    Current Pipe Mixing - Tips and Tricks from the Veterans

    Some time ago I wrote about how difficult it was to get SC Balkan Flake to burn. I don't remember if I ever told you how I solved the problem, so.... First let it dry out good, then rub it our to small bits. Now fill your pipe 2/3 full with the BF and top if off with another English blend of...

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2025?***

    Ok, so right now I'm smoking a mixture of the small remainders from 4 different English blend samples given to me by a friend. None of them were anything special so I put them together to see what would happen. Now I know that 4 so-so blends together make up one larger so-so blend. puffy

    Buying a Whole Cellar From a Neighbor?

    If you want it definately offer to buy the "whole" thing. If you cherry pick it the seller might all of a sudden decide the ones you want are precious and offer to sell only the others. Don't point out the best ones and give as little info as you can. Good luck. puffy

    Cleaning Out an Estate Kirsten Bowl

    I doubt it will make much difference what you do. If you're like me the smoke will still taste like aluminum. Yuk! puffy

    Overturned meerschaum screwed-in stem

    Sounds like an easy fix... You need to make a spacer that slips over the tenon so it won't screw in so far. I've used sticky tape for several. (the sticky side goes toward the stem). puffy

    Costco Three Pound Steel Can 100% Columbian Arabica Coffee

    I've been drinking this coffee for some time now. I use a Ninja coffee maker and find that 6 of it's scoops makes 4 cups of pretty good coffee... as good as Starbuck's or other higher priced brands. puffy

    Sandblast vs Smooth - and the questionable art of partial blasting...

    I'm glad I like textured pipes the best. Either blasted or carved (like a Searock) they're both fine for me. Why? No constant polishing and buffing, they don't show wear and little nicks like smooths and as they get older they get more "character", they are easier to grip so you don't drop...

    I Hope You Hate Deoxidizing Vulcanite Stems As Much As I Do

    I've got Castellos that I've had for over 60 years. The only thing I've ever done to the stems is give them a little, quick wipe around the mouth piece once in a while and they still look like new. I'll take Lucite every time. puffy

    Things I Found Thrifting

    The 4th of July is a killer of garage sales. I checked the internet for sales on Saturday and there was only one listed in a 10 mile radius and it didn't look good.... I stayed home! :( 🇱🇷

    Introducing Friends to Pipe Smoking

    We had company last night from a young couple we had not met before, and my wife mentioned that I was a pipe smoker. They found this interesting (amazingly) and said they had never met a pipe smoker before and started asking questions. After a while I invited them to my smoking room to take a...
