Feel free to post tobaccos (no weed allowed), pipes, collections, pics of favorite combos for going /out/, pics of what you're doing with your pipe and any questions you might have.
Want to get into smoking pipes without spending too much cash?
Get a Missouri Meerschaum Legend corncob pipe and a pouch of either Prince Albert, Carter Hall or Half and Half tobacco, available at most drugstores.
Accessories needed: pipe, tobacco, lighter or matches, pipe cleaners, and either a regular old nail or a pipe tool (combination tamper, scoop, and small pick).
All of these together should run you less than $20.
Having trouble keeping your pipe lit? Pack it looser and smoke it slower than you think you need to, lightly tamping as needed when the smoke starts thinning out.
If you're still having trouble, try packing using the Frank Method, detailed here:

>>1031952 Is that your pipe? Classy cob. Good pick.
If you don't want sweet, probably avoid aromatics for now. Aromatics have a 'casing' added; some sort of flavor like cherry or vanilla. I haven't really tried many of these yet. They range from subtle and well-built like GL Pease to really over the top cheap brands in big bags.
You probably want to start with some sort of English or Balkan blend. If you want 'some' sweet, look for Virginia based tobaccos. If you want smokier/roastier, go for a Latakia base. Other tobaccos, like orientals and 'Perique', are used in any number of combinations to provide different flavor nuances.
For your first adventures in to pipe smoking, as a fellow new pipe smoker, consider at least two of any of the following:
Dunhill Durbar (Smokey and rich)
Peterson Old Dublin (Kind of sweet, rich flavor)
Old Dark Fired (Very rich and powerful, smoky/savory kind of taste)
Dunhill Nightcap (Didn't get to try much of this before my tin got ruined, good though)
Frog Morton (Mellow and sweet, wet hay, etc)
Other tobaccos I've liked include Escudo Navy Deluxe, Dunhill Flake, and a blend from
pipesandcigars.com called Stonewall which was ABSOLUTELY SUPERB but has been backordered.
You can get most of those in small quantities so you can try several. Just remember that tobaccos will ghost your pipe a bit and pass on some flavor profile depending on how much of one you smoke before another, time between smokes etc. Get some pipe cleaners and learn to use them to help this somewhat and to have a quality smoking experience in general.
Hope that helps! Make sure you have a tamper, too. Cheap nail-type ones are fine.

>>1031952 >cob Good choice, anon.
The stuff that sings with cobs are good old American burley blends. So think Carter Hall (cobs LOVE CH), Prince Albert, Half and Half, Sir Walter Raleigh, Five Brothers, Granger, Lane Limited Ready Rubbed and the like.
If you want to go stronger than that but still not sweet, go for English and English-like blends. Sutliff's Super Value English Mixture is a good low price English-type blend that's widely available in the US, as is McClelland's Frog Morton series. As for real English blends, the famous ones are Dunhill's 965, Nightcap, Early Morning Pipe, and Flake; Escudo; Samuel Gawith's Full Virginia Flake and Squadron Leader; Presbyterian; Balkan Sobranie and Balkan Sasieni; Mac Baren's Plumcake, Capstan Navy cut and Three Nuns; and Hearth and Home's Magnum Opus, Black House and White Knight.

Now I'm not saying pressed meerschaum is as awful as particle board-it isn't. But it is heavier than natural meerschaum and not absorbent. A naturally porous rock like meerschaum isn't porous anymore when there's an epoxy binder filling up the spaces and holding the dust together. And the epoxy adds to the weight too.

Quoted By:
>>1032239 Its not that simple though. Block meerschaum is very porous and will soak a lot of moisture, securing a dry smoke, and the pipe will get that classic meerschaum stain.
Pressed meerschaum is far worse at soaking moisture and will therefore never stain.

