    Cursed Pipe Won't Smoke

    Small draft hole seems to be the consensus by a landslide. I have all the necessary tools, so I'll try some tinkering and report back with the results.

    Cursed Pipe Won't Smoke

    A pipe cleaner passes through easily enough, but a doubled up pipe cleaner will barely fit. Most of my pipes will fit a folded in half pipe cleaner relatively easily.

    Cursed Pipe Won't Smoke

    It does have a relatively small draft hole.

    Cursed Pipe Won't Smoke

    I hope so. My favorite pipe of similar shape and size was a well used estate find from ebay. It just occurred to me that maybe the new one is absorbing and dispersing too much heat, because it doesn't have any cake yet.

    Cursed Pipe Won't Smoke

    I had been having some success with English blends recently, so a couple weeks ago I bought a few new ones to try out. I also got a new pipe, an Old German Clay "Basic Briar" large billiard. I chose it because of it's close similarity to my favorite pipe for latakia blends, which is also a...

    Unexpected Nicotine Sickness

    I've been nic sick from OGS twice. In my case it wasn't on an empty stomach, but my tolerance is probably pretty low. The only other tobacco that has done it to me is Old Dark Fired. The antidote is sugar. I keep some candy in my bag of pipe paraphernalia just in case, which has saved my...

    What Kind Of Pipe Smoker Are You?

    Years smoking, a pipe- Technically started 13 years ago, but been smoking regularly for a year. Do you combine your pipe smoking with other forms of tobacco consumption? Cigars, snuff, etc. if so, which form of consumption do you lean to - No, but I have combined it with cannabis, which can...

    Pipe Rotation and Blend Advice/Recommendations?

    I mostly smoke my 3 favorite pipes. I use one mostly for latakia blends, but sometimes burleys. One is for mostly burleys, but sometimes aromatics. And one is for mostly aromatics, but sometimes burleys. I wouldn't smoke a cherry aromatic in my latakia pipe, but I have no hard and fast...

    Favorite Codger Blend

    My favorite is a bulk match version of Carter Hall, definitely going to pick up a tub of the real stuff when I run low. It's in my regular rotation and I smoke it more than anything else. Rarely go a week without it. It seems to re-center my palate when latakia blends or aromatics lose their...

    Real Men Don't Use Emojis

    I use emojis sometimes when texting women. It helps to convey "tone of voice" in written form. Without them, women sometimes have a habit of reading a tone into things that wasn't intended, so emojis can help with that.

    Recommendations Needed On English-Aro Crossovers

    I tried some Sutliff 504C Aromatic English recently and liked it. I thought I had seen it described as more aromatic and less English, but it seemed the other way around to me. More like an English with some extra subtle sweetness, but your mileage may vary. I liked it much more than HGL.

    Hot Dogs.

    Just made some hotdogs tonight. Didn't feel like lighting the grill, so I fried them up in some butter until they were nicely browned. Then threw in some sliced onions and sauteed until they were starting to soften, and then some sauerkraut and a splash of beer. Kept it cooking until most of...

    PipesAndCigars.Com: Are They Trustworthy?

    I've ordered from them 3 times, and had no issues. They have some things that I like that I can't get anywhere else.

    Aftertaste

    I started to like it after a few months.

    Nicotine Absorption

    I feel like I get 75% of the nicotine from the last 25% of the bowl. Maybe even 80/20. The time it takes to kick in could be a factor, but I never feel any obvious effects unless I finish the bowl.

    Retrohaling

    I literally just exhale through my nose with smoke in my mouth, and the smoke comes out my nose. I never could understand why some people find it difficult. Trouble breathing through the nose generally? Maybe I'm just lucky.

    Post Covid Tasting Change

    I can't speak to the flavor of pipe tobacco, since I didn't have much experience with it pre-covid, but my flavor experience of certain things has definitely changed. Some herbs, particularly thyme and oregano, seem stronger and harsher to me now. And I used to like those strong "ginger beer"...

    What Do You Do?

    Used to be a logger, tried raising cattle for a while but that was a disaster. Now I'm a professional leatherworker. Which is why I stick to bulk blends, cobs, and cheap estate pipes. :LOL:

    Pack Like Drinking Through a Straw?

    I'm finally just beginning to figure it out myself, and I find that descriptions of how much resistance there should be on the draw are completely useless. I just stuff some in and gauge it by how springy it is, but it varies hugely depending on the cut of tobacco, moisture level and the...

    What if There's a Fly in Your Pint Glass?

    My cousin had a fit once when there was a fly in a bottle of home brew I gave him. Could have been worse, at least it wasn't a mouse.
