    Seeking Advice: How Critical is Straight & Centered Drilling?

    This pipe delivered an excellent first smoke. I couldn’t pick out a problem, and I tried! I got a very nice even burn with no isolated hot spots and no excessive moisture or blockage. Feels great in hand and comfortable to clench.

    Seeking Advice: How Critical is Straight & Centered Drilling?

    I appreciate everyone’s thoughts. One guy made this in his shop. With his hands. I’m not bothered by the fact that it’s not perfectly drilled - I just want it to do its job well. Having slept on it, I’m going to smoke it. The maker stamped his name on his pipe and I’ll quit second guessing...

    Seeking Advice: How Critical is Straight & Centered Drilling?

    Just received a new pipe, for which I paid full price. Upon inspection, I noticed the bowl bore is a bit off center. Looking straight through the mortise toward the bowl, the drilling is low and pointing slightly from left-to-right. Looking straight down on the bowl from above, with the stem...

    Brief GH Brown Flake Unscented Review

    Thanks for the review, it serves to elevate my anticipation… I’ve got a half kilo in the mail of the brown fake u/s and very much looking forward to taking custody! GH is a newcomer to my cellar, I only regret not discovering these blends much earlier. Kendal and Glengarry are my current...

    In Praise of the Humble No. 400

    Thanks for the stoving reference and the recipe. Definitely captures my interest - I am sure I’ll dabble when I can focus on a tobacco project. Re: screen name, “yanagiba” and “deba” are my favorite shapes for ‘single bevels’ (traditionally forged Japanese kitchen knives).

    In Praise of the Humble No. 400

    Very interesting idea mentioned here. Is the tobacco in vac bag actually immersed in water heated to a particular temp, for a particular time (as is common for sous-vide cooking recipes)? If so, I’d be keen to know any particulars: time, temp, result for Newminster 400. I look forward to...

    Inordinately Tight Stem: What To Do (in the long term)?

    Very interesting point here. I saw the soap recommendation on YouTube and have been thinking about whether or not I like the idea. Fortunately, I have no current tight stem issues; but I like to be prepared with tools, materials and solutions as much as possible. Thinking out loud here (I’d...
