Anyone here a piper? I play the pipes about 5 yrs now. More addicted to this than even chess I suppose ( maybe the same...lol) I started my solo competition circuit last month. I have my next one in Jersey next weekend. Davey the Loud

I tried a search and please forgive me if I am just dense, but I could not find a definitive answer: If an aromatic is flavored and cavendish means it is flavored, should anything with topping/cavendish be smoked only in an aromatic pipe? Does G.L. Pease's Barbary Coast then count as a...

Ok...what is the deal witht his weed? I cannot for the life of me get it to stay lit. even when I break it apart pretty fine, it seems to just want to go out, unless i stoke it like a furnace! ONE SHOULD NOT BE GETTING BITTEN BY AN ENGLISH BLEND, RIGHT? What am I doiung wrong here fellas...

Well gang. Here's the quandry. I am finding I reach less and less for english blends with this wramer weather. And, for some reason, I don't like english blends in the morning... but I miss my enlgish blends to mix in with all the VA blends I am smoking right now ( FVF, HOTW, Ol Gawrie, Nay...

It's on my list and I am close to pulling the trigger, but was wondering what the inside track thought. Anyone? Davey the Quizzical

Not sure if you guys will find this or not...or if I even put it in the best spot, But... hope all you guys have a good day. David :D

I have been anxious to try this out fro some time now. Lit up a bowlful in a BBB Own Make Virgin 529 ( looks almost identical to a Pete 268 I own). Rubbed out with no problem and pre-light was easy. Ash tamped right down. I re-lit and was good to go for the next 25 minutes requiring no re-light...

Ok a different thread got me thinking outside the box again. What is the benefit of one to the other. I see some high grade pipes that still use lucite(acrylic?) over vulcanite. What is the deal when the rubber meets the road here? Davey The Learner

What is the purpose of a cob pipe? What I mean is, are they all cheap pipes that are to be shunned or are they for a certasin occasion/purpose?

Just picked up an Il Ceppo. Large bowl. 15/16 by around 1 1/4" deep. The weed wanted to keep going out. I packed it the same as my smaller chamered pipes. Should I be modifying my technique with this larger bore somehow?

Ok. Even as I write this I am a bit queazy. You guys were suppoesed to mention that when I get into these fuller blends to eat something first! Very full to me...hard to tell if it's the vitamin N that is getting me. Seems fuller bodied than Penzance and Nitecap. et this is viewed as a...

Recieved a very generous package from Nick for me to try oput, which included but was not limited to a tin of Black Frigate!!! Also some SOTE which you guys have had me drooling to try! Will be lighting up today! Thank you very much for ALL the samples, Nick...brother indeed. David

Just got the Durbar today. I will post when I fire up a couple of bowls. Thanks again!!

looking to pick up a larger ID sized smoker. Say, 13/16 to 1". Still looking for quality but under $100 range. Anyone have thoughts on the Bjarne Viking series? Are they decent smokers in that series, or no? or other suggestions...?

Well, you guys know I am really still just getting my feet wet.. Soooo, I stopped by a local Brick & Mortar and looked at some Mac Baren stuff lying around ( pickings are thin) and was about to grab a tin of Burley London blend to try or the Scttish Mixture, when the clerk says "Her you've got...

Fellas, I was gifted some Peter Stokke that was labeled "Navy Flake." Is this the same as his "Luxury Navy Flake"? And while we're on it....what is "NAVY" flake or "NAVY" english anyway????

Ok, so I'll post my thoughts here where it belongs :D I found the weed needs to dry just a tad for me. It lit well and I needed about three re-lights during a 45 min session..which is pretty darn good for me ( I know guys, I know...a touchdown is a touchdown ;) Anyway, I thought the taste was...

If one may need to "dry" some weed before it is smoked, Is there a downside to tossing it the couple of pinches in the mic for 7 seconds or so? What would be the difference if either way you are deydhrating the stuff? Or am I crazy fro a reason I don't realize!?

Looking for a REAL full bodied english. I currently enjoy Penzance and Nightcap. Looking to add a real punch to my rotation....anyone? :o
