Newby VA Flake smoker... questions
Sorry, but what is a 10 sec nuc, acutabovebriar? I dried mine for about three hours, and have been drying each bowl's worth of tobacco for an additional hour or two before I smoke it. I have had the best results with a narrower chamber, too. Cheers and thanks!- stavros388

Newby VA Flake smoker... questions
Good to know, guys. I cut some into little squares (as suggested) and just shredded some. The bowl I just finished was about half and half, and the cut pieces were quite big. I had no problems with some folded, hand shredded burley flake a few months back, but it wasn't nearly as moist as this...- stavros388

So I received a shipment of tobacco and decided to try the Full Virginia Flake. Finding it a bit moist I left it in my pipe bowl for a few hours and smoked it. Hated the first half because I had to work so hard to keep lit, absolutely loved the bottom half. Delightful! Questions... What does...- stavros388

Universal Pipe Filters?
Greetings, I've been smoking pipes for about 5 years and inherited quite a few pipes from my father who passed away a couple of years ago. He left a box of Brigham pipe filters behind, too, but they don't fit any of the pipes I have. I am just wondering if there is a universal...- stavros388
