    Do you use pipe screens. Why or why not?

    I've bought a couple of pipe screens, and use them in a few pipes. I use them in all my corncob pipes and a couple others, all the pipes that seem to have a problem with tobacco getting sucked into the shank and blocking the draw. It also helps me to create an artificial air pocket at the bottom...

    Welcome New Members. Introduce Yourself. (2)

    I'm with you guys. I don't smoke that often, but I just bought 9 different tins "for future consumption," and I already have like 10 open. I really do enjoy a variety when I smoke, so I usually start with a lighter tobacco and move into English or Balkan blends toward the end. I buy certain...

    How long is a bowl?

    Wow. I thought I might be smoking too fast. I also do run across tongue bite a lot. I also happen to think I have small bowls, as nothing I have appears particularly larger than a Dr. Grabow or similar. Is it normal to relight...a lot? Cuz I can re-light a lot of times in one bowl. It seems to...

    Lord of the Rings

    Yes, the LoTR played a huge part in a whole bunch of facets of my life. And yeah, it also inspired me not only to write, but also to smoke, when I was old enough. Up until last year, I'd re-read the LoTR every year. Now that I'm enjoying smoking more than I had before, I think I might just get...

    How long is a bowl?

    Hello All- I actually have two questions: 1) How long is one "bowl" of tobacco supposed to last? Is it 15 mins or an hour? and 2) How long do you smoke for when you smoke? I'd like to know in both bowls and time. For example, I find one bowl lasts only a few minutes- maybe 20 or so. So if I...

    My First PADs

    I've also become a huge fan of Design Berlin (9mm filtered) pipes- will post those pics another time too... @bubbadreier: I got these two through Smokingpipes.com, and I've also found them at: www.pipesandcigars.com www.iwanries.com/vauen-C1856.cfm www.cupojoes.com/ and a whole wide range of...

    My First PADs

    Yeah, well I do have some: 1) It does sometimes make for a cooler drier smoke, which I prefer. 2) it does cut down (or seems to) on nicotine, which might be good. I also use some Savinelli pipes that use the Balsa wood "filter" system, and they do cut down on some of the moisture, but I don't...

    My First PADs

    Hello all! I've been suffering from PAD (Pipe Acquisition Disorder) since joining, so I thought I'd share the pain. Since you seem to like pics, I thought I'd share a couple. I have a very small collection, but its been expanding a LOT this year. My last two new pipe purchases (more pics of the...

    Pipe Lighter Pros, Cons, Recommendations

    I can't thank all of you enough for this thread! I've been having nothing but trouble with the lighters I do have. I've had issues with the fuel from Zippos (or other lighter-fluid based lighters) getting into my tobacco, so I think they're not an option for me. On the other hand, cheap...

    PAD Purchases

    My own contribution to the PAD thread is this lovely Acorn/pickaxe from German Maker Vauen. Its the Vauen Vesuv line, and while a little out of my usual price range, it was so unique and attractive (to me) that I had to get it. I took a bunch of pics, but this is the quick and easy way to get a...

    August 2010 - What are you smoking?

    I just rec'd a tin on the new Villiger 1888 Late Niight blend, and it is really wonderful. Its a lot lighter than most blends, and doesn't have Latakia. Its probably semi-aromatic, but I don't know for sure- I just know its a wonderful blend with a nice mix of Virginia and Black Cavendish, with...

    non alcoholic beverages

    I've found that various sparkling/mineral waters go well with most tobacco. I find the effervescence/carbonation pops on my tongue, keeping my taste buds awake. I prefer San Pellegrino, especially with cigars, and at a $1 or so a liter, its not too expensive. In a pinch, I just use club soda...

    Introducing Pipe Pictures Magazine

    Wow- thanks for the link. Those pipes were lovely, and gave me some ideas of my own. (I'm thinking of carving my own pipe.)

    Welcome New Members. Introduce Yourself. (2)

    Welcome, imperator! I, myself, am quite jealous, as I have found far too many pipe tobaccos that I don't like. You're just lucky! But I envy you the great smoking experiences you will have... have fun!
