    (Im)practical Pipe Tool

    I got a new pipe tool which turned out to have a squared tamper instead of a circular one. I don't find it very practical, what do you think? If you had one, would you grind it? I think I'll go for that. It was a cheap one anyway. The tamper surface is just a little bigger than the one a classic...

    Briar Taste During Smokes

    As the title says I'm wondering what is the reason I can taste the heated wood while smoking. It's a Rattray's Goblin, bought new and now smoked over hundred times. I can often detect a slightly unpleasant taste of the briar which should have gone away during break in process. What comes to mind...

    W. Ø. Larsen Edition 2022

    I can't find any reviews about this tobacco and this is probably the right place to talk about it. Larsen Edition 2022, fire dried Virginia, air dried Burley and Black Cavendish. Flavouring: vanilla, plum and mirabelle. I'm not a fan of aromatics but I loved this stuff. I could tell a lot about...

    How Many "Pipefuls"

    I have just done some math for fun to see how many pipefuls would I smoke out of each pipe if I smoked all the tobacco from the cellar. My pipes in average take about 3 grams of tobacco, I own 15 pipes and around 8kg of tobacco. To smoke it all each pipe would be smoked 177 times. I realised I...

    Savinelli 321

    Any thoughts about Savinelli 321? I'm particularly interested if it is as good as the mythical 320. I like its relatively small chamber.

    How Many Different Blends Have You Tried?

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title - Bob How many different blends have you tried so far? When I decided to smoke a pipe my goal was to try as many different tobaccos as possible and eventually reorder those that are something special. Counting all together gets me to the number 122, including...

    Good Smokes vs. Habitual Smokes

    How often do you have a bowl which could be defined a good smoke? If you're one of those who smoke more than 5 bowls a day, is it just a habit?

    Pipe Covers/Lids

    I'm looking for a pipe cover for a Savinelli 320KS. Chamber diameter is 23mm which is pretty big. Any suggestions? I've been using this one, it fits all my pipes (with up to 20mm wide chambers, some cake makes them even more narrow): I've spotted another version on the market, which should fit...

    Traditional Pipe Making in Slovenia

    There was an interesting broadcast on tv about traditional pipe making in my country and I thought I would share. The pipes part begins at 20:00, just skip the first 20 minutes. Hopefully you can open the link. here

    St. Bruno Flake

    I'm wondering if MacBaren's St. Bruno Flake is considered as one of "lakelands"? I smoked several bowls and its floral topping is not so pleasant to my palate. Generally I like floral notes but this one reminds me of some toilet refresher. It's a good tobacco, I like its strength but the aroma...

    C&D Morning Light

    I'm smoking a tin of C&D's Morning Light and I would appreciate some comments from those who know this one better. Specifically, I'm confused about the moisture. As I opened a tin the tobacco was very moist, almost wet. I couldn't wait as it smelled very nicely and packed a generous bowl. To my...

    Blending Percentage

    How many percent of different tobaccos would you put in your mixture if you had to blend your own? Let's say you have available some straight virginias, oriental, perique and syrian latakia. Maybe something like 70-15-5-10? I'm planning to experiment a little but it's hard to find any concrete...

    MacBaren Original Choice

    I'm finishing my second pouch of Original Choice and am interested what you experienced smokers think about it. It's advertised as good tobacco for beginners and it indeed burns nicely, no problems smoking it at all. They also say it's a light aromatic and that's something I'd like to talk...

    Wonderful Gift?

    I just found a link how to make a wooden pipe and would like to know your opinions about it. link When I saw it I almost fell off the chair. Comments below instructions seem positive but I was shocked and would never light that piece of wood, specially with a gas burner as shown on step 10. I...

    "Cake" Problems

    I noticed that one of my pipes with a decent (but not too thick) cake is having a hard time. A small piece of the carbon layer got off the wall and now there's a small hole. Not a big deal so far but is this normal? Should I ream it to the bare wood now (since the hole in the cake goes all the...

    Vauen Minni 1

    Hello everybody. I'm pretty new to pipe smoking and I recently bought a new Vauen Minni 1. I'm smoking it for about a week but I'm really struggling to keep it lit. It gives me 15-20 minutes of joy but it requires so much of attention to squeeze some satisfying puffs out of it. Can anybody give...
