    New Tobacco Tray

    So I tend to like most blends a little dry, and up until now I have been using plates or foil to set small piles out to dry. Well, I had the idea, and I am sure I am not the first, to use one of these old dip trays as a nice looking tobacco tray. I picked this up at a thrift store for 3 bucks...

    Ascension Day

    So, today will be my last day smoking cigarettes. Tomorrow I will finish my ascension to pipes exclusively. I'm looking forward to it, cigarettes are finally losing their appeal entirely, so its time to take the leap. Progress, both in the form of success and falling off will be posted here...

    I Gave In Again... Hilson PAD

    I couldn't take it. I have been eyeing this beauty for weeks, with its luxuriously tall chamber, and that half price sale tag has been nagging at my soul, screaming "buy one before it is too late!" I finally broke just now. Now, for the real question, how to tell the misses..

    PM Members Meet For A Smoke

    Yesterday I had an awesome opportunity. Myself and member adyingbreath had a chance to meet with PM member rsuninv. He was nearby on business, and we had a chance to hook up for lunch and a few smokes. A few days ago rsuninv shot me a pm telling me he would be in town briefly, and asking if...

    Just Thinking

    So I just rolled over to Senior Member, and it got me thinking. I have only really been active on the forums for the last month or so. It seemed quick, and got me thinking about why I chose this one to begin with. A little over a year ago I was in Afghanistan, on my 4th deployment. I had...

    Clenching And Switching Sides

    So, I have found that my sweet spot is on the left, right in the corner. Now my question is, where is your spot, or do you switch it up? If you switch, why?

    Aromatics and Shortness of Breath

    Does anyone else have this issue? I am a 20 year cigarette smoker, still trying to complete the conversion. I have noticed that smoking aromatic tobaccos seems to leave me short of breath. I am a clencher, and I tend to inhale small amounts of smoke unintentionally. I recently started trying...

    First Bowl of Old Dark Fired, Impressions

    So much to my suprise, I found a 100g tin of ODF at my local B&M this evening. After all the good things I have heard, I had to try it. So, steep price be damned, I bought it. I couldn't wait, so I cracked the tin in the parking lot to take a smell. Very nice, rich and kinda spicy. Being...

    My New Stanwell 198 From P&C

    Just thought I would put up my opinion on a few things here. First of all, the Build Your Own deal over at P&C is amazing. Being a WA resident, I was disappointed at first because I couldn't figure out how to not select the tobacco, and when I added it, then tried to remove it during checkout, I...

    Trying To Get In Touch With Seattle Pipe Club

    I am looking to attend the March meeting, and have a few questions. Should I pay the dues prior to the meeting, or can I just show up? What time does the meeting start? And is there a dress code? Thanks, -Jason

    P&C Build Your Own Question

    To everyone who ordered the Stanwell pipe in their build your own package, which pipe in particular did you receive? On another thread here I noticed an N4 and a 172, but when I called to ask for specifics, I was just told its random. Just wondering, I ordered mine today, but living in...

    Bad Savinelli?

    I recently picked up a Savinelli 316ks from my local B&M. Later that day I realized it was a "Savinelli Product" pipe. Long story short, the bowl had a minor burnout during the first smoke (1/3 packed, slow smoked). The briar seems too light to be true, like someone accidentally loaded the...

    Using The Stove To Dry Tobacco

    Anyone else tried this? I bought some tobacco that was way too damp for my liking, so I dropped a big pinch on some foil and held it a few inches over a hot burner. After stirring it up a few times and letting it steam, I set it on the counter to cool, came out a measure drier and ready to...

    Rattray's Chubby Jackey

    My latest pipe, after months of PAD, I gave in and I'm glad I did. I actually kinda like the 9mm filter, shuts down tongue bite. The briar on this baby is thick and solid, I tend to smoke a little hot, but this pipe barely got warm. Fit and finish are fantastic, the blasting is great, the...
