Thread: Pipe of the Day

Not sure if I've said it before but I really like Nightblade's pipe pillow.

Thanks man....it's nuttin fancy. I just bought some fabric from the fabric store ,sewed up a square and filled it with dried beans. works like a champ.

It's the simplicity that I like. The color/pattern remind me of something my grandma would have made for my grandpa and that is high praise indeed.

And if things get tight you got an extra meal handy!

So after all that talk about pipe juice I tried a little experiment. I smoked a bowl of fairly dry tobacco in my bent basket pipe. Then a bowl of the same tobacco in my bent Molina tall rhodesian. the bowls are about the same size, although the moline is tapered and the other isn't. I smoked them both as slow as I could. (Lot's of relights!) neither pipe has a moisture trap. The basket pipe had no juice at all but the molina produced about a pint. Well, not quite a pint, but there was a lot. I still don't get how one pipe produces so much more juice than another when they're such a similar shape.

Enjoying some Frog Morton cellar blend and contemplating why no juice this time around. This tobacco is rather dark and sticky. I may be getting better at packing the bowl but who knows? Its yummy and the crickets at chirping at a much slower rate hmmm.

Does that mean it's getting cooler or that the crickets are stopping to enjoy the smell of your pipe?

Maybe but as temperature drops crickets slow down but yes I hope they enjoy the smell as well.

You know, I don't think there really is one singular cause for juice and such and you'll go nutty trying to figure it out . I just personally think it's all in the cake but really it don't mattah , things will get better or you'll just get more PAD and have more good pipes to smoke from.

I've been breaking one of the newer rules of pipe smoking and have primarily been smoking one pipe for the last month. Have to give it a good cleaning with Bicardi 151 and let it rest a while now, but it has just been smoking and tasting so good. I can smoke five bowls without using a pipe cleaner, it smokes that dry.

Just loaded another Castello, same model number, as close as they can be for hand made pipes and had to use a pipe cleaner during the first bowl. Pretty sure no difference in my packing or technique.

Some pipes were blessed by the gods when they were made, some were not.
