    Lighter with adaptation to go down into the bowl?

    . Is that Zippo Flexneck a torch-style lighter? Bad news for pipes if it is. These cost about $18 at my local pipe store. The correct flame setting is a bit temperature sensitive. In cold weather I warm it in my hand or sit on it for a few minutes to mitigate that. Mine is several years old...

    Smoking in Films

    . Two images from Satan Met a Lady (Warner Bros.), a 1936 light hearted adaptation of Dashiell Hammett's The Maltese Falcon, starring a young and captivating Bette Davis, and Warren William as the gum shoe Ted Shane. In this scene Shane finds his missing pipe case, which had been stolen by...

    Here we go again, more bad news!

    That is a bummer. Its happened to me too. On the up side, it could be viewed as an opportunity to purge. Steve

    Interesting You Tube Guitarist

    Transgender, male to female. This mystery has drawn me in. I watched a lot of vids last night trying to follow the progression from 2008 uploads to the present. There are vids uploaded in 2010-2011 showing a player that might be the same person, where the lower face is masked and different...

    Interesting You Tube Guitarist

    . I can't stop watching the videos of this talented guitarist. This embedded selection below is "Mr. Crowley". The music starts at minute 1.0, then heats up after the intro parts...and its worth the wait. The hyperlink should show a bunch of other selections by the same artist. They're all...

    Are you looking for a new car?

    Driver differences accepted, it would have been a lot more informative if they had included a track time-series as part of the comparison. The Lotus, for instance, dead last in the drag, would have placed a lot higher in that. Steve

    OK I'm lost... DataBase help..

    CPAN has some modules that look good for this if you can script in Perl. In that case you could use the Perl DBI and appropriate DBD modules to populate whatever database you're working with. If you're using MS SQL Server its a little more complex to set up DB connectivity using Perl DBI, but...

    Lighter vs. Matches Poll

    . Prefer this to matches because I feel it reduces rim charring, and it works better for deep relights. .

    Cob newby question

    Wouldn't worry about this particular problem. I have several pipes like this, even with exposed catmollens and no problem. Steve

    Best Estate Pipes: Either name brands or individual makers

    . Old Wally Frank pipes of the "White Bar" grade appear infrequently on Ebay, but they can be a good buy. In the last 2 years I've found Eight of them at an average price of $27. Wally Frank "Heart of Root" are even rarer and might be a step down in grade, but they are still nice old pipes...

    Take a look at this piece of wood!

    I guess I'm going to be the spoiler in this thread. While the symmetry is outstanding, for that price I'd expect tighter grain than that, not that I'd buy any pipe that expensive. Steve

    Old Pipes

    Given the nomenclature and image on the pipe, I wondered if that might be Paul Kruger and not the surgeon himself, so I looked this up: Information in the Q&A section of the auction page indicates that owners of these pipes sometimes claim that the image was carved by a POW. This is pretty...
