    When Building Cake

    So do you just wipe it clean?

    When Building Cake

    I just sent a DM. Frustrated

    When Building Cake

    Do you all recommend the 1/4 bowl, 1/2 bowl, 3/4 bowl method? Or do you subscribe to fill it up and smoke it? My current thing is half-3/4 full bowl. -> thumb over the top -> shake the ash around the bowl. -> gentle wipe out with a pipe cleaner to dry and get loose pieces, not to wipe off the...

    So what’s your line of thought? Just keep doing the harder wiping or leave it as is? I’m mostly confused because I’ve not ever built a cake yet, I just swap around pipes too much, but I’m looking to make these daily smokers that I can take to work, so I’m worried about longevity

    My Epiphany About the Importance of Packing

    That’s where I’m at. The obsession phase. I’ve already got a bigger collection than anyone really could ever smoke. And I love the feeling and the family heritage and history of it.

    So what I’ve done on these is gone from wiping really hard with the paper towel to just softly wiping, so that’s what I should be expecting to see after 2-4 smokes?

    My Epiphany About the Importance of Packing

    Same, cigarette guy, and got into pipes from watching old Sherlock movies. It took me a long time to realize why my pipes were getting so hot. All those big clouds were for the cameras and real pipe smoking is much wispier if done properly. — every time I smoked my bowl was piping hot until I...

    My Epiphany About the Importance of Packing

    Okay, but how slow are you puffing? Once every 5 minutes? I’ve only been at serious pipe smoking about 6 months or so and I’ve only ever had one bowl last me an hour and it was a 2023 pipe of the year from Peterson. Even some of the bigger bowls like a Peterson Watson will only get me half an...

    I was hoping a lot of old timers would come in here and tell me I’m worried about nothing so I could relax about it lol.

    I think at first I was inadvertently stopping cake buildup on my other pipes because I was cleaning the bowls too hard with a paper towel and wiping it off before it could start, so the look of this is just new to me.

    I’ve recently fallen in love with the moonshine shapes, especially the devil dog. Still new to learning how to break in a pipe properly… I noticed the bowl coat from moonshine was rather loose and it wiped out by the tins when the pipe first arrived…this is now after 3 smokes after that bowl...

    Kiribi Lighter isssue?

    Are the flint tubes always loose on them? I have a kabuto and a SP 25th anniversary edition, and when I shake them the flint tube audibly rattles. I also have a Peterson built in the old boy style and that flint tube is loose-ish as well. Is that just part of the design?

    How Hard is it to Burnout a Pipe?

    Good call. You’re right. I may as well enjoy them because no one else is going to except perhaps my future children. And by then? They’ll have digital pipes they can smoke anyway or something.

    How Hard is it to Burnout a Pipe?

    That’s nuts. I’ve had one smoke in almost a year that’s lasted an hour. It was a 2023 POTY from Peterson.
