    Taking out the trash..

    Id clean this crusty ash once the bowl is done. Just take a paper towel or rag and wipe the bowl out. Eventually you will build a nice hard cake rather than one made of half burnt crap. Dont crud up you pipe. Im not sure what your after smoke routine is.

    My Long-Winded Nording Keystone Pipe Filters Review

    Id never heard of that but I looked it up. That would work great. Basically hard clay right? I use my chips homemade or bough until I drop or misplace them.

    Any Love For Non-Bulldog Diamond Shanked Pipes ?

    I need to make a better photo but Im fond of this ser jacopo. I need to smoke it more often. The bowl is a little bigger than my recent smoking but not too big.

    Taking out the trash..

    I used to fiddle with things like that more than I do now. Also I smoke smaller bowls and I smoke indoors. There isnt an ash tray on my computer desk...so I dont bother.

    What are you waiting for?!

    Im waiting to go out of business thanks to you know who.

    Taking out the trash..

    It doesnt keep it from lighting unless you have a huge bowl and then not only. Are you tamping as you go. If you dont feed the fire you cant keep it smoking.

    Trying Different Blends - HU Directors Cut

    They got stupid with DC pricing. I don’t think Im buying more. Ive got a couple pounds.

    Trying Different Blends - HU Directors Cut

    I love DC but I traded away my Nashville Country. Im not saying it was not a good blend but something in it...maybe the topping just kept me from ever reaching for it.

    9mm Charcol Filters vs Meerschaum Throwdown

    Estervals. I guess they were about 8.50 in euros but with tax. Of course the USD has tanked and continues to fall so everything is likely to get more expensive regardless of new taxes.

    9mm Charcol Filters vs Meerschaum Throwdown

    Ive had some blue cap Vauen filters like in the photo. I really didnt care for them. I think they are the older version and the new version is much less restrictive. I found the blue cap filers to be overfilled and made for an annoying draw.

    Trying Different Blends - HU Directors Cut

    Neither...they are really too different to compare. On a desert island one would not replace the other but either would be great. Both would be better :)

    9mm Charcol Filters vs Meerschaum Throwdown

    Funny thing is that 9mm filters are not even 9mm Even the pipe slot for the filter is around 8.4 mm and the filter has to be smaller.

    @PaulRVA turned me on to Petes Deluxe Navy Rolls. Its outstanding, flavorful and very clean tasting.

    9mm Charcol Filters vs Meerschaum Throwdown

    @Brando I have not used that brand but no other brand has measured up to vauen for airflow ease. I gave up experimenting. On sale I usually grab vauen for 9 bucks a hundred. For three bucks difference I dont worry. Hermit crab filters are an ali express cheap china brand. I use stuff from...

    Pfeifen-Shop-Online

    Its not just the customs fee into the US. There is the customs fee plus a processing fee around 30 bucks. I know the normal customs fee from the EU is currently 15 percent but tobacco can very likely be a different number. No one knows the proper rates for imports into the US. That is why my...

    When did you get that price? The dogs have gone ip a lot. It should be around 11 to 12 without the 19 percent vat. Either way its real expensive in the US.

    If they have what you want the US is usually cheaper and you also need to look at currency exchange rates. The past few months the dollar has taken the biggest nose dive since the 70's There are always minor fluctuations but the dollar is heading for a 20 percent loss against other major...

    “New” Brulor, Terrible Taste

    If it was painted black inside its a bowl coating and some of them are terrible tasting for several smokes. I often remove them. Some will come out with a wet paper towel. Some require a little sanding. I make it a point to not smoke mild blend through a new pipe. It spoils New Pipe Day. If...
