    Custombilt Look-alike Pipe

    I am one of those unlucky souls who collects vintage American pipes, and of course Custom-bilts are my faves...used to be able to score them for 20...now for the snubs and snorkers you're looking at 70-100 for Mincer era :( Anywho, Your pipe looks a lot like a Tom Howard I used to have. Could...

    Nasal and Ear issues

    I take breaks from pipes now. Within 3 days the inflammation dies down and within 5 the ears open back up. One thing I have been reading about is PG and it's effects that it has been having on Ecig and Vape users and it seems very alike to what I am going through...maybe I am allergic to the...

    Nasal and Ear issues

    Sorry guess I should of given some more initial info. I have mild sinusitis that has always been easily controlled. I take 24 hour Claritin daily. I should also add that I have been smoking pipes for over 2 years and regularly buy restore and trade pipes. Never inhale, not a retrohaler. My...

    Nasal and Ear issues

    So over the past 6 months I have found that I am having issues with my beloved pipe tobacco. It seems that every time I partake in a bowl, I come down with sinus inflammation and minor ear congestion. Multiple bowls lead to my ears closing up for a few days... It is very odd. I can smoke any...

    Do You Smoke SG Navy Flake In A Lat or VA Pipe?

    Right, because I would think the Lat would ghost. but it's all good. I think it will smoke just fine in my frog morton(s) pipe

    Do You Smoke SG Navy Flake In A Lat or VA Pipe?

    Thanks! I was more concerned with the Lat messing up my pure virginia's than I was the rum to be honest

    Do You Smoke SG Navy Flake In A Lat or VA Pipe?

    fair enough! I'll probably just smoke it in my frog morton pipe, since I hardly ever smoke lat flakes, just like some Sammy G Navy!

    Do You Smoke SG Navy Flake In A Lat or VA Pipe?

    So with a blend like SG Navy Flake, do you smoke it in a lat pipe or one of your VA pipes? Do you worry about the Rum topping ghosting either one of the pipes?

    Spokane, Washington : Help Me Out

    I called. They said that it is a "Light VA blend with Black Cavendish and Latakia" They wouldn't tell me if it was Lane, Mac, McClellend..etc I bet it is a take on one of the 7 seas with lat added.

    Slightly Aromatic Flakes.

    So, do you guys smoke these "slightly aro" blends in the same pipe you smoke your straight/vapers in or do you dedicate a new pipe for each one of these blends too?

    Everclear & comparable liquors for pipe cleaning?

    As long as it's 91% or above Isopropyl you are perfectly fine. I took enough organic chemistry in college to know. It evaporates so quick and leaves nothing behind to make you sick. If you drink it straight, ya that is bad. If you clean with it. No worries. Guess what hospitals use if their...

    First Bowl Of Cherrybomb

    It's the only cherry tobacco I have ever had that didn't taste horrible. With that being said, it never tasted good either haha...After 5 bowls I traded it away for an estate pipe.

    Bad Peterson Pipes - From Where?

    All my Peterson's are Estates. Bought of members from forums or Ebays. All of them are exceptional quality. All of them are great smokers. None of them I paid more than 25 bucks for ;)
