    Rajahs Court

    I smoked GP quite nights and was blown away by it!. I think I narrowed it down to loving Balkans. Tonight I will try pirate kake for the latkia experience.

    Where Am I with What I Like?

    Had my first bowl of quiet nights and holy hell I was memorized. So far my best smoke to date. I think I narrowed it down to loving Balkans. Tonight I am going to smoke pirate kake to explore the latkia heavier tobacco world.

    Robo Calls

    Twice now I have had 2 robo calls where someone was on the line. They kept saying they wanted to talk to Lucas about a business deal. My name isn't Lucas. I just kept saying "who," sometimes pausing 10-20 seconds. Once in awhile I would add in names like "who, gillus." It reminded me of...

    Recent Memorable Smokes

    Sorry hit send to soon. There was a candle on picnic table that I sat on. The smoke danced through the air. I felt like I was in the movie the hobbit. One of the guys has autism, 30 yr old. I made jokes about for 10 shillings I would go on a quest. Him and I laughed throughout the night...

    Recent Memorable Smokes

    2 months ago I got the Missouri Meerschaum wizard pipe, churchwarden. I filled the massive bowl with Mac Baren Vanilla Cream because I was around a lot of friends n the wife. On first smoke, my senses were full force, even vision. Every exhale back into the pipe produced a large smoke...

    Pear-Wood or Corn Cob for Beginner?

    This just happened to me the first time a week ago. It was the filter that came with a new briar churchwarden I bought. I used the metal reamer on my pipe tamper (or toothpick). I was able to keep inserting it around the sides of the filter and then pulled it out. Also make sure your pipe...

    Hello! And How Do You Rotate Your Pipes?

    I am worse then my wife shopping for a bikini. This is not stressful, it's exciting. I have aro and English dedicated pipes. I either pick the pipe then the tobacco or vise versa. Size depends on my time. My morning n last are always my best. I try all different combos to keep it...

    Breath Technique Question

    Take sips of water or whatever drink u like. It happens to me most with a clencher and walking around doing things. Hand holding pipes may also decrease this. FYI I am an anesthesia nurse. Smokers produce an incredible amount of saliva. Multiple shot glasses worth. Like said before, saliva...

    Two Pipes: How Should I Divide Tobacco Between Them?

    If you smoke a lot of bowls a day get a couple cheaper cobs. I have a handful of aro and non pipes dedicated. Not sure on ghosting yet but my English blends aren't that powerful. I have one cob I put everything in and no issues. I haven't had Lakeland yet. I forget the exact price but these...

    If You Can’t Taste the Nuances…

    Man a lot of stuff going on. In the beginning to present, I read the description and reviews several times over several bowls of a new tobacco. For me the intricate wording can spark a word to connect with your senses. Some think some English blends smell and taste soapy. Let's say you see...

    If You Can’t Taste the Nuances…

    I am confused on post, assuming the title is the question. I actually like the smell before the taste, when good together I buy more. Retro or tiny nasal inhales on a sipping pipe is glorious. Taste I think is harder to get, I have a very hard time. Some aro bombs and English is where I...

    New to the Pipe Scene

    Car= I cuff my hand 3/4 curve around and closed fingers, pinky and ring holding bowl and middle to thumb above. Think trying to light a cig in wind except hand is by your face. This prevents/reduces flying ash and most importantly your eyes. I have a jeep, put top down and can do this driving...

    What Do You Use for a 5-Minute Smoking Break

    I agree with the purists on slow smoking. I am also addicted to nicotine. It's rare occasions for me to get a quick nic hit from a pipe. Ex all day with the wife at stores so I have my 4$ Missouri Meerschaum wood pipe to basically fulfill a cig break time limit. It's always my cheapest and...

    Where Am I with What I Like?

    Yea i do love the homework. Once I buy the bombs I am hoping to narrow down what I am experiencing. With the English I notice differences but also similarities if that makes sense. The English oriental also have similarities but my senses are hit on every level. I will be ordering a lot of...

    Stubby Corn Cob

    These are my 3 babies and they smoke unbelievable well and for a good long while. The bottom one is a churchwarden Missouri Meerschaum, wizard, in the cobbit collection. It is amazing! Smooth, cool smoke and it chugs like a freight train. If you have 30$ it may change your life forever.

    How Much Do You Smoke?

    A LOT, all day one after another when I am not working and don't have to go out. I started with 1 brier pipe, had a hard time resting it. Let it cool,, Cleaned it often then packed again. Bought a 2nd, a dr watson on Amazon, smoked the 2 even more. Found tobbacopipes.com and started...
