    Prince Albert/Carter Hall

    I find CH and PA to taste and smell different. I much prefer PA. It has that chocolate in the background much like Burley London Blend and I like it. If PA were the only tobacco around I'd still smoke a pipe. I'm not sure I'd say the same about CH. It's okay but boring.

    I've Seen Chewed Stems Before, But This Looks Like A PMon Estate!

    Other than the stem, it's a pretty nice looking pipe, though.

    Am I doing Something Wrong?

    No matter how moist the tobacco (I don't dry mine, with few exceptions) no pipe should gurgle, no matter how you smoke it. Just my opinion, but if I have a pipe that gurgles, I either chamfer the end of the stem with my knife, or get rid of it. Chamfering usually does the trick, because it...

    Turned 31

    Happy birthday. It's my dad's birthday today also, and in a couple hours I'm going to go over and smoke a bowl with him, but he'll probably be smoking a Perodi cigar. I might even pinch a little of his Mixture 79.

    Rope tobacco

    I'm going to give that Condor/Black Rope mixture a shot tonite. I don't have any Tambalouka.

    Relights

    Stick the pipe in your mouth, light it, and clench it in your mouth until your done smoking. Just breath naturally through your nose, and puff every few breaths through your mouth. I'll bet you won't be relighting so often. A few relights is normal. I've probably only smoked 100 bowls in...

    Rope tobacco

    Half inch is too thick. I cut mine no more than 1/16th thick, which makes it rub out and much easier to light. I also do not dry them at all, but rub out and smoke right after cutting. Most people seem to like drying them, but I find the smoke too harsh.

    Smoking in San Francisco

    I live in California, and frequently visit family in SF. I have always smoked my pipe anywhere I want as long as it's outdoors and never had any problems. Truth be told, I smoke my Falcon often inside bars, and everyone assumes it's an e-cig, and never had an issue. Much of the hysteria is just...

    Lighting Pipes

    Easy. My pipes have about a 1/16th thick layer of cake covering the rims which protect them from scorching.

    Chew

    Personally, I don't like the taste of ropes as chew. Not at all, though I enjoy smoking them. For a chew, I much prefer Days O Work, and for a dip, I like Copenhagen. I dip when I can't smoke. It is very addictive, and I recommend to all to stick to the pipe ONLY. I wish I could take my own...

    Crawfish, Not Crayfish

    I attended a wedding yesterday in the French countryside where the appetizer was a plate with a single crawfish. I was like WTF! In the US we eat these by the hundreds! They were eating it with a knife and fork...as I sucked out the brains.

    How many bowls a day do you have?

    Usually around 10 bowls or so a day. I smoke small pipes, so it comes out to about 4 ounces a week.

    Lakeland suggestions please

    All the blends mentioned are much less expensive online than in th UK with its high tobacco taxes. I would purchase blends which are difficult to find except in the UK. In fact, I would just get as many pounds of Condor as you can smuggle back. If you can get up to Ireland, be sure to grab some...

    Clay Pipe the ups and the downs

    I believe it is recommended to use rubber bit protectors, before attempting anal breath smoking, if one desires to smoke from the other hole again. If you don't have any on hand, I suppose you could use a prophylactic, but I think it's a bit unmanly to be on the wrong side of those who have and...

    Mixture 79, Do You Have Any?

    I smoked it just once, borrowing a bowl from my dad. I didn't find it so terrible, but no way could I find myself smoking it unless there was no other choice.

    Traveling with pipe

    I do it all the time. Pipe, tobacco, and matches in my pocket. Never had a problem.

    Greasy Pipe

    A little grammatical error, but I think I'll leave it.

    Greasy Pipe

    I would clean the heck out of it, then polish the heck out of it with black shoe polish. No, I'm not joking. It works very well. If I'm shining up my wife and my leather shoes, I'll usually do up my pipes at the same time.

    Difference In These Falcons

    I'm sorry. I didn't look close enough as my cell phone is small. I just remembered in the book, they had pics of the Irish and English pipes, and clearly talked about the difference in length to where the grooves start. However, in the book's images, the gap was not nearly that large as yours...
