    We All Love Comics, Any Heroes/Villains Smoke a Pipe?

    Bruce Wayne smoked a pipe on occasion back in the day. Nick Fury and Wolverine smoke cigars.

    Great smelling great tasting T...

    My two favorites that fit your description are Reiner's Professional and Dan Tobacco's DaVinci. Both taste great and smell great. If they have nicotine, it's not detectable to me.

    The After Midnight Club

    I work the night shift and peruse the pipe forums to see what's going on once things settle down here at work.

    My next evolution in the hobby: Smoking cool.

    I use a modified version of this that doesn't make near the mess. I keep the pipe upright and use three fingers and a thumb and lightly roll the tobacco in. I then tamp that down and repeat a second time. Lastly I drop in some finer ground tobacco and lightly tamp then light. I get a nice...

    Stanwell or Savinelli?

    In my experience, Stanwell's just barely edge out Savinelli's in quality and fit and finish. If you're looking for smaller pipes, Stanwell is also the better choice because, in general, they tend to be smaller than most Savinelli's. The Stanwell Featherweight line is nice. I have a Vario...

    Into Shooting?

    Just bought me one of these: S&W 642 Centennial Airweight Revolver .38 Special. I'm a big fan of S&W handguns. I had a S&W compact 9mm years ago that I've since sold. I can't remember the model but it was a really nice weapon.

    Aromatics-a review

    I, too, am not ashamed to admit I like aromatic tobaccos from time to time. Reiner's Professional is one I smoke fairly often. Another favorite is Dan Tobacco's DaVinci. Both high quality with a nice flavor and room note. Neither one is goopy. The Newminster Blackberry Brandy sounds good...

    Bummer! That sucks although it's kinda cool to see the cross-section.

    Peter Stokkebye Bulk Luxury Bullseye Flake

    I love this stuff! I have three boxes cellared. I so go for the 24 oz. There are plenty of folks who like it enough if you ever want to trade or sell. Better yet; if you don't like it at first, put it in some mason jars and set it aside to revisit it later. It ages very well and your tastes...

    Do You Tongue The Slot?

    Way more than me. It was the statement by one of the guys that I respect deeply who said "I do think most people fool with the slot with their tongues while smoking though." It threw me off because I assumed that most guys don't touch the bit with their tongues because, well, I don't. I...

    Do You Tongue The Slot?

    Yeah, I wanted to attract a lot of attention to get a lot of responses because it could potentially affect the way I finish my slots. :lol:

    Do You Tongue The Slot?

    I know; weird question. But, a recent conversation with other pipemakers regarding the style of the slot has left me wondering: do you touch the end of the stem with your tongue while you smoke? I don't recall seeing this covered on any of the forums and just assumed that most do not so as to...

    Torching a stain

    I don't know any pipe makers who use Minimax Wood Finish from Ace. Most use leather dyes with Fiebings being the most popular. I prefer to mix my own and use J.E. Mosers powdered dyes.

    Torching a stain

    I don't set mine on fire. You have to glob the stain on pretty fast and thick for it not to evaporate before setting it on fire. I do heat my stummels with a heat gun sometimes if I'm aiming for certain contrast stains although I find this is only really effective with water based stains...

    Columbus NASPC Show

    Thanks briarbird. I look forward to meeting you and the rest of you fellas and, hopefully, sneaking away for a smoke or two. The NASPC show is always a good time.

    Sanitizing jars for cellaring

    I've boiled mine, washed them in the dishwasher, microwaved the glass part, and just filled them straight from the package and have never had problems with mold in the last three years. I wouldn't fret too much over it. I don't know anything about StarSan but my gut tells me it's a bad idea...

    What's your poison of choice when smoking a pipe?

    It's tough to pick just one. Bourbon is probably the one I choose most often but it has to be top shelf. Beer would be next but it has to be craft beer. Beaujolais or shiraz would be next. Last, would be rum and Coke with a spritz of lime.
