    Tobacco stuck on the side of the bowl

    If the tobacco isn’t covered over much yet, a wood popsicle stick is great for scraping out the inside of the chamber and you don’t run the risk of cutting away or gouging the briar with a metal blade.

    How Do You Take It?

    I will have it black when first trying beans I’ve roasted to get a sense of unadulterated flavour profile; beyond that with half and half.

    Happy Gilmore 2

    I have a fondness for the original film (it’s one of the few Adam Sandler films I like). I’ve been watching the new one (the end credits are playing right now) and while there were a couple of amusing moments, overall it was too ridiculous for my taste.

    For the smokers who enjoy Lakeland blends they add this:

    Is it Safe?

    Now you have me wondering if there are self-portraits with pipes like Robert Mapplethorpe’s Self Portrait with Whip, from 1978.

    Neighbor Gifted Me Her Grandfather’s Pipes!

    Looking more closely at the catalogue, the stem doesn’t match; the one from the the ’50s is much more slender and curved. The bowl looks right, though. I don’t know how long the model was in production and if went into the ’60s or ’70s. Maybe reach out to Missouri Meerschaum and ask what your...

    Peterson B2 "4th of July" Pipe (2001)

    Neighbor Gifted Me Her Grandfather’s Pipes!

    Well, it doesn’t get more poetic than this, given the circumstances—I believe the Missouri Meerschaum pipe is the “Grandpa A” from the 1950s—I have the “Grandpa B” as seen in my post: Post in thread 'Show off Your Corn Cobs Here!' Show off Your Corn Cobs Here! :: Pipes: Show Us Your (fill in...

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2025?***

    Watching the broadcast of UFC Fight Night: Tatsuro Taira vs. Park Hyun-sung, taking place at the UFC APEX In Las Vegas, Nevada. Having Seattle Pipe Club Hogshead in a Briar, Sweat, and Tears (BST) Tanshell Large Curve (LC) Swan Neck 3/4 Bent Billiard. My Yenidje tobacco plants are doing well...

    What Are You Drinking? August 2025

    $58 Muxaing Billiard

    The field was probably intended to account for filling in 9mm or 6mm filters; instead of listing “None,” the seller probably opted to include the 3mm draft hole measurement because no other field was set up.

    What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025

    Having an Acid Kuba Maduro Robusto, 5.0" x 54, that came from a large CIGARfest bundle from 2018 or 2019. I’ve never been a fan of cigars with flavoured ends, but I figured I may as well smoke it since I paid for it. I’m over at the new property and hear the quintessential sound of summer: cicadas.

    My New Fan Variant by Doug Finlay!

    Well, Fan Variant sounds better than Chublin.

    My New Fan Variant by Doug Finlay!

    @shanez @doug535 I love this pipe. What’s not to love? It’s got interesting lines, nice Birdseye, cool sandblast showing off crisp grain, and a relatively large chamber. Many of you know I have a penchant for Fan pipes. The little pinch between the chamber and stem is a great visual—it helps...

    High Nicotine Pipe Tobacco Recommendations

    I was going to recommend Mapacho. If you buy a log, bear in mind that it is very moist and needs to be dried before you jar it, otherwise you’ll get mold very quickly.

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2025?***

    Watching the broadcast of UFC on ABC: Robert Whittaker vs. Reinier de Ridder, taking place at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

    Bulldog vs Rhodesian

    Once edges start getting rounded, lines get blurred, figuratively and literally; if you eliminate the hard, sharp angles of an older, traditional Bulldog, the pipe can end up morphing into something else, and eventually can take us into nitpicking territory. At some point it might be considered...

    Old Pipes vs. New Pipes

    Dolly finishing Les’ Wood just doesn’t sound right.

    Bulldog vs Rhodesian

    I disagree. The Savinelli 514 is a Bulldog. I have versions with and without bead lines. Are the ones without bead lines no longer 514 pipes?
