    Finally Got a Claw...Yanik of Course

    Yanik makes some of the most beautiful pipes from the finish to the details. I would be scared to smoke his pipes though

    Anyone Familiar with Hilmi Çay?

    Title edited for caps and condensed, Original: Has anyone bought a pile from Hilmi Çay (meerschaum online) I follow him on Instagram and he cranks out a lot of pipes, some of which look appealing to me. Has anyone bought his pipes and how do they smoke?

    How to Get a Stain Out of a Meer?

    This is shameful but I left my pipe out on the porch a few weeks ago, resting on my tobacco drying plate. The water and the tobacco created a brown liquid and stained the side of the pipe. Any idea if I can get this out?

    Spoiled by Meerschaum

    I’ll be the first to admit I do smoke hot. My technique does need refining for sure even after several years smoking. This is something I’ve sort of consistently noticed though over the past two years smoking meers and it sort of climaxed in last nights smoke. Perhaps I need to modify my...

    Spoiled by Meerschaum

    After smoking one of my briars tonight, I think I can safely say that I am 99% done with them. I've been putting the meer down lately just to put some carbon in my much neglected briars and I have yet to have a pleasant smoke in any of them. I own quite a few, outnumbering my meers 3:1 and I...

    Old Codger All Day Smoking with One Pipe

    I’ve never had luck smoking a briar all day long. I have however been able to smoke meerschaum all day long. The white goddess has spoiled me and I can’t smoke any of my briars anymore

    Was Pipe Smoking ever Popular in Sweden?

    I also use snus as well and am aware that’s the primary nicotine delivery system in Sweden. Funny enough now that I’ve convinced my wife to be okay with it, I’m thinking about quitting because of my genetic predisposition to high blood pressure. That’s food

    Rehydrating flakes

    My friend gave me a whole pound of HH Burley Flake and it was quite dried out. I put it in a massive canning Jar I have. I wanted to rehydrate it so I flicked a few water drops and left the jar in the sun to create some condensation to help rehydrate. However I’m a little worried this might...

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2024?***

    Man do I love working remote. Trying to get some color on this IMP after a pipe hiatus. Smoking some HH Burley flake and frankly, not enjoying to too much today. I think I started it too hot.

    Aftertaste

    Greed, I love cigars in the moment but not so the aftertaste. My wife complains that it smells like something died in my mouth after I smoke cigars lol

    Aftertaste

    I am not a beginner smoker but it is a beginner question for sure. Is anyone else bothered by the aftertaste pipes leave? If not, what do you like about it? The more I smoke the more I realize I am not fond of it and no number of tongue scraping or brushing of my teeth can get it out, only...

    Birinci Meerschaum Pipe

    I have been trying to contact Birinci for about a year now to see how much he charges yet I cannot get a hold of him no matter how hard I try. Even reached out to Mark "BremenPipeSmoker" to see if he could get a hold of him for me but even Mark said he's not responding. Hope he's alright.
