Welcome MLB! Your profile picture also explains how estate pipe stems get the way they do... lol

I was the one saying we should include the outliers from the beginning! Lol And I figured if there ever was a group to support some over-analysis and spirited discussion of something silly, it's right here!

"The average is the statistical summary, in one value, of a group of numbers. There are three main types of averages: the mean (the sum or product of the values of a group of numbers divided by how many numbers there are in the group); the median (the middle value of a group of numbers); the...

I apologize if my reply came across at all snarky Balisong! I made some typing errors, like skipping quite a few words words I thought I had wrote, and I've since realized I shouldn't do math while trying to write at the same time lol.

We're at a mean average of 58.83 for everybody. But if you wanted to be a bully like @Balisong and exclude Gaius and myself as outliers, the average jumps up to 64.4. That 9.8% comes at the price of omitting over 16% of the data, and could lead to retaliation like the outliers excluding your...

Schrödinger's tobacco: If you never smoke it, you can never be dissapointed with it...

I don't usually buy into all this astrology stuff, but what the heck. I'm 32... and based on your post my profile picture isn't doing me any favors lol!

I've found myself in the, hopefully relatable, position of having an embarrassing number of mason jars filled with the different tins of tobacco I've tried over the years. I did this so I could go back and sample the blends I didn't like at the time in case my tastes changed, to date this...

Let me know how the sillems black is, I've been meaning to pull the trigger on a tin of that and the Lineas Epoque, I think it's called. The musketeer left me a little underwhelmed, but I'm not the biggest fan of cubed cut tobaccos I've learned. My favorite aromatic burley blend has been...

My first gun was a ruger 10/22, blued with a wood stock. Ruger really nailed it with that design for something well-built, accurate, tough, and somehow still affordable even today.

I can only speak for myself, and believe the only right way to smoke a pipe is if you're enjoying it, but here's my rational. When I first started smoking I was under the assumption that a char light was mandatory and always struggled getting the bowl going, like lots of new pipe smokers I'm...

Thanks for checking on that Steve, Sutliff makes some really good blends for sure.

Happy anniversary Jim, and thank you for sharing those memories. I had been reading your reviews for years before I joined BoB and assumed, based on shear volume, that "JimInks" was a nome-de-pipe used by multiple pipe smokers to post reviews under, what a pleasant surprise to find out there was...

Damn that's funny, only because it's so relatable. I have a lighter like that so I guess I know what will cross my mind every time I fill it up from here on out lol!

I tried looking for a bulk that tasted like PP for ages but couldn't find one. So please let us know what it turns out to be if/when you figure it out.

Very cool idea, I've always love the look of wood and brass together. I'm hoping you have a tumbler though lol! What cartridges are you using? I couldn't figure out what they are from the picture so I'm assuming you antipodeans have some novel wildcat cartridges you adapted from what the...

This seems like a pretty reasonable explanation, but is probably not the gospel. Hopefully there are some Dunhill pipe historians who can set the record straight though! https://pipedia.org/wiki/Parker

Well great, now I have to go watch Band of Brothers for the umpteenth time.

Great looking pipe, and great job restoring it! One of my first pipes was a pot shaped Willard and it's still one of my favorite smokers. Unlike Kaywoodies, the stingers on Willards are removable, it might take a little heat if it hasn't been removed in a while, but it pulls out from the...

For the last three months, In order of weight smoked: - GH Ennerdale Flake/mixture - GH Kendal Flake - Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic - Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake - GH Dark Flake Aromatic I can confirm that Ennerdale mixture is simply the flakes that are too beat up to package nicely, not a...
