    Cherrywood Troubleshooting

    I've heard both theories, that you should smoke carefully to the bottom AND that you shouldn't smoke all the way down at all. At the very least, most advise against relighting the little bit of tobacco at the very bottom of the pipe as this is more inclined to burn the pipe. Although most of my...

    Cherrywood Troubleshooting

    Peterson also, as well as Milano, Dr. Grabow and Crown briars, besides the oddball corncob and clay Jamestown. As I've said several times, the issue isn't smoking in general, it's that cherry wood as a material is new to me.

    Cherrywood Troubleshooting

    🏆 Here is your award for most useless comment on this thread LOL I've been smoking mainly reputable briars up to this point(10 years give or take) and thus consider myself decently well-versed with them. I also stated that this was my first attempt with pipes made of cherry and was hoping to...

    The CB is quite good actually, I'm enjoying it. Paid about $15 for a 1.75 oz tin from PipesandCigars.com if you're interested!

    Cherrywood Troubleshooting

    I would say the walls of these three are decently thick but there is definitely a difference in density and weight compared to my briar pipes bowls of comparable size.

    Cherrywood Troubleshooting

    I certainly wouldn't bet my life on it but I don't have any evidence to prove otherwise. As I said, these are my first pipes made of cherry wood so I don't even have a good frame of reference for whether these are normal complications or not. I actually have reached out and to their credit...

    Cherrywood Troubleshooting

    I wouldn't say I "prefer" to smoke hotter bowls, I've just had my instances of carelessness where they burned hotter than I was intending. However with these cherry pipes, my issue is that I've intentionally been monitoring the heat of the bowls and have still ended up with burning, hence my...

    Cherrywood Troubleshooting

    This is correct; to clarify to anyone asking, I am referring to the material used, not the shape of the pipe. As I've said, I've never had this severe an issue with briar wood.

    Old Soul in Virginia

    Hello all, thanks for having me. I have been smoking pipes and cigars since college about 10 years ago when my roommate introduced me to the hobby and now it's part of my life. I enjoy Churchwardens specifically and am currently working my way through a tin of Capstan Blue in honor of JRR...

    Cherrywood Troubleshooting

    I was being sure to hold them by the bowls precisely to keep tabs on the heat. It seems no matter how quickly I attempt to stop overheating or if there is even any overheating to the touch, I still end up with burn spots.

    Cherrywood Troubleshooting

    Hello and Happy New Year, I am looking for troubleshooting advice regarding a set of cherrywood Churchwarden pipes I recently purchased from MacQueen. They are "Lord of the Rings" inspired designs and I was very excited to use them but I've been having issues with burnout and fissures which I...
