Thread: could one of you pipe smokers point me in the right direction?

So in my search for some blends to try out I have come across bullseye, flake, and plug. Is there a special way to treat these? Are there preferred ways to break them up to pack them?

You can rub them out to a finer ribbon form or do a simple fold and stuff. Rubbing it out will make for the easiest lighting and a faster burn, while the fold and stuff or less fine rubbed out will be harder to light but burn slower. Plug you'll probably have to cut into strips or chunks with a knife before using either method.

Just Put an order in for a couple MM corncobs and a few different blends and a pipe tool and cleaners. Just want to say thank you again for holding my hand.

When I was done with my order it was surprisingly less than I thought it would be. I hope I like a pipe as well or better than cigars, the cost savings would be incredible as long as I don't decide I need 50 pipes

Ah, and there is the rub! You have just acquired a new acquisition disorder and your subconscious already knows it! Ha.

I have only slightly fewer pipes than I do straight razors...better start building a new addition to the man cave for your new collection...

Oh and the really neat thing about a pipe is that you can use it multiple times over the course of a day... You can only shave once!

Enjoy.
