    Is it Just Bad Luck?

    That is ok. I think I got some helpful feedback. Thank you for your replies. I think I am going to just be careful what pipes I buy. I just purchased another Brigham for under $50. I recently purchased their filters for my newly burned pipe. Hope the pipe smoking is nice for those of you who...

    Is it Just Bad Luck?

    So I take it from the list I may be smoking too fierce. Sadly, that is my pace. I did wonder if the briar was defective. I am again using a SOFT lighter. The flame sometimes is an inch and a little long. Still, I guess this is odd. I try to let a pipe cool for a day or so after smoking. I...

    Is it Just Bad Luck?

    I like to puff on my pace. Maybe it could be a bowl to throw out early. But the terrible thing is maybe the tobacco is burning too hot? Who knows. I will limit the rest of my comments. I do hope there can be a comment about whether smoking a tobacco that comes from a lightly humid outdoors may...

    Windy at times. I use a wind cap some of the time. Its not bad. We are not near the ocean. I wonder if some of the tobacco burns harsher than others but still maybe it was just the new pipes.

    I think I do smoke puff by puff. But it has never been trouble before.

    Is it Just Bad Luck?

    Hole clean through back of Savinelli 3mm below the top. Hole in side of Nording on the right did not burn full as I stopped smoking it. But the outside buckled. And such a fine thick briar! Hole in Peterson was midway down on the side by the back. Top side of the Brigham begam a burn to cut...

    We Well. Table outside. Smoker outside. Pipes mostly kept inside. Too much tobacco in two medium boxes today. No need to shuffle back indoors. Don’t steal!

    That is the humdinger. I hate cameras so much I did not bother to take. It was before this forum popped up!

    I'll also note I am using mostly bulk purchased tobacco and sometime more a pouch stored tobacco. The Nording was a Signature Black pipe with the flat sitting bottom. The Savinelli was an Oceano Cherrywood pipe. The Peterson was a sandblasted Dracula dublin. Basically, three very nice pipes.

    Is it Just Bad Luck?

    These are new pipes. I started inspecting them before I light them for defects. So far the last two were ok, but the Roma is an out. I have a new Baraccini which sits fine. I think overall I like my Stanwell. I just bought a second one and hopefully this might be now my brand of choice. Like I...

    I am using a soft flame lighter with a one inch flame.

    Is it Just Bad Luck?

    Hi. I bought several pipes this year. The main reason? They keep burning holes in the briar. I keep my tobacco on my deck outside. I am beginning to wonder if this is the problem. I lost a Nording after one week smoking, I lost a Savinelli after one week. I lost a Peterson after one week...
