How Does Freezing Weather Affect Tobacco
I also leave tobacco in my truck with no ill affects. But wildly swinging temperatures will play hell on your pipe, especially the bit to tang connection on a brier.- topd

Is it even possible to not get any tongue bite at all?
My take on it is that pipe smoking is about like anything else that you do just once in a while, or all the time. Take playing a stringed instrument for example. While learning to play the guitar, you have to build-up callus material on the tips of your fingers. Until you do, your fingers are...- topd

Savinelli's Doblone d 'Oro
Jiminks, it must have been your review I read this morning on smokingpipes.com I think. I did some other research as to other comments when the tobacco wasn't finalized yet, they were still playing with the blend. I'm really looking forward to trying it. Thanks.- topd

If you had to choose only one blender - or blends from one company?
I don't usually comment on hypothetical situation questions but this one kinda hit a nerve. It would have to be Dunhill. Not because Dunhill is the best or most known... But because I couldn't do without my morning tobacco. I could smoke it all day if it was all I could get. I buy tins by the...- topd

Fast coloring Battal
Sajgre, that pipe is taking on a wonderful color! Some of the master carvers "do" sign their non-figural pipes, Emin is one of them. The two larger pipes here are Emin pipes and are signed... Baki is another... the second photo.- topd

Rim charring
I never use a lighter unless I'm on the lake and smoking a brier or cob that I'm not all that concerned with. I use matches indoors, so your drawing the flame to the tobacco, not torching your pipe. Over time your gonna get rim burn regardless, so learn how to deal with it. I have a little... -
