An Alternative Technique to Avoid Tongue Bite
I've always had to use charcoal filters when smoking C&D blends due to an allergic reaction to their perique they like to use. Charcoal also seems to reduce nicotine, which is fine with me. I have a quantity of quality charcoal that I use for my reef aquarium and I'm going to give it a shot...- justscience

Tinbids Experiences?
I've sold on it for prices that made me blush. The administrative fees on Tinbids are far less than our Texan friend and much higher prices are obtained on certain brands. Granted, he does package and mail, but then, so do you when you send to him. I kind of miss eBay, but their fees plus paypal...- justscience

I Hated Half & Half, Is It Because of the Burley?
Can't stand H&H either, it's the topping. Best easy to find codger blends in pouches here (Michigan) are Sir Walter Raleigh plain and aromatic, I enjoy both.- justscience

How Many Bowls do You Smoke a Day?
This question recurs frequently on all forums I visit. I never want to put anything online that can be retrieved later and used against me, say, by an insurance company. I am here because I like to collect and read about pipes and tobaccos. So zero. I am officially a nonsmoker to anyone on the...- justscience

Pipes by Country
Actually, immediately after WW2, Kaywoodie experimented with Manzanita, or "mission briar" that grew in California. As a connoisseur of Imported Briar, I have no experience with it, of course. Desperate people even make pipes out of vegetable waste like corn cobs and gourds, even. Or rocks they...- justscience

Food you Haven't Had Since your Grandmother(s) Died
Homemade mincemeat pie. Mom used the last Ball jar of grandma's mincemeat (no meat, made with green tomatoes and spices) for Thanksgiving 1963.- justscience

Drying Tobacco in 100% Humidity
Science guy here. I have a 2 compartment Tupperware style plastic tub I use to wring excess moisture out of Gawith flakes. Flakes in one side, silica gel on the other. The silica gel is available in hardware stores, and pet stores sell it for litter boxes. It can be recycled by baking in oven...- justscience

Michigan Pipe Smokers
SW Michigan guy here. I'm notoriously unsocial, but it's nice to know there are still pipe smokers here. I'm in the St. Joseph area.- justscience

I like my 30s Kaywoodie carburetor for moist tobaccos that taste better not dried out.- justscience

***What Are You Smoking, July 2023?***
Decided to raid the cellar for an oriental blend and grabbed a 3/05 tin of Squadron Leader. Put it in a Pete 69 I bought the same time and have also ignored. 18 years have gone by fast. Much prefer the present. Nice smoke, btw.- justscience

American Factory Pipes
From top: CPF meer, my best meer at that; an unsmoked WDC "Highest Grade" ; third is a workhorse LHS Durbar with a recycled P-lip stem. I have many Wally Frank pipes and I'm uncertain of their countries of origin. They were part and parcel of American pipe smoking for decades.- justscience
