@Briarbabe: I'm half sorry at your loss, and half happy for you, as this seems a good thing in the long run and an opportunity for tremendous growth. @Rev: That is a fantastic, *fantastic* quote. Is it your own? I'm going to write it down and use it in future. Thanks for sharing.

Hello All, Does anyone know how Shisha bars get around the indoor smoking laws in Ontario? Shisha, smoked through Hookahs, are totally legal. They are tobacco, mixed w dried fruit. Actually, per gram smoked, Shisha has more tar and is more carcinogenic than any other tobacco type. So how the...

I have a source for up to about 5 tins that have 3 yrs age on them if anyone is interested. I would buy them and ship them, at no profit, or I could PM anyone the place's phone number and have you order directly. Bad news is the Canadian tax man got a hold of them. Think they are about 32$ CAD...

Hi All, I think it would be awesome to have a "Hide Thread" feature so that you could hide threads you are not interested in following. That way, as you view the homepage, each section (Round Table, etc.) would not indicate new comments for the threads you were not interested in. It would also...

Pretty sure this isn't normal. I keep hearing that you should tamp *very* lightly, just hard enough to collapse the embers and ash down onto the fresh tobacco. I do the three-stage pack method for now. I only push down around the edges for the two hard pack stages. I've noticed as I smoke, the...

I'm there with you Cartaphilus. In a previous life I was a professional winemaker for commercial wineries. Not only is my sense of smell sensitive, I also cultivated the ability to identify aromas so well it became a reflex. Scent is the sense most closely linked to memory. Most people often...

Or possibly old news. Revelation for me anyhow! Ash from a pipe doesn't stink, and I don't tend to have much dottle/wet unused tobacco. I'd imagine that would dry quickly and not stink, but I could be wrong. WOW do those pipe cleaners REEK though. I find myself having to get up to dispose of...

Wooden matches (kitchen matches, etc) will burn better and produce a nicer flame than paper matches. I'd try RedBird strike anywhere matches. Make sure to let the igniter burn off and the wood to start before lighting or you will sulfur bomb your tobacco. In wind, place the match between your...

Thanks Kirk, means a lot that you'd take time to do so. I searched as many things as I could think of online before asking here, including using Google to scan a few forums for posts relating to it. Didn't find a thing. May be lost in the winds of time. :/

Hello All, Once upon a time, in a land not far from you, there existed a tobacconist. He refurbished pipes, and built a small tobacconist store called The Emporium, in Montreal. He was my grandfather. Sadly, in the passage of time, our family has lost all info pertaining to the shop. Did...

I too have been thinking about this lately. Interesting to note that the most popular drinks listed are coffee and tea, which are both highly acidic. This makes sense, as pipe smoke is alkaline, which can contribute to tongue bite, burn, and general discomfort (read it in an article, pretty...

Sincere thank you to all who provided info. My shipment from smokingpipes just arrived today, so I now have a few more flakes and a rope to try this on, as well as the Erinmore. To clarify, I am not overly concerned with having to relight. But I was doing a very solid light, and had to puff...

KevinM: Could you please expand on what you said about breathing through the snout rather than mouth? And, acknowledged you are new :)

Thanks gents. Hopefully more keep chiming in. Slartibartfast: Yeah, I'm not dead set on a one-light smoke. But having to relight every 2 minutes makes it feel more like work than fun. And I'm puffing like a madman to keep it lit. Literally can not stop for 15 seconds to participate in...

Oh! Forgot to mention. I'm currently rubbing it out fully and letting it sit. Tried 30 min, no luck. Tried roughly 50 min, no luck. Seems almost too dry at that point. Is still flexible, and springy, not brittle and crumbly, but seems almost at that point. I don't want to over dry, but I feel...

Hello all, Bought my first flake. Erinmore. Chose it because it has history in my family, rather than reviews/tasting notes appealing to me. CONSTANT relights. Oh god, the poor matches. It's a massacre! It's more work than pleasure. I just can NOT keep it going for more than 2-4 minutes it...

Hello all! :) :D Having the best pipe of my life, and it's Amphora Original! WHY is it so spectacular, you may ask? Because, with help, info, links to sources, and others, from many of you, I have GREATLY reduced "cockpit error". This is the coolest, driest most flavourful smoke I've ever had...

Awesome info, thanks! Good to know it's not the bowl angle. Will look into the stem / air hole alignment issue. Possibly try to get it to a reputable repair guy to get it looked at. Also, ENTIRELY possible it is strictly a "cockpit error". Just found it odd that I could get a better smoke from...

This is the pipe. You can see that the shape is distinctly at an angle. Danish Sovereign. The bowl inside descends down into the body, and significantly back towards the shank on the inside. It's also not really round, but more elliptical. It always used to smoke wet, and hot, and I couldn't...
