    Any tips on how to smoke a MacArthur?

    Today I bought a bent MacArthur at a B&M and was wondering if anyone here has experience with MacArthurs and can tell me a little about, ah, how to smoke it? I'm really curious about how I can best pack, relight, and tamp it and clean out the dottle. Thanks in advance!

In fact, the more of the former I added the better it turned out. The kind of oily blandness in SMM really...

    Having some trouble with Kendal Plug

    I got a sample of this recently, and I'm curious about how the members here prepare their plugs. What I've done is kind of peel thick layers of the chunk I got off and cut them longways with a pocketknife, then cutting into even smaller pieces. I smoked a bit of it after that much preparation...

    Recommendations on VA flakes

    Lately I've gotten heavily into gold VA flakes. I really like something with a rich, sweet, grassy flavor, like Hamborger Veermaster or Orlik GS. While there are plenty of good dark VAs and vapers out there, I'm interested mostly in blends similar to the two aforementioned. What do you think is...

    Hello to the Brotherhood

    Some of you definitely know me from Smoker's Forums, some others don't and don't want to hear about how they might know me from Smoker's Forums. I quit cigarettes on August 17th and have been smoking a pipe habitually since. I bought my first pipe in a CVS the day after I graduated high school...
