Help with Pipe Brands
Afternoon all! I am considering buying some never-smoked pipes from an online seller. Now, I will do my own research, but this forum is always helpful so I thought I'd ask here too. Can you help me evaluate these based on brand alone? Just looking for broad strokes advice here. They are... -
Stuck Stem
Just received a pre-owned Peterson. On initial inspection the stem was a bit difficult to remove, a. It harder yet to put back on, and now it won’t budge. The pipe looks to be in good condition and the seller has said he only smoked it 2-3 times, but…. Help?- Sanzini

Love Connection: Carolina Flake Seeks Blending Partner
If you like pina coladas.... :LOL: I recently make a rookie mistake and bought some Sutliff Carolina Flake, which I quickly learned is for blending not smoking straight. Suggestions for what I can blend it with so it doesn’t go to waste?- Sanzini

Polishing
Evening all - I just picked up an estate Savinelli, black sandblasted. The finish is rather dull, even cloudy white in some of the crevices. Any tips for getting it looking new - product or technique?- Sanzini

Too dry? Too moist?
Couple of tobacco Qs for the group: 1. Just got a few new blends including Sutliff Carolina Flake, which is as dry as Corn Flakes. Normal? Not? Thoughts? Advice? 2. All of my loose tobacco is in jars (see pic). A few of the jars have a film on the inside , which I assume is condensed...- Sanzini

Cornell & Diehl Small Batch Sun Bear Black Locust
Ordered from tobaccopipes.com two days ago - now on my shelf and in my bowl. (It helps that I’m only a few hours from Richmond.) Can confirm: this limited blend from C&D is terrific. Though my palate and lingo may be undeveloped, I will say that, to me, this is the smoking equivalent of comfort...- Sanzini

Cob Draw
In growing my pipe count from 2 to 7, I picked up my first MM Cob - a bent country gentleman. The pipe came with a 6mm filter, which I chose to remove on first smoke. I gotta tell you, that pipe had more of a full, open draw than any of my others. Maybe too open for my liking. Is this typical? I... -
Filters
There are no dumb people, only dumb questions...or something like that. So here's mine: 1. How can I tell if my filterless pipe will take a filter? 2. How can I tell what size filter will fit? Your kindness is appreciated.- Sanzini

To Coat or Not to Coat
Ok fellas - especially all you old-timers - help me with this one. Pops smoked a pipe for about 30 years and swears that coating the bowl with honey and a bit of whiskey helps build up cake and makes for a better overall smoke. I've read mixed reviews on this practice. Thoughts?- Sanzini

How Often Do You Smoke?
VA newbie checking in. Simple question for the group: How often do you smoke? I'm curious to know if there are folks out there who have a pipe clenched in their teeth all day, every day. Or if you smoke a few times a day, or just a few times each week...or less often. Happy to know your...- Sanzini

Newbie from Virginia, US
Hello all, I am a 40-something new pipe smoker living in northern VA. In the past I had been an occasional cigarette smoker and cigar smoker. I still like a good stogie once in a while, but I'm done with the nasty cigarettes. Tobacco pipes are something I have been curious about for some time...- Sanzini
