    PAD - Nord Compass

    Dunno yet. I’ll let ya know once I smoke it some. Everything I’ve seen about them says it smokes a little cooler but I’ve also seen some say it smokes a little moister in high humidity areas. Thanks, Chris

    That is my cleaning solution. 50% Everclear (for cleaning and disinfecting) and 50% mouthwash (for freshening). All I had available when I mixed it was a squeeze bottle. I use it clean the stem with a pipe cleaner. Thanks, Chris

    Pipe rack question

    Seems to me it's just an opinion. I think bowl up would have a slight advantage for wet smokers as the moisture would down and.maybe not soak into the briar. Just a guess though. Thanks, Chris

    This is my newest. Born this evening. Going to put EEE on it this week when I get a moment. This dark walnut and either a bowl, egg, peat, wasp nest, or combination of all, shape. Not a sitter this time. I made the pipe couch out of leather with minor saddle stitching and rivets. Works well...

    Black Walnut DIY Pipe

    Actually I've smoke it a few times and it doesn't get all that hot. I've tried a few different blends of nonaromatic and haven't had any issues. The walls are pretty thick so I think that helps a lot too. Working on another black walnut pipe now. I just finished a cherry pipe yesterday...

    Zippo Butane Pipe Insert

    Has anyone tried the Zippo butane pipe lighter insert yet? I'm debating on getting one and see if it works well. If you have, what are your thoughts and/or experiences with it? Thanks, Chris

    Nightly it's C&D Evening Pipe. Smooth and smokes cool. Perfect with bourbon or coffee. Lighter on the nicotine side, at leastforme. Love the red Virginia Cavendish with maple casing. As far as which pipe I use depends on my rotation.
