    Tobacco Blending Ratios

    This is what I was going to post! I do not know a lot about blending but I got this from a Tobacco Growing forum and put it on my ever growing drive of important information. It could be useful in the future

    When, Where, and Why Do You Smoke?

    I don't smoke my pipe very often maybe once every week or two. For me it largely depends on a lot of things lining up. The weather has to be decent because I usually smoke outside on our swing chair with something nice to drink and a book, while I am doing simple yard work (like picking weeds...

    Flake Packing Force Question

    @hoosierpipeguy Thanks for the tips! I have a couple different flakes in the mail, one of them being the same flake I first tried years ago. I remember not having much trouble with that flake, folding and stuffing, but I also remember that it was not anywhere as dense as this Solani ABF. Cube...

    Can This Be Saved?

    If you are the DIY type, reborn pipes has a lot of documentation on how to fix and restore pipes. When I started restoring pipes I got a ton of good information from that site. I remember there was one article where a similar mishap was being fixed and they glued it with epoxy and banded it...

    Ruined a Perfectly Good Bowl of Tobacco in This Failed Design

    Thanks for pointing this out, I wrote my replay and thought, I must be missing something, and read a reborn pipes article on them. I just assumed they got creative with the airway and the cap was like a hurricane cap with 2 layers like a saucer or something drawing air from the sides. I guess it...

    Ruined a Perfectly Good Bowl of Tobacco in This Failed Design

    Would it help if you drilled small holes in the cap? I cant see any in the picture. If you are into it, It may be a good opportunity to experiment with air flow characteristics, especially if you are fed up with it, then there is nothing to lose. I would try 6 small holes close to the edges...

    Flake Packing Force Question

    I will probably post 1 or 2 more followups after this for anyone else that has the same question in the future. I tried the cube cut method last night, and it worked much better than the fold and stuff method. I probably could have dried the flake after cube cutting another 30 minutes as it...

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2020?***

    Solani ABF, cube cut in a Jeantet superior billard, cube cut. Having a very nice time, cube cut seems to be working much better than fold and stuff for this flake.

    Lighter Recommendations?

    "Trust me, it wont burn you, its an electrical arch, that is just science, see how close you can get your finger" You just leave out the part about how your finger conducts electricity.

    Lighter Recommendations?

    Just curious, which lighter fuel l did you use? I have some older ronson fuel that is stated "Lighter Fuel" which is apparently not for use in fuel lighters that you are going to smoke with and it tastes/smells aweful. I have ordered the Zippo fuel in the black canister to try. I hope it is...

    A Law Is Passed Making Pipe Tobacco Illegal- How Does Your Life Change?

    Not much would change for me, I would start growing it, I don't have much of a stash currently but even if I did, no one would ever know I was smoking it anyway, people keep to themselves here and if they don't care about people breaking the law and putting the public at risk of harm by doing...

    Lighter Recommendations?

    I have one like this as well, but I never use it to light things I am inhaling because I can taste the Ozone from the plasma arch when inhaling. It is also only good at lighting things that easily light and can be put between the posts. These have a place, and that place for me is mostly...

    Flake Packing Force Question

    Well in that case I will pack 2 flakes in there and use the vise to make it fit, light with m.a.p. gas and chug frozen scotch between puffs

    Flake Packing Force Question

    It was too rainy today to experiment but we will see what the week brings. I will update on the next try!

    Flake Packing Force Question

    So bit of a followup. Yesterday I let 1 flake dry for about 3.5 hours until it was crumbly and hard to work with because it would crumble, not quite to dust but close. Folded and dropped it into my pipe and got it going, there was no resistance and the flake pretty much just fell in. I did not...

    Flake Packing Force Question

    I did have to keep tamping the sides into the center, and I did notice that I had a fairly small cherry in the center/off center as opposed to the majority of the top. I am going to try just one flake and see how I make out. This is a good tip, I thought for sure I had packed too loose but based...

    I might try this as well, I saw that method in chasingembers video.
