    Piffyr Is The Man!!!

    I was cleaning it with rum and I went to put the stem in, it felt real tight so I went to pull it back out and then it broke.

    Piffyr Is The Man!!!

    As some may recall, I broke the shank in a pipe (while cleaning it) that was a gift and I posted here asking how to go about fixing it. joeman and piffyr both PM'd me with generous offers to fix it for free. I saw piffyr's PM first so I sent it to him and I just received it today. It looks...

    Can't Smoke McClelland VA Woods

    I think I'm going to hang on to it for now and keep trying it, as I do want to like it. But I will definitely send it your way if I want to get rid of it. Do you guys dry it out much? How tight do you pack it?

    Can't Smoke McClelland VA Woods

    Thanks for the help so far...I have a bowls worth drying now for overnight, probably try it in the morning. If that doesn't work I'll either let it simmer (should I mason jar it?) or try the CH mix.

    Can't Smoke McClelland VA Woods

    I'm posting here as I'm still a newbie...I can't get a bowl of McClelland VA woods to stay lit. I'm literally relighting every 20 seconds. At first I thought maybe it was too damp so I dried some out for about 5 hours and it's crispy, but no easier to smoke. I've tried packing it loose and...

    Broken shank

    Got the PM! I was checking under notifications...weird. Thanks again! Love this forum already. Hope I can give back to this place.

    Broken shank

    Still nothing! Weird. If it doesn't come through today I'll PM my email....seriously too kind of you. Thanks!

    Broken shank

    Thanks so much, I just checked my PM's and didn't see anything?

    Broken shank

    Thanks for the help everyone...if I could figure out how to repair this one (or where to send it) I will pay for it. I don't wanna be a charity!

    Broken shank

    Thanks, yeah I know it might be easier just to order a new one. Looks like I might just do that. My sister got it for me as a present so I don't wanna "offend" her by shelving it. I'm guessing to replace the tenon it'd be at least $25 or $30. Thanks!

    Deck The (Carter) Halls

    Just had a bowl of it in my MM Cob this morning while walking my pup and it was great. Love the slight chocolate hint.

    Broken shank

    I was cleaning my pipes (with vodka) and I put the shank in too early, wood was swollen and thus a tight fit. Went to back it back out and it snapped. Lesson learned. What a pisser! Anyway, where can I order a replacement shank? The plastic insert is about 3/8" OD. The shank still goes in and...

    Next "Step" After CH?

    Thanks for the ideas everyone. Right now, I've smoked two bowls of the VA flake in my pearwood pipe and like it, but got it a little hot the second time. I think I let it dry too long. It was better the first time when I let it dry for a half hour instead of a day. Going to try it my cob within...

    Next "Step" After CH?

    I went to a local tobacco shop today (they actually care about pipes and pipe tobacco and not vape crap!) and bought an oz of VA flake. Smoked a bowl tonight in my pearwood pipe and I think it went well. Couple things: 1. How do you know if you're smoking it too hot? I got minimal tongue bite...

    Next "Step" After CH?

    That Orlik Golden Slice looks good. And @pipesmokingTom, that is a very kind gesture! I don't wanna put anyone out anything, so if you have any suggestions, I'd be very thankful for just that. :) Sourcing the stuff is part of the fun.

    Next "Step" After CH?

    First...I'm not slamming CH...I do like it for how easy it is to smoke! I've been smoking for about 2 weeks now and I think I would like to try something with a bit more flavor. I have a pearwood pipe and a MM Legend cob. I would like to try something non-aromatic I think. I was reading up on...

    Beginner Pipe and Tobacco Plan

    Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I will check out the videos, there's so much to learn. One more question - I see people wanting to build a cake up in a pipe, but I've been cleaning them out every smoke with pipe cleaners and either rubbing alcohol or rum. Is that ok?

    Beginner Pipe and Tobacco Plan

    Thanks, good to know about the pearwood. Thought I read that somewhere that they're a little delicate. So far, I only smoke a few days a week at night, so especially with a cob or two thrown in I can let 'er rest. Any comments on my plan on using it for Virginas and/or Virginia blends?

    Beginner Pipe and Tobacco Plan

    Thanks for the replies everyone. Really nice forum. I think I'm already getting PAD and TAD...doesn't help at all that the closest gas station to me is also a (small) smoke shop!

    Beginner Pipe and Tobacco Plan

    Hi everyone! Just received my first pipe as a birthday present a week or so ago, so I think I have found a new hobby. It's made of pearwood and it's very similar to this one, just has a eagle on it instead of a dragon...
