    Show Us Your Most Prized Pipe!

    I only keep a 7-day rotation and have sold off the rest, so it’s easy to look at them and decide. It would have to be my Peterson 313, a gift from my brother. I find that if you are patient and put the time in with any pipe (or thing) and learn to live with it, it’ll be something you...

    Retrohaling

    Retrohaling is a must. But don’t try too hard - once you get more comfortable with the idea, breathing and relaxing while smoking, you’ll get it. Back when I first started it was almost as if I was holding my breath when I drew in on the pipe…no wonder retrohaling was tough and I couldn’t get...

    How Dry Is Too Dry

    I find that you want a bit of “felt” moisture in your straight VAs…otherwise they go flat and tasteless. If the reason for drying tobacco better is less relights, then just forget it. If you’re trying to maximize flavor and sipping as slow as possible, you’ll need to 1: have some moisture in...

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2024?***

    Smoking some 507C in this Peterson Irish Harp 406 that has seen better days. I dunno if this was when QC at Peterson was iffy, but this pipe came to me with so much stain on it you couldn’t even touch it without it coming off. I fired up a bowl and it was like the briar just didn’t want to be...

    House, Outside Or Both?

    I’m in Park Slope currently! West Village and UES are beautiful places, though!

    House, Outside Or Both?

    Here in NYC where I can’t afford to buy a place, I am forced to smoke outside. Sometimes that means a fire escape smoke (don’t tell my landlord), standing in front of my apartment building bracing the oncoming scorn of passersby who think I’m a drug addict, or in the park about as far away from...
