    Savinelli Roma - Charcoal filter?

    A very good morning to you all, morning here in the Wild West of England UK anyway! Quick question, I love this pipe, and use the Balsa filters for the most part - but would it take the 6mm cylindrical charcoal filter? Thanks and have a great day/evening Woodsman...

    Disappointed with EMP

    Hello everyone, Have you ever looked forward to a tobacco, only to be woefully disappointed with it? I am experiencing just that with Early Morning Pipe. Given how much I love Presbyterian Mix, I thought this would be a slower start to the day. Now it may well just be my palate - but it smokes...

    Half a Bowl Left when Out and About...

    Hi all, So say you're halfway down a bowl, and you have to move on, what do you do with the pipe in the absence of being able to finish it - bear in mind the tobacco might still be hot? Thanks...

    Falcon Pipe bowl size

    Hello everybody, I bought another Falcon estate pipe recently and the bowl is (I think) a Genoa. The interior was significantly more spacious than all the other bowls I have. It also has 'Falcon' stamped on the underside of the bowl too which my other bowls don't have(?) It's a bit too well...

    Why so different?

    Hi all, Why is it that I can put the same tobacco in the same pipe and one day it will be a nice cool smoke, I can taste and smell the Aro ....the next it can be like smoking raw charcoal...all burnt and really rather unpleasant??? I keep my pipes clean, smoke slowly, pack light (Frank method)...

    Tapping out ash...

    Hi, When you’re halfway down a bowl, or less, do you loosen up the smoked tobacco (now ash) and tap it out into an ash tray? If so, do you then tamp down what's left and re-light? Thanks....

    Fixed bend but now look!

    Hi, so following some of the advice about how to fix a misshapen stem I managed to do this using hot water...so mission accomplished. But now the stem is massively discoloured. Yes it's a Falcon Coolway, yes it is cheap n cheerful, but I like it. How can I rectify the discolouration? Thanks!

    Oxidising already?

    Hi all.... Only had this pipe for an hour from new....is this right?

    Dr Plumb Peacemaker #3

    Hi, I managed to grab this Dr Plumb Peacemaker - which I understand are rare, at least here in the UK. It comes up really clean apart from the stem that looked like a dog had been playing with it (slight exaggeration!). I have gone through the usual procedure, cleaning, Mr Clean, grading...

    Different bits...

    Hi, As a relative newbie (well returning anyway!) can someone explain the functions of the different bits on the end of the stem, Dental, P-Lip, Standard, Fish Tail...etc - when ordering a new pipe I want to make sure I am ordering the correct mouthpiece for me. I sometimes 'clench; and...

    Hmmm, don't like this but why?

    Hi everyone, So I bought some Gawith Hoggarths Kendal Jamaican Flake (Dark Rum Flake) and it's my least favourite to date. I do enjoy GH coffee caramel, Petersons 965 and especially Night Cap - so what is it that my pallet doesn't like with the Jamaican flake? Thanks...

    Discoloration?

    Hi, I know some teeth chatter is inevitable, but why is my Peterson's going so discolored so soon? Thanks...
  13. Old_Woodsman

    Guilty pleasure or found my blend?

    I absolutely love Peterson's Nightcap. What is it I like so much? I'm a relative newbie returning to my pipe after several years? I hear tell it's 'strong' in what way? Is it exclusively for the evening, as I think I could smoke this all day? Also, what's this about a nicotine hit? I (very)...

    Just chilling....

    Don't know how old this Civic is, but it's full of GH CC. I do know the Chivas is 12 years old....by the side of a pool in Bali for Christmas with my wife and in the background 💗

    Is this worth repairing?

    Hi, I acquired a couple of Peterson pipes, this one has a small crack in the mouthpiece - is it worth repairing? I suspect it won't affect the smoke? Thanks

    Availability

    Hi everyone, hope you’re all well? Having done a little research, there are several tobaccos I would love to try, but unfortunately (and typically) they're only available in the US. What do others in the UK for example get around this - do I need a friendly fellow pipe smoker in the US to send...

    Hot pockets?

    Hi, so many questions!! Haha! How do you gentlemen pocket or store a half smoked bowl if you are on the move? Especially if It's still hot/warm? Thanks, Tony

    Which one next...?

    This is such a great forum, having access to so many experienced smokers advice is fantastic! So, my question...I was weaned on Hogarth's Aromatic tobaccos, I still love the Coffee Caramel as a go-to for some quiet time with my pipe. However, I recently read that Mr. Ian Anderson (of Jethro...

    I must be doing something wrong.....

    Hi everyone, I have several pipes now after returning to the past-time after some years. I have Falcons to Peterson's....but the one that I seem to get on with is a Falcon Coolway 23. Why? Well, the smoke (regardless of the leaf) seems richer and more enjoyable down to about halfway down the...

    Filter pipes

    Evening, I wonder if someone might tell me which make of pipes have the 6mm or 9mm disposable filters as a norm? Thanks so much, Tony
