    I do have a basic "spice" grinder but rarely use it. I also usually don't rub out coins or flakes, instead preferring to fold and stuff them for a nice, rich, longer smoke. It's not as easy to keep lit, but I find it rewarding. Drying out the tobacco first really helps.

    This old thread on Pipe Smoker's Den really helped me learn to love pressed tobacco, but I think most pipe smokers prefer to rub the tobacco out before smoking.

    @Ross_G89 , I started this thread a long time ago for cigar smokers who are interested in pipes. Lots of folks contributed, lots of information along the way.

    I did buy a cheaper pipe, $18 along with a tamper, a box of filters and cleaners. Now I just need to find a few blends I like. Thanks for the recommendations every one.

    Speaking of filters do many of you use them? I only used the one that came in my pipe and didn’t even realize it was there until first time running a cleaner through it. I might grab a pack to try em out now that I’ve figured out which end of the pipe goes in your mouth.

    I haven't tried filtered pipes except for some old Carey Magic Inch pipes that had a papyrus tube that the smoke passed through under some vent holes that was said to give a cooler, smoother smoke. I did at times tape over the vent holes to get more flavor out of those pipes.

    Regarding a cigar, the pipe and the open road, go forward without hurry, learn the essence of things through frequent experiences, taking advantage of every occasion.

    Pull 'em and discard. Though, it does leave a cavity that becomes prone to condensation and I find I have to use a pipe cleaner more often to get rid of the gurgle.

    I have yet to experience any gurgling. I’ve heard about it quite a bit and kind of assumed it was because I only have a Cobb so far and they absorb moisture well

    That and most cobs are straight. Any gurgling I’ve experienced has only been with bent pipes.

    If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.
