I can always say, "I knew him when..." ;-)

Does anyone have any experience and/or opinions on the Gatlin Burlier's house pipes?

This has been spoken for.

Giving away a pipe... https://www.brothersofbriar.com/threads/free-to-good-home-0-00.41214/

I have this Kaywoodie 196 "Prince" that I have simply had no success in smoking well. The stinger is cut off, so you can get a pipe cleaner up the stinger end, but the lip is too narrow to get one in that way. The finish is dull, the name and "196" are barely visible. If you like to restore...

I have a related question, so I'll just post here. And by the way, thanks for the good advice above! Q: Is there anything about stem oxidation that is harmful to the smoker, or is it just unsightly?

For a sec, I read that as Tim Conway!

I figured as much! Reminds me of a guy at church. He's around 70, and loves motorcycles. Couple of years ago he dropped a bike on his leg, and that was a 6 month recovery. I asked him if his wife is making him sell his bikes. He replied that he had the bikes when he met her, "we're a...

So is it "no more horse riding" for the wife, or is that suggestion not even allowed on the table?

Yep, guess I'll keep her. ;)

I was perusing the Tobacco Pipes website, looking at what tobaccos they had. Ran across the Accountant's Mixture, and since my wife is a CPA, I sent her a screen shot of the can. She messages me back as you see in the attached pic. Well, yes, Ma'am! Never been told to buy tobacco before, so...

We had freezing rain here today, but still managed to get a couple of pipes in. Someone here had suggested that multiple salt/alcohol baths could be necessary to clean old pipes, so I did that on the Barling that my wife got me for Christmas, and yes, indeed, that made a huge difference. Had...

So what does Jose Feliciano sound like when he's smoking C&D Yorktown in an MM Morgan??

New avatar, puf? What's that from?

I've said before, I got the best of the bunch. The others wouldn't buy you a pipe, lol!

You might remember my post about my wife messaging me from the thrift store about a pipe she saw, then went back for (Dunhill Red Bark). Well, this acquisition is related, in that there was another pipe she bought and did not tell me about. This Barling, after researching, seems to be a...

I did manage a smoke tonight, even though it was 2° out. John Bull in a new to me pipe that my wife picked up. There's a story behind it, so I'll post that in a separate thread in the pipe forums.

Was -6° out and 56° in the house when I woke up. Yechh. House is 138 years old, so it has some undesirable 'featurez'. Fortunately, bedrooms are all relatively warm with their doors closed, it's the kitchen, dining, and living rooms that suffer. I broke out a couple of electric space...

It's a temporary problem of winter and the furnace running. We'll be at 90% humidity come Spring and all the way to September/October.

Not at all. Four small polyps sent for analysis - most likely nothing to worry about.
