Show Us Your Smoke Rings
Perhaps this is the new duckface? I want to learn to blow smoke rings. I have tried a few times and no rings only puffs of smoke.- elnoblecigarro

Smoking with Your Eyes Closed...
I like to watch the smoke. It's best when there is no wind and I can look at it swirling in the air. Definitely adds to the experience. I've never tried it eyes closed...- elnoblecigarro

Storage Jars
I'm no expert, but: I have basic screw lid and bail lid glass jars and they seem to work just fine for my needs. (They don't have this extra lid that ball jars and mason jars have). I have some tobaccos in them that are four years old and still moist. Depends on the jar though, there are...- elnoblecigarro

***What Are You Smoking, November 2020?***
Enjoyed Gawith & Hoggarth Red. It has a wonderful fragrant and flowery taste. Fits nicely on summer evenings, although it was good now too. Too bad I only have one jar of it. I have to save the rest for the next summer.- elnoblecigarro

***What Are You Smoking, October 2020?***
I enjoyed a bowl of Swedish classic: Greve Hamiltons blandning. I really like this one. Nice natural tobacco flavor and good amount of nicotine. Weather was good too, great autumn day.- elnoblecigarro

Strong Tobacco is Most Value for Money Pipe Tobacco
A blend needs to have good taste and enough nicotine to feel like I'm smoking a pipe. But if you only smoke pipe for nicotine and not for flavor there are far more efficient delivery methods than pipe smoking (assuming you don't inhale that is). For me taste comes first and nicotine second, but...- elnoblecigarro

Making Homemade Snuff
I'm not in USA. I live in Finland. They banned online tobacco sales here at the end of 2016 if I remember correctly. It's Finnish government and EU being antitobacco. So I can't order any type of tobacco anymore.- elnoblecigarro

Making Homemade Snuff
I was thinking just using an electric coffee grinder and then using mortar and pestle to finish it. Using sometype of sieve is a good idea but I think that when using the snuff and putting it on my hand I could spot the bigger particles atleast. I think a bigger risk to respiratory tract would...- elnoblecigarro

Making Homemade Snuff
I will check that out. I did glance at some recipes but they seemed awfully complicated. Do you have personal experience at making your own? Any tips or what to avoid? Opinions seem to differ whether to add something alkaline in the mix or not. Some say it makes the nicotine much more potent and...- elnoblecigarro

Why Do You Think PM IS The Number ONE Pipe Site ON The Web?
I'm a new member here and what drew me to this site was the active discussion going on here and friendly atmosphere. Being the first site in Google results certainly helps. I like that people here can disagree without profanities and insults. The lack of downvoting function also prevents this...- elnoblecigarro

Making Homemade Snuff
I may actually turn few Macbaren blends that bite me into snuff. To give me some tobacco satisfaction for the winter. I'm still wondering if the tobacco should be more alkaline and I should add sodium carbonate? Guess I'll just have to try it...- elnoblecigarro

Making Homemade Snuff
Hello, Does anyone here have experience making their own nasal snuff? I have few packets of SG snuff left, but I was thinking of making my own too. I have collected cigar clippings in ziplock bag for later use (I was thinking about smoking them in pipe, but now I'm thinking I would like to...- elnoblecigarro

How Many Bowls Do You Smoke?
How is that possible? Do you not sleep? For me no more than once per day. I'll smoke on those days the weather and schedule allows it. Sometimes it's seven days per week and during the winter it's zero. Usually something in between.- elnoblecigarro

What Turned You on to Pipes?
I tried cigars and found out I really liked the taste of tobacco. I liked it the moment I first tasted it so it's not an acquired taste for me. Same with tea and coffee, I liked them instantly. I wanted to smoke more often and pipe came into my mind as a more practical way to enjoy tobacco...- elnoblecigarro

Put Your Theoretical Science Hats on Please
I have only been bitten by two blends so far (in four years of smoking). Both Macbaren blends. Macbaren's Harmony/Symphony hurts my tongue even though the pipe isn't even warm. I read that Macbaren uses honey in some of their blends so perhaps this could be the reason? Or perhaps they use some...- elnoblecigarro

New Smoker Issues
I would also like to give you a tip to keep it lit: if it's on the edge of going out put one or two fingers on top of your bowl and puff gently a few times. This is often enough to keep it going. And as everyone said pack light. I packed two tight for two years when I started without even...- elnoblecigarro

***What Are You Smoking, October 2020?***
Dunhill Nightcap. Has been sitting in a glass jar for about four years. Very nice still. Campfire taste has lessened and it's sweeter now,- elnoblecigarro

Corn Cobs
That's like saying "what's the point of exercising at all if you have to sit in the office 8 hours a day anyway. May as well just sit at home too." Obviously it's impossible to avoid every plastic these days. But when I can help it, I try to avoid it. You can do what you want, but I don't want...- elnoblecigarro

Corn Cobs
How much of toxic compounds are released once the product is in its solid form? If it isn't accumulative and doesn't bind to anything I wouldn't be very concerned. Liver and kidneys are used to dealing with toxic substances. Carcinogens are not my main concern (since almost anything can be...- elnoblecigarro
