    First Attempt - Dismal Failure!

    Your pipe smelling like an ashtray makes a 100% sense. You've burned tobacco in it and created tobacco ashes.

    What Pipe would You Like to have Back? Why?

    I've never heard of fasting during advent, but I'm also a full blooded protestant. Our advent traditions are a countdown to Christmas with a nightly devotional reading.

    What Pipe would You Like to have Back? Why?

    The Ascorti is a sentimental keeper. My mom bought it for me for Christmas a couple of years ago. The pipe on the whole is larger than I normally prefer, but it fits the bill nicely as a Christmas pipe for me. It's dedicated to Christmas aromatic blends and I only smoke it during Advent. It...

I know that hunting birds in the high desert without a dog is a huge task, and I'm not sure where to begin. I do eventually want to...

    Eltang Basic Vs Nording Compass Vs Eltang Poker

    "For me, the rub was the somewhat chunky acrylic bit that is about twice as thick and 1/3 as wide as the bit on the Eltang Pokers." The basic has a very narrow and thick bit. The Eltang Poker has a wide, thin bit. The Compass and Basic are about the same width, but the compass bit is thinner...

    Got my two tins loaded up and ready to go. Should I add a sleeve of saltines to the box?

    Salt or cotton?

    I prefer cotton balls. Less mess. I've noticed zero difference in cotton balls over salt as far as breaking down and softening cake build up. Seems to me the alcohol is doing all the work.
