I use this razor knife, and it allows me to shave off thin slices. I just hold the plug tight with the other hand and get that knife to bite in. Bet it would work for you. For me, it's kind of fun to cut plugs.1/16 in, "You have a fine steady hand." That's about the best I can do without a shredder. I use my Kuhn Rikon Kulu blade.

Actually it doesn't Bali, it has a very very soft Sponge, which fits snugly, but compresses against the tobacco. It's only use really, is for a pre loaded pipe when your out and about. And my best friend Frodo, thanks youZippo,
Nice Sav Tortuga, I like the top plug but worry about it compressing the tobacco. Your best friend is cute!
If you want a cool burning aro, try CS Rivendell or Choctaw. Also Hobbits Weed burns cool. Or go codger with PA or CH. Lat blends almost always burn cool. H&H 10 to Midnight is very cool if you can stand the campfire smell, lol.Got home from the wedding, which went well, guy a big tip from the wedding couple, and finished smoking LBF in a Hardcastle bent billiard, while reaming and doing a salt and alcohol bath on my new estate.
I know aromatics tend to burn hotter, and I'm not too keen on smoking one in that pipe anyway, but LBF wasn't right for that pipe because of the heat it produced. I forget which blends burn less hot for a big bowl. Does anyone have any suggestions?
