    Rubber tips?

    And they promote/stimulate salivation, which is a very good thing when smoking a pipe.

    Rubber tips?

    So what is your take on rubber tips? Is this the new hype or something that should be done for practical reasons. Tell me what you think.

    Burnt Rims and Wanton Violence

    Thank you all. I usually have to work really hard every day to earn any money, I pay for too much tax (I am a home-owner in the UK) and I have too many bills to pay for too. Now here is the thing: with the little money I am left with I buy things that I really like (sometimes I even save money...

    You Mean They Can Legally Not Hire Me Because I Smoke?

    If we privatized everything, that is, the police force, government, hospitals, schools, etc., we would not have any of these problems.

    Burnt Rims and Wanton Violence

    This is more or less my first post in this forum and I see now that I haven't been very successful. I apologize to you all if you think I have been condescending or if I offended anyone in this thread. I just hope I won't become the most hatred and unpopular person in this site because of this...

    Burnt Rims and Wanton Violence

    Apart from the skin colour, which is totally irrelevant to be able to tell someone's character, I take those things into account as well. Let me give you another example. I am a wargamer too. For me, collecting miniatures is not only about the game itself. I like painting them, looking after...

    Burnt Rims and Wanton Violence

    I apologize for the patronizing and condescending tone, but I cannot help myself saying it. In my pipe club there are a few old timers who will treat their pipes this way and I can surely understand the psychology behind it. Moreover, I don't refuse talking to them and I will have a good time...

    I'm About to Pull the Trigger on a Dunhill

    I personally think Dunhill pipes are somewhat overrated. Sometimes I expend more money than I should on a wimp expecting that pipe to be it, but only to find myself smoking on one of my cheapest ones some time later on as they smoke best. I am like my cat in this respect, and this is the reason...

    You Mean They Can Legally Not Hire Me Because I Smoke?

    I live in the UK. Of course, I am not stating facts (I am well aware of these pieces of legislation), but I don't agree with them.

    Lord of the Ring Churchwardens

    I haven't got any churchwardens in my pipe collection yet, so I have been planing on buying a Lord of the Rings like pipe, but I haven't been able to find anything in his range so far. Some time ago I saw this YouTube video about a pipe maker who specialized in making these, but I don't seem to...

    Photo Picks

    Sorry about the dumb question, but how do you actually upload picks to show in your threads? I haven't been able to do this so far and it is bugging me.

    Burnt Rims and Wanton Violence

    I usually can tell and individual's personality by how he treats his pipes. Sometimes I see people smoking in damaged pipes with burnt rims, partially broken, dirty, scratched, etc. These are individuals who will, for example, empty their pipes hitting the rim against a wall, light their pipes...

    You Mean They Can Legally Not Hire Me Because I Smoke?

    If you take into account nobody can claim the right to be hired, that would be true, and I honestly believe that should be a constitutional right. As a matter of fact, they can refused hiring you for whatever the reason; that is, because you are fat, ugly, if your breath smells, or if you are a...

    This is what I like

    I don't smoke just one single blend or mixture, but 3 different ones depending on how I feel or what time of the day it is. I usually start the day, after my breakfast, with Dunhill's Elisabethan Mixture, then move onto Royal Yacht and then, to finish the day, I'd smoke a bowl of Nightcap before...

    Tongue and Lip Bite .... Again

    One tip of advice. If you get a tongue bite, just quit smoking until you feel better. The more you smoke, even if properly, the more you are going to aggravate your tongue. When I started smoking some 20 years ago, I used to suffer from this problem a lot, but then I found out this was due to...

    Dottle question

    Oh, thank you all, really. I was somewhat worried about this as many people say too much dottle residue could give a foul flavour to your pipes when this happens frequently, that is, in the long term. About Watson and Holmes, I think it was rather Watson the one who would smoke those dottles the...

    Dottle question

    It does not matter how slow I am going to smoke that, at the end of it, I always a dottle at the bottom of my bowl, which I hate. I have noticed, though, that some mixtures, if properly dried, leave much less residue than others. Say for example Nightcap or Durbar. On the other hand, some...

    How Much One Should Smoke?

    I usually smoke 1 bowl after every meal, that is, 3 bowls a day, but sometimes, if I am not working, I will smoke more than that.

    ***What Are You Smoking *** (Dec. 2014)

    I was smoking GS Flake in a bent Peterson Rocky, but I usually smoke Royal Yacht, Night Cup and Elizabethan Mixture, which I rotate depending what time of the day is or what activity I am planning on doing.

    Flake Question

    I have tried a few flakes so far, but they are not my cup of tea, whether the GSs ones, Dunhills, or any other ones. The only ones I've enjoyed are De Luxe Navy Rolls, but I really cannot get on with the rest. For one thing, I find it very difficult to crumble them down, you need to relight...
