How to Deep Clean my Pipe?
I enjoy his videos. Unfortunately, my dad and my grandpa, who both smoked pipes, are gone. As such, I have no mentor for pipe smoking. It's just been trial and error along with this forum and YouTube videos. I find he always makes sure to let people know that he's just showing how he does things...- Cpt._GreyBeard

How to Deep Clean my Pipe?
Thank you for all the advice. I am a bit confused. I smoke at the most (on weekends) 5 or 6 bowls a day. Is it not okay to use the same pipe throughout the day? How long should I let the pipe rest before using it again? To answer some questions; I don't consider myself a wet smoker. I sometimes...- Cpt._GreyBeard

How to Deep Clean my Pipe?
I began my journey into the art of pipe smoking about 3 months ago. I have 3 pipes which I rotate. Each has a respectable cake buildup in the bowls and I keep them clean by using pipe cleaners every time I smoke. Recently, I began noticing on 2 of my pipes a sour taste to the tobacco (I smoke...- Cpt._GreyBeard

A Question About Different Types of Tobaccos
In my youth, I fondly remember my Grandfather and his pipes. Especially his meerschaum pipe carved into the likeness of Uncle Sam. I am unsure what type of tobacco he smoked, whether he stuck to a particular brand, or if he enjoyed many different types. What I do remember was that each time he...- Cpt._GreyBeard

Hello! I am familiar with Waterbury, my brother lived in Oakville for many years. Can you recommend any good tobacco shops in the area? I used to go to The Callabash Shop in Hamden but I guess they closed years ago.- Cpt._GreyBeard

LOL. posted that last reply before I read this. I was right! A bolt-action fan, huh? I prefer semi-auto myself. That's all I'll say about that. Drifting off topic and that particular one we drifted to is touchy....- Cpt._GreyBeard

I'm guessing you mean firearms. Am I correct? My first pistol was a Ruger P89 made in Southport, CT. We used to have a huge firearm industry here but alas, they all fled to more business-friendly states.- Cpt._GreyBeard

Thank you for your service! It surprises me too that so Yale grads would not apply for a commission. My daughter is starting to look at colleges now. I am on the fence with this one. On the one hand I hate to deny her an education but on the other hand I am extremely weary of the political...- Cpt._GreyBeard

Hello smokers! I am new to the art of pipe smoking. Actually, this is my 2nd time getting into it. The first time I was a 20 year old kid and although I really enjoyed it, I was told I looked silly smoking a pipe at that age. Now I am 49 years old and 2 things have happened. 1, I no longer...- Cpt._GreyBeard
