    Room Note Importance

    I'm a pretty selfish guy, if you aren't family, I usually could care less. But with business in mind, people get offended by any little thing these days, have to be careful. I work a physical job, and I'm in attics and crawlspace often, so I figured the pipe smoke smelled better than the dirt...

    Room Note Importance

    I figure the vast majority will find it unoffensive at the least. I've been in this line of work for 4 years and this is the first time someone has said something negative about the smell. I've had people comment that it smells nice, but they don't know exactly what they are smelling. And I...

    Room Note Importance

    So, I usually smoke outside or in my car. Occasionally when it's really cold, I'll smoke inside by a window. Lucky for me, my wife thinks pretty much all pipe tobacco smells like incense when being smoked, and doesn't have an issue with it. Because of this, I never really put much thought into...

    How Often Do You Rub Out Flakes.

    That Exactly what I do. Then I mush the top up a bit with my thumbnail so it lights up easy.

    How Often Do You Rub Out Flakes.

    They key to fold and stuff is to leave room for the tobacco expand. Less on the bottom, more on the top always works for me.

    Ali Express

    I've used them to order a lighter and some 8deco tampers. The shipping takes a while, but it's been legit so far.

    Kiribi Kabuto - How is Yours Holding Up?

    I've had one for almost 4 years now, no complaints with mine. It holds a ton of butane and is great as long as there is no wind.

    I love how expertly the bamboo blends into the stem. That won it over for me, number 2.

    How Often Do You Rub Out Flakes.

    I predominantly fold and stuff if the flake allows it. C&D "flake" I usually rub out 75% of the way to ribbon. I like to have some chunks in there to slow down the bowl and add some flavor. I love the European flakes, especially Mac Baren flakes. Always perfect and usually one flake = one bowl...