Anonymous

>>1034253 Depending on the brand, either:
1) rub it out in the palms of your hands, roll it into a ball and stuff the ball into the top of your pipe, or
2) fold the flake in half and just stuff it into your pipe.
Try both and see which one works better for you. The fold and stuff method is harder to light, but works better for some non-aromatics, while rubbed out is also called "The Mac Baren Handshake" for how well it works with their flakes.
Flakes burn slow, so smoke them slow and don't tamp until you absolutely have to. If you do it right, you will be well rewarded. Flakes have the best flavor of any pipe tobaccos I've tried. Very rich and satisfying.
Recommendations: Escudo, Dunhill Navy Rolls, Dunhill Flake, Stokkebye Luxury Bullseye Flake (one of the best flakes for beginners, and it's available in bulk), Erinmore Flake (an aromatic, and best when rubbed out), Capstan Navy Flake, Mac Baren Mixture, and Three Nuns.

he didnt speak much Danish so in the beginning he was pretty reserved but as we got on the days he warmed up. when we had longer downtime on islands or whatever he would walk away from the rest of us, sit down somewhere, with a hookah, colapsible i assume but i dont know, and played arab music on his phone real quiet and he just kinda chilled. he was my "follow buddy" for some of the paddling and it was really sweet having him trying to describe "waves" without knowing the different words for them, like making hand gestures and stuff.
and he also hiked a full sized hookah in on a solo overnight trip where we took pictures of our individual camps and such, his was LITERALLY just a tarp, and his hookah and a sleeping matt, nothing fancy but his spot had the best view.

On the bright side, I've found that as a rule the worse shape the pipes are in when I buy them, the better they smoke. One of my GBDs was so plugged with tar it wouldn't pass a pipe cleaner through the stem-it's one of my best pipes. The Peterson I restored in the last thread was FILTHY inside, stem plugged and caked to heck. It smokes effortlessly now. Brand name or no name; bent or straight; big or small; briar, cob or meerschaum-the rule holds. If it takes a pack of pipe cleaners to get all the trash out, you're probably going to have a heck of a pipe on the other end.

I recently inherited a pipe and some other pipe things from my grandfather. I was wondering if anyone had some info on the pipe. I dont have pictures of the other stuff but pic related is the pipe. The metal on the stem says "Boede Waagen Holland" i looked online briefly but didn't find anything. No idea what the material is. The metal band also looks to be cracking, is there anyway to fix that?
Anonymous
>>1035780 Well, it's a meerschaum (sepiolite, a clay) pipe with a moderately oxidized vulcanite (hard rubber) stem.
Boede Waagen was a regional mass-producer of pipes. They're of decent quality but aren't particularly worth much (I can find a few expired ebay listings in the $20-80 range).
Odds are the band isn't cracked, but a section of rolled metal over the stem base, and it's just separating a bit at the seam. Shouldn't affect functionality at all as it's cosmetic. It is fixable but the fix (done professionally) would cost more than the pipe is worth.
That pipe looks to be in good shape. Should serve you well if you decide to use it.

>>1035780 It's a clay. And the brand name is actually Goedewaagen.
Holland is famous for its clay pipes, and Goedewaagen was one of the biggest makers in the famous ceramics town of Gouda up until they went bankrupt in 1982. They still make lots of other ceramic things, but pipes aren't generally among them apart from the occasional run of souvenirs.
If that band holds the mouthpiece well enough, i'd keep it as-is.

Any advice on casing some tobacco? I have a very basic/bland Virginia I want to play with. I've thought about casing it with raw honey and/or pecans. I'm not sure how to go about it but don't mind experimenting a bit and wasting it all. Any help on getting started would be appreciated

this is gonna sound stupid but do you inhale from a pipe the same way you would a cigar?
Anonymous
>>1037400 You keep it in your mouth. Very few inhale it fully but it's not common. Hence why pipes are looked at as a hobby and not an addiction.
You can also exhale it through your nose, called retrohaling , which opens up more of the flavor profile and helps you pick things out.
Anonymous
>>1037402 Retrohaling will also help you smoke slower since snorting out steam will ruin your session.
Anonymous
>>1037379 Dilute the honey with some water and/or everclear (or other neutral-flavored alcohol; it acts as a carrier for the flavor when you need it to and evaporates away when you don't) , so you can put it into a spray bottle and wet the shredded tobacco with it.
Spray it lightly, toss it around to mix it up, spray a little more then let it dry back out for a day or so. Taste and see if it's how you like it. If it is, you're done; if not, repeat.
For pecan flavor I'd mix it with everclear, then mix that solution 50/50 with sugar water (sugar helps the flavors adhere to the tobacco), dump that into a spray bottle, and mist as above.
Let us know how it turns out.

