    Dr. Reamlove, or How I Learned to Not be Afraid of Reaming

    Title edited for capitalization. Rule 9. -jpm This was my first time reaming my own bowl, and I like many others read all the "this is scary what do I do?!" posts which also came with an even mix of "just do it, it's fine!" and "holy crap are you crazy?! you'll destroy your pipe forever, don't...

    Latakia Cigarette? (Making My Own)

    I heard recently of an old brand of cigarettes that actually had latakia in it. It piqued my curiosity so I picked up some C&D blending Latakia and a pouch of PS Norweigan cigarette tobacco. I'm drying out the latakia like crazy and I'm going to add it in small amounts at a time and see what...

    Pipe Mud Question

    Hey everyone, I've got a MM Charles Towne Cobbler, it came with a pretty decent gap in front of an under the draft hole which usually leaves a little pile of unsmokable leaves. I finally decided that I was tired of the "loss" and to try and pipe mud the gap. This is my first time even making...

    Fantastic Savinelli Tune-Up By SATX Pipe

    I recently sent my Savinelli Venezia 506 out to Blake at SATX pipe to have it cleaned up de-caked and polished, and I have the say the results were great! This pipe was my first non-basket pipe purchase, I’ve had it for 12 years. The pipe is sentimental for me and I was very sad at the loss of...

    A Very Good 30th Birthday

    Shameless brag post here, but I wanted to share that I’m having a very good 30th. Started with a wonderful breakfast with my wife and hike with our dog. Now I’ve opened and Am sitting down to enjoy a 29 year old McClelland blend on my porch. Thought it would be appropriate to burn something that...

    In Which Pipe Do You Sail Your Navy (Flake)?

    I was taking out my jar of G.L. Pease Sextant this afternoon; which I usually smoke in one of my MM cobs. I wanted to try it out in one of my briars and the question hit me, what should I smoke this in?! It strikes me that Navy flakes in general are mostly VA’s with a touch or so of Latakia. Do...

    Mold again!? But really is this mold?

    Hey all, Went to smoke my mason jarred Esoterica Dunbar, and found this.... To me, it doesn't look super green or blue, it's pretty white, and the jar still smells amazing, no musty/moldy smells. Is this mold or that good stuff?! Thanks!
