Tools Trifecta Thread
Might be fun, might not, but thought I would post a photo of my currently favorite pipe, favorite source of fire, and favorite tamper. It's taken me a few years to figure out what I like, and this seems to be it. Ardor Meteora, IM Corona Pipemaster, and a modest 8Deco tamp. What's yours?- pinem

Help Me Choose a Blend for the Redwoods
Taking a family trip to real northern California (the bay area is fake northern California ;) ) in a few weeks, and I am struggling to choose a blend or two to take with me. If you been, you know the smell of the redwood forests, and I am trying to pick something that will pair well with the...- pinem

New Ardor Meteora
Just acquired my first Ardor with the Meteora rustication/carved finish. I don't normally do posts like this when I get a new pipe, but I am so smitten with the carving/rustication on this, I feel the need to gush a bit. I have never been a big fan of rustication on pipes (with maybe the...- pinem

Tips for Lighting and Smoking McClelland Blends
I'm stumped. It seems that every McClelland blend I have tried is a bear to get lit without scorching your tongue. I find that even with a butane lighter, I have to puff almost 4 times as long as it takes to light any other tobacco. It takes forever to create an ash cap on the tobacco as...- pinem

High Nicotine Blends with Good Room Note
I don't think this specific topic has come up too often. Usually the topic is more focused on just pipe tobaccos with a good room note. It is difficult to judge room note by oneself if you have to smoke outside, such as I do, so I would be interested in other people's experiences here. Not...- pinem

Can a Heavy(Dense) Briar Pipe Smoke Well?
It is commonly understood that a light-for-its-size briar pipe (i.e., low density briar) will usually smoke well. While there may be some debate on why this is, I would guess that the more porous the pipe walls are, the more water vapor they can absorb during a smoke, which then leads to a... -

Need some guidance on a new pipe purchase
Have been putting in some overtime lately at work, and looking to transform some of that effort into a new pipe. Have narrowed it down to either a Radice rind, Dunhill shell, Kai Nielsen or Caminetto. All have been made in the last couple of years, and the last three essentially have identical... -

Two Tins of Presbyterian Mixture, Which One is Older?
I stopped in at the local B&M today to pick up a tin of Presbyterian Mixture, as I had seen it on the shelf there previously, and have just recently learned that this blend might just be up my ally. I get the impression this store does most of its business in cigars, and most of their pipe...- pinem

Beginning Signs of Burnout?
New Ser Jacopo that I have just started breaking in. I have smoked 5 bowls so far on this, two half bowls first, followed by three full bowls with PS Luxury Navy Flake. The first four bowls, the tobacco was fully rubbed out, the last was cube cut. First four bowls were smoked very slowly, in...- pinem

Tar Buildup in Chamber
First post. Have tried in vain to find some help on this through searches, but it seems rare that people get tar build up in their chambers (referred to as sludge cake, I believe), so I thought I would start a new thread on it. I have a relatively new Bjarne Viking bent apple that came with a...- pinem
