Yes and the more I’m learning seems like you need at least a few pipes to rotate. Didn’t realize you weren’t supposed to smoke the same pipe on consecutive days due to moisture.Stubble said:See what yer gett'n into @NorCalR1 ?If you want to bomb me send it to Tony @0patience

You don’t need a bunch of pipes unless you plan on smoking a pipe everyday. If you do you’ll need a minimum of three pipes but see if you enjoy them first. I think waternerd found he didn’t enjoy them. It may not be your thing. From a pipe person we always want another brother in arms though.4

I’m looking forward to trying it out once my orders arrive. Thanks for the info I may start with 2 pipes and go from there.Eulogy said:You don’t need a bunch of pipes unless you plan on smoking a pipe everyday.

You can get away with it up to a point. There are variables, mostly concerning your pipe tobacco and its moisture content. Also how many times a day you smoke. I may smoke a certain pipe 4 or 5 days in a row, once a day after breakfast and running a cleaner through it after each smoke. Some tobaccos, Lane 1-Q comes to mind, will leave your pipe dripping wet after just one smoke. Things get sour pretty quick like that.NorCalR1 said:
Some things almost seem counter-intuitive to me. I was surprised to learn that light weight, less dense briers smoke better and are more forgiving of abuse than the heavier ones. Who'd a thunk it?
One of the sites, Smokingpipes.com I think, has some pretty good educational material."If you do not read the newspapers you're uninformed. If you do read the newspapers, you're misinformed." -- Mark Twain4 -
One tip about your tamper or pipe nail, you don't just use it when loading the bowl.onestrangeone said:You use the "tamper" to restrict the airflow thu the bowl from time to time to help it burn a little better.

Once you sample and if you dig it let me know. I can send samples of a bunch of different stuff to try out. My pipes have been a bit neglected the last few months, getting them back out into the rotation again.Team O'Donnell FTW!

Glad you like it, hope it gives you years of enjoyment! Stanwell, Savinelli, Moonshine, Poul Winslow, Neerup, Chacom, Comoys', BriarWorks, Missouri Meerschaum all make great affordable pipes just to name a few. There are a great many more affordable pipe makers out there. Enjoy! Like Brad said...if you want to sample more tobacco, just holler....Hey, you gonna eat the rest of that corndog?4