>>1031746 Joke's on you.
The big cigarette brands sold off their pipe tobacco lines decades ago due to low sales.
A few threads back there was news the owner of the Dunhill trademark said they were going to discontinue all Dunhill pipe tobaccos by the end of the year. Same story as always-low sales.
"Big Pipe Tobacco" is more and more a contradiction in terms nowadays. Just two companies own most of the familiar pipe tobacco brands sold in the US, and neither is very big. Beyond them, it's mostly individual shopkeepers and local pipe clubs doing stuff out of back rooms and working with bulk tobaccos to make basic blends.
And thanks to the FDA's new deeming regs, we don't know if there will even BE any new blends of tobacco approved. Simply put, the process is opaque, slow, legalistic and extraordinarily expensive-far more so than most individual businesses can afford to spend.

Also, be ready for the stuff to be harder to light than your average pipe tobacco. More moisture + less surface area to light=longer time needed to take a flame. .

>>1041188 Glad you enjoyed it.
The thing you experienced was called "tongue bite", and it's a small steam burn on your tongue that comes from packing too hard and smoking too fast.
Try puffing lightly instead of drawing firmly, and pacing yourself to once every 5-10 seconds. Ideally it should feel like a small sip from a glass, not sucking a milkshake through a straw.
Another thing you can do to keep from burning your tongue is not packing our pipe so firmly. One thing I do and recommend is what's been called the "codger scoop" due to lots of long-timers filling their pipes this way. The way you do it is use your pipe like a scoop in your tobacco pouch, fill it, shake it so that the tobacco falls to the bottom, scoop again to top it off, shake off any excess and you're done. You won't win any long-smoking competitions with this, but you will have an enjoyable, cool, dry and flavorful smoke that lights easily and stays lit. All that you have to do afterward is just tap the side and/or tamp very lightly when the smoke gets a little thin.
For more tips on how to get the most out of your cob, try reading this. It helped me out a lot when I was getting started.

i think Pinden bar allows but i havnt been there in years
"det rene glas" allows smoking.
Bo-Bi Bar. allows smoking, no cell phones allowed though, you have to go outside for that
>basiclly just asking for the name of that bar that bar does not allow smoking indoors, but there are a few chairs outside but they get brought in around 22:00 i think. bars name is Voodoo lounge. plays rock and metal of varying quality and on thursdays you can get a jug og beer for 100kr
there are many more, just give it a quick google and you can look for some in your area

>>1041865 >no cell phones allowed though, you have to go outside for that I wish this was a rule everywhere. People talking to a little box or typing on a little box or watching a little box instead of engaging the people around them. That's way more toxic than a little smoke.
Anyway...
Here's my new Peterson. Gunna pack it with some Three Nuns and sadly smoke inside today, stupid rain

>>1041920 >I wish this was a rule everywhere. Yea it gives a great bar environment where people engage a lot more with each other. They also have the oldest bar desk in Copenhagen if I remember. And couples with the ability to smoke inside you don't get the split bar feeling where half the people are outside smoking and the rest stare into phones
That's a beautiful Peterson man! Enjoy

>>1041829 What tobacco are you smoking?
If it's a flavored tobacco (usually called "aromatics"), you should know that those types tend to be very wet, smoke wetter than plain tobaccos, and the sugars used to hold the flavoring to the leaves attract moisture. To deal with this you'll want to do three things to get the most out of you :
1) fill your pipe very loosely
2) let the tobacco dry out for a little while before lighting (a half hour works well), and
3) puff very slowly and lightly.
If you puff like a steam train for the first couple of minutes you can soak the unburnt tobacco underneath, and that's bad times. Puffing slowly and lightly allows the moisture to escape from the top of the bowl and away from your mouth. This keeps the tobacco dry and your tongue intact.
Also with aromatics, you have to be very gentle with the tamper, only tamping lightly when you just can't keep the tobacco going. Often when I smoke an aromatic I will go 10-15 minutes before my first tamping, and that will collapse over half of the tobacco in the bowl when I touch it.
Finally, lighting.
The standard pipe lighting method is a two-match light. The first match is called the "charring light"; it dries out and fluffs up the tobacco on top, getting it ready to take a flame. After the charring light, tamp softly and apply match number two. Light the entire surface of the bowl until it all glows when you puff lightly. A good solid light up front will keep you from puffing like mad trying to keep it lit and causing all of the other problems because of it.

