Thanks, your friend is a remarkable person. I'll put Granger on my radar.Welcome aboard from central North Carolina. I just took delivery of a tub of Granger, the Kentucky rough cut burley tobacco. A good piping friend of mine is a blind electronic music composer who lives in Queens, NYC, who is also a remarkable cook/chef, a remarkable person. He's always learning more about his surroundings than I am, which is both funny and educational for me.
Hi there. I have a pipe insert. I think its more than scorching the rim. I have a tendency to use the chimney of the lighter to find the tobacco chamber and that chips the rim of the bowl.
Thanks. Will do, They're my best tamper too. (smile)Welcome!!! I would recommend practicing to locate the chamber with fingers.
