    I think this may have been asked many times. How does the type of tobacco (Burley, Cavendish, Virginia, etc) affecting the taste of smoke? Personally I like aromatic or sweeter taste. Should I avoid some type of tobacco? Is there certain type of tobacco gives/makes better aromatic tobacco...

    Vinegar on pipe stem?

    As I know, vinegar can work as oxidation removal. But why doesn't anyone mention using vinegar for stem cleaning (while bleach, bar keeper friend are very well known)? Is that because that will do something bad to the stem or what? Also, is that true that all metal polish can be use to remove...

    Question About Gourd Calabash

    I don't know if this may help or not. As a bass guitar player, I am very sure that mahogany is relatively heavy comparing to any kinds of wood you can find. I believe you will find the pipe much heavier than you think.... Also, just in case you don't know, buy a meerschaum pipe and you will...

    Pipe tobacco recommendation?

    Thank you very much. The advice is very very useful for a new pipe smoker like me. To be honest, most of the brand you guys mentioned are in my "trying list". The only problem is most of them are tin and I don't have that much to spend in order to try them all.... I do like the Mac Baren 7...

    Is there such kind of pipe?

    Wow~~ so nice and so many great suggestions. I have no idea cob pipe can be smoked more than once a day. To be honest, I thought it is some kind of cheap and good alternative for briar pipe.... I heard many of mini Meer are made from pressed meer. I have no idea where I can find good mini...

    Pipe tobacco recommendation?

    Thanks everyone. For the 1-Q. I know this is a very good tobacco (from tobaccoreviews). But I have no idea why all bulk tobacco I bought tasted not that great (From pipesandcigars, even Cornell & Diehl).

    Is there such kind of pipe?

    Thanks for the information. Where can I find some good quality small meerschaum pipe? Is there any brand you can recommend? The only brand I know that made mini/small meerschaum pipe is Servi. All other I can find on ebay seems to be fake or has bad quality. Btw, I don't know the smaller pipe...

    Is there such kind of pipe?

    Ideally, I want a pipe that can smoke multiple time, small in size and may be look great too. The first kind of pipe come to my mind is "mini meerschaum pipe". But I heard a lot of times that "mini meerschaum" are not good in quality. Also, I know that there is "lepeltier pipe" which is...

    Question from a new member: Cleaning pipe stem

    Re Spartan That's what I am thinking too (I hate germs...). But isn't alcohol will cause the stem becoming dull? Is there any way to deal with that? Or is there any solution, cleaner, etc. that can do the same job (sterilizing) without making the stem dull? I have heard that Brebbia Pipe...

    Question from a new member: Cleaning pipe stem

    Hi everyone. Can someone tell me how to clean the pipe stem? I am not referring to a "big cleaning project" which require bleaching and buffing.
