    Trouble finishing a bowl

    I've tried the cleaner mid-bowl and it has pulled moisture out of the stem. I'm smoking a couple English blends , a couple buley's and one very light aromatic. I've been working to get all of them dried out as I figured part of my problem was moisture. That's getting better. I'll keep...

    Trouble finishing a bowl

    I've been working to get the tobacco dried out and think just about right now. I don't get gurgling anymore. I'm likely tamping to tightly based on your (alaska) description. I'll try going light like that. I do dump ash mid-way most of the time. I also go in and out on relights after the...

    Trouble finishing a bowl

    I can smoke the first half of the bowl down just fine with an occasional relight. When I get to that half-way point, the thing won't stay lit for anything. I have tried going in with a pin to open the tobacco slightly as well as the spoon on my czech tool to loosen everything up. It seems the...

    Makeshift Travel Kits

    I just purchased this pouch. Not much bigger than a sunglass case and fully self-contained. About $25 at most of the online pipe retailers. [/url][/img] [/url][/img] [/url][/img]

    Just A Pipe

    In the latter half of my 50's and have smoked A cigarette and A cigar before picking up the pipe. Can't stand the smell of cigarettes and most cigars. Now I just need to figure out what the h@## I'm doing. :D

    Aromatic Blends for the Non-Aromatic Smoker

    Lane RLP-6 has a very nice aroma and doesn't taste too much like an aro. Not sure on the nic hit you're looking for though.

    New moisture chamber for humidor

    Thanks for the help jpm. Thanks for trying shanez. Ok. No matter, even if it won't hold for more than a week or so I think it's cool. Maybe I'll hide an airtight canister inside it and still get the aesthetic. Not a lot of room to get the hand in but it would keep the tabac good. Now, jpm...

    New moisture chamber for humidor

    I picked up a tobacco humidor that has a recess in the lid for an Everfresh Humidity chamber. I'm pretty sure they don't make these anymore so does anyone know something that would work in it's place? Anyone know how to refurbish one? TIA P.S. - not sure how to post a picture. didn't work...

    Tobacco Moisture.

    Old thread but think it is pointing me in the right direction. Not getting tongue bite much because I think I'm smoking slow enough (quite a few relights). Flavor-wise all I'm getting is a blob with nothing distinct standing out. Could just be my numb palette but this is over half a dozen...

    Lane 1-Q

    I started out with Captain Black White and Lane 1-Q. No longer smoke the Lane because of tongue bite. Enjoyed the aroma but can't stand the bite.

    New and need to learn

    Hey all, New to the forum and pretty new to pipe smoking. So much nomenclature I don't understand so hoping to get educated. Too many choices in pipes and tobaccos to know which way to turn. Looking forward to interacting and, hopefully, meeting some local SE VA pipe smokers. Best, Dude
