. So...
