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

    So I am a little confused on how the whole "burnt ends" line differs from the traditional? Can you explain to me?

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

    Getting my 10k steps in before work this morning. Sadly the sun had not come up so the picture didn’t turn out great. Old Joe Krantz in an IMP Lattice and some black coffee in a cool wood paneled MiiR mug my wife got me. I am consistently reminded how amazing of a blend OJK is. Absolutely a...

    How to Get a Foul Taste out of Meerschaum?

    @Chasing Embers I've tried your method, let it sit in water overnight, flushed it out, brushed it out, and it still smells and tastes horrible. Any other advice?

    Ideally you want to remove the cake.

    How to Get a Foul Taste out of Meerschaum?

    Thoughts on soaking it in a 25% whiskey 75% water mixture?

    How to Get a Foul Taste out of Meerschaum?

    I’ve put a few too many “bad bowls” (smoked waaay too hot) through my meer and it has this awful tar , creosote, ash, and graphite like taste to it. I’ve been cleaning the inside of the bowl with a wet paper towel and dry it out followed by a wet pipe cleaner through the shank and stem but the...

    That meer is colored so perfectly its indistinguishable from a briar. I always thought it was funny, as a primarily meer smoker myself, that the ultimate goal is to color a meer to look like a briar 😂

    Struggling Coming Back after a Hiatus

    It definitely takes retraining because I have noticed the same thing. Seems to me after about four days of smoking 1-2 bowls a day, I start picking up on flavors again.

    Dumb question how have filters impacted the coloring of your meer, specifically in the shank?

    Pipe smoking and diet

    60% proteins from animal based, 30% from whole grains, vegetables, fruits, etc., 10% healthy natural fats (butter, olive oil, eggs, fish, etc.). Exercise every day and only eat Whole Foods except for some fun days on the weekend. It helps my mental health as well and look good for my wife 🤪.

    Pipe smoking and diet

    I always thought moderation was difficult to define since it’s different from person to person. None of us are getting out of here alive but a lot of us would like to live as long as possible and die without crippjngly painful cancers 😂

    Pipe smoking and diet

    Before a couple of you codgers jump in and say “you’ve posted a lot about health concerns and pipe smoking, you should quit” (as they have commented on a post before) I’m not really worried about health concerns just curious about this topic 😂. How do you think a clean diet mitigates health...

    Struggling Coming Back after a Hiatus

    Play and experiment, that’s the name of the game. That’s how I first started too, just need to rediscover, it’s sort of fun! Almost feels like you’re smoking for the first time all over again

    I’ve never heard of that before, I’m going to give it a try!

    Struggling Coming Back after a Hiatus

    Title edited for capitalization. Rule 9. Been taking about a month or two of a pipe smoking hiatus and am having troubles coming back. When I light up my bowl I get a lot of the great flavor from my blends but lose the flavor about a minute into smoking. I can’t seem to find the right...
