    What do you like to drink along with your smoke?

So a good Virginia with lots of sugar, or a creamy english Lat like "Artisan's Blend" suit me fine. A dry...

    Help finding a pipe

    Ok Brothers, I need your help. I have my granddad's old pipe. It is a "Regis" Briar pipe. Straight dublin style bowl. Smallest pipe I have seen . Smaller than the Stanwell lightweights. I use this pipe all the time. In fact, when I got it, the briar shank was cracked, but the crack stayed...

    Reducing Heat by Keeping Ash Covering the Last Tobacco

    Hmm....29? Not that long ago for those other pipes...lol I have never dumped ash. I always keep it too the bottom. The only "issue" as I see it is when I hit the "dottle" if you will, I can tell. Usually I require 1 last light...usually my second after the true light at the beggining...and I...

    Question for Va Flake guys

    Just so you know the rock maple "filters" are a hollow tube that fits into the stem of the pipe. They really don't filter anything, but are supposed to lengthen the exposure of the smoke to wood rather than vulcanite or acrylic. Whether that does anything or not, I cant tell. Where they do excel...
