    A Tiny Pair....

    Beautiful. I would love to have a pipe like one of those!

    Attention Dottle Dumpers!

    @eastwoodaudio I have the same Hilson, and found the first smokes pretty offensive in the second half. I went back and did a few half bowls of strong tasting stuff (G&H Dark flake and Kendal Kentucky), and that straightened it out. I really enjoy that pipe for quick smokes, and yeah it smokes...

    Dunhill "Royal Yacht"

    I love this stuff, I go to it several times a week. It's sweet and strong, and doesn't bite, it makes a nice smoke in a small pipe when time is short.

    Metal Fans?

    @eastwoodaudio I've never listened to Red Fang. I'll give them a go, thanks for the heads up!

    Metal Fans?

    eastwoodaudio - I caught the Mastodon/Converge/HoF/Dethklok concert and it was incredible. They all put on one hell of a show. I was amazed to see dethklok stand toe to toe with the likes of those bands and put on an unforgettable show. I'd go again in a heartbeat.

    Metal Fans?

    Been a metalhead since my teenage years. I love it all from early Sabbath, to current stuff. The latest by Carcass is great, so is the new Amon Amarth album! I especially dig a lot of stoner metal like The Sword, Orange Goblin, High on Fire, Electric Wizard, etc. I'm not a stoner, but I love...

    Latakia - Convince Me To Try It!

    Sounds a lot like my experience. I've been piping for about 18 months, for 12 of those months I was pretty indifferent, I enjoyed cigars more. Then I tried FMC and nightcap. I haven't touched my cigars since last fall. The funny thing is since then my palate has opened up to enjoying...

    If You Stopped Buying Tobacco Today...

    I've got just over 30 lbs cellared, and at my current rate that's 5-6 years. Not too bad considering I only started cellaring in November. I'd like to have another 30 pounds, but right now I'm cellared wide, the majority is in 2 oz tins with very few duplicates, about 200 different blends...

    A Return To Form

    Thanks guys, all this business of false lights, tamping, true lights, etc seems like so much bother. A busy man in today's world needs to be able to get right down to business. :crazy: Seriously though, this forum is an incredible resource to a relative newby like myself and the time I take to...

    A Return To Form

    This seems like the perfect time to ask about using charcoal fluid to get my tobacco lit. Is generic charcoal fluid ok, or should I stick to a name brand like kingsford?

    Hilson Pipes

    I bought one from p&c also, a bent bulldog shape. The bowl is on the small side, but it looks really nice. I've only smoked 4 bowls in it, and liked it from the first. I think it's going to turn into my goto pipe for quick smokes. It has me thinking I need another pipe or two with small...
