    Www.tobaccoreviews.com

    I just look at reviews from certain individuals who provide useful information. Tobaccoreviews just has a lot of chaff. But information that is not useful to me might be useful to someone else.

    Impressed With HH Latakia Flake

    Just ordered some. Looking forward to trying it. Seems like something I will like. At least I got to try it even if it might not be available anymore.

    That was its intention. Turns out the bench at the end isn’t that comfortable so I just use a chair.

    Remember The Days..

    I have a box of my Dad’s singles he bought out of jukeboxs in the 50’s. They are still some of my most treasured vinyl. I have my Uncle’s record collection from the 40s through 70s. A lot of country classics there.

    Is It Possible To Make Flake At Home

    I’ve pressed whole leaf in a noodle press. I also heated it in the microwave before putting it in the press. I made two ounce pucks. I pressed them for a week, tightening the press every day. I sliced the flakes as soon as I got them out of the press as they were a little softer then. I also put...

    Didn't Worry About Packing and Guess What?

    Well done Mike, you’re on to something! I think the cob might also be part of the secret, they seem quite forgiving. That said, I don’t pay much attention to packing method anymore, just fill the pipe and tamp using feel. I get more consistent results than I ever did blindly following a method.

    Finished a Bowl Using a Single Light

    Agree with those who say the less you try to smoke to the bottom in one light the more it happens. It does seem to happen with certain pipes in my collection more than others but maybe I just know those pipes better.

    Gotta Start On New Year's Resolution.

    The Smoking Shed

    That has been my experience. I do smoke a lot on my deck in the backyard but this is great for poor weather and the winter. A small electric heater works fine to make it warm enough.

    A Sentimental Fool?

    I am also a sentimental fool. I am sure I am not odd or a weirdo, despite certain family members claiming otherwise. When I started smoking a pipe my nephew said it just made me more interesting. I’m sure that is code for “not weird”.

    What Pipes Do You Wish You Had?

    I just got a Baki pipe and a pipe with bamboo so my wish list is a little shorter. I would like a 1941 Dunhill for my Dad’s birth year and another unobtanium, a Brigham Centennial pipe.

    That Wonderful First Couple Hours in the Morning.

    Most of my routines involve building in some alone time before and after interacting with others , useful for an introvert. The early morning is a great time to do it.
