    Mortise and Tenon Issues

    I have a 2010 Peterson St. Patrick's Day bent-stem pipe that seems to be having some mortise or tenon issues. The stem is lucite, and a week ago I was going to smoke it for the first time in a while, but was unable to do so when the tenon wouldn't stay in the mortise. It was a loose fit. It's...

    You know you've been smoking a pipe too long when...

    Feel free to fill in the blank with your own addition: You know you've been smoking a pipe too long when ________________. I'll start it: You know you've been smoking a pipe too long when you start describing the room note of your child's dirty diaper.

    Pipe Smoking in the American Southeast in the Summer

    Yeah, I know it's a lenghty title, but it gets the point across. I re-read Greg Pease's article on how weather/climate sometimes influences what people smoke (http://pipesmagazine.com/blog/out-of-the-ashes/the-blends-of-summer/), and it had me reflecting on my smoking experiences this summer and...

    Planning on building a pipe cabinet

    As the title indicates, I'm planning to build my own pipe cabinet since the prices for these things are just stupid expensive (even on e-bay, or maybe I'm just cheap), and I was wondering if anyone has any idea what the average stem diameter of the average pipe might be? An even better...

    Funky Smelling Meerschaum

    I have a skull-shaped meerschaum pipe my wife got me a few years ago, and I'm a little concerned about it. I don't smoke it often, mainly because it has a questionable smell coming from it when I smoke it. I've smoked two or three different tobaccos in it and I've also smoked the same tobaccos...

    My Intro to English Blends

    In a previous post, I pondered what all the fuss about English blends was about. Now I know. I recently ordered a tin of Cornell & Diehl "Good Morning," and although I haven't tested the name in the early hours, I've had a Good Evening and a Very Good Afternoon with this stuff. I can say that...

    Navy Blends

    What makes a navy blend a navy blend? Is it an ingredient, an aroma or flavor? In another recent thread, I received some advice on a few navy blends, but upon analysis (but not yet smoking them), I couldn't tie them all together. Some are aromatics, some are English blends, some VAPers. I'm...

    Tongue Bite v. Tongue Burn

    I hear a lot about people complaining about "tongue bite," and I've read somewhere on this site (I embarassingly forget where.) that people often confuse tongue burn with tongue bite. So, my question is this: How do you know when you are a victim of tongue bite, rather than tongue burn...

    Tobacco for a trip to the beach

    Today, we finalized our plans for our big family vacation to Florida this summer. I immediately began thinking about what pipe tobacco would be good for the beach, or ocean environment. I think it should be something that blends with or compliments the salt air and the smell of the ocean, and...

    Types of Tobacco Resource

    Is there some online resource that I can access that will help figure out how to understand a tobacco blend's description? What I mean is this: I would like to be able to read a blend's description and be able to get an idea of what that would taste, smell, feel like. For example, if I'm...

    All the fuss about English blends

    Maybe I'm just a little hypersensitive since I'm pretty much an aromatic smoker, but it seems that, by the way many pipe smokers talk, a newbie pipe smoker's tobacco evolution should logically end up with English blends. In other words, if you start out with aromatics, as many of us do, one's...

    Beginner's Cornell & Diehl

    Thank God for this website and forum, since I'm the only pipe smoker that I personally know in my area, with no one to discuss the hobby/lifestyle/whatever we want to call it. So, I've only experimented with a few pipe tobaccos, mostly bulk jarred stuff, a few tinned Peterson blends, Mac Baren...
