    Second Half of the Bowl...

    Took me a few years to learn that this is usually the case. Do a little experiment and when the bowl goes bad and you are fighting the tobacco and simply getting frustrated, dump the bowl and call it quits and look at the tobacco on the bottom and the moisture in the bowl. It is probably wet...

    Ennerdale Flake

    If you search this site you will find a very similar post from me a few years ago. In fact I posted many anti-Lakeland posts. I even gave my stash to the Captain here. Now I love the stuff. Tastes change.

    Losing Interest IN Cubans

    This is definitely true for me. In fact, I have been giving some Cuban cigars from the humidor as gifts lately. I enjoy not being "on the chase" anymore with either cigars for pipe tobacco. I am more confident in what I like and that is a good place to be.

    Ennerdale Plug

    Yes, it is definitely a real entity. Or at least it was. I know of at least two guys who have smoked it in years past. I did a fair amount of sloothing for it in 2016, but couldn't find any leads, even in Europe. I gave up the chase...

    The plug version of Ennerdale is a modern unicorn. I chased it for a while and eventually gave up trying to find it. Ymmv

    Pipe Filter Question

    Filters are not a mystery, but you wouldn't know that by reading internet comments. Go to SPC and buy one each of a charcoal type and a balsa wood type in 9mm. Smoke and take mental notes. See which type you like better and then stock up. Change the filter after every 2 bowls imho (but some...

    MORTA, and Why You are Missing Out

    I have one remaining Morta pipe. I like it and it will stay in the collection. I had two, but gave the other one away. I think they are worth it overall and probably good to have one in rotation, but I won't be buying or chasing Morta going forward.
