Tried some Skiff for the first time in my Boswell smooth churchwarden. Sipping some fine Canadian whisky and contemplating my next move..

After reading the ketchup thread, some McC Dark Star in my Boswell small bent rusty. Sipping some Champagne this evening...feeling regal :king: .

Banter aside, the answer to your question is basically, nothing. The machine would reboot and you'd be prompted again to download and/or install the updates that didn't take. That's all...no explosions. :joker: Other than those you saw here...

Got a li'l St. James Flake going in my beautiful Yak..

Been puffing some Peterson's Connoisseur's Choice throughout the date, in my aro-dedicated Bos freehand.

My first thought exactly. Nice to see there are still some around..... .....outside of this board, obviously.

Danish furniture...oh why do I love what I can't justify?? Oh.... :afro: ...sorry, pic sent me athinking....

A very exceptional white wine made by a gentle craftswoman in France. My last bottle of 2009. The 2010 wasn't as good, but I guess I'll have to pick up a few. Kicking some Peterson's Connoisseur's Choice with it...nice combo.

Found a comprehensive answer here, on pipesmagazine.com, courtesy of one Russ Ouellette: Yellow Virginia is usually the sweetest kind, being lemon to banana yellow and having a noticeable acidity to it with distinct citrus notes. Bright Virginia usually is a mixture of yellow and orange...

Yeah....Microsoft still sucks, in case anyone was wondering...

Most of my pipes are Boswells, and he coats them. The others I have are a Yak, the L'Anatra (no coats), and two Petes (coated) and I once had a Northern Briars that was coated as well. Of the 7 Boswells, one of them tasted 'funny'. Too sweet, in an off putting way, and didn't fit with the...

Cool...that make sense, and though I'm aware of the different curing methods, I didn't make the connection to the "red" or "yellow", etc. An "aha" moment...much obliged.

Read it previously, along with lots of other webpages regarding tobacco and pipe tobacco. Other than mentioning the descriptors I wrote, I still have not seen definitions of them, but thanks.

So, I see lots of descriptors used for VA. Some I know, some I ain't so sure, as they say... Stoved - this is heated and kinda ferments. Red - not real sure, other than a type of leaf like orange or lemon (I see black, too...). Or are they the colors resultant of some processing? How do the...

Yeah, this is what I'm shooting for, as well. All my pipes are bent, to some degree. And while my tobak is drier than I think it needs to be, and I pack my bowl looser than I think I should, since I smoke such a variety of tobak it happens. I've always got cleaners nearby, so I swab as needed...

This almost exactly mirrors my own thinking. I liked the fact that a local maker was turning out good stuff that was affordable. Seemed like a no-brainer, getting an artisan made pipe for less than most factory low grades. I've since experienced a few other brands, though my Yak is by far the...

Agreed!

Boswell always has pokers for sale. If not on the web, call them up...they're probably sitting on the shelf. Dave Jones always has one or two for sale on ebay at any given time. I hear they're quality smokers, and I rather like his stubby poker with the up angled shank and bit.

Nice, succinct step-by-step. Thanks. One question, though. I see that the accent rings seem to be about the same thickness...the white and the tortoise colored material. When you show the stem on the lathe, though, and then later on the finished pipe, the tortoise ring looks much thinner...

Took a lesson from you on the first :twisted: ....thanks for the second. Really, only option I have is to make sure they get zero marketshare from me & mine...consider that tick box checked! And, yes....I did smash the living F outta my broken box!
