Yuck, Crabs... Most species eat anything dead that sinks to the bottom, such as all animals including human remains. Ok, crabs are among a group of watery waste management experts., counterpart to land animals, such as vultures. Very important to the environment. Still won't eat them. Now...

'Morning all ! As I have re-learned how to smoke pipes, (Nice and easy v.s. Fast and Furious), believe I'll re-evaluate Honey and Chocolate made for Scotty's Bulk Blends by Sutliffe. Apparently, Russ Oulette, master blender created this for Pipes and Cigars.com, the very lucrative division of...

Two of my emergency back up sources of light, oil lanterns: 1) W.T.Kirkman #350 Little Giant Cold Blast Lantern Cold Blast oil lanterns, (Also AKA Hurricane Lamps), do not re-circulate products of combustion and therefore give about twice the volume of light as Hot Blast Lanterns. Not...

Jesus, I ask that Mr.Ranger's chemo goes as planned, with little to no side effects, and that that cancer be eliminated completely. Amen. Peter

Ah , the manifold qualities of wool - somewhat fire retardant, insulates even when wet, bacteriostatic, sweat absorbing, list goes on...

Well, well, aren't you something. ;) Going after water fowl? Gotta like those pipes!

Sure, You talking about the CI brick and mortar store or the CI Superstore? Those are two different locations, brick n mortar, downtown Bethlehem and CI superstore, Nazareth Pike, Bethlehem. If you live in NW Jersey, near the PA border, then I suggest the CI superstore Hamburg, as it's more...

A little late to hop in on this but, I will anyways. My mancave/smoking den/hobby-hobbit cave: Step outside through kitchen door and onto open air deck, screw the weather! The wife has reactive airway syndrome, though now greatly diminished and the 'ole inhaler tends to gather dust in the...

Well gosh Andy from NJ! Welcome from PA Dutch Country. Remember, just like voting in Chicago in the corrupt old days: Post early and post often! By the way, what does TYM stand for? Peter

Wow, what a racket! You got to pay to play. I wonder how the organizers made out.

I can't believe the prices of new pipes, what used to be had for $40 is now 60, what was 60 is now 80, what was 80 is now $100. I reckon we're paying 66.7 % more than in early 2020. Don't even get me started on Estate Pipes, they're priced out of reach - down right criminal. I think pipe makers...

Any savvy real estate... (Part 2) My son's answer, (Via the b----): "We're going ahead with it." He'll be crying the blues when housing prices have nowhere to go but down. His monthly budget will be so thin it will be Ramen Noodles for weekday supper and cans of pork and beans for Sunday Dinner...

My son has a big problem: Closing on a house , he cannot afford. Details: A dirtbag agent steered him and his wife to a house that's way over his budget. Closing is tomorrow, down payment tomorrow. Sale papers have been signed. I told him to run away, put the mortgage company on ignore and...

Good Morning from sunny Pennsylvania Dutch Country :) I have finally discovered what I have been doing that has caused me to throw my pipes to the floor in disgust and reach for a cigar: Fast and furious puffing as manifested by hot bowls and nasty off tastes, like stuffing dried sycamore...

One ounce bottle of Patchouli essential oil mixed with one ounce Jojoba oil makes for an unforgettable experience. One dab behind each ear and you'll either get a compliment, (E.g. "That smells nice, is that patchouli?"), or a put down,(E.g. "What's that stink, smells like bug spray"). Intensity...

Just did business first time with Vermont Freehand, (vermontfreehand.com), a custom pipe creator and purveyor of all kinds of fine pipe parts. Bought 3 custom acrylic, "forever", pipe stems for my Missouri Meerschaum, "The General" pipes. Custom fitted tenons to match the MM mortise. Beautiful...
