    Ash Dumping Question

    Shake that ash! If I can't get a good light I'll just dump. Otherwise I don't. Kind of like knowing when to flick cigar ash. You just know after a while.

    Question on Last 3rd of the Bowl

    Don't smoke to the bottom. Especially aros. They aren't a dry type of tobacco and you need bone dry to smoke it all the way. That last little bit isn't worth it for aros. You could stop and smoke it another day. Or just dump and repack.

    Recommend Some Good Tobacco, Please

    I've often wondered if there really are levels in pipe smoking. Maybe based upon one's getting used to the smoke itself which does take some getting used to if you've never before smoked anything. I think the levels people refer to are based upon the ability to detect nuanced flavors for any...

    Need a Couple of Noob Recommendations . . . .

    Not sure about the procurement part but chocolate and cherry? Try Sutliff Chocolate Mousse - very chocolate sweet and Sutliff Black Cordial. Cherry sweet. Others for me are PA Dutch Treat from Boswell's which has both chocolate and cherry.

    Does pipe smoking and drinking go hand and hand

    I found drinking ice water while pipe smoking any blend will bring out more subtle flavors.

    Notwithstanding the arguments of morality and the hell that war is, war is nevertheless good for business. Here in Conn the fortunes of many prominent families were made in WW2.

    Now That's Dry Tobacco!

    I wonder if you put that tobacco into a food dehydrator what might happen when you smoked it.

    Smoking to the Bottom of the Bowl.

    The excess flakes I cut off I stuff again so it's just reused as is.

    Breaking In A New Pipe

    Light it and then if it goes out quickly then relight and if it happens again you're out of tobacco. Relighting is part of the ritual of pipe smoking. That's never caused problems for me.

    Sherlocking A Pipe

    Mine smoke great too. I've not experienced issues with hole alignment affecting draw. I do ream the draw hole out to about 4.5 mm and the tenon hole about 3.5mm. In 35 years of pipe smoking Ive never paid much attention to these things except in the smoke ability. I buy good brands and go from...

    Sherlocking A Pipe

    When using your pipe cleaner to check stem alignment how do account for pipes that are bent stem types like a bent apple Pete XL02? The bent pipe holes I've seen cannot align given the sharp angle of the bend and the need to have a drill enter at a angle from the side.
