Wooden filters vs charcoal filters
Nice tread. I argue that balsas are nice to smoke unflavored blends. But if you're an aromatic smoker, you better get an active charcoal filter. Please, don't buy any filter, get a quality one like Stanwell-there are many brands out there. Here in Germany you can buy big quantities for a...- eduardonogueira

Filters and Their Effect on Aromatic Tobacco Flavour
I think it is important to highlight that here in Europe, the blends are made to be smoked with filters. I live in Germany, and most brands are European. I dont't get anything from unfiltered smoke in them, it actually tastes way worse without filter, way to harsh. I believe that you can get...- eduardonogueira

What Drink Goes Best with Pipe Tobacco
I think tea is a no go with tobacco :-), it has too much taste, it influences a lot in the taste of the tobacco in my opinion What you can drink with tobacco all the time is a white wine like riesling, it is very mild and has very few influence in the tobacco. Another option is whisky a nice...- eduardonogueira

How Often Do You Clean Your Pipes?
Nowadays I just use alcohol and water to fully clean my pipes. I realized that pipe cleaners don't really do the job, as many say after each bowl. In fact, pipe cleaners are usually made of polyester and they are quite water resistant, which is the base of the moisture of the tobacco. I do rinse...- eduardonogueira

Unable to Taste Flavour
He was talking about being "unable" to taste and he got all the kind of answer not related with the question. The answer is: You have saturated your tongue, there's really no much to do other than wait some days. You can smoke rolling cigarets in the meantime, don't worry it happens with food...- eduardonogueira

Building a cake...
It will form a fluffy-like cake if you don't let your pipe rest. All my pipes have a hard-like cake. I understand what you're saying, and I agree, if you smoke ash it will be the worst feeling ever, although if you let your pipe rest for a couple of days, it will turn in a very nice cake- eduardonogueira

Requesting Advice for Preventing Ashy Taste
If you experience any taste extra of those of the tobacco, it's likely not the ash. I never dump the ashes, it has more to do with your packing method than ashes itself. If you feel the taste of ashes is because you just burned all your tobacco, yes you wasted all tobacco relighting it several...- eduardonogueira

Building a cake...
Let me tell you something about cake. Firstly, cake is not just carbon as many folks say. Cake is in fact, the combination of ash and hardened oils, said that you can now understand that cake will only form if you're patient enough to wait until the oils of the tobaccos harden, and if you know...- eduardonogueira

Pipes with Shellac/Varnish Finishes
The reason why your pipe gets too hot has almost nothing to do with pipe finishing, it has more to do with the tobacco you're smoking. Oftentimes, it is related with moisture content and thickness of the bowl. Tobaccos heavily on sugar will tend to be burn hot and moist, whereas tobaccos like...- eduardonogueira

Pipes with Shellac/Varnish Finishes
It is simply impossible to get a high-end pipe without some sort of shellac and other extra finishes. Most of pipe makers will tell you that your pipe was just waxed. It is such a lie! Waxes of any kind can't hold the heat of a bowl, it actually gets into the wood and stay there, overtime your...- eduardonogueira

How do you flavor tobacco??
Well, IT WORKS!! I've tried everything I could and found out that there is some very important considerations while doing it. 1- Don't ever try oils or other agents used for cakes, they are extremely strong and you will probably ruin your tobacco. Most of the scents made for cakes have...- eduardonogueira
