    Sherlocking A Pipe

    How can you check if the draft hole is flush with the bottom of the bore? Disregard...I was thinking of the bottom end of the stem being flush with the drilled hole in the shank.

    Sherlocking A Pipe

    My bent Petersons (including my Shannon XL02) will not pass a pipe cleaner. However, I have a large fully bent Rossi that will. With that said, they all smoke great.

    Any Experience with These Petersons ?

    Brother I am quite the rookie when it comes to tobaccos. I came back to the hobby back in 2017. I tried what I consider to be a fair amount of different types of tobaccos (both english and aeros). Personally, I found blends with red virginias were hotter and more prone to tongue bite than those...

    Any Experience with These Petersons ?

    Try Golden Va. instead of Red Va. I find Red Va. can be hotter to smoke.

    Nicotine or Relaxation?

    I smoke because I just plain enjoy it. I don't think about nicotine. The relaxation of the experience comes from finding a peaceful place away from noise and people. No noise...no bullshit from anything or anyone. Just being left alone to enjoy my pipe and tobacco. It makes me happy for awhile...

    Smoking Tobacco Based on the Season - Yes or No?

    I choose my tobacco by what I think I would enjoy for that day. Seasons get no cosideration.

    Buying Multiples of the Same Pipe

    I would buy the same pipe twice. But probably in a different finish.

    Can Separating Stem After Every Smoke Ruin the Stem?

    It could very well be of a different material. Never thought of that.

    Take Your Time Preparing a Bowl

    Preparing and loading the bowl is part of the ejoyment for me. I don't mind spending the time.

    Can Separating Stem After Every Smoke Ruin the Stem?

    Tried that. Didn't work for me.

    Can Separating Stem After Every Smoke Ruin the Stem?

    I run a pipe cleaner the best I can as soon as I am done wth smoking. I let my pipes cool and then remove the stem for a more complete cleaning because not all pipes pass a pipe cleaner completely. I had the experience once where the tenon stretched out over a short period of time and became...

    Moving From English Blends to Pure Virginias

    I like Va and cavendish blends. I am definitely not the expert, but I find red Va. less smooth and hotter than golden Va.

    Carrying Pipes Back In The Day

    I have a small 1 pipe pouch that carries everything. It fits in any pocket and is not bulky at all. I saw an old Sherlock Holmes movie where a guy used a small knitting needle to pick clean his pipe and stem.

    How Long to Rest a Pipe?

    I have smoked the same pipe multiple times in a day with no problems. I find that as long as the pipe is somewhat cooled and the bottom of the bowl is dry then I don't have any issues.
