    Request for Videos of Smoking Cadence

    A lot of new pipe-smokers are told to make sure they don't smoke too quickly and ruin the tobacco's flavor, let the heat bite their tongues, and burn out their pipes. On the other hand, they struggle to keep their pipes lit. What does a proper smoking cadence look like? I'd love to get some...

    Where can I buy essenced, cased, or flavored tobaccos?

    I thought Stokkebye had something like that, but maybe I'm wrong.

    John Patton Oriental Dusk Group Buy

    Thanks for doing this. If you guys like it, post more positive reviews on TR. That may help illustrate the requisite demand for keeping it available. FTFY=Fixed That For You (referring to spelling my name). Thanks for the laughs!

    Dublin Pipe Gone Wrong

    I think early on it's probably good for practicing, too. Once you're good and doing it for money, it's probably not worth the time if it doesn't look like it'll be a nice pipe. What about lilac?

    Dublin Pipe Gone Wrong

    You've just got to get your bamboo shank technique down for those blocks. Not bad at all!

    John Patton Oriental Dusk Group Buy

    I'd like some, but need to offload some pipes first (hint, hint!). Maybe if the price is right I'd take a half-pound or so.

    Woke My Meerschaum Collection Up Out Of Hybernation

    I think you've got too many. You're never gonna get 'em all colored if you got to split time between all those! We all know the solution, don't we? ;)

    1st try at a horn

    That looks pretty nice! How many pipes have you made? Was that from a kit or from scratch?

    I hope your trip is going well, Olle! There has been some sort of mix-up with the package I sent you. Did you get my PM? Please get back to me soon so I know where to send it.

    What's Your "Go To" Blend.

    I can't pick. ODF and BBF are up there, but I've been loving lakelands lately, Brown Flake Scented in particular.

    McClelland Royal Cajun Series

    That sounds really intriguing. The Gawiths use fire-cured VA leaf in a lot of their blends, but I don't think it is fermented a la Perique. Does anyone know how Perique is usually cured prior to fermentation?

    Now I am a Master

    It is separate for us Presbyterians (OPC). Seminary is normally required for ordination, but the church examines potential ministers in piety, knowledge of scripture (English, Greek, Hebrew), church history, theology, teaching ability, etc. We have a two-step process. I have already been...
