    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2023?***

    Show off Your Corn Cobs Here!

    I was recently trying to decide whether or not I considered this non-toxic enough for that very purpose. The MSDS calls it non-hazardous so it should be fine.. thanks for reminding me, going to give it a shot soon.

    Sandblasted pipe taste different?

    Looks like we may have the first documented case of going back from black.

    Filters and/or Adapters...or Not?

    Besides bearing some possible health benefits, one wonders if the filter industry isn't the result of a couple modern generations of us fatherless(tradition wise) wretches having to teach ourselves to smoke later in life instead of smoothly transitioning into it under the watchful eye of an...

    Filters and/or Adapters...or Not?

    I definitely pull them out to dry, seems like it's not great for the briar otherwise. I get 2 smokes out of the charcoal ones, sometimes. Usually I just toss it though, especially if I've been driving or something involving a lot of clenching. However, The White Elephant meerschaum 6 mils and...

    Clench Drool

    Big time, it's happening right now. It's another entire struggle to focus on, keeps me busy. But I only came over here because I thought you were trying to steal my new screen name.

    Low Acid Coffee Help

    This is what I was going to say. I not only get bad acid but also bouts of gastritis, don't recommend it. I have to quit coffee frequently and this is the method that keeps me in the game. That and a lot of oat milk... shutup. .

    Finally Understanding Some Women.

    Meh, people are nuts, the whole world is a fart factory, and worrying about strange women online is the best way to waste what's left of your mind after 30.

    Quick Sunday Morning Cob Mod.

    I think this was a "Let Freedom Ring" Missouri Meerschaum model. Generally I prefer pipes in the 5 to 5.75" range and this one sitting at just over six was bothering me. Chopped around 3/4 of an inch and set the filter back about a 1/4. I wish they made a shorter Danish bit. I'd like to do...

    Shooters and Hunters: What's Your Best Ever Distance / Accuracy Personal Record?

    Haven't done a whole hell of a lot of distance shooting but one time when I was packing up I nailed my 6" steel at 100yds first try with my .40 cal Beretta. Second through tenth tries were not quite as spectacular. I seem to do better in general when I don't think too much.

    Conventional Wisdom

    I'm tempted to be funny but I think it's best to take it all into account. It's all based on someone's experience, and they were there first. Most of the time and perhaps unfortunately, you have to be your own authority. Adulthood seems like it might be the pursuit of parsing bullshit from...

    Filters and/or Adapters...or Not?

    I'm sort of coming out the other side of this conundrum. It seems like more proficient smokers kind of just drive their pipes with the pack and tamping. You don't add or subtract anything to a different hammer, you just adjust your swing. Maybe.

    Lacking in the packing?

    Thank you, I'll be hence forth chasing this paradigm. Not that I'm trying to seem nonchalant or anything...

    Fall Pipe Smoking is the Best

    Fall is the best of everything. I hate the summer and this time of year I feel like I start to come alive and get a little excited for the plain old knowing-exactly-what-to-do-next of winter.

    Lacking in the packing?

    Thanks guys, been packing a lot lighter since yesterday morning and it does seem to be helping. I also realized, as Sardonicus said, that I'm probably almost never ashing out my bowl. Don't know why but I kind of thought you weren't supposed to. Bit of a head slapper, that... I'm also in a...
