    Bad Draw

    I was very excited to receive my new Savinelli Fuoco 111KS last week, but trying to smoke it over Easter I was left disappointed. I have a small collection of Savinelli 111s and in my (somewhat limited) experience they all smoke great. However this new one seems to have a very bad draw. It opens...

    Smoking While Out and About

    I am still very much 'in the closet' and have only been smoking my pipe at home so far. Either inside, or on the balcony. When I do that a bowl takes me 25-40 minutes. I pack loose and attempt to smoke slowly, which seems to work with tongue-bite, not needing too many relights etc. I'd like to...

    Less Mess!

    As I get more and more into pipe smoking (although I've not managed to cut out cigarettes), I've been a bit put off by how much mess it makes. There is ash and bits of tobacco everywhere. And it seems to happen when I blow through the pipe after finishing smoking, to dislodge bits. Just now I...

    Meerschaum-lined pipes

    I have a few briars but have become curious about meerschaum ones. However, I cannot find very many in the UK. I like straight billiards, and am not interested in some of the more outlandish meerschaum designs I have seen. Something plain is good for me. The only one I can find is way too small...

    Cooling Down Between Burning In

    I've neglected burning in my pipes, so I have a fair amount of cake around the top 2/3s of the bowl, and hardly any on the bottom. I don't smoke a pipe all the time, but when I have a 'session' I normally smoke the same one all evening. So, I am trying to build up some cake on the bottom of my...

    Deep Cleaning Pipe

    I've been smoking a pipe on and off for about a year now, and own four briar pipes. I'm usually quite conscientious about doing the regular cleaning after each smoke, but have never done a 'deep' clean. I gather I need some alcohol (rum/whisky/cognac/vodka) and that I then dip pipe cleaners in...

    Thinking About Starting Again.

    Hi, After 30 years of heavy cigarette smoking, I bought my first pipe 6 months ago. I like a lot about it, apart from the (for me) missing nicotine hit. However, I gave up smoking everything on a whim in the start of February, starting off with patches and spray, and am now on just a few sprays...

    Strong non-flake

    Hi, I got my first pipe about 5 months ago, and the pipe tobacco blends I have found so far that satisfy my nicotine demands (I am a cigarette chain-smoker) are Dunhill Royal Yacht, Peterson University Flake and Peterson Irish Flake. I prefer the taste and smell of the latter two, but I find the...

    Aeroplanes

    I need to go away for a few days, and want to practice my pipe smoking (which my partner still sees as a strange affectation) undisturbed. I will be travelling with hand-luggage only and it is in the EU. The pipes and tins of tobacco will probably come up on the X-ray, but what I am most worried...

    Flakes

    I have just ordered my first flake tobacco (Peterson's University Flake for the extra nicotine hit to see if I can make this new hobby a real contender for my addiction ☺). So I have read up on packing techniques, but am curious about WHY they came up with flakes?

    Room note?

    Hi, I have been a heavy cigarette smoker since I was a child, and have always intrigued and fascinated by pipes, but always felt to young. I decided to treat myself to a pipe on my 44th birthday 2 weeks ago, thinking that I must finally be old enough to not look totally strange. My partner has...
