    ***What Are You Smoking? December 2019.***

    My first ever bowl of Amphora original in the country gent cob I got from diamondback this Christmas. This is a... surreal moment for me, because this is the blend which started it all. I remember being a very small child, and it was my first encounter with an old man smoking his pipe. I...

    Smelly Pipe

    When I first encountered a lakeland ghost in a pipe I couldn't believe it wasn't simply cleaned with some floral soap. It's very likely that the smell comes from that type of tobacco. As to cleaning it, if you have some fine sandpaper, see if you can carefully get rid of just the black layer of...

    I'm Stunned Right Now

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) - Bob A quick bit of context for my story, I've only been back to pipe smoking for a few months now. Started right after high school, had lots of fun trying a bunch of tobaccos and rolling the dice on ebay estates, mostly lower grade pipes since...

    ***What Are You Smoking? December 2019.***

    Having a personal concoction of Luxury Twist Flake and a condimental portion of Old Dark Fired in a Washington 5th Ave Cob. Rich and sweet.

    Years Smoking Poll

    First pipe was around 18 or 19, which was around 15 years ago. Stopped smoking at around... 21 or so, and now I'm back full steam ahead since October.

    What Is Your Favorite "Manly" Poem?

    Oh was it? Apologies, I should have gone through it more diligently-- I had no intention to repeat post. I was actually looking through a few poems but ... I hesitated to depress anyone during the holidays with some of my favorites, like The Crunch.

    ***What Are You Smoking? December 2019.***

    Some Elizabethan in an ancient, well caked MM Missouri Pride cob. Isn't a well broken in cob a thing of beauty? If I tap the cake with a pipe tool, it makes this 'plik plik plik' sound, looks and feels like graphite. The wooden insert has almost completely burned away, and it smokes cool and...

    Salt And Alcohol Treatment. Why Kosher Or Sea Salt And Not Table Salt?

    Coffee grounds! Interesting, this is something I can try very soon. I will report my results by the end of this year(which sounds dramatic but... it's the end of year, so...). For the record, this pipe is so heavily ghosted that despite 10 or so bowls and 3 SA treatments, the outside of the...

    Good Smokes vs. Habitual Smokes

    Hmmm. As a born-again newbie pipe smoker, getting everything just right is tough for me-- packing, a well rested pipe, ideally dried tobacco, the right tobacco, a pipe that smokes well. When these things align, I get a good smoke. Some days are just off days, alas. My goal is always to...

    How Many Bowls a Day Do You Smoke?

    Anywhere from 2 to 5 bowls a day, but no Latakia except once a blue moon.

    Salt And Alcohol Treatment. Why Kosher Or Sea Salt And Not Table Salt?

    I've been trying this with an ebay pipe I got for 10 bucks which I think could be a big English factory second. I've only been back in the pipe game for a few months after a 13 year long pause, thinking I had quit, so I'm on the hunt now as they say. Since I'm looking for cheapo steals on ebay...
