    Breaking In A New Pipe

    New pipe, same old problem! A new pipe has arrived home today and I have some doubts about the ideal way to break in this pipe! Not much doubts about if I choose to use honey around the bowl, but if should I experiment letting it rest in salt and alcohol/vodka for a day before I go with the...

    ***What Are You Smoking, September, 2023?***

    Perfect Friday for me! This estate Bari de luxe arrived today and I just found a store that sells Presbyterian mixture(since it’s hard to find a wide range of tobaccos in Portugal)!

    ***What Are You Smoking, September, 2023?***

    This Stanwell caught my eye the first time I saw it. Ordered it last week and it arrived today from William’s Estate Briar pipes. Trying it out with some MacBarens HH Vintage Latakia.

    ***What Are You Smoking, September, 2023?***

    Sitting in the balcony after a day at work. My Missouri Meerschaum Ozark Mountain Straight and it’s small bowl with some Sail Black.

    Filter life?

    When I bought my first new pipe I asked the seller(Savinelli) the same question. They said I could use up to 2 or 3 smokes the balsa filters. Since I use only one tobacco brand with that pipe I started to notice small changes in the tobacco flavour. Sometimes I grip the filter with my fingers...

    The pipe that got me into all of this. Savinelli 321 and some Holland House.

    Shea Butter As A Polishing Material

    That’s valuable advice there! Makes sense! I bought them second hand and they came like that. I’m not to keen on biting the stems so I just want to recover them a bit! I’ll try that process! Thanks!

    Shea Butter As A Polishing Material

    I I’ve tried toothpaste already but the teeth bites reappear after two or three smokes after. 😔 Anyway, I also have some bee’s wax and I read some here that it could also be used. Polishing the stems is not my main concern, but getting rid of the bite marks. I’ve thought about shea butter...

    Shea Butter As A Polishing Material

    Hello everyone, I had a little bit of shea butter sitting around the house and was thinking about using it a polishing material to recover two pipe stems that are a bit green and have teeth marks. Do you think it’s a good way of doing it or this might harm the stem or even make them too much...

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2023?***

    I bought it in Porto through an eBay like platform. I’ve seen the advert and went to buy it in person. I really love that pipe indeed.

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2023?***

    A break at work. Trying MacBarens HH Vintage Latakia for the first time on a Peterson Killdare (coming from aromatics). Not bad!

    Pipe Smoking Social Meaning…If There Is One

    By “a pipe smoker in the wild” you mean someone smoking a pipe outside a closed space? (Sorry if question seems redundant)

    Pipe Smoking Social Meaning…If There Is One

    Pipe Smoking Social Meaning…If There Is One

    Hello everyone. I know that this question might not directly envolve a discussion about pipes or tobacco, but I am very curious about how all of you are analyzed by the others around you in your country, just because you smoke pipe. Living in Portugal I can tell you that pipe smoking is a niche...

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2023?***

    2 hour break at work… spent sometime with my Savinelli and Holland House. Warm nights at Porto!

    Pipe Tobacco In Iberian Penisula

    Unfortunately due to EU restrictions on tobacco products and although Germany is inside the EU, tobacco cannot be shipped between EU countries, since in the case of this product and alcohol, each sovereign state tax policy works independently and I’m sure those products would be stopped at...

    Pipe Tobacco In Iberian Penisula

    In the EU you cannot send tobacco except within the same country. Although they say it’s an economic common space that doesn’t apply to such products as tobacco or alcohol. The only thing allowed is to carry up to a kilo of tobacco with yourself! Damn bureaucrats!

    Pipe Tobacco In Iberian Penisula

    Honestly, from the brands I’ve tried, I’m pretty comfortable with MacBarens Scottish Mixture and Holland House. The thing is that I was trying to taste English and Latakia brands which I can’t find anywhere else in Portugal. I do understand the will to try a lot of brands, but that’s not the...
