    Just retired...

    Ok, I pulled the trigger and am now a social security insurance recipient - I'm jobless, too. Someone please enlighten me, I often wake up and have this feeling of being in Entropy. Is this a common malady of the recently retired? :unsure:

    Anyone else do this?

    Back when Christian Pipe Smokers Forum existed, I once sent a de-labeled tin of Orlik Golden Sliced to a fellow brother in Australia. Apparently, Australia has the heaviest tobacco tax in the world, where a 1.75 oz tin costs almost $30, (USD). I had to get creative on the customs form, declaring...

    Well howdy from PA Dutch Country

    Hey Mike, I've got a childhood friend I've known for 50 years living in Marrickville, a suburb of Sydney. He's italian and immigrated to AUS when his company transferred him there, living there 20+years, now retired. He definitely fits right in with the laid back Aussie lifestyle. Speaks a...

    What Are You Smoking Pages.

    Ok, I may be new here, but these posts really humor me - none of them reveal a pipe that has actual burning tobacco in it. Further, I believe some, maybe even a lot of them, were made using file photos.:LOL:

    Amazon basics retractable pens, white barrel,1.0mm point

    I enjoy using these, they've got a solid metal clip, click on and off well, and are decently ergonomic in the hand, (And inexpensive coming in packs of 12). However, I've found that most of the time, when using them intermittently, when one first puts point to paper, a small excess of ink flows...

    Why can't Missouri Meerschaum include stronger stems on their cobs?

    MM has just recently introduced strong acrylic stems on a 2 or 3 of their pipes- at about double the price. How hard would it be to put strong acrylic stems on most of their pipes? Those cheap plastic stems get crimped so easily. I figure, adding a $3-4 upcharge to the price and by using...

    Well howdy from PA Dutch Country

    I'm a refugee, now immigrant from the long defunct Christian Pipe Smokers Forum, (CPS). I'm looking to re-establish contact with other immigrants from CPS and meet new folks on Brothers of Briar. I smoke both briar, meerschaum, and MM corncob pipes - most of my briars were given me as gifts from...
