    Why Does Burley Taste Better in a Cob?

    I totally agree with statement. Cobs do wonders for burley, whether the classic codgers, perique, or some delicious dark-fired. The briars always seem to sour my burley smokes before I'm even half way through. No idea why, but I'm right there with ya man

    What Do Pipe Smokers Do For A Living?

    @ drennan: You have my dream job! I originally aimed to go into fisheries biology. I'm an avid fly fisher and would love to fish France's waters! But alas, kids kept coming and I needed to pay bills and just sorta fell into my line of work. Don't get me wrong, I love my job, but it can't...

    What Do Pipe Smokers Do For A Living?

    What do you folks do for a living? And can you/do you smoke at work? I'm in my 2nd year now starting out as a mechanic at a Volkswagen/Subaru dealership. It's a bit too dirty and flammable a job to smoke on the clock (plus customers probably don't want their 2015 VW passats smelling like GL...

    Recommended tools for stem cleaning/maintenance?

    So I find that my pipes' stems are becoming more and more oxidized and tasting foul. Apparently polishing them here and there with my shirt isn't working anymore. What tools and/or products do I need to get my stems back in shape(black and shiny)? I'm not worried so much about cosmetics, just...

    This & That In My "Dottle" Bowl

    Salad bowl? Whatever happened to the trusty old Persian slipper on the mantle?!

    Help Me Understand Perique

    <p>I enjoy the taste of perique but it makes my throat feel likes its closing up very shortly after starting a bowl and I can never finish. Anyone else have that issue? Wonder if I'm allergic or something...

    LL Bean Tobacco

    Haha! That stuff looks pretty awesome. So are you gonna smoke it? It's funny, I work at a Subaru/Volkswagen dealership where I work on the old l.l. bean special edition outbacks all the time. That bean fella's got his hands on everything! So did anyone notice the ridiculous math mistake on...

    Have you seen me? Do you live in "tobacco country"?

    Whoa... I lived in KY for a bit last year and am now in VA (originally from FL). I keep seeing similar rope in grocery stores and the like marketed as plug chewing tobacco; mainly under the brand "mammoth cave". Is that pretty much the same stuff? Haven't tried any yet but I will now! In fact, I...

    Florida Smokers Roll Call

    Titusville here... I'd be down for Orlando meetings. I tried about 6-7 months ago, but no one on here seemed to be central FL except like two others.

    I Know We Have A Few Fellow Musicians Here

    I play guitar, banjo, mandolin, bass,and piano. Sing and write as well. No recordings though yet. Everytime I think I'm gonna invest in a decent home studio, I find another instrument to learn how to play... and there go my savings. :roll:

    Sweet, thanks guys!

    Jobey Tenon is Turning Freely?

    Thanks, modernchicago! So from what I understand, from you and a few other searches about it... my pipe is fine? The tenon is supposed to turn around freely in the stem (not glued or anything) and the the shank has the tenon screwed into it. Am I understanding this correctly? Also (assuming I...

    Tamps? What makes one better?

    Everything said above is great, but most importantly it is the hand behind the tamper that determines how well it works. Other than that, I'd say it is just a good weight balance and a material that ashes won't stick to too readily. :puffy:
