    Breaking in an Uncoated New Pipe

    I only like naked bowls and I always break them in with a Virginia flake of some kind. I get a nice hard cake fairly quickly using my system.. I fill it to the top and smoke to the bottom. Never had a burnout ever.

    ***What Are You Smoking, November 2022?***

    I just ran across a stash of tins and bulk of 2006 Mac Baren Navy Flake. I can't remember the last time I smoked it, it is damn good. Smoking it in a Rad Davis Billiard.

    Question about mixing tobaccos.

    I leave the mixing to the pros and have never mixed blends. I am old and set in my ways so don't necessarily go by me.

    What is the best strike Matches you have found?

    I once got a pack of Davidoff matches that were very good but had a stupid price. I could own a nice lighter and use good fuel for the price of those matches. I still with my IM Corona Pipemaster lighters with a the built in tamper and am quite happy. I bought Swan Vestas one time and...

    What are You Watching? Year 2022

    I have been watching a lot of World War II documentaries lately. American factories poured out equipment in staggering numbers. They built a factory Willow Run that was over a million sq ft and they were pimping out thousands of B 24's. They made 655,000 Wily's and Jeeps. Aircraft carriers...

    Pipe Tobacco business

    I built my main pipe tobacco cellar in one year back in 2012-2013 for around 18K. I used to spend 20K plus per year smoking 6 or so Cuban and highline Fuente and Padron cigars a day .I have saved over 180,000.00 switching from cigars to pipes in the last decade if my math is correct.

    My New Care Giver

    The Lasagna was a big hit last night. Meaty and cheesy, just the way I like it. I think I spoke two words while I was stuffing my gullet.

    VaPer or VaBur?

    Interesting list. I don't have one in my cellar and the only ones I have tried were Hal o The Wynd and Reiners Long Golden. I tried Hal over 18-20 years ago and it bit the shit out of my tongue as did all Rattray Virginia's. I then tried the Reiners 2 times with a decade between each time and...

    There are few who are able to enjoy the art of pipe smoking. A gorilla can smoke a cigar.

    Terrible experience selling on 4Noggins

    I have always felt that when a retailer does a terrible job, it is up to the members to tell everyone what happened so we can protect our selves and make sure no one gets taken advantage of. Us pipe guys gotta stick together.

    4Noggins - Tobacconists - Missing In Action?

    If anyone is thinking of owning a retail store, better be prepared to work 9 am- 9 pm 7 days a week. When I opened my pool hall the hours of operation were 11 am to 1 am. I got there at 10 to set up the room and then closed at 2 am to clean up the place. 16 hours a day was a mother, but it paid...
