    Toothpicks

    So i pick up one of my jars. I was feeling particular for this blend I have not touched in a while. The tobacco is not dry, on the contrary, but I keep finding some twigs in it. Sort of like very dried tobacco as hard as tooth picks. I don't like them in my pipe, I just throw them away but I...

    Interesting way to review pipe tobacco

    This tobacco was good so good, that it reminded me of a time long ago.... Place, Vietnam. The Year is 1965. The Month, June. Day: The 7th; AKA Day 282 in 'Nam for me. June was the rainy season for 'Nam. I had been given some leave time from my base in Saigon and so I went to explore the City...

    Cobs do not ghost

    So, I have opened this can of Dunhill Elizabetan mixture, and I grab by mistake a cob that I only smoke aromatics in. I only figured it out by the time i packed the bowl, so I guess I was too lazy to empty it and pick another pipe ... cobs don't ghost anyway, right? Now, this is the first time I...

    Jammed stems

    Hey guys, I recently bought a vintage St Claude straight billiard, very nice looking and smoking pipe, but for some reason I have problems cleaning it. What is mean is this: the outside of the bowl is of some sort of blueish plastic (or so it seems) material, and the inside is briar. The end of...

    Cob Stems

    Hey guys, as per an older thread, I have been playing around with cobs recently and started to enjoy them more and more. I have one tiny issue with them though: non of the MM cobs that I can find in my area have acrylic stems. They all come with a cheap looking yellowish plastic stem, that looks...

    Show me your ash

    So i was sitting in my kitchen late last night, thinking about past events, and I remembered this cigar shop off of Congress ave. in Austin TX well over 10 years ago and their contest titled "Show me your ash". Basically smokers sent in pictures with their cigars and the ash, and the sort of...

    Non Briar Pipes

    Hey guys, so I am browsing the internet for some new pipes and I keep getting across some very nice looking pipes, wooden pipes, but not briar pipes. Some of them are made out of pear tree wood, or some other less known woods. Have any of you had experience with such pipes? I mean, they are...

    Dry Tobacco

    So I am opening an already open tin of aromatics, and it was very dry I could hardly pack it. It smoked fine, no bite, but it burnt in the pipe rather quickly and it had a funny taste. Maybe a few bowls left, but the ribbon cut was so dehydrated that it turned into bits and pieces. I threw it...

    Holiday Party Smoking

    Since Christmas every year, besides the classic symbolism and the religious connotation, is about family and guests one would imagine that pipe smoking goes along fine with food and drinks. I think most members here would agree, but my question is an acceptable pace for you guys? I mean, come...

    Corn Cob Pipe

    After my recent experience and experiments I have decided to pull out my better briars out of the aromatic business. Therefore I have decided to experiment with corn cob pipes for aromatics. I remember reading somewhere that many people prefer them for aromatics, as they smoke cool and preserve...

    Ashton Tobacco

    Hey guys, my small town tobacco shop has recently added Ashton to their product list. Have any of you had any experience with this brand? Can you recommend? I have tried 'Winding Road', not bad, but not the best I have tasted as far as pipe tobacco either ...

    Beer and Pipe Smoking

    How do you guys feel about having a beer together with a pipe bowl. I really enjoy both, but I did notice that if I have more than a couple of beers and a couple of bowls it accentuates my tongue bite, and diminishes my taste of the tobacco - regardless of what blend I smoke. Have you had that...

    Oom Paul - petite

    I have recently bought - by mistake quite frankly, a Hungarian that turned out to be petite. I bought it off an ebay.com type of webpage and while the buyer posted the measurements of the pipe, i did not pay much attention. Oddly enough in central Europe you can hardly find an oom paul, so I was...
