Free aromatic tobacco

[CigarStone]

I tried but failed at pipe smoking. It was awesome when it was right but it was more often a hassle, I never learned to pack properly.

I have a lot of aromatic tobacco, some from 2008, which I will send to whoever says "I'm in". I will put a package of random stuff together for each person until I run out.

I'm in, and thank you. And hey, while I am here, anyone know of a decent pipe lighter?

Not cheap but I love my im corona old boy, sometimes I just use a good old fashioned bic.

Nate, look at my pipe, I want to be careful I don't mess up the top, I would buy a good lighter if I knew what to buy.

That's a gorgeous rig there Ed! Maybe try spills so you can have more angles to work away from pipe rim?

My favorite is the IM corona old boy
That is a great looking pipe Ed, unfortunately rims do get discolored, no matter how careful you are.

Zippo with pipe insert is pretty safe for a pipe lighter.

Whatever you use, keep the flame well above the rim and use the draw to pull it down into the bowl. Also, and this sounds funny, a little spit around the rim before lighting helps keep down the charring. Personally, I find the simple Bic lighter to be best all around. No fuss, no muss.

I am bided on eBay of an original Corona Old Boy. See what happens.

Vertigo made a pipe lighter very similar to the Corona Old Boy style. Might be worth looking at.

In my opinion, if keeping your rim clean is the goal, you’ll get the most control out of a zippo pipe lighter (shown below). They are designed to center the flame over the bowl and minimize charring or darkening. I’ve used most methods between butane and oxy-acetylene, and IMO I don’t believe zippos change the taste of the tobacco

I have one of these as well and find the flame less controllable. Plus, you have to keep up on the fluid, flint, wick, etc. The taste is significantly better than in the old days but still slightly noticeable, IMHO.
