First impression: Stanwell 185 and Viprati
My first week of pipe love has been focused on John Cotton's #1 out of my little Baraccini pocket pipe. I've had a blast figuring out what that combination requires to make an enjoyable experience, less density in the load and "sipping" along.

Educate me on fills, please
So, I've read the term in passing a few times here. I get the idea that it's smoothing imperfections in the briar surface with additional material, but I'm just guessing.

New guy. Intro and summary.
Hello. I am Jay, in Austin, Texas. I smoked cigarettes for 33 years, until my body began advising me to not do so. I began vaping 2 1/2 years ago. My 10 year blood pressure problem and recently acquired angina both went away after 4 months of vaping. I got into the variety of vaping "e-juice"...- jaytex1969
