    The General Corn Cob or Go Full Macarthur?

    Yeah. I think so too about the quality of MM cobs. So far my corn cobs works so well and with chalk filter I don't worry tongue bite risk...though I think all filters work the same and filter makes me more of a glutton puffer. Good thing I only limit myself with certain date restrictions to make...

    The General Corn Cob or Go Full Macarthur?

    I've been experimenting with my own diy chalk filters. Apparently they are available commercially as pipe filters as explained here. So far I find first smoked chalk filters are too dry and make me very thirsty but a darkened used chalk filter are good. It smokes cool, absolutely no tongue...

    Whiteboard Chalk Filter

    Whoops...sorry...it's blackboard chalk. Slip of mind, we've been using whiteboard all the time at work so it's just being muddle together in my brain to translate into english. It's the piece of chalk for writing on board at school. I used it to keep my tools from rusting and now lined it under...

    Whiteboard Chalk Filter

    Just made a happy discovery today. I bought a box of whiteboard chalk for the purpose to make a bottom lining for my work pipe box to keep the pipes dry since it's the wet rainy season here. Then after doing some reading, found online somewhere mentioning that chalk clay is used as pipe...

    But I Like Smokers - They Are More Human.

    It's a funny read about the ban...while in my country the government going to waive the taxation on tobacco product sold in restaurant or coffee house yet planning to ban smoking even in the open air section, punishment is about USD2,000 fine or no more than 2 years jail...can you believe it? It...

    Smoking and 3rd Hand Smoke, Child Abuse and etc.

    Actually I started smoking pipe because I believe I am now at an age where I could comfortable enjoy to the fullest the pleasures of life after a "healthy" life time living like a monk. Also seeing family and friends who live healthy but still die from various illness ranging from denggue fever...

    Drying corn cob pipe in the car

    Thanks for sharing the information. Someone should make a video on this as "young" pipers like me have tendency towards watching video tutorial than reading stuff off the forums. I guess corn cobs really are tough. Was worried because being a hobbyist bowyer sometimes I over cured my wood stave...

    Drying corn cob pipe in the car

    Is it ok to leave my corn cob pipes in my car glove box during the day to dry up? Just for context, I once left a stick of candle in the glove box and came back to find it in a pool of wax on the floor.

    Tobacco to choose from for this month...

    My tobacconist from mytembakaushop provided description for no. 77: This blend reminds a bit of the No.66, but thanks to its much higher content of sweet mature Black Cavendish it provides a fuller and more fruity aroma. A vividly coloured "Black & Gold" mixture with medium size and broad cut...

    Tobacco to choose from for this month...

    Took the no. 77. But will go on taking the rest in followings months. I will take my piping journey 1-2 tins at a time...or maybe 3 tins if something good is on sale. Oh dear...is this what people call smoking addiction?

    How to avoid burning tobacco?

    Thanks for the advise. Will try to see if I could get my cadence right. My weakness is I puff too greedily when I get that delicious hit in my mouth.

    How to avoid burning tobacco?

    I heard that if we smoke or light aromatic tobacco too hot it will burn and ruin the flavour. Is this true? If so, how could I avoid burning my tobacco? For the moment I've dry my tobacco on paper before smoking it. So far it works and no tongue bite but the flavour is faint or none at all...
