I do basically the same thing. First I lightly scrape the walls with a pipe tool, then I swab the bowl out with a pipe cleaner just folded in half rather than looped.

There is just so much sensationalism surrounding the weather these days. "Gee, we might have our car snowed in for a day, let's clean out the supermarket, spend all night watching weather reports, and then telecommute for a day."

^Excellent post.

God bless him.

Well, there is always the Peterson system, which is such a device as you are describing. It does exactly what they say it will do. But there's no reason why you should NEED the system if you develop your smoking technique. I would say that "tongue bite" is a term that means different things...

One of my favorites is Cumberland, which is a VA/Kentucky blend with perique. Kentucky is similar to burley, if not a particular strain or off-shoot of burley (can't remember). Fillmore is a great VA/Per, which actually has a almost undetectable level of latakia in it. Don't let that scare...

Stumbled on this yesterday, a street man playing Ripple. IMO he plays the hell out of it, he has a great voice. For those at work, the cameraman makes a somewhat loud reference to marijuana at the very beginning of the video before the guy starts playing. <iframe width="560" height="315"...

That's very sad to hear. I was just drying out some Bosun Cut Plug to smoke, too. :( I will smoke this one for you, Ken.

Funny - my gf's brother got the exact boots you are talking about, they look great. I am very impressed with the quality of mine.

I smoke while I read almost always. Pipe tool on the right arm of the chair, matches on the left. You have to lean over the book and use your forearm to keep it open and continue reading while you jimmy the pipe tool or relight. Straight pipes keep the smoke out of your eyes more, but full...

I would say Lakeland stuff. SG, GH flakes and ready rubs. I can't see hobbits smoking american burley. And certainly not anything with more than a pinch of latakia. They enjoy life too much for that. :P

I wouldn't wear them with a suit but I got these boots for xmas, they are great!

Very nice! If I were buying a rifle, that model in that caliber would be at the top of my short list.

Hey they were nice ones!

Over the last month I picked up these: Kinsale XL26, Christmas present from my girlfriend. Great pipe! Pictures don't really capture the subtleties of this shape. Donegal 150, traded a buddy 7 cigars for this guy, he couldn't get into pipe smoking. Burning some Coniston Cut Plug in it...

Earlier this week I received a generous sampler of GH tobaccos (and a few bonuses) from Natch. Thanks again brother. Where have these been all my life? :shock: I had been a fan of Dark Flake Scented and Brown Flake U/S in a big way, as well as the Brown Irish X, but had not tried anything...

I'm sure smokingpipes won't be the exclusive retailer, and GLP/C&D never seem to have problems keeping up...

Hey man, greetings from Kensington. If you want a good tobacconist, go into the city and check out Barclay Rex. Nat Sherman's is OK but I don't like their staff, or that they only sell house blend tobacco. My girlfriend went into De La Concha the other day and said it looked nice, so I'm...

I saw it on Monday and really enjoyed it. And I agree that it certainly looks like a meer. I had a chuckle when Damon tried to place it in a little ash tray and it wound up just sitting sideways. A real pipe smoker would have leaned it against the edge! :lol:

I'm sure if you got some good photos of it to Sinan Altinok he could whip up a few.
