Packing the pipe
Wed, 09/01/2010 - 21:36 — RobTGents I still claim to be novice here so your help would be appreciated.
I smoked a cigarette this evening (after almost 3 weeks of no cigs) and noticed the draw on a cigarette to be a lot harder than my pipe when I pack it normally (according to me).
So the question is: Should a pipe be packed densely (tightly) enough so that it draws similar to that of a cigarette, or should it draw easier (like air through a snorkel)? Also, when puffing - does one draw a full mouthful (like when very thirsty drinking CocaCola from a straw) or just a little at a time?

1st September is traditionally Spring Day in SA - & it's a truly beautiful day. Temperature here up at 29C, which is quite hot. I'm smoking Bayou Morning Flake in a Jan Pietenpauw rhodesian. Enjoy your day, whatever hemisphere you're in.

Hello everyone,
I have aquired a bunch of unsmoked Ruthenberg estates from a collector who asked me to try to sell them for him to fund a nightclub he is building.
They are all in the same condition as when they were new. Not one of the pipes needed to be buffed to shine them and the owner doesnt have a buffing wheel. The only thing that had to be done to them is the silver work had to be cleaned as it had tarnished.
I think he bought them then put them in the drawer and forgot about them.
Yes again it hit out of the blue, don't really know what to do. Here is the list of this small hit :-D
3x100g #222 Flake (Poul Olsen) Virginia flake, a all day smoke for me, and I know TR say it has Latikia but I have never tasted that in this fine VA.
1x100g FF 3 Nuns (Poul Olsen) This is a new to me, I really looking forward to tast this, due to I really like Bell three Nuns, I always have a tin open of that fine blend.
2x50g W.O Larsen Flake Cut. Also new to me, but the review on TR made me try this out, I like Shamrock and it has become a flake I smoke every day.

It's a nice late summer day. I'm smoking some nice My Own Blend "blå cale", by paul olsen one more nice VA flake. Smoking it in a Savinelli Oscar panel billiard #506, a very nice pipe, always given me a cool and dry smoke. So gents, what's in your pipes today?

Good day fellows. A really warm early Spring day here - t-shirt warm, in fact. Yesterday I had my pipe-smoking buddy & fellow flyfisherman, Piet over for coffee. We cracked two baccy's - a new tin of Bayou Morning Flake & an 18-month old mason jar of Bayou Morning (C&D Vapers). It was really interesting comparing the pressed vss the ribbon cut & the remarkable effects of age on this blend. One of Bob Runowski's blends, heavy on the Perique, it is a long time favourite. Piet was impressed too. Right now it's OGS in my Pete 2009 POTY. Enjoy your Monday smokes.

Morning chaps. Sunny & quite warm today. I've been laid low by a bladder infection so I'm going pretty slow today. Still enjoying the odd pipe though. Right now it's OGS in a Pete Rossclare. Enjoy your Thursday smokes.
