    Cherrybomb by CAO (Lane)

    I just had another 2 bowls of this today and it's really growing on me. I finally am noticing the cherry flavor, I find that it's more apparent the hotter the bowl smokes. And I get it a little bit on the after taste. It's still very mild in my opinion, the formulation of my current tobacco must...

    What to Do with Old Broken Pipes…

    Another idea for the bowls: maybe a bird feeder of sorts. They could hold seeds, you could stack them up alternating on Christmas tree shaped wire or wooden frame, or along a single row. You could put little dowels out for the birds to perch on. Or maybe fasten them to a small square base and...

    What to Do with Old Broken Pipes…

    Wow the last picture just wow. Better than anything I could have imagined from your initial paragraph. It looks like a Montblanc! The thought just occurred to me for the bowls, how about salt and pepper shakers?

    Dirt cheap meerschaum pipes for testing?

    So a few years back, in the early 2000s my local shop had these little miniature meerschaum pipes for about $5 or so. They had cheap plastic stems like the corn cob pipes you see today. They were nothing fancy although surprisingly they did have machine carved designs. I have long since lost...

    How Long is the Shortest Pipe You Regularly Smoke?

    Do you guys notice a hotter smoke with the short stems? I've always stayed away from them for that reason, but never tried one yet.

    Finding my way...

    No problem, happy to help. We were all beginners once and like I said even the experienced smokers overdo it from time to time. I am no expert by any means, I am just returning to the hobby after a few years of being away from it. Just sharing what I have learned from my own experiences. I'd...

    Cherrybomb by CAO (Lane)

    I just finished a bowl of this about 30 minutes ago. I got a tin in a sampler deal a month ago and have been smoking it off and on in rotation. To me it's quite pleasant. I did read a lot of negative reviews about it so was worried when I first packed the bowl. My first couple smokes with it...

    Should I Buy Aged Tobacco?

    I'm glad I found this thread, I just recently picked the pipe up again and was going to throw out my old dry tobacco that was in storage from 12 years ago but I think after reading through this thread I will try to rehydrate it in a humidor and see if it's usable. I never thought about the...

    Foreign Matter in Tobacco

    Have you ever found foreign objects in your tobacco? I opened a new tin of tobacco today, started rubbing out a small pile on a paper to let it aerate a bit before packing in my pipe and was a bit grossed out to find all these short little hairs clumped up in the tobacco. It looks like trimmings...

    Finding my way...

    Keep some coca cola or soda of your choice on hand in the fridge for those occasions, it will work very fast to make you feel better. Then try to put a little food in your stomach to settle things out, something with bread or sugar as previously mentioned. The sugar is what really helps you...
