An Alternative Technique to Avoid Tongue Bite
When you refer to "tongue bite," do you mean a burnt tongue, as most people do when they talk about bite? I've burnt my tongue many a time, but only experienced what I think was a bit of "tongue bite" once in six years of smoking pipes. It felt like a tiny wasp had stung the tip of my tongue...- Lumbridge

Small, Medium, Large Tins Or Bulk Preference
I do buy tins, but usually as a one-off just to try something. Tinned blends are too expensive for me to really stock up on. Bulk is my preference, which I heat seal in mylar. Anything I'm currently smoking through goes in wide mouth jars.- Lumbridge

The Tobacco Purge — Why?
A lot of people who don't understand slow smoking complain about Haunted Bookshop tasting like cigarettes or ash. Yeah, Haunted Bookshop is so nasty. So very gross and disgusting and overrated. Definitely don't buy any, because you won't like it... because it's nasty. Ew. I'll just take one for...- Lumbridge

The Tobacco Purge — Why?
Sometimes demand just outstrips supply. Based on what I've read, sometimes the supply of certain types and grades of tobacco can be limited, and it takes blenders a while to restock the components for a blend. People see a blend they've been waiting for a restock on for months and they jump on...- Lumbridge

Converting a non-filter pipe to filter?
The stuff people put in their pipes, yeesh... rice, sour cream, camel excrement... Rather than rice, one can use much cheaper tobacco like that intended for RYO. It tends to be very dry and readily absorbs moisture and tars from the tobacco burning above it, acting as a filter of sorts and...- Lumbridge

Converting a non-filter pipe to filter?
Respectfully, "Why would you want to do that?" is never a helpful contribution on any forum thread asking a question about modifications. The OP surely has their own reasons for wanting to do so, and it's frustrating when one asks a question and receives responses of "Y tho?" rather than ones...- Lumbridge

Do You Own a Pipe 5” or Less in Length?
Only some cobs - a Morgan and a Devil Cutty, which are my pocket pipes. I prefer longer stemmed pipes, though honestly I don't notice a huge difference in smoke temperature between a nosewarmer and a churchwarden.- Lumbridge

I Ordered What?
You know it's time for a TAD intervention when you wake up next to a big fat pile of tobacco that you don't remember ordering the night before.- Lumbridge

Slow Server Response
Today it seems fine. A few days ago I had issues with pages taking close to a minute to load. It was pretty cool - kind of a nostalgic throwback to the glory days of dialup and getting kicked off Ultima Online by a telemarketer call.- Lumbridge

Current Latakia Production
Now you can put smoked Turkey Turkish in your pipe. What a time to be alive. While there's hearsay that Turkish latakia is already showing up in blends, I'd bet that blenders still have a significant amount of Cyprian on hand. Perhaps in a few years, there will be people shelling out the big...- Lumbridge

Any Thoughts On C&D Redburn?
I never buy large quantities of any blend without smoking some from a small tin or bulk ounce first. I definitely agree with the others that it's a good idea to get a 2oz before committing to the 1lb block. Redburn is one I've been looking forward to trying as well along with Night Train and...- Lumbridge

Candle light
I've always heard them called spills. Google "cedar spill" and you'll see what I'm talking about. When I smoked cigars regularly, I would make my own by taking the unfinished inner lining pieces from cedar cigar boxes and just split them into thin strips with a knife. I got free boxes from a B&M...- Lumbridge

Candle light
This is basically what is known as a "spill" in the cigar world. Basically it's like using a match that doesn't have a striking head and must be lit from another source of flame. You might consider a less flammable surrounding for the candle, maybe a tall tin can or something, and I definitely...- Lumbridge

Tobacco Storage In Pouch?
I bought my very first pipe tobacco (a pouch of Captain Black regular) at a place like that. I got lucky and my pouch was super fresh. A lot of those shops that sell vape stuff and glass "tobacco" pipes etc. may also carry a few generic pipe tobaccos, but it's definitely a gamble as it's likely...- Lumbridge

An Expensive Case of Buyers Remorse
Sure, an auction is an auction. The comment about price gouging was more of an extension of what I had previously said. I have a bad habit of letting my comments become a somewhat rambling stream of consciousness; perhaps I owe that to all the "codger" blends I smoke making me more codgerly.- Lumbridge
