    OK, cross pipe magazine off my get rich quick plans. Now that opening a tobacco company is off the list as well, I am fresh out of ideas!

    My First Batch of Rumtopf

    That looks really good. Unfortunately, my obsessive compulsive behaviors makes drinking spirits a problem. I'm now in the abstinence camp but do enjoy!

    I Just Cleaned 24 Pipes in 20 Minutes!

    One of my hobbies is making fine furniture. I work with wood a lot. Moisture is bad for wood. With that said, a pipe is full of moisture after a smoke anyways. The wood is wet regardless. I do not think adding additional water to the pipe will change a whole lot as long as you dry it as you...

    Help Me Find A New Christmas Aromatic

    I smoked a bowl of Scotty's Blend Egg Nog last night. It was a nice REALLY MILD smoke. I'll finish it off but probably won't buy again.

    *** What Are You Smoking?*** (December 2018)

    Best option for shorter smokes?

    I pack smaller bowls for quicker smokes but 10 minutes is too short for me. Why not let your pipe go out and relight when you come back later. I've done that by necessity and it seems to work.

    Christmas Trees

    A fresh cut tree! I guess as fresh as a tree cut in Oregon on a tree farm and shipped to Arizona can be. Needles are already falling off. It smells great and I use LED lights. When I was a kid in Colorado we cut our own every year. My dad would find a big pine tree about 40' tall and cut it...

    Frog Morton

    Being new to pipes I started as an aromatic guy and figured I would always be that way. I really enjoy some of them and have a few favorites. I acquired some Frog Morton when I bought some pipes that were for sale locally. He had a box of jarred tobacco and I gave him $100 for it. It had some...

    Filter-no filter

    I have pipes that take filters and pipes that don't. The Savinelli's and Vauen that do, I use the filters. The pipes that don't, I don't use them. I don't notice much of a difference.

    4 Oz Mason Jar

    I will try running these through the dishwasher and see if that clears things up.
