    I have many single malts to choose from - sorta like pipe tobacco. The Spirit will move me. What's your favorite?

    Or it was late on Friday and a little whisky had been opened. On a serious note, I think they may have had a quota to fill for Parker.

    Old Gowrie that I put away in 05 in one of my Benchmade pipes that I turned in the late 70s. Not quite a large billiard - maybe a volcano - with barked sq shank. It has nice birdseye on the bottom and straight grain. At my desk working. Decalf coffee and SXM radio - the Elvis channel. Good...

    MB Golden Extra of vin. 2010 in my Parker Golden Bark 189 gr. 4 full bent with vulcanite stem. This pipe is the same as a Dunhill 120 gr 4, just labeled as a second - I can't see why, but that's the grader's prerogative. It's a great Tanshell dating to the 1970s when I acquired it, but it's...

    I would think this picture dropped in the mail to the electric/water company might solve it.

    I'm with you! I have more than 135 pipes (maybe 10% acrylic stems) and I recently spent a week cleaning that !@#%^* vulcanite back to black. I like acrylic and I can make bits, but no way am I going to put acrylic on my horde. When I was Davidoff's in NYC last week they had black socks on the...

Stokkebye Luxury Flake in my Lane era Charatan Belvedere 4211 full bent with an acrylic stem I turned and fit to the pipe several years ago. Bought...

    Are you sure? I've never had this happen on my acrylic stems that I've cleaned with alcohol - usually vodka or bourbon. Perhaps, the emblem on placement placed micro-cracks when drilled that became enlarged. I would replace the bit. The brass ? inserts can be replaced, too. 99% of your pipe is...

    First pipe of the day. Got up early to attend the National Guard Conference in Fargo. Met the Lt. Governor running for Governor. I liked her a lot. One thing I like about North Dakota is our politicians are not surrounded by security - approachable. She was a v.good supporter of the Guard, Army...
