Articles added to library

Just a quick update… I’ve added the following articles to our library today, make sure to check out the “Pipe Related Articles” page for updates. As our forum discussions provide more information, we’ll be adding to this library regularly!

This is a series of articles put together by our very own Master Blender Russ Ouellette.

Through the discussions in our forums, and contributions by our club members, we’re gathering a collection of pipe related articles. This page will serve as an “index” of sorts for these articles.

  1. Accessories for newbies

    One of the most frequently asked questions from new pipe smokers is “What do I need other than a pipe and some tobacco?” Here are some ideas for you.

  2. New Pipe Break In

    A common sense approach to packing, smoking, and cleaning your new pipe. Suggestions for different types of pipes are included.

  3. How to pack a pipe

    the tried-and-true “three-layer” method

  4. Cleaning your pipe

    Cleaning a pipe is, for the most part, a fairly simple task, but it can also get rather involved if more intensive cleaning is required.

  5. Cleaning that old nasty estate pipe (or just a soured one) [read it here]

  6. Stems- Vulcanite vs. Acrylic

    There are two main types of materials used for pipe stems- Vulcanite (ebonite or hard rubber) and Lucite (acrylic). Each has its advantages and disadvantages.

  7. Filter or no filter?

    The question of whether to use a filtered pipe or not is more complex than it appears on the surface.

  8. Prepping pressed, spun or rope tobaccos for smoking

    Some very popular tobaccos come in the form of a cake, flake, spun and rope. Preparing them for smoking is an individual thing, but here are some guidelines

  9. Aging Pipe Tobacco

    A lot of people have discovered that aging pipe tobacco can make for a more pleasurable smoking experience, but, as with many things about pipes and tobaccos, there are a number of misconceptions and a lot of misinformation out there, so let’s look at some thoughts about aging tobacco.
