    My first pipe carving attempt using hand tools

    I got this straight stem kit from 4noggins. I used only a coping saw, a couple rasps and files and sandpaper. I first drew all over the thing trying to get an idea of what i wanted to make... I then took a coping saw to it and made it into an extremely rough blocky pipe... I...

    How to make a simple leather tobacco pouch

    I much prefer making my own things than buying them. Even if in some cases it costs more than something i can find on ebay. That being said i would like to share with you how to make a nice easy pouch to carry some tobacco, a small pipe, tamper and lighter. First you'll need a piece of leather...

    Retrohale problems

    I wanted to make a new post to talk directly about retrohaling any blend and not just one in particular. I've found over my past few bowls (one a dayish), that my nose burns like hell when I Retrohale even a small sip. This happens with English, aros and non aros. Even when I smoke ultra slow...

    Pipes and cigars tax

    I just noticed on pipes and cigars that it doesn't tax you and says remmitance of any taxes is down to the customer, due to different state's laws. Does anyone actually ever do this or has it caused anyone problems? Wasn't sure where to post this but I'm thinking alot of us use pipes and cigars.

    Is this tongue bite?

    So my tongue never hurts or burns while I'm smoking. But after i finish a bowl or during, if i take a drink of something, my tongue starts to burn in a rather unpleasant way. It fades after a few seconds but it only occurs when i take a drink of something, even if its just water 5 mins after i...

    Mac Baren Vanilla Residue

    I purchased some MB Vanilla loose cut and I noticed that there was quite a large amount of sticky residue at the bottom of my pipe after emptying the ashes out. I have never had this with any other blend and all I really smoke are aromatics. Is this blend known for that or a one off? Smoked in a...

    Blend mixing and the frank method

    Hello everyone, apologies if I'm starting too many threads but I don't want to stray from the original topic too much. So I recently tried mixing lane 1q and captain black dark and leaving it out to dry for about 30 mins before loading it into my pipe using the frank method for the first time...

    Smoking a cob in public

    I was curious if anyone has ever been hassled by people for smoking their pipe in public. More specifically a cob, as most people just associate them with weed smokers, especially where I live. Am I wrong in assuming that if a cop walked passed me ( I am a fairly young pipe smoker, over 21...

    Orlik golden sliced retrohale burn

    After just having finished my first bowl of Orlik golden slice, I cant really say it was not enjoyable. I used the fold and stuff method and I had to relight again and again, it was burning very hot very quickly and whenever I breathed the smoke out through my nose i had quite a strange...

    Hello everyone. I have made a few posts here over the past week or so and its coming up to about my 3 weekish pipe smoking anniversary already. After having just finished a bowl of Lane 1Q in my MM washington that lasted me just over an hour, sipping slowly and taking my time, smoking it all...

    Bottom of bowl taste

    Hello again guys. I just smoked a bowl of frogmortons cellar and thoroughly enjoyed it more than any other time I've had it. Truly my best pipe smoking experience yet! But toward the end of my bowl I could only taste what I can best describe as licking an ashtray. I know I wasn't just smoking...

    Yabo meaning?

    I have been watching quite a few Youtube pipe videos and keep seeing the words Yabo or Yapo pop up. Any idea what it stands for? Only been smoking a week or two, go easy on me

    Dr Grabow pipes?

    Hello everyone, At the moment I am only smoking from 3 different MM corn cob pipes, but at my local rite aid I noticed they had Dr Grabow briar pipes for sale (along with a few MM cobs). The briar pipes were priced at around $30-$35. I was curious if anyone has purchased a Dr Grabow briar and...

    How long does a bowl last you?

    I was curious just after smoking a full bowl in my MM washington, because i got through it fairly quickly. It took me about 20 mins? I know for sure I'm smoking a little too fast but i often read that most bowls last about 45 mins to an hour? I guess i have to take in account bowl size and...

    Tastes the same as cigarettes

    I received a package of 3 corn cob pipes and 3 tobacco pouches to try out for the first time a couple days ago. A MM country gentleman, washington and legend. I first tried the half and half and it smells good in the pouch but once lit with the 3 stage method and charring light, all i seem to...