>>1041829 Another thing that can help control moisture in your pipe is to take it out of your mouth between puffs.
One of the things I discovered I was doing was breathing back down the stem of the pipe. This would cause the moisture in my breath to condense on the tobacco, where it would flash to steam when the burning ember hit it and give me tongue bite. By simply taking the pipe out of my mouth between puffs I didn't breathe down the pipe stem and my smokes got a LOT drier.
Plus I think it's pretty cool to watch the smoke slowly curling up and out of the mouthpiece.

also, get tipsy but not too drunk, if you get too sloshed you wont be able to inject yourself into other peoples open conversations or you may miss important social cues.

Madsen Maskingevær !!o9Rj2xAYif5

>>1042663 There are some deposits in Tanzania. It's denser than Turkish meer, so it's heavier, not quite as absorbent and doesn't color as readily.
When Turkey went full export ban in the early 1970s, a lot of the big European brands turned to African Meerschaum to fill the void and it was everywhere for a while. I don't think there is currently a supplier of African block meerschaum in any quantity right now, so any African meer pipe you do get will have to be estate.
One thing to be very careful of with meer pipes: pic related. It is the maker's mark for Pioneer, a big maker of African Meer pipes for lots of brands, and its maker's mark is (probably intentionally) VERY similar to Peterson's. Unless the pipe SPECIFICALLY marked with the Peterson name or something else that ties it to Peterson (like verified Dublin hallmarks on the silver band), assume the pipe is a Pioneer.
Pioneer pipes aren't bad, just not worth as much as a Peterson.

Madsen Maskingevær !!o9Rj2xAYif5
>>1042820 >so I can stain the bowl myself 100%. this was actually kind of my logic for buying estate for my first meerschaum. i was actually in the shop looking for a really beat meerscaum so i could "test" how to smoke meerschaum and how it felt smoking meerschaum.
but i just fell in love with that pipe. it even has a scratch that looks like my initials on it. im gonna treat it like dir though, respectfully.
im not gonna baby it, that pipe is gonna see some beatifull sunrises and smokey camp sites
" make sure to have clean hands when touching meerschaum" No, its gonna have campfire ash and fish blood,
bit its gonna give it character, dont underestimate the strength of a pipe pre WW1 pipes kicking about still, the least i can do i feel, i contribute to its history

"Made in Turkey" on the side and everything.
Just for people reading along, the easy way to tell if a pipe's made of either block or pressed meer is with a few small droplets of water on the outside of the pipe.
Block meer is porous, so the water will soak into the body of the pipe. Pressed meer isn't (there's epoxy binder holding the meet dust together), so the water will either run off or just sit there.
>>1042827 >pre WW1 pipes are kicking about still Don't I know it. I've got a few, and still smoke them. I even made a new mouthpiece for one of them (pic related) a couple threads back.
They're generally smaller in size but just as functional as modern designs. And sometimes even more so, because the army mount pipes popular in the WWI era were designed to be taken apart while still hot and stowed disassembled in a pocket. Try that with a regular pipe and you're going to get a cracked stem (ask me how I know...)
Don't be afraid to use your pipes while /out/ guys. They're not fragile bits of priceless glass. They're tools, and durable. And like all tools their value comes from their utility.
Meerschaum is weatherproof and won't warp or deform in high humidity environments. Briar is nearly fireproof and very abrasion resistant. Corncobs are light and very tolerant of abuse-if one goes swimming, just set it out in the sun to dry, no harm done. All are more durable than cigars or cigarettes, yet still light and don't take up much space.
The chipped and dirty $7 cob you take everywhere with you and smoke all of the time is a much more integral part of your life than a pristine, $600 custom carved meerschaum that sits on your shelf just looking like it belongs in a museum.

The other poster is right but I would like to add that corn cob pipes are cheap.
Weed will make it taste different, and a previously owned pipe might not work as well since tobacco flavor will mix in.
If you want buy a cheap new corn cob from a drug store or online that's not a terrible waste of money. Get pipe cleaners and after smoking out of it for a short while you will probably use it sparingly compared to glass, which isn't a terrible thing.
Would recommend not putting it for sale as tobacco pipe smokers wouldn't like it.
This shouldn't be a big deal though if you tell someone up front or just keep/throw away the pipe as it such a cheap corn cob anyway.
