    Screens

    Granted, but smoking pipes had almost every kind of gimmick you can imagine. Filters, stingers, carburetors, double bowls, mag tops, even saw one with a rubber hose that you were supposed to install in your car dash to puff on while you were driving. Few/No screen ads might have been...

    Screens

    You can use a screen, there is no problem with it, it can help make sure there is an air pocket and nothing is compacted at the bottom of the bowl and often makes the smoke cooler and easier. I think the idea that screens are kind of like training wheels is very apt description. Protect? Nah I...

    The Miracle of Briar

    So I read that the briar burls come from fungal tumors on white heath roots? Is that correct?

    Jar Size to Tobacco Amount Ratio

    This is exactly what I do for the exact same reasons.

    Tongue Bite, Smoking Technique, and 9MM Activated Charcoal Filters

    It's funny, this is exactly how I approach, and is the primary advice I give to new people who want to give it a try. I tell them it's like a little bit of a tightrope walk, a little game you're playing, you want to try to stay juust barely lit, but without scorching and without going out - BUT...

    Drying Tobacco in a Humid Climate?

    Ohh damn that's a really good idea! I actually already have a few of those and use them intermittently for keeping my coffee fix working all day. Thank you, that is great and I never would have thought of it!

    Drying Tobacco in a Humid Climate?

    That's a good idea, I might try that. Thank you. Does this really work? ?

    Tongue Bite, Smoking Technique, and 9MM Activated Charcoal Filters

    Beginners perspective here, when I started I had often underestimated how important the physical properties of the tobacco itself were when considering the quality of the smoke. Everything from how it's cut, it's moisture level, how it's prepared, what exact variety it is, if/how it's rubbed...

    Drying Tobacco in a Humid Climate?

    I keep a really accurate hydrometer running in my living room at all times. Currently reading 58.7%. If I leave my tobacco out to dry, as commonly recommended, it would probably double in weight Haha! As I've started to notice a bit of sizzle and bite at the end of my smokes, I was wondering if...

    Nic-Kick - What is it like?

    Nah you don't have to fast on keto, it's just the name to describe a metabolic state where your body produces ketones and turns to burning fat instead of sugar to get energy. However, because of how it works, because it burns fat and lots of people are on keto for weight loss, and because keto...

    Nic-Kick - What is it like?

    I have done intermittent keto for about a decade now. It's the medical version of the diet, not the culinary version. When I'm on I am something like 10-20 net per day, very strict about it. I also haven't noticed a difference in smoke, though I notice the difference severely with other things...

    Nic-Kick - What is it like?

    So what's the theory on how this interacts with something like keto where your body is basically starved of sugars and is adapted to burn fat?

    Favourite Drink Pairing?

    Coffee always number one goto, will work with literally anything, brown ale, or blonde, as a second, can work with aros or english, bourbon or brandy if I'm really feeling it, non aros only, and sometimes I just want Captain black and some miller lite.

    Have You Quit Pipe Smoking In the Past, and Why?

    I quit every day, then start again after I wake up.

    How Much do You Keep on Hand?

    Maybe they're optimistic they'll hit something magical that they wouldn't otherwise ?

    How Much do You Keep on Hand?

    Honestly, if/when SHTF those lbs of tobacco will probably serve you better than shiny metals or US savings bonds. ?

    Nausea

    I haven't smoked anything considered a strong blend, but happy to take recommendations. Almost any blends that are commonly recommended are medium at best. My strongest go-to right now is Peter Stokkebye Luxury English.

    Frank Method Rocks

    I prefer to lay out a prime number of individual strands into layers of hexagonal mesh, then use modeling software to run simulations on optimal lighting configuration based on relative humidity, VIX volatility index, and Saturn's retrograde status. I call it the TimeKiller method.
