    Best Smelling Non-Aromatic Blends

    I get compliments on the smell with Virginias pretty often. So double on what you said.

    Churchwarden recommendations?

    what's your budget on this? Just look at churchwardens on the sites that sell pipes till you see one you think he'd love. Then decide if you want to spend that amount on the gift or not. Most of the ones that you can buy on these sites are going to be decent pipes. Though if he's a lord of the...

    Perhaps we are blaming the wrong people

    That's just silly. Don't you know what happens when people war with birds. The birds win. You're suggesting kicking a hornets nest. And then if the swans find out what we're doing, you don't even want to know how that will go. Seriously dude. Ask our friends at the bottom of the world. The...

    Perhaps we are blaming the wrong people

    It's too not top down on this one. It's a lot more organic and human nature. And if there is any conspiracy it's that the perfume industry buys a lot of tobacco. It's in a lot of perfumes like an insanely high amount of them. So if anyone sneaky bastard is trying to get all the good leaf for...

    Major Mess-up

    Oh I caught the reference. I know what you were goofing on.

    Major Mess-up

    I always said that I was showing those kids solidarity. And that me stuffing myself would just be salt in their wounds. Of course that didn't go over well, even if they had to admit I had a point.

    Major Mess-up

    I know how dare they read the market and cater to keeping their doors open. I know I'd rather have them stick to their guns and be a relic of the past, then to have them change their mind and say hey if people are going to use our product how they see fit might as well go with it. I mean how...

    Major Mess-up

    honestly I am shocked that no one has come in here to say you made the mess up when you got the cob. Anyone able to check on some of our favorite codgers? Just make sure they're o.k.. Though this fits in the category of you live and learn. Be a little nicer to your cobs, and avoid minor...

    Chronic wet smoker

    One of my older pipes is a falcon regular stem and a meer lined brandy hyperbole, and size is sadly small. 30 minute smoke 45 if a flake. The thing smokes great and is a real bite killer.

    Chronic wet smoker

    Add a meer or meerlined bowl to that and you'll get the driest smoke possible. In fact it might just be dust. :)

    Chronic wet smoker

    truth in the whole just keep at it and it should get better. A lot of my biggest tricks came from experience and not from anyone telling me what to do. Just noticing when a smoke is better or just getting to a point where I don't have to think about how I do things and just do them.

    Chronic wet smoker

    That's the goal. That's a quite decent amount of dottle. Seriously there are people who have smoked for years who wish they could get that instead of the more they end up with. In fact I've been called a liar for saying I have around that much left after a smoke.

    Chronic wet smoker

    sorry if someone else asked? But how much moisture and how much dottle. A tiny bit is totally normal. Half way down the chamber being too wet to smoke is super extreme. So I guess what levels are we talking. It might just be totally normal.

    Crazy Looking Lorenzo T.V. Pipe

    I think it's so you can change the channel with the stem. The knobs on those old t.v.s would need something like that to move them.

    Coolest Savinelli Pipe I Have Seen So Far

    that's a lovely pipe. Glad someone else is not as impressed with Savs as many seem to be. I mean if Vauen wasn't a brand it might be a different story.

    Are These Factory Fills?

    looks like it might be a pit covered by coating and looking worse for it. That's my guess. And I do mean guess. Either way looks like something that will be totally covered after a few smokes and forgoten forever.

    Corn Cobs - what’s the skinny?

    the fact you ripped on cobs and your not in hiding tells me you're a genuine bad ass or at least someone that can fend off codgers.

    Ends of the Bowls Getting Acrid

    packing slightly lighter might help. At least for me it has made a huge difference for me and my pipes.

    My car burns coconuts

    I just meant they have unique things like slang that is very regional. And it's not just between different nations. I didn't intend to say it was that extreme of an effect that people wouldn't understand each other. Just that there are quirks. Sorry it came across like that. I probably wasn't...
