    Vanilla Sans Topping Nor an Aro

    You could also just spray some vanilla extract on any blend you want. Vanilla flavour without all the casings and sugar. Heat the tobacco gently in oven to dry a little. Not crispy but enough to soak it up. Spray extract and put back in oven to dry it out and repeat 3 or 4 times. Then on the...

    I'm a Noobie and I Need Help with Tongue Bite! Please!

    Smoke gently and dry your tobacco more. Alot of times it's really the steam which gives issues, dry tobacco = less steam scorching your tongue. Dry tobacco stays lit better and allows you to slow down without the thing going out all the time.

    Butz Choquin Supra Fait Main

    That's in interesting piece. I have a Dublin shape from the same series, just no fancy gold band like yours.

    One Country Where Pipe Tobacco and Cigars are Still Cheaper Than in America

    My New Falcon

    Nice. They are a great one to have for certain times and certain blends. I have modified some of my brair bowls by sanding the bottom to give a little more air flow

    Burns At The Center Only

    As other people have said, you get more aroma and flavour by just having a portion of the tobacco burn and the rest of it around the ember heated. It's a good thing. But if you want then Tamp the sides toward the center to burn more evenly and give it a good but gentle initial light. See the...

    Arabic Pipe Tobacco: History of Dokha

    Yes dokha is the nicotiana rustica species. Containing around 10% nicotine(vs 1-3 For Virginia and around 3 for burley). I have bought some online before and also grew it too. Not really the sweet gentle flavour most pipesters are used to, different in its own way. It's strong! 2 or 3 small...

    Adding Tobacco While Smoking.

    You can but flavour is better if not. Just smoke it down and load it again.

    Stout Tobaccos to Lighter Blends?

    I prefer to smoke small bowls of stronger tobacco, instead of big bowls of weak stuff. I do prefer full flavour, but I can dig out the flavour in most blends. I just usually don't like to have to focus a bunch on hitting the sweet spot. It's not that I smoke overly fast, but I just prefer blends...

    Gawith Black XX Twist/Musky Butt Taste

    Just keep smoking it. At first I was like WHAT THE F*CK. Then I dared for another bowl and was perplexed but intrigued. I kept going and after a few days by the 10th bowl I started to actually enjoy it and it's unique taste and strength. Bare in mind I am the type of guy who appreciates any type...

    Rehydration Experiment

    As long as the moisture gets evenly distributed in the jar within a few days shouldn't have a problem with mold. I sometimes just throw a damp paper towel in and take it out after a day or two. Some parts will be more.moist from contact with the paper towel but in a couple days it evens out and...

    Thinking About Switching to a Safety Razor -Any Advice?

    I use an old gilette I bought at an antique store. Works great. Brand shouldn't matter too much as long as the blade sits evenly and straight. I have also used some really really cheapo razors too and the blade doesn't sit straight or even. super dangerous. I still used them though, Just with...

    Estate Pipe Cracks and Disinfection

    Put a band around the shank and it will keep the crack from getting bigger. It can be as simple as electrical tape as one poster said, or thread, even waxed floss, wire, mini hose clamp. You can do something fancier later if you want but at least do something. This will slow the progression of...

    Are Certain Style Of Pipes Easier To Smoke To The Bottom?

    Well it depends on if the draft hole is drilled exactly at the bottom.of the bowl. Sometimes it is a bit above the bottom of the bowl. Shape of pipe doesn't really matter as much I have found. Also is your tobacco at the bottom kind of soggy? It could also just be tobacco that's too moist or...

    Wasted Tobacco

    Blend them all. And dry doesn't matter as u can rehydrate. I'm sure someone here would pay for the shipping to have some free tobacco(I would, but I'm from Canada so not sure if that works), if you mix it all together is it a sizeable amount?

    Why Is Pipe Smoking Relaxing?

    Of course nicotine, but also the act of controlling breath is meditative, most forms of meditation involve controlling breathing or focusing on breathing.
