Easter Lamb
Marvelous! It should be scrumptious! Take a pic of the final product. I like to marinate my lamb chops in balsamic vinegar, rosemary, garlic and a lot of fresh ground black pepper. On the med-high grill for 4 minutes a side. Yummy!- monty55

Drying Question: How Dry is too Dry?
I can't say that I have experience that. But then again, I don't smoke it if it's too dry, I rehydrate it first. I also don't pay much attention to how many times I relight because there are so many variables. A lot of time I have to set the pipe down to do something for half a minute and have...- monty55

Drying Question: How Dry is too Dry?
I like it to be just moist enough that if I pinch some between thumb and forefinger with some force, it just stays together. If the tobacco breaks and doesn't bend, it's too dry for me.- monty55

My Two New Neerups!
Thanks for the info, that clarifies it for me! Well, my first Neerup is a 3. So I guess I got 2,3 and 4 covered. What is the highest grade for these? -

Tongue Bite Progress Update
Your body/mouth chemistry might also have gotten used to and acclimated with the chemistry of Pipe tobacco over time. This also happens and reduces bite for newbies in the long run. But glad it's working out for you, and you didn't quit!- monty55

My Two New Neerups!
That's interesting. I was under the impression the grades were about size. Hmm. Anybody know the facts about this? -
My Two New Neerups!
The bowl in the Bent Apple is a 2, while the Billard is a 4 and does have a huge chamber, but I like that sometimes for a long smoke. I've certainly become a big fan. You just can't beat the price point for the quality and looks. -
My Two New Neerups!
They both smoke great. The Bent Apple takes a pipe cleaner well. The Billiard I can get the pipe cleaner down to where the airway meets the bowl, but I can't get it to into the bowl proper due to the steep angle. But it smokes great and it's nothing I can't deal with. Thanks guys. Enjoying them... -
My Two New Neerups!
I sold some aged tobacco tins on here and used the proceeds to buy a new Neerup pipe, but, why buy one when you can have two! I bought my first Neerup a month or so ago and have been really impressed with the pipe, it's looks, smoking ability, and most of all the price! So I decided to buy... -

The 14 Types of People You See on Internet Forums
Oh, so true. That list is spot on... But I for one am quite pleased that this forum in particular doesn't have a lot of that stuff. Sure, there are a few that approach certain aspects of forum members behavior on that list, but by and large I'm not seeing the majority of that stuff on this...- monty55

Who Picnics?
My ex and I used to picnic a lot before and after we were married. Always brought the same stuff. 2 bottles of wine, one red and one a chilled Pinot Grigio, a good selection of cheeses, olives, cured meats, melon, and a French baguette. Sometimes peaches or plums when they're in season. I had a...- monty55

Pipe Cleaners
I used to use about 3 normal pipe cleaners for each smoke. Then I discovered Long's 9" pipe cleaners sold through smokingpipes.com Now I can used both ends for two cleanings, then bend the middle into a loop and clean the bowl. All with one pipe cleaner. Whatever it takes to keep your pipes...- monty55

Pan Seared Scallops
Ya I was wondering if they were frozen. Flash or dry frozen is the way to go. Some frozen scallops are "wet" frozen in a gooy solution that's not good. They won't sear up and don't taste nearly as good. Man, I'm hungry!- monty55
