Pipe Cleaners?
I never would've imagined when I started this journey just exactly how fast I would burn up pipe cleaners or how much they could vary from brand to brand. Heck I wasn't really even aware they came in the none colored art project variety. That said It's time once again to order more and...- HopHand

Blends Everybody Should Try Once?
Just for curiosity's sake. What are some tobacco blends you personally believe all pipe smokers should try at least once before they leave this world? And if you have a reason other than it's yummy why? In my limited experience it would have to be the famous codger blends. Only cause I've seen...- HopHand

Yes the obvious and simple solution is ether drink more liquids or find a different blend. I'm just kinda curious how frequently this occurs for others?

Is Tongue Bite Over Hyped?
How much of a reality for most is tongue bite? Is this something limited in some way to new or light smokers? Are some people immune?
