Uneven Cake
What tobacco have you been smoking in there? I would recommend you to ream that "cake" out - it seems to be very moist and I can hardly imagine, how should absorb any further moisture.. How large was the initial chamber diameter? Let's say it was 20mm. Now you're down to 16mm perhaps. You're...- gripsie

Goodbye, Red Virginia
futureman, you might want to try drinking green tea along with the VAs - I've heard the help with tounge bite.. After the third bowl of VAs in a row I tend to get tounge bite also, and the green tea definately worked for me.. Eddy- gripsie

What Would Your "Dream Blast" Sandblasted Pipe Look Like?
Difficult and interesting question. I'd say: depends on the style of the pipe. Large pipes might need deeper, more "rustic" blasts, smaller pipes more shallow blasts. But not only the size of the pipes matters, but the style of the shape also I guess.. Generelly I guess, I prefer the more... -
Group 1, Very Small Bowls, What Are They For?
I find smaller bowls to be very good for certain tobaccos. One critical point is the chamber diameter. It mustn't be too narrow for my taste. There are some (very few) pipes out there that have only a 16mm or 17mm diameter. With this diameter I have some problems with most tobaccos - in my... -
A Jess (?) Pipe
I think this is a "real" Jess C. Shape and size seem in his range. Stamping looks the same like the stamping on mine does. Most important: The stemwork looks fitting - especially the lip. A shot of the slotwork would have been very helpful, since Jess' slotwork is very characteristic. The only... -
New Remington Pipe
Wow, nice pipe, foggy! I guess, I just bought it's Japanese sister... :) Can you say, in how far the mouthfeel of an Bakelite stem differs to Ebonite? And: Are those stems slightly thicker? Eddy -

Hello pipe folks, I just wanted to share the most recent additions to my collection. First, there is a cute little Stanwell from the 60s or 70s, shape number 77. At the same time (at the meeting of our local pipe club) I bought a very elegant and wonderfully grained Dublin by Frank Stollenwerk... -

If The Zombie Apocalypse Came Today, How Long Would Your Cellar Last?
Not very long, in Germany there are no guns, so I would have to lock myself up in my apartment and would start smoking my pipes 24/7... :)- gripsie

Favorite Cornell & Diehl Blends?
Hehe, definately! In fact, that was a good thing in some cases. Just from the tin description, I probably hadn't ordered Star of the East Flake, but the tin looked so cool and classy, I had to have it. Smoking it the first time I thought to myself: "Gosh, that's an amount of Latakia I haven't...- gripsie

Favorite Cornell & Diehl Blends?
C&Ds were the first tobaccos that really "kicked" me. In Germany they're quite difficult to get and I only bought tinned blends in Swizerland so far. I bought quite a lot of different blends and none of them disappointed me. My absolute favourites would be Briar Fox, Bayou Morning Flake, Sunday...- gripsie
