    Bad Tobacco ?

    Wrong venue for that, I'm thinkin'...no, wait--there's a lawyer from Missouri here that indulges in similar. (Poor guy. He can't afford no better none. Tsk, tsk.)

    Bad Tobacco ?

    Actually, no. Maybe choose only a ribbon cut, to start. No idea what your tastes are. Grab a pouch of Carter Hall and tell what you dislike about it, if anything. A cacophony of expert advice will then ensue. Some of it might even be useful.

    Tobacco Storage In Pouch?

    I leave those open pouches of this or that in my car all the time. The heat of the summer and the cold of the winter don't seem to affect it much. There's a reason for propylene glycol in these popular blends. I wouldn't worry about it, unless you're talking three or four months of it being...

    What Would You Suggest?

    Send it to George Dibos with a signed blank check.

    What Does “System” Pipe Mean?

    I'm not a great fan of system Petes, but I do like my Mark Twain and one other. The cleaning, which is a bit of a ritual, is not really a big deal. Read the SP article posted above. I've never had the reservoir backflow, unless I'm doing somersaults or standing on my head while clenching the...

    Anyone Recognize this Pipe?

    That vaguely reminds of something I read on this very site. What you may have there, sir, is possibly one of the greatest smoking pipes ever to exist, made of pure Algerian briar, the finest on the planet. If I'm not mistaken, a pipe exactly like that was smoked by the late great Saint...

    Shaving Hack

    Those Old Spice mugs aren't all the same diameter. I have two that are quite different. Strange that I have them, because I never use them. But whatever works for ya'.

    Absolute Mildest Nicotine With Latakia and/or Orientals

    Use the tobacco finder on Smoking Pipe's site would be my suggestion. Your take on Presbyterian seems odd.

    Do You Rotate your Pipes?

    I tend to smoke the same pipe until it becomes repugnant, then realize I should clean it and let it rest for a while. If I had to take a pipe apart and clean it after every bowl, I would be exclusively a cigar smoker. I do bathe daily, though, if anyone wonders.

    I wish I Could Smoke my Pipes.

    I thought I had COPD a few months ago. Wheezing and coughing while trying to go to sleep, etc. I thought I might either see a doctor about it, or stop smoking while reading in bed in a supine position propped up with pillows, a favorite pastime of mine for decades. Screw the fire hazard. (Don't...

    Any Pipe-Related OCD Tendency?

    I like 'em lined up straight, whether on a rack or in a drawer. Other than that, I'm a pig, as far as proper care and concern go.

    B&M Cob Score - What's Your Latest Score?

    Virginia Beach, 1980s. B&M going out of business. Dunhill pipes cheap, <100 bucks. Should have bought a sackful, but only acquired one. Didn't have the PAD monkey on my back at the time.

    The Love of Small Pipes

    I like smaller pipes that take a folded flake perfectly. Just slide it in, know what I mean? Burns forever, which negates the short smoke premise, I reckon. I have no other use for them. The middle pipe below fits a folded Mac Baren's Navy Flake perfectly. Think the bore is .70" or less, which...

    The Joy of a new Zippo

    I love Zippos. I buy a new one once in a while if I see one that's interesting, then stash it in a drawer, but I'm not a collector. Let's just say I'll never run out of new Zippos in my lifetime. Reminds me of knives. Always good to have a few extra knives on hand, just in case of Armageddon or...

    Briar Stems Anyone?

    French pipes, yes. Briar stems, no. They do look cool, though. Very pleasing to the eye. I would just have a regular stem made for it, and keep the briar one for display. Or maybe use those much hated rubber bit protectors. I find that stick-to-itself tape works rather well for this.

    Danish Sir Walter Raleigh

    Is the aromatic also FUBARed? Anyone know? If so, another favorite of mine bites the dust. I'm just getting over the loss of Walnut and am starting to take this b.s. personally.

    1953 Dunhill #59 Tanshell --- Back From the Dead

    Stunning stem replacement. Looks better than original, if that's possible. Or desired.

    What Foodstuffs Best Define the Place Where You Live?

    Garbage plate. Almost every mid-scale eatery in the Rochester NY area offers this delicacy. A connoisseur's delight for growin' boys and drunks of all kinds. Get the original at Nick Tahous on West Main, if you're good at dodging the occasional bullet.

    Crack in my Morta chamber

    I've had far worse happen with briar, probably due to my smoking too hot. I just keep smoking them and nothing happens. I don't believe in putting a barricade between the wood and the tobacco. Why not just smoke clay? Or meerschaum? (I know nothing about morta, and probably never will.)
