    MLB What Do You Think?

    MLB has made a lot of improvements over the past decade to make it a better experience for the fan. Most of the childish "intent to injure" plays have been removed, particularly spiking into 2nd and the collisions at home plate. Video challenge has removed the really bad calls from the game...

    How Many Bowls In a Tin?

    An average of sized pipe would be what, 19mm x 35mm? That is around 2.5 grams of ribbon or 3.5 grams of flake. So 20 bowls of ribbon and 15 of flake.

    How Many Bowls In a Tin?

    I find it impossible to calculate this due to pipe size variation but I get about 30min of smoking per gram, so 12-15 hours per ounce.

    Are Pipe "Innovations" Just Marketing Gimmicks?

    6mm balsa, 9mm charcoal, Brigham distilators, different bit materials, falcon pipes, P-lip, army mount, oil curing, bowl coating, and system pipes could all have been considered "gimmicks". Some things resonate with the consumer, some things don't.

    Why dry?

    I used to pull tobacco out of my jar and put it on a plate. When it was at what I thought to be the correct moisture I would load the bowl and the rest stayed on the plate till later. What I discovered was that the bowl I packed later with the leftovers from the plate smoked and tasted better...

    How Often do You use Your Favorite Pipe(s)?

    My shiny newly purchased pipes get smoked two or even three days in a week and I usually smoke a single pipe all day and evening. Once I buy a new favorite pipe the previous new one usually gets used once day week or less. I sound like a toddler with a full toy chest and grandparents that spoil...

    Stainless Steel Bowl?

    Probably not any worse than a clay pipe.

    Anyone Tamp With a Finger?

    Nearly always tamp the char light with my finger but mostly use a tamper after that.

    Do you Dump Ash Mid-smoke?

    I dump 1/2 way through most of the time. The last half of the bowl taste much better if I do.

    Pear-Wood or Corn Cob for Beginner?

    I would recommend a decent cob if you are okay with how they look. To me, cob pipes are like sweat pants. I wear them when no one's around to see me wearing them.

    Aging MacBaren Virginia No. 1: Tongue Bite?

    I see all the comments about technique and cadence but I can feel my mouth going numb after about three puffs when I smoke any of the Macbaren blends that I have tried. I've tried all the way from tin fresh to bone dry and even with a filter. Something in their blends just doesn't agree with my...

    Opinions on Kiribi lighters

    The only complaint I have about mine is that I have to remove the bottom plate every time I fill it. For some reason the nozzle of the butane I use (colibri) isn't long enough to fill it. None of the attachments that come with the can helps it any. I have a 4th generation lighter and don't have...

    Short Smoke Breaks and Strong Tobacco

    Thats a term for single hit pot "pipes".

    Brigham Pipes

    I have three of the 09 shapes (straight apple) and love the way they smoke. I will be adding make in the future when something catches my eye. I use the distillators. They can be smoked without but I find the draw to be too lopen without and they are harder to keep clean without the insert...

    4Noggins

    They tend to not fill orders very quickly and the correspondence is really slow but it always arrives and the quality of product and packaging is fine. Basically, if I order from them I don't expect it to ship until a week after the order is made. If I resign myself to that delay there is no...

    Anybody Find Small Pipes a PIA to Smoke?

    I like smaller pipes for when I smoke dark fired or similarly really nic heavy blends.
