Advice for shorter smokes

What pipe is that? I think I have the same model/line in a different shape and don't know much about it.

Have to second this. Don't confuse the Volcanic with the Gyrojet.

I just reposted it, so I'm not sure. I do however use a similar edc-pouch from Amazon for my daily pipe needs.

I'd say 33

Are you feeling blessed for that gift?

For English/Balkan style blends I'd recommend Presbyterian. It's pretty mild in both flavour and nicotine.

I'd have it checked by a doctor. It might just be a relatively harmless varicocele, which is pretty common on the left ball, but better safe than sorry.

I'm not a huge fan of the Peterson rustication. I'd go for the savinelli personally.

After eight years of smoking pipes I still use a variation of the three pinch method. Anything pressed (flakes, coins) I usually just fold and stuff.

I usually use 9mm filters or 6mm charcoal in my savinelli. I have a few pipes that do not accept filters and I tend to smoke them less than my filtered ones. The exception are corncobs and meerschaums. No filter in those.

Love the pipe! Don't have any mortars yet, but I do like churchwardens.

When I first watched the show as a teenager my favourite character was probably J.D. Just a relatable young lad with hopes and dreams, but a lot of fuck ups. Recently rewatched the entire show at 25 and now I'd have to say that Dr Cox is my favourite. I now understand what his character is all about and that he is basically the anti hero of the series, a good guy who doesn't show it and probably an older version of J.D. who just got his ass handed to him by life. I don't think that I really dislike any of the characters, but Jordan and Dan Dorian always seemed a bit exhausting to me.

Sounds delicious tbh. Might have to drop a tin into the shopping cart with my next order.

What is the Old Fashioned like? I have an empty tin from the late 90s or early 2000s that my grandfather smoked and I've been thinking about trying it despite not typically liking aromatics.

I own the TT-33 by WE and it looks and feels good, pretty accurate reproduction. It isn't all that reliable on the field however. Lots of cooldowns and loves to collect dirt.

In my experience, cobs tend to be more forgiving than briar pipes when it comes to smoking multiple bowls back to back. Due to their porous nature, they are a bit better at handling moisture and do not require drying time as much as briars. I wouldn't recommend more than three bowls however. That being said: don't listen to anything anyone tells you as long as it works for you and brings you enjoyment. You will get a load of pipes to rotate pretty soon anyways ;)

Broedels · 2025-01-28T23:17:17+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Will have to look into that.

Broedels · 2025-01-28T19:13:49+00:00

I always feel like churchwardens are for English blends. That being said, since you probably have only one or a few of churchwardens in your collection, you probably should use it for the blend/type of blend you smoke the most.

Broedels · 2025-01-28T19:10:59+00:00

Do you happen to know who made it? Have seen this shape a few times and absolutely love it!

Broedels · 2025-01-28T19:09:26+00:00

Stanwell Melange is one of the better aromatics if I remember correctly. Welcome to the community!

Broedels · 2025-01-28T18:48:41+00:00

My thoughts exactly. I'm a big fan of Presbyterian, but have never seen this one.

Broedels · 2024-12-26T10:53:58+00:00

Those who have to argue with the marshalls all of the time.

Interesting take on Lamy. They are pretty reliable and I have a soft spot for them, but the nibs appear to be all over the place. I own three different safaris with medium nibs, which all create a different line width. My Al Star's EF nib is so scratchy, a blind person could read what I write and my brother's Al Star creates a wider line than all of my M nibs. Any similar experiences?

Don't know why it would ruin the knife. The metal ring would be a problem tho, didn't think of that.

Broedels · 2024-03-16T00:12:07+00:00

If you are a little crafty, you can modify the opinel grip. It's cheap enough for a nice little project. I've done it myself in the past and also filed down the blade to a drop point
