    Chronic wet smoker

    I use the chips and Ive never had wet dottle...none. Get the tobacco off the floor of the chamber and it stays dry. I reuse the chips until they get lost.

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2025?***

    Firing up some Red Headed Ed in a Kai Brandy. Its mighty tasty. If you have some HU Edward G and some Janneman try mixing about a third of janneman in with Ed G.

    Sadly an old name. Ryan Quaglata made pipes for a few years and stopped. He did some wonderful work.

    So... What OTHER Hobbies Occupy Your Time?

    This is the end product after some finish and I built a little stand to hold the electronics portion from scraps under the saw.

    What Were Your Go-To Tobacco’s in 2025?

    HU Edward G HU Directors Cut HU Old Fredders Reiners Long Golden Flake Petes DNR I need to break out the latakia. Probably Quiet Nights. Sometimes I add some Janneman Flake to Ed G for a touch of red. Red makes everything better!

    Chronic wet smoker

    Try some meer chips or keystones. In the least it will keep the tobacco off the chamber floor and dry. If the tobacco is still wet you know its not from you as a source.

    Understanding Moisture

    There is a lot of magical thinking in almost every hobby/endeavor. Absolutes are rare. You are right, there will always be moisture but there is no point in adding insult to injury. I think paratially dry is a good thing. Ive not been a fan of bone dry. You just have to experiment to...

    Black Friday Shopping

    Nothing I actually would like to have was on sale. Im probably better off anyway.

    Quiet Nights Help...

    I think the thing that makes QN stand out is its juniper pine flavor that runs along side of the lat. For me it offeres a different voice. That said, lat is so strong that, unless you are chasing something specific, many good lats can take the place of another. I say that with full...

    Ends of the Bowls Getting Acrid

    Meer chips do the same thing. I dont know where you live and how hard it is to get certain products. Honestly, I make my own chips. My wife gardens so there are always broken flower pots around. I clean them, beat the red clay pieces to chip size, toss them in a collander and rinse them. I...

    Ends of the Bowls Getting Acrid

    Keystones, meer chips and also drying your tobacco a bit more. Those things will help. Reguardless, the bottom part usually is not as nice as the upper portions of the bowl for me but they are rarely terrible. Additionally, if you smoke fast and hot it will get more nasties than a well paced...

    So... What OTHER Hobbies Occupy Your Time?

    Ive always owned open backs. Its especially important to me now. Ive lost most the hearing in one ear. Focused speakers just dont work for me. I need to fill the space. Im not at all professional. I just enjoy playing at playing jazz. This cab would not be something Id want to carry...

    So... What OTHER Hobbies Occupy Your Time?

    I wouldnt say woodworking is a hobby but a means to an end that I enjoy. This project needs a final clear coat of finish but its an oak 12 inch speaker cabinet I made this week.

    An Unusual Crack

    I think Speakeasy has it right. Its end grain so you have limited glue strength. Looks like a good project for your metal work.

    Unsmokable

    Ha, I would have never thought of it not being all the way drilled but that makes sense. Perhaps a Monday pipe.
