    Help! Which Stem for Which Pipe?...

    I have a Spigot 314, 312, and 307 and I keep them side by side on my desk. After a smoke I remove the stem and lather it with my butcher's block conditioner, I then set the stem beside my pipe chamber in a pipe stand and let it rest until I smoke it again. The last two days I've had all three...

    Pack and Tap: Is my Strange Way Wrong?

    I've adopted something that I have not seen anywhere else. I'm wondering if it's causing my tobacco to be too tight once lit and smoking. Keep in mind that when I test the draw, It's still consistent with the typical method, but more often than not in doing it my way I find certain tobaccos make...

    Crumble Cut?

    Hey guys, I have this crumble cut tobacco and I'm not sure how to use it. It's like little hard square pieces, similar in size as steel cut oats. 1.) Do I rub it out? 2.) Do I gravity drop leaving tons of airflow? 3.) Do I pack it via the triple pack method and really push it down to try and...

    Deluxe System or Spigot? Help me Decide!

    Hey guys, I hope everyone is enjoying their Friday! First off, I'd like to note that I have read other threads comparing the two Peterson systems.

    Please read Rule 9 as to how to form a title. Hey guys. I've spent hours searching today but have not found an answer.

    Are all my Pipes Army Mount?

    Title edited for caps and brevity. Original: Are all my pipes army mount? And can you remove the stem when hot? Are all pipes with metal surrounding the mortise considered an army mount? Thus are they safe to remove the stem from the shank when it's warm? I have a peterson 999. It has a nice...

    Briar "dot" for 2017 Savinelli sistina 670.

    Hey guys. I fell in love with a flawlessly made Savinelli pipe at my local cigar/pipe store. The pipe guy said he didn't know much about it, they had it for 7-8 years, and an old employee who brought it in labeled it in correctly and priced it randomly. The bowl is 100% perfectly leveled. Inside...

    And if so, how? [Title edited for meaning and caps.] I have a collection of 9 pipes now! Crazy I know lol... (for a new smoker) I have seen two schools of thought. Smoke a pipe once and let it sit, moving onto the next pipe for your next smoke. Or Picking out one pipe for the entire day and...

    Should I drive 3 hours to buy this vintage tobacco?

    Hi everyone, good morning and happy piping! I live in alberta, where 50g tin of decent tobacco costs $60 canadian... our taxes are absurd. I usually order from 4noggins.com (if I keep my order to 150g it seems to get through fine. If I order 200g or more I get slammed with taxes.) There is a...

    I just bought a new pipe!

    I hope the photo loads, it wouldn't work on my welcome thread. It's funny, I always go down to the shop with a pipe in mind that I'd like to get. Somehow I end up getting something else entirely. Before I unveil what I bought, I was looking at the peterson shorties. The 999 rustica shorty...

    Cascadia vertical limit?

    Hey guys. I love this blend. Specifically it has a salty taste that's Invigorating. Kind of like coppenhaggen long cut chew. What type of tobacco is in this blend that offers that salty malt flavor? And are there other brands that have that se flavour?
