    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2022?***

    Did a mix of Sutliff 1M and Vanilla Custard in my Savinelli 2101 KS dry system. This pipe has been bored out a little due to some heat damage but boy does it smoke great. Also enjoying a glass of Wild Turkey 101, not my favorite bourbon but it works.

    Stepping Outside of Aromatics

    I only know 1 pipe smoker in my area and he was the one to steer me towards aros. Im sure my tounge and pride could have been saved a bit had i had some different advice. Live and learn i suppose.

    First Pipe, Briar Or Cob?

    I bought a cheap Grabow as my first pipe and after a month bought a mm cob. I enjoyed smoking my cob and didnt particularly care if i ruined it while i learned how to smoke just because of how cheap it was. Once i was able to find my cadence got a little better i went back to using my Grabow.

    Stepping Outside of Aromatics

    I have to agree. For me i was told to start with aros. It took a solid month to get where i wouldnt get tounge bite and could enjoy the smoke. I currently have a few wet aros including 1Q and Sutliff Vanilla Custard, that one being the goopiest. I have let all of the air out and dry and they...

    I put the bag into a bowl and let it sit for a few days, tossing occasionally. Its nowhere near as moist but i may let it dry out some more.

    When i read Chasing's reply it didnt click and i thought it was a typo. I read that article and then this comment and now it makes sense.

    Thanks. Always value your input. I figured virginias would be a good place then English blends. I know this is a personal journey and everyone has different tastes. I will probably play around with my cart this week before i make my final purchase.

    Stepping Outside of Aromatics

    I started off smoking a pipe several months ago. I took it slow at first and started with a Dr. Grabow and a bag of Super Value Rum pipe tobacco. Gotta say that tobacco was horrid and i didnt much care for it. I have found the aromatics that i enjoy smoking but my curious and adventurous mind is...

    Good Score?

    Recently got this GBD 508 on a estate sale. Got it for $18.75. From what i can tell the pipe was only smoked a handful of times and the stem has very little signs of bite marks. It however does appear to have been dropped as it has a few scratches and the rim has a very minor nick. Overall im...
