    Enjoying pipes in appalachia

    Attaching this photo with a mountain dulcimer. My money is on that pipe being made in Sparta…it looks like a Dr Grabow “big pipe”, although I am uncertain what year they began to manufacture those.

    GMO Tobacco/No Nicotine

    What makes the “tar”? Interesting article about biomass uses. I think nuclear will be the unlikely means of powering the future through SMRs and other emerging tech. During the pandemic there was discussion of using tobacco plants to produce vaccines or some sort of treatment best I recall.

    UK Tobacco Ban On The Way

    “pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!!”. I.e. this shambolic “ban” will only enrich the criminal element and serve no real purpose aside from political brownie points. See also the “fireworks ban” in Hawaii. The YouTube video for 4th of July will bring tears to your eyes.

    Banking the Fire

    Sounds about right. Some of the best tamping advice was simply, tamp lighter than you think you need. Just the slightest press works.

    What Does “System” Pipe Mean?

    Their 9mm pipes are really nice. To clean the chamber I just run a pipe cleaner that I’ve bent the tip back on and swab it out like a civil war cannon 🤣. Doesn’t take but a sec. I don’t know that it really matters if you dry your tobacco and sip. I have a straight 106 that I can’t tell a...

    Let's Grow some Tobacco this Year!

    That’s awesome fur coat. The smell of those barns in August is so good when they have the heaters on and that leaf curing. Do you store it or use it right away?

    Let's Grow some Tobacco this Year!

    Who’s got seeds or plants in the ground? I’ve given up on VA varieties. I live in the Burley belt.

    What Does “System” Pipe Mean?

    I’ve got a system 313 and it’s become my favorite, even over my well traveled Grabows …

    Hello from Denmark!

    Welcome! Man, what many of us wouldn’t do to have a pipe made by our grandfather! Congrats, and enjoy your stay. Most folks here are way better than some of the complaining/ grievance threads you may find. 🤣 We are a peculiar lot.

    Lightheaded and Not Sure Why

    Here’s what I learned as a new guy. 1. Holding smoke in your mouth (to make rings 😀) puts more Vit N into your bloodstream. 2. Puffing like a choo choo train makes me feel bad. You don’t smoke a pipe like a cigarette. I bet once you get the “sip” down, and enjoy the taste without holding...

    My Pipe Smoking Buddy is Gone

    Sorry to hear this! Are you going to get another dog? Some people find it does help when they are ready. It worked wonders for my grandparents after they lost their pup.

    The Joy of a new Zippo

    I recently got the butane pipe insert for a zippo. The light has no “zippo fluid” taste anymore. For cold weather ops, you have to keep the butane warm in your hand or against your body to get it to light much below 32F/0C.

    Thoughts on Vauen Pipes?

    I have two. They are certainly German craftsmanship and engineering on display. Both of mine are big solid pipes that are great for a chair, but not much for clenching. The matching of the wood and stem is flawless, and their 9mm filter system is the best in the industry. Highly recommend you...
