Re: Turnabout is fair play

ok since you asked for it here it goes and this is from a personal point of view only pipe # 1 I couldn't find anything wrong with it if i tried ( and I did) I really like the color balance the stem tends to lend it's self to a bone look which I personally like well balanced and great looking would ...

Re: Am I, or the 'baccy' to blame here?

Something I have noticed with my smoking style is that if you have a tobacco that is a very mild to mild and you are not getting what you want from it you puff more try a more medium tobacc the richness will cause you to slow down on your puffing and reduce the bite as well but i can make a sugestio...

Re: New Pipe Question

I do have to say after some ponderment that the idea of a bullnose chamber does make sence especially if you fold the flake rather than rubbing it out and the 13/16" size is what I normally drill all my tobacco chambers with but most of them are drilled with a more conical bit that a bullnose s...
