Pipe Break-in and Dedication
I am one who generally dedicates my pipes to blend families. My pipes are either used for burley dominant blends or Virginia dominant blends. Contrary to what many on this forum practice, I have found that I prefer virginias in my cobs and burleys in briars, but that’s a subject for another...- LeafErikson

Two New Ropp Etudiant J07 Pipes
I’ve had my eye on these rusticated pipes from Ropp for awhile. They finally released more of the J07 straight billiards and I pulled the trigger. They’re inexpensive, group 2/3, have uncoated bowls, and are light as a feather. Bowl depth of 1.4” and width of .72”. I broke one in with Sir Walter...- LeafErikson

Bowl Coating Question
I recently picked up a couple of new Kaywoodie pipes and one of them is perfect but the other one has this weird cracking on the bowl finish. It doesn’t look like the briar itself is cracked at all but nonetheless it’s not something I’ve ever encountered. Should I just go ahead and smoke this...- LeafErikson

Sutliff Ready Rubbed Match Cut
I just received a bulk ounce of Sutliff RR Match in the mail yesterday and fired up a bowl last night.

I have seen pictures and watched reviews of this blend and always thought it was...- LeafErikson

Dedicating a Meerschaum?
I generally smoke non-aromatic blends with no latakia. I smoke lots of burleys, va/burs, vas, and va/pers and usually dedicate my cobs and briars to either be used primarily for virginias and Virginia/per blends or for burleys and va/bur blends. Is this something that I should do with my new...- LeafErikson

Meerschaum Pipe Search
I am very fond of classically shaped, straight pipes and as much as I enjoy my cobs for their utilitarian traits, I would like to take the plunge into the world of meerschaum pipes. As I’ve been researching meerschaum pipes I’ve concluded that I should probably look to get a push pull stem but I...- LeafErikson

Briar Gurgle
Greetings. I have been smoking a pipe for about a year and a half after switching from smoking cigarettes on and off for years. I started with a MM cob and have since accumulated a few other cob and briar pipes but MM cobs are still generally what I reach for when I smoke. I usually smoke 3-4...- LeafErikson
