    Transitioning from Prince Albert to other tobaccos

    Ok I know x-posting is bad mmmmkay but apparently this isn't getting much feedback at all in its current location so I've decided to place another thread in this forum in my quest for total pipe knowledge and mastery.

    Yesterday I Took Part in a Slow Smoke Contest and Now I'm Confused.

    OK so yesterday I took part in my pipeclub's annual slow smoke competition being a total noob (I can hardly keep my pipe lit when smoking normally) and surprisingly, I didn't do half bad. I placed 12 out of 19 with a 40 minute time. Now what I find confusing is this. We were given 3 grams of...
