    The Moriaty Method Experiment 1

    @Professor Moriarty proposed this to prevent tongue bite he gets from some blends with no filter. I dont get bite but I prefer 9mm filters on some most blends. He has been using activated charcol instead of meer chips and the like in the bottom of his unfiltered pipes with success. I...

    Your Most Heavenly Tin Notes

    Obviously, its taste that matters but we also have a opening a tin photo thread. So for you what has the most wonderful tin note? There are a few tobaccos that seem ready to eat. HH Latakia Flake: For me the most insane aroma of any lat or engish blend Ive opened. I stick my nose in the...

    Our Wives Have the Best Products!

    For years I have worked on sax mouthpieces and pipe projects using Tropical Shine nail files and blocks in different grits. They are great tools. Today I found another product our wives have that are great for pipes. They use these disposable clothes for cleaning their faces and taking off...

    Paul Becker PAD Attack!

    I have been looking at this for weeks. I knew I was done for. Pulled the trigger today. It will be my 3rd Becker. His pipes so far are as good or better than any other of my pipes. The bad thing is now I have to wait...wait...wait...

    Why do Pipes Taste Different?

    Part of me thinks I am insane but part of me thinks I am simply noticing what other piper experience. In one pipe Tobacco Blend A is, wow, just amazing. In another pipe the same blend is good but just ok. I know experienced smokers say they pick a pipe for a blend after experimentation so I...

    Is This Mold?

    On a tin of blending perique there were some white specs. Not covered but scattered across it only where the tobacco touched the paper on the top of the tin. Is it mold and should I be concerned? I almost wonder if its part of the paper degrading... When I rub the paper from the top of the...

    Experts on Italian Pipes and Nomenclature Needed

    Im looking at an estate pipe. Its a Caminetto GIANNI. The stem has a G instead of the logo I am used to seeing. Is this the matching stem for this pipe? Im wondering if they stamped that version differently. It supposed to be from the 90's. Thanks Edit: Ok so digging I see that the...

    Opening a Lucite Stem

    I have a pipe with a short and straight lucite stem (aprox 4 cm). The draw is too tight because of this. The stummel is drilled just fine. I presume I need a taperd bit (I could be wrong) but in mm I dont know the diameter I should use or type of drill bit. I dont want too crack it. I...

    My Estate Il Duca Arrived

    There were questions on another therad on how to clean the pipe. It cleaned up easily with just a little mild soap and water. It was dried out with little red. This is it after cleanup and a little beeswax. The colors are pretty accurate. Its a tad overlit.

    How do I Clean A Blasted Natural Finish?

    I have no illusions or need to get the pipe looking like new again but Ive got an estate coming that has a nice blast and a natural finish (Blonde). There is more rim darkening and darkening around the rim and the upper chimney of the pipe than I would like. Is there a way to go about properly...

    PAD/TAD/Collector Research Question

    Ok..Im really not doing a research project but my background in psych has me interested. I dont think most of us will argue that we are bit by the hoarding bug at time. A lot of us have way more pipes and far more tobacco than can ever be somked and we still gather more. I dont think pipe...

    My First German Pipe

    I decided to veer a little away from Italian pipes and I picked up the Paul Becker Estate. Now I have to camp by the mailbox! Just in time for me getting my covid loss of taste back.

    Has Anyone Tried Blends from Pfeifenstudio-Frank?

    This is pretty much geared towards German members. A bit of a shot in the dark. He has some blends that sound interesting but I dont know anything other than the brief descriptions offered. Anyone????

    Ascorti: How Do They Stack Up?

    Ive been buying ser jacs, Radice, Ardor, and a Caminetto. As the title asks, how do Ascorti pipes compare? Im drawn to a few of their designs. Also their price points are pretty reasonable, even for new but Im mostly looking at estates which are really affordable. Still sick in bed not...

    Just How Dry Should It Be?

    Nooby question here but I get tired of multiple relights sometimes. I have worked on not packing tight and using gravity fill with a light application of pressure and that helps. The question is how dry should I let my tobacco get. I know some let it get cruchy, some dont. I also know people...

    My New Pipe Rack

    I was inspired by some of the pictures of peoples smoking rooms so I made this fellow out of some salvaged oak I had in the basement.
