    Another Breaking-in-a-Cob Thread

    Thanks, folks. I've been smoking it for a while now, and it smokes pretty well. It's just getting the dottle out of all those nooks and crannies (realizing that my one pipe has an abnormally small spoon and abnormally large gaps) is such a pain.

    Tip for Searching the Forums

    In case you haven't noticed, the site's search function doesn't always yield the best results. Google, however, has a site search function that allows you to search just one given site. Just type site:pipesmagazine.com/forums into Google before whatever you're searching for. For example, here's...

    Another Breaking-in-a-Cob Thread

    Apparently, that big wooden mess at the bottom of a MM cob is supposed to be there, even though it makes smoking to the bottom of the bowl and cleaning it afterwards a pain in the tuchus. Do y'all think that filling the gaps between the spoon and the sides of the bowl with pipe mud would work? I...

    ***What Are You Smoking, September, 2023?***

    Smoking some Peterson Early Morning Pipe out of my bent bit MM. I'd call it the pipe equivalent of savory. Very nice.

    This would explain what happened when I tried it again today.

    Flake Cut Troubleshooting

    I just got a tin or Orlik Golden Sliced in the mail today, and I was so excited that I smoked it right out of the tin without drying it. It didn't burn wetter or hotter like I would've expected, but it didn't burn all the way to the far edge of the bowl. As it burned down, I would have to scrape...

    No pictures (my phone doesn't do that), but Orlik Golden Sliced. A good recommendation from y'all.

    What do You Enjoy While You Smoke?

    Sitting on the (covered) porch and watching a storm roll through is great. Otherwise, I like to read when I smoke.

    Clenching?

    Thank you, everyone. Once I got the hang of it, I pretty easily clenched for about the last 2/3 of the bowl yesterday. It's the best smoke I've had so far! I think the last think is figuring out where to put my tongue to get the best taste, but that will come with time.

    Clenching?

    Fair enough. Thanks folks.

    Clenching?

    Thanks. What about breathing with the pipe in my mouth in between draws?

    Clenching?

    Up to this point, my habit has been to hold my pipe whenever I'm not actively drawing and only leave it in my mouth when I need two hands for a moment. Seeing all the discussion about clenching on a couple of threads, so I gave it a shot today. It turns out that I'm what y'all call a 'wet...

    Hello from Iowa

    Well, I didn't go on pilgrimage to steal public property, I went on pilgrimage and stole public property. There's a bit of a difference there. I'm afraid there isn't much of a story to tell. There's a cobblestone road right outside of one of the pilgrimage churches. The road was falling apart...

    Hello from Iowa

    Hello everyone, This is me saying hello from Iowa. I first came across this site about a year and a half ago when a friend introduced me to pipe-smoking. I liked it and wanted to learn more, and that led me here. Now, I'm finally stepping out of the shadows and joining the forum. I started...
