So, in a recent discussion with Greyson (sir!), the two of us realized we were both having a similar issue with our beloved morta pipes. They get hot. Real hot. Even with normally cool smoking tobaccos and being careful not to puff, they get hotter than any other of our pipes. Anyone else...

It has been eight years since (as my friends know it by) "I got blowed the f**k up." I post this same thing every year, but, here it is again. I hope my kids will read this someday and understand my story, all the good and bad that having a Marine combat veteran for a dad means. For those of...

My wife, while she doesn't mind the room notes of some of the tobaccos I enjoy, sends me outside when the pipe and toby comes out. Usually, I don't mind as sitting outside and reflecting on my day with a leisurely smoke hits the spot. However, living near the Windy City, winters are quite...

Okay, so, until the beginning of this week, I was smoking a bad No-Name briar (if it really IS briar) with a plastic stem that was just bad... I finally picked up a beautiful estate meer at my local B&M and I'm in love. The difference in how the two pipes smoke is amazing. However, in my old...

Howdy, all! I'm a long time lurker who has finally taken the plunge. I've been smoking a pipe for about six months, slowly learning my way around pipes and tobaccos. I've got a pretty sensitive and eclectic palette, so I love me some aromatics (Hobbit's Weed is delicious), Penzance, and...
