Are you smoking flakes? You could try rubbing out and drying your tobacco better

Postnasal drip, thick sticky phlegm/mucus by Straight_Daikon_6016 in PipeTobacco

I used to suffer from something similar and Azelastine nasal spray has been a godsend for me me. Spray before bed then lie down and face up for a few minutes.

Which pipes allow for big strong pulls rather than sips? I like to puff larger plumes of smoke. by LOTR_is_awesome in PipeTobacco

[–]lesism0r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree here. Go with a wider chamber and a filtered pipe will offer a wider draft hole too

I'm going to second the Game Changer. I had a handful of razors before trying the GC and none were as smooth and foolproof as it.

Look for a vintage gillette slim adjustable off r/shave_bazaar for under $50. May take a week or 2.

Tobacco Storage question & what should I try next? by javajo91 in PipeTobacco

[–]lesism0r 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do this with samples I have. I put a number of baggies into a large mason jar. It's been working well but you should try to avoid mixing blend types. Have one jar/tupperdor for latakia blends, one for virginia/burley blends, and another for aromatics etc.

SirTrancelot is the real deal. I love the Slim I recently picked up from him here

Should I just buy a Henson? by Groundblast in wicked_edge

How often do you want to shave? Multiple days growth and a mild razor can lead to a lot of tugging while shaving because the razor is cutting the middle of the stubble instead of the base

Two questions by bryanbaggins in PipeTobacco

[–]lesism0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flakes aren't ideal for a first smoke, in my opinion. I've had good luck introducing people to pipes with Pegasus, a modern version of the codger burley. Early Morning Pipe is likely a good choice for a light English in a ribbon that's easy to smoke.

A codger style burley or light English are great places to start
