    Beginner

    I agree with what has been posted above. Smoking to fast/hot is a possible issue. For me, I also get a much better smoking experience if the pipe is not over packed. If you are using the three layer method, I would suggest modifying it to a 2 layer, or even a 1.5 layer method. Maybe even try...

    Just Watched Father the Flame - Any other Documentary Recommendations?

    Warren - True. I guess I should have been more specific. Maybe "main stream" would have been a better choice of words. Given the current anti-tobacco movement, my guess is finding any main stream funding source would be a challenge for anything that promoted or "glorified" tobacco.

    US Customs and FDA are Attacking Pipe Smokers

    A couple questions: Why did you not place your order from a domestic supplier? My guess is, the price was lower? Did you still save money? If so, why "Never Again"? Why should you/we be exempt from paying the same import taxes that SP or other suppliers have to pay? There is a real easy...

    Members Online vs Lurking

    I often lurk as a visitor and only log in if I am posting something. However, with the new forum I no longer have to log in every day, whereas on the old one I had to log back in every day.

    So Who Here Likes Bourbon

    Me Like bourbon. Love Blanton's but it is hard to get here (and is expensive). I usually have Woodford's Reserve or Knob Creek on hand. Not necessarily my favorites but affordable and readily available. I like Four Roses, but not sure it's worth the price jump. There are several listed in...

    How to Clean Silver Bands

    Not so much for addressing a tarnished ring, but more of a way to prevent the tarnish buildup to begin with -- buff with a paper towel after each smoke will go a long ways to keeping it looking nice

    Just Watched Father the Flame - Any other Documentary Recommendations?

    There may be some old ones out there, but my guess is just about any "modern" production is going to be about the evil's of tobacco. There is a reason that Father of the Flame needed private funding to be produced.

    Lighter That Works In High Altitudes

    Thank you all. It is sounding like a bic or zippo are my best bet

    Lighter That Works In High Altitudes

    I am not positive a bic will work, but I think they will due to the fairly good spark they generate. I suppose I could just use a match to light my pipe lighter. :ROFLMAO:

    Lighter That Works In High Altitudes

    True. However, it is a skill I have not mastered. i go through an ungodly amount of matches and end up with black, scorched thumb and fingers. Right now I am leaning towards bringing the zippo and trying to pick up a can of fuel in town before heading up the mountain, or picking up a bic...

    Lighter That Works In High Altitudes

    A couple times a year I end up in the mountains for a period of time. Generally at an altitude of 10,000 feet or so. Of course, I take my pipe with me. The problem is, none of my butane pipe lighters work at that altitude. My pipe lighters are cheap lighters, so that may be part of the...

    Unpopular Opinion - I Dont Like 1-Q

    Put it aside for a while and come back to it. My hunch is that as you improve and develop your technique you will find the flavor profile will change. Smoked too fast/hot, 1-q can be a hot steamy mess that does not taste good at all. Packed properly and smoked cool, it can be an enjoyable...

    My Ongoing Penzance Project

    I dug back in the cabinet and pulled out my jar of Shepherd's Pie last night where it has been resting undisturbed for about a year now. Filled my Royal Comoy and headed to the back porch. My decision/opportunity to light up was a last-minute thing, so the tobacco had no drying before loading...

    Ever Had A Blend Be Too Strong?

    Not really a case of tobacco being too strong, but a case of over-doing it. The first time using flake tobacco (Capstan Blue), I took 2 and 1/2 flakes, but them in a big pot pipe, poured a drink and headed to the back deck. About 3.5 hours later I finally put the pipe to bed, and headed to bed...

    What Is Your Typical Weekend?

    Saturday is usually either yard work/project day or family outing. Sunday - church and family time. If I'm not too tired, I usually get a late night smoke in on Friday night or Saturday night
