    Suddenly Lost my Taste for Pipe Tobacco

    😂😂😂. Animal based is basically majority of nutrition comes from animal products like meat, eggs, milk, butter, etc. supplemented with smaller amounts of fruits

    Suddenly Lost my Taste for Pipe Tobacco

    Not really. I’ve done some gentle bowl scraping on my meers but that’s about it.

    Suddenly Lost my Taste for Pipe Tobacco

    Medications: I’m not on any so no. Diet: sort of, I switched from Carnivore to an animal based diet. Probably not a bad idea to see the doc and get a physical.

    Suddenly Lost my Taste for Pipe Tobacco

    I do have hereditary high blood pressure despite me being young and quite fit so it wouldn’t surprise me haha. I think the latter is more likely though

    Suddenly Lost my Taste for Pipe Tobacco

    Title edited. See Rule 9 for title guidance. Not sure what happened. Im a regular pipe smoker and smoke about 6 blends exclusively. Nothing has changed in my smoking routine/patterns, same amount of dry time, same char light, same smoking pace, everything yet about a month ago, I just lost my...

    Natural American Spirit Pipe Tobacco

    I'll be honest, I don't smoke cigarettes often but when I do, I only smoke American Spirits Blue and Black. Supposedly they have perique in them and I find them to be extremely flavorful, so much so that I sometimes just draw in with my mouth and don't inhale, just so I can get the full flavor.

    Only Yanik Would Carve Something Like This

    Consider the scale though. For the piece you posted, its a figural head piece so you have a larger subject where you can include much more detail. For the other one, its a larger scene so you can't get as narrow detail

    C&D The Haunting

    Was the profile of Savinelli similar or just the topping?

    C&D The Haunting

    You might be able to find a few tins online or even here on the forum. I think it was pretty popular so there could be some. You could also post a "Willing to Buy" as well if you're eager.

    C&D The Haunting

    This blend is the bomb. Everything that I love about cigars and Virginia leaf together in one with a dash of perique in the background (I know its in there, even though its not explicitly stated). I wish there was a blend that was regularly available like it because if there were I would smoke...

    FS: IMP Lattice Bent Billiard with 9mm Silver Band 4.12.24

    Only 6 bowls through it and purchased a few weeks ago. Been limiting my smoking so cutting down on the collection. Bought for 460 asking 320 shipped.

    Causes of Raw/irritated/tender Throat from Smoking.

    I was wondering if it had to do with the liner of the pipe like the precharred bowls or something like that. I also notice draws on bent pipes I have are more restricted than straight pipes so straight pipes might have more of a "hot burn" because it its easier to draw.

    Meerschaum Coloring End Game

    O that’s interesting. I’ve read that thread so many times but never caught that. Always thought it was just the byproducts moving their way through the meerschaum and getting trapped in the wax like a protective seal

    Meerschaum Coloring End Game

    For sure but I am sure it would color differently. I remember your pipe experiment where you cut it in half and the inside was all white (slight gray) until it hit the wax on the outside.

    Meerschaum Coloring End Game

    From my understanding, there is a point when a pipe will not color anymore. Why is this? Not idea. However, if I rely on the knowledge that the wax is really what colors the meerschaum, my guess is that the tar and nicotine move through the pipe, through the porous cells of the meerschaum and...

    Training Myself to Smoke Cooler

    No filters for me so that is something I might consider

    Training Myself to Smoke Cooler

    Title edited. Rule 9. I’ve been pipe smoking for about six years. I still haven’t been able to train myself to smoke slow and cool and regularly give myself tongue bite. Most the time I don’t even realize I’m smoking hot. Any tips on how to train yourself to smoke cooler?
