My word! We've got some highly educated fellows in this group of pipe smokers. I'm adding my own guesses here, I figure over 90% are in the baby boomer cohort, with 75% born between 1955 and 1960, with a select few in the Generation X cohort and a select few born before 1950. So, that means a...

Got me this acrylic,"forever stem", from Vermont Freehand.com. May not be mod per se, to me it's a major improvement to the stock, molded plastic, cheap stems found on all, (Except new line of acrylic stemmed MM's), Missouri Meerschaums.I chose the longest stem, with the widest mouthpiece. Made...

Correction to Title Post: I own a 1896 design Swedish Mauser, not a 1894. Peter

What is you most valuable - in $ or otherwise, MilSurp piece of gear, (Or even vehicle)? Mine is a Swedish Mauser 6.5 x55mm 1894 design bolt action Main Battle Rifle. Got it for peanuts in 1987 after Sweden decided to throw open their warehouse doors full of 6.5x55 rifles to U.S. wholesale...

I'm between a saint and a professor per the beard chart on exhibit 1. Always keep beard trimmed to 1/8-1/4" or 4-6mm. Only shaved it off between Fall of '98 to Spring of 2000. Else have had beard since I was discharged, (Honorably), from the USAF. I think the highest ranking beard as displayed...

Boy howdy Indiana Paw Paw! Welcome to the Forum. I also enjoy smoking the vegetable material also known as corn cob. In fact, just discovered a pipe materials supply co that sells fitted hard acrylic stems for my Missouri Meerschaum General big pipe - those stock stems that come with MM pipes...

Well hello Bagwil! From yer Location, sounds to me you are in Britain. Welcome to the Forum. I just joined up here myself on10/11. I, myself, live in SE Pennsylvania not too far from those odd people who drive horse and buggy and subscribe to that Luddite doctine: The Amish. Remember to post...

Well howdy pardner! Your Bio reads interesting. I just joined here myself on 10/11 and already have gotten in trouble with the mods. If you like what you read, please consider contributing to the BoB server update. Remember, post early and often! Peter

Bought the whole pound on a hunch. Now taking bets on most anything...;)

Just received a pound of C&D Irish Blessing. Wow! What an aro it is! Bought it because I like black cavendish and after reading the manufacturer teaser on Pipes and cigars.com website. Smoking it is like drinking Irish Cream whiskey liqueur...well not quite, I'm sure you get the picture. A...

I surmise, that the average age of any given BoB member is early fifties. How far off am I?

Ok Ralph, no "between friends" discussions in open Forum. I'll add that to the list of warnings I've been given.

Ok, I get it, no arguing with the moderator in the open. As far as complaints, if you would so kind as to send me a PM, with names of the offended, I will apologize to each one personally - and I' serious.

Oh that's precious, Bluecow... 😜

Thanks!

Whooa, hold on a minute here, I'm no troll, I don't go around the internet universe starting fires, then enjoy watching them burn. I do shoot my mouth off at times, which is part of my personality, and I hereby make a blanket apology to those I may have offended recently.

Blackhorse, I apologize for calling you tiger and please don't kick me off the Forum. I'm used to the easy going ways and all the ribbing and banter of the old pipe forum I was a member of. Man, I was always the subject of somebody busting on me for one thing or the other-good times. I don't...

Sounds really yummy. Currently too indolent to try it out - must be that post-retirement entropy I've mentioned before. Hey, I'll get my better half to make it, (fat chance) :ROFLMAO:

Me, myself, I smoke 4-6 bowls a day, tend to puff fast and hard. I like big pipes, maybe I should buy my tobacco in 5 lb increments? How about y'all?

I set every pipe I've smoked in the sun for a few hours, thus speeding up the dry out process. I know, I'm sure one of you aficionados will tell me how both infrared and ultraviolet light rays degrade all manner of pipe materials. Guess I feel pipes are a functional item vs a collector's item. I...
