F1 2025 🏎️
The best F1 championship since 2010. It's also a very weird championship at the same time. Max is both the underdog gunning for the biggest comeback in F1 history and by far the driver who would be least impacted by winning.- frozenchurchwarden

Churchwarden recommendations?
My #1 recommendation right now is the Ropp Gargantua pipes: https://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/new/Ropp/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=566229 (They do produce a bent model but it's not in stock right now.) These are the only Churchwarden pipes that I know of with distal taper drilling in the stem...- frozenchurchwarden

How dry should it be?
Regular opinion on these forums is Tobacco should be bone dry. This might be the only way to functionally smoke a lot of varieties (e.g. flake), but in terms of getting the most flavor out of tobacco there is no reason to treat Pipe Tobacco any differently than a Cigar. Logically, it's all...- frozenchurchwarden

Struggling to taste tabacco
When I started pipesmoking it took about three months before I could distinguish between the different genres of tobacco. Yes, even Latakia, I can't be certain but I highly suspect my first bowl of tobacco ever was an English Aromatic type blend (local shop bulk blend) and to my senses it was...- frozenchurchwarden

Best affordable pipes?
Molina offers very attractive budget sandblasted pipes: https://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/new/molina/?sortOpt=priceAsc&page=1 In the past a few of my Rossi pipes came with an airway clogged with bowl coating and while I can't say Molina doesn't have the same problem I can say for sure that...- frozenchurchwarden

Issue Smoking Flakes
Flame is the necessary evil of pipesmoking. Smoking slowly is key to good flavor, but a good charring light goes a long way to avoiding relights and greatly improves my enjoyment of the bowl.- frozenchurchwarden

Well Im Fat Pt 3 - The New Diet
Body building is often very abusive to the human body. Ronnie Coleman obviously pushed things too far. Oppositely: Mark Felix, professional Strongman, was 57 years old at his last entry to the World's Strongest Man competition. And he still competes in strength sports at 59. Weightlifting...- frozenchurchwarden

Well I'm Fat Pt2
You either achieved a calorie deficit or you didn't, nothing else matters. "Changing your diet" from a large calorie surplus to a small calorie surplus still means you never began the process of losing weight at all. Look up the bodybuilder diet, losing weight while staying healthy is a...- frozenchurchwarden

Well I'm Fat Pt2
Losing weight by changing your diet isn't something that only works sometimes, either you changed your diet or you didn't. If you're still fat then you've never actually been convinced to change your diet. Some people think the calories are worth dying for and some people don't.- frozenchurchwarden

Well Im Fat
For the last few years I've been in the same boat, 6ft 300lbs, down to 260lbs so far this summer due to both hiking 20 miles a week and buying lots of protein powder (avoid getting skinny-fat). Best motivation to lose weight right now is for every 10lbs I shed my feet will hurt A LOT less. Also...- frozenchurchwarden

Have I Damaged My Pipe In My Early Attempts At Pipe Smoking?
Give it some pipe mud. Smoke a 1/2 bowl of super dry burly (e.g. Five Brothers) and then put a few drops of water in the ash and rub it across the bare Briar. You'll end up with a fine matte black coating.- frozenchurchwarden

Do Some Pipes Smoke Hotter Than Others?
I assume you're talking about a genuine hull of spongy plant fibers and not just a large volume air chamber. I suspect you'd get mostly the same effect from a MacArthur Cob (air pocket pack is basically the only way you can smoke those). So the average Briar reverse-calabash pipe would not...- frozenchurchwarden

Do Some Pipes Smoke Hotter Than Others?
If the original topic was intended to be the temperature of the smoke then I suspect that's a common misunderstanding about pipes. Smoke temperature is almost entirely determined by the tempo of the smoker and the choice of pipe should have little to no effect on the smoke, although the effort...- frozenchurchwarden

Why does pipe tobacco gain value with time and not coffee or tea?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pu'er_tea "Similar to aging wine, the tea reaches a peak with age and can degrade in quality afterwards. Due to the many recipes and different processing methods used in the production of different batches of pu'er, the optimal age for each tea will vary. Some may...- frozenchurchwarden
