Loading Hours Or The Day Before
I’ve never intentionally done this. I do open up tins and let them ‘decant’ for at least a week or so before lighting up, but I suppose that’s a different thing altogether. My days are somewhat unpredictable with 2 kids aged 5 and under so knowing how many pipes I’ll smoke the next day is an...- LeafErikson

***What Are You Smoking, April 2025?***
Well done choosing an awesome pipe. Thanks in regards to the Tekin. I just got lucky with the meerschaum and it’s been smoked quite a bit, at least by my standards. When I first got that Tekin it weighed around 45g and it now weighs closer to 60 with all of the tar and things it has absorbed...- LeafErikson

What Was Peterson’s Bowl Coating Circa 2020
Here’s the body of an email I sent to smokingpipes after purchasing a Peterson pipe in 2020: “Hope you had a jolly holiday season and a pleasant new year. I recently purchased my first Peterson pipe (Aran 15) from you and unfortunately (through no fault of your own) had astoundingly unenjoyable...- LeafErikson

Affordable Meerschaum
It depends on the day and the blend. I generally prefer to just pack a fresh bowl if it’s been sitting in the bowl for a full day, but within the same day I’ll usually fire it back up. Some blends lend themselves better to being set aside than others.- LeafErikson

I’m right there with you. It’s one of my absolute favorite pipe shapes. It’s between the 626 bent apple or the 207 straight apple from Savinelli.- LeafErikson

Why Did you Start Smoking a Pipe, and Why Do You Still?
When my first kid was born, I wanted to switch from cigarettes to a ‘safer’ form of tobacco use. I did some research and It was either cigars or pipes, and cigars were much more expensive. My wife got me my first pipe, a Missouri Meerschaum emerald, in 2020 for Father’s Day and I haven’t really...- LeafErikson

What Is The Origin Of The James Upshall Name?
I recently bought a Tilshead (Upshall Second) from @ssjones so I actually just read about the origin of the name. I dug a bit into the Ken Barnes files that you posted as well. They took forever to open on my country-ass satellite internet. :) Unfortunately, someone already beat me to the...- LeafErikson
