    Savinelli: No Filter?

    I've used Dr. Plumbs 6 mm filters and they restrict the draw too much IMO. I use the balsa in 6mm Savs and like them just fine. Horses for courses I guess

    UK Tobacco Ban On The Way

    So It looks as though a full ban on tobacco being sold to anyone born on or after 2009 will be going ahead as it passed its first hurdle in parliament MPs back smoking ban for those born after 2009 - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-68824493 My thoughts: Am I glad my two children...

    Candle light

    I would be careful with getting wax on your pipe/tobacco. Also unless a smokeless candle you may be sucking in some smoke that tastes bad or alters the flavour. I would get a windproof lighter . It's a good investment for the outdoor pipe smoker!

    I Bought my Dream Pipe!

    https://pipesmagazine.com/forums/threads/renaissance-wax-uk-vs-paragon-wax-polish.57781/post-35694194 Worth noting the method described here by @sablebrush52 for Renaissance or Paragon wax is the best way to get a glossy shine!

    I Bought my Dream Pipe!

    I've used Renaissance Wood Wax and Polish , and Savinelli Briar polish with good outcomes. Experiment on an old pipe you're not too fussed about and see what works, but lots of advice here to be trying out!

    How/What Beverages do You Pair with Your Pipe?

    Beer! I would suggest a richer flavoured, darker beer rather than an IPA. Something like a Porter is a reliable option, or else a brown ale is good.
