    Sometimes They Don’t Need Breaking In

    The worst pipe I ever broke in was a Butz Choquin. It was one of the first briar pipes I have ever broken in and it tasted awful. I was almost sure I wouldn’t get to the point of enjoying it, but after many, many break in bowls, it smokes like a champ. I have had three Neerup pipes that smoked...

    Anyone Gotten Rid of PG\chemical taste?

    Yes sir! I obtained a gorgeous pipe that frustrated the hell out of me until I put it down for a few months and tried a burley blend in it. It smoked like a champ. That is the only blend I will smoke in it moving forward!
