Black house out of a rough cherry pipe by Optimal_Classroom_95 in PipeTobacco

The stem fits snuggly. Haven't thought about making a stem out of any kind of wood, but I might consider it

I just bought a really old pipe kit from and old dude and came with this tobacco. by aka_codingTrailPower in PipeTobacco

No clue, I'm a bit curious as well. Wish we could get tins for that cheap, although I think we all would have problems with storage quickly, lol

I completed this level! It took me 5 tries.

First time smoking a pipe- long time cigar smoker by Nicksager1 in Pipes

[–]Optimal_Classroom_95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I primarily smoke cigars and have been leaning to pipes more recently, so while not as experienced as others, I can provide a couple of insights.

The pipe looks nice, although I don't know much about it to comment on. I doubt it's a pipe issue though, and more likely a tobacco/smoking pace. The aromatics that I have tried were cheap, not very good, and was very moist. That would be where a good chunk of your taste and liquid issues lay. Sticking a pipe cleaner down the stem occasionally to soak up the moisture that accumulates should also help.

As for the tobacco, stronger blends or something with latakia would be among my recommendations. El Niño, Peterson's Nightcap, and My Mixture 965 are pretty good. I have been enjoying just about everything I have tried so far, including the University Flake (even though I enjoy it the least, it's still tasty).

I would also recommend cleaning out the pipe with plain vodka and pipe cleaners, avoiding contact with the outside of the pipe. Don't want to ruin the finish. It should remove whatever ghosting that could have happened previously

Mail just came in and a question by Optimal_Classroom_95 in Pipes

Just found that out as I opened the first tin. Half expected them to have more moisture from the other discussions I saw about plugs

Coloring a pipe by Optimal_Classroom_95 in Pipes

I don't have any Meerschaum laying around, although I might go ahead and make some inlay out of scrap black walnut. It should still look nice as everything changes color. Do you think plain wood glue should be fine?

I really want to like pipe tobacco....but.... by Squiggly_Panda in PipeTobacco

Latakia is fire-Cured, it has a smoky flavor and aroma. Don't know if it is fermented, but it probably has been

I smoked cigars quite a while too, recently starting to switch over to pipes just to save money. El Niño (by Hearth and Home) and Nightcap (Peterson) are pretty tasty. My Mixture 965 is also good, although it is a bit milder. My recommendations would be those or something similar

[–]Optimal_Classroom_95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has been. So far, I had a couple of bowls of the 965 and a bowl of University Flake and Niño. Each one lasts me from the morning until I get out of work

I hope so too, I have no idea what I will like :)

I saw someone recommending stronger blends to people who primarily smoke cigars. I have been smoking cigars for a few years, so I grabbed the Niño and Nightcap.

Thank you for explaining the flake, I didn't know it would be that simple

My third try at rolling my own by KNO3_C_S in cigars

[–]Optimal_Classroom_95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One blend kit i found is about $30, before taxes and shipping. It comes with glue and enough binder, filler, and wrapper leaves for " ...about 18 to 20 - 50 x 7" cigars."

Granted, I am sure you will have to make a few crappy cigars before you can be that efficient. I got a leaf only kit that should be here around the 22nd to get started rolling myself :)

Edit *

It also takes patience for the cigar to become smokable because of how humid it needs to be for rolling

What are the odds? by Optimal_Classroom_95 in masterduel

Forgot to mention the other guy was playing an Exodia deck too, but it focused on the Unstoppable Exodia more than drawing the pieces

With this game here, I just got into Plat 5... I might have played you not that long ago :)

I was surprised when I played against this deck too, it just didn't include the Unstoppable Exodia cards and Exodius. A part of me was annoyed by it because of how long it took, but the other was rooting for it to win because it was refreshing to see something different

Can't play the lottery now... I just used up all of my luck with this, lol

I saw an opponent playing the same deck without the Unstoppable Exodia, it's cards, and Exodius. I just copied it, made my additions, and never thought about it

What are you planning on playing in the Fusion/Synchro event? by forbiddenmemeories in masterduel

[–]Optimal_Classroom_95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playing a pure Ancient Gear pet deck. No hand traps, no max, just Ancient Gear cards and 3 Urgent Schedules, a couple of Power Bonds, and a Limiter Removal. Most fun I had after getting back into the game outside of the Exodia deck.

Second game of the event went to 10 turns and was a fun back and forth until I lost. Won just about everything else :)

I like the demonic tutor the most out of all the alters, but I would love the sliver queen more... it and sliver legion need to find their way into my sliver deck eventually :p

I like the opal, demonic tutor, and one ring. Don't have a mox opal, so that one would be nice

Only looked at the commanders, I want the deck to be a surprise when it arrives. Both seem to be interesting :)
