    Upside down all the things?
    There was an Anthropology professor at the college near here who always smoked his pipe upside down.  "Heat goes up, right?" he'd say. 

    Smoked while he lectured. 

    Oh my God!  Those poor children must have all...

    Survived somehow, and never thought about it for a minute. 

    You know they'd castrate him today.  Half his class would be at the clinic faking asthma attacks and getting cancer screenings.  Parents would be filing law suits claiming that little Johnny and little Suzy had been scarred for life.

    "Nothing like this has happened since we let them watch that horrible movie that promotes smoking, The Hobbit!  Whatever shall we do?"

    Do you put a screen on it or just pack it super tight?

    No screen, just a normal pack, it might not work with a cube cut but with anything else no problem.

    I've been trying different tobaccos and found that i like flakes and cakes although I have found them more exacting to load. The flake expands a bit when burning. Also found I like a medium or medium full body and I think that is because I'm used to cigars. All in all I'm having fun and working on another pipe. Any suggestions on a med strong flake I might like? I like Drew Estate Luxury Flake.

    Peter Stokkey Luxurey Bullseye,  Solani aged burly flake, Dunhill flake, C&D burly flakes, Mac Barons old dark fired and McClellands blackwoods are a few that I like, these are med-full and a bit stronger than the DE.

    Thanks for the info. I ordered some of what you suggested. Just got finished with C&D Black Frigate in a cool smoking cob.

    Russ' Monthly Blend - Summer Splash. Seriously, a orange creamcicle

    This stuff just needs to be dried out a little (much like just about any aro), and it smokes like a dream.

    That sounds delicious!! These aros are really grabbing my attention. I think that is what I loved about the hookahs I used to smoke, the different flavors. However, those hookah days are gone and I an more dignified and refined with my pipe.

    eklektos44 I see you've picked up the S.T.O.P. John Cotton's Smyrna and War Horse, are you liking these blends?

    I picked up a tin of their Bengal Slices as that was one of my favorites a couple of decades ago.  I like the S.T.O.P. Bengal Slices but find it very similar in taste and form to Russ' Fusilier's Ration and when I had both open tins lying around needing to be jarred up I decided to just throw them in together.  I do admit that I miss the old Bengal Slices coins and I think I preferred them over the flake cut of the new blends.

    I thought about picking up some War Horse or John Cotton, but held back.  Hope you're enjoying them.

    I love the Smyrna. I have tins of #1 and #1&2, but haven't cracked them yet. I have tins of Bengal Slices I haven't opened yet also. As to the War Horse it okay, but others I know love it. I've got about 30 tins of various things I haven't gotten to yet. I just don't like having too much open at one time. I've been getting into SPC Potlatch this past week, and finishing off some open tins. But the Smyrna I can recommend highly, especially if you like Latakia, which I do. It's a bit brighter than Vintage Syrian, which I also love.

    Thanks, I do love latakia, and I do know what you mean about not wanting too many tins open at once, I jared up my open ones since I've been more about cigars than pipes lately.

    Actually it's a Powell. Great guy, if somewhat quirky. B)
