    The Biggest Revelation I’ve Ever Had That Changed Pipe Smoking For Me Forever

    thats blood. I keep saying a pick is for digging earth, not for digging in ones nose.

    Restoring The Two US Spartans From 1943

    I have to say in my opinion these are the ugliest pipes I've seen for sale. And I kind of love it.

    Philby and Mrs. Watchit

    Depends on how I am traveling. But I'd probably just take two falcon stems and a few bowls. I'd just take one pouch of tobacco and worry about finding more there.

    I think I’m done with Zippo Butane Pipe Insert

    So I should get the soft flame insert. The length of the flame seems ideal to me. If I smoked more consistently through the day the liquid fuel would be perfect.

    I think I’m done with Zippo Butane Pipe Insert

    I still want to try one. In part because I have a bunch of butane and no lighter to fill it with. Love the Zippo but hate the rate which I have to refill the thing and more so how if I don't use it the fuel just goes to waste.

    Went Full Keto Last Week. Any Others?

    Literally a matter of record. Like not even questionable. Dairy also had some big hand in it. Diet is complicated. And what works for one person isn't going to work for another, and even more so sometimes the diet that works for you will change either with age or activities. I personally am...

    VaPer bite ?

    I find Va anything works best smoked slow and dry very dry. Other blends dry helps but I can take or leave it. Va needs to be super dry in my opinion. Bite is weird though. I made a blend of two blends that never bite me and it gave me bite like I haven't had in years. Didn't smoke it fast or...

    The Biggest Revelation I’ve Ever Had That Changed Pipe Smoking For Me Forever

    forgot. But if I really want to taste the tobacco I swish the smoke around in my mouth while letting it sort slowly roll out. Especially if my cadeance goes off and the smoke starts to get hot. I find it not only gives more flavor but helps let the bowl have a few seconds to cool down a bit.

    The Biggest Revelation I’ve Ever Had That Changed Pipe Smoking For Me Forever

    I used to retrohale with rolled cigs. With pipes I don't like it as much. Weirdly I get less flavor and more ash notes.

    The Biggest Revelation I’ve Ever Had That Changed Pipe Smoking For Me Forever

    fun thing for me at least. Is I never or almost never get the nuance on the first smoke of a new blend. So I still get a little bit of that magical wow when I have smoked a bowl or two of a new blend.

    The Biggest Revelation I’ve Ever Had That Changed Pipe Smoking For Me Forever

    That's awesome. Yeah the smoke needs room to flow and breath or something like that. Funny would have never thought someone would need this advice, because it's something I never thought of. Which means you get to have the joy of soon knowing you've helped some other random person enjoy...

    A Satisfying Finish

    is it one or the other. Probably both. A pipe is very gestalt.

    Made An Order To Missouri Meerschaum

    Which is good because I am a custom job, a one off. There are no choice of features.

    Post-first-bowl thoughts

    So a this is a huge part of why this site exists. Sounds like you've made a good start. As far as risks are concered with buying a used pipe. Mostly they fit into the are you getting what they say they're selling. So at this point don't buy from e-bay but from a site that is dedicated to...

    Made An Order To Missouri Meerschaum

    I don't understand how you can write in French on this forum and not get in trouble for breaking the rules. Weirdly I almost feel like I understand it. Of course just kidding and being a jerk. :)

    Dan Tobacco Salty Dogs No Taste?

    The original post reminds me of my experience with Capstan. A tobacco that I gave away simply because someone asked for it. I mean they also bought a pricy pipe off of me but if it was a tin I wanted to keep I would have.

    Made An Order To Missouri Meerschaum

    So sorry. I hate to say this but if that's the case. You maybe should hit the ignore button for my posts. I am so sorry but I just really suck at grammar. Or alternatively you could give me credit I don't deserve and pretend I am using grammar at a higher and more esoteric level and spend all...

    Is Gawith and Hoggarth/ Sam Gawith the new Esoterica?

    Nope. I don't chase unicorns. And I've never had any esoterica at least not pipe tobacco ;), I have some Gaiwith in the rotation and either have to delay the orders a bit and wait or try another one. I don't need notifications I can just check myself cause it won't be a tiny window to get them...

    Same Model, Same Finish, Different Color, more Expensive?

    yes and one theory that's been floated accurately for some brands. Is the briar is considered better somehow on one pipe and black stains are used more often on less ideal grains. Not saying that's how it works but sometimes it does.
