    Anyone from or living in the Kansai Japan area? Maybe even just visiting?

    Sure, why not. I'll send you an email tonight. I'm about to make some dinner. I've been enjoying a nice quiet day, probably spending too much time on YouTube, though, and definitely smoking too much.

    What's your favorite aromatic?

    I like Autumn Evening. Smells and tastes like I'm smoking a stack of pancakes, and I assume it's all natural since it says topped with natural maple. I'm about to order sixteen ounces from the US. Takes about ten days to reach me here in Japan, but I'm open to trying some new things. Let me...

    Anyone from or living in the Kansai Japan area? Maybe even just visiting?

    Would love to do a get-together and smoke some pipes. I'm over here in Nara, but it's a pretty short hop over to Osaka, or even to Kyoto isn't too bad.

    Does Anyone Else do This?

    This gave me a good laugh, and my girlfriend, too. She's obsessed with naval lint, although doesn't collect it as for as I know. About saving dottle, it's not for re-smoking. Seems a lot of folks thought that's what I meant. I noticed when I smoke a bowl too far down, and end up smoking the...

    Does Anyone Else do This?

    I have a big glass jar, a nice thing with rips running up the sides. It narrows on the bottom and becomes somewhat bulbus at the top with a glass lid and a knob at the top. But inside I have, filled to the brim, dottle which I've been collecting. I'll post a picture sometime to show you exactly...

    What Happens When You Put the Pipe Down?

    I haven't had a puff in four days. Day two, I felt a bit tired, but not too bad. Day three, less tired. Day four, I feel energetic, though I'm still putting the pipe in my mouth a bit for the sake of habit. I really enjoy smoking my pipes. Every once in a while, maybe every six months or so, I...

    Do different pipe shapes work well, or not so well, with different tobaccos?

    I have six pipes, and so far, my choices have been purely for aesthetic reasons when choosing shapes, but I was wondering, do different bowl types lend themselves to better experiences based on certain types of tobaccos? For instance, what might a short wide bowl be good for vs a tall bowl? I...

    How long to clay and corn cobs last?

    Being late to the pipe smoking scene, I happen to already be familiar with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I'm pretty good at babying things. I might have better luck. So, regarding clay pipes, how do you clean them? Any special considerations?

    How long to clay and corn cobs last?

    Any tips of thoughts on that?

    How long to clay and corn cobs last?

    Excellent. I need to get some cobs. As a newer pipe smoker, I've felt they're the "all American" choice for pipes.

    How long to clay and corn cobs last?

    Thinking about getting some of these, but I'm not the "disposable" type, so I was wondering how long, if treated well, do these pipes last? Can they last a long time? What would you say is a good way to store a clay pipe to keep it from cracking? Thanks.

    Newbie question here, but do Meers retain value?

    Pretty much what the title says. I'm wondering if meerschaum pipes, if well cared for, hold their value? I'm thinking on buying a $300-400 eagle claw meerschaum that I can call my "flagship" of pipes, so to speak and I'm looking for justifications to help rationalize the purchase. I'm a man who...

    Meerschaum Coloring with Spots?

    A lot of good responses here. I did a bit of research before I got this pipe and was expecting a non uniform coloring, I was just surprised with this dark spot. I'm not worried about it. I'm enjoying the pipe quite a bit, just don't like that the shank "screws" in.

    Meerschaum Coloring with Spots?

    When I got it it was pearly white, and I didn't put any external heat on it. None that I can see. Not really, because it gets hot fast. I have to hold this one from the stem. I've smoked it probably ten times now? The picture is a bit deceptive. There is definitely some off-white yellowing of...

    Meerschaum Coloring with Spots?

    Just saw this was in the Tobacco discussion thread, so moved it here. Is it normal for spots like this to appear? It started out as a translucent spot that started coloring fast, and now there's even a drip stain. I can only guess and say there's a fault in the meerschaum and that area is...
