I recently acquired a full-bent Punto Oro with a replacement stem that I need to clean up, inspect and send off to a new, loving home. It's a solid pipe, I'm simply not into the shape.

It's a roll of the dice. I've always been kind of amused at the vast differences between gub'mint workers. Some are by-the-book, others are interpretive, some plain don't give a ****, some seem to enjoy obstructing process/service just to be asinine or egotistical. Once I had a problem with...

I'll probably never get a chance to talk to him, as I'm pretty far from any events that might occur... ...at the same time, I've also heard he's very no-bullpucky. I think you have to be like that to be a tobacco blender. Hence why I also would guess he has more a script for his own sanity...

:lol!:   Yes you did, on both declarations.   :lol:    You rascal. :lol!:   My only qualms with his statements are "vacuuming all the air" out of a tin--of course he doesn't do that, I don't think anyone does.   Because they can't. From what I gather, the machinery wasn't designed to do...

Which is why I always noddingly agreed with Yak's equating pipes to being female.  You don't have to have a lot of money to find a decent one, but depending on your ideals of the relationship, she may have vastly different thoughts.   :lol:   Dudes be cheap; chicks be picky.   Money or patience...

Heh. :D 8)

It's because USPS disallows for either critical thinking or interpretation of terms not thought about or defined beyond their concern. The hive sees "pipe," and they are trained/programmed to process either possibly "paraphernalia" or "bomb." Successful alternatives: "Woodcraft Product"...

I saw these on FB, but I'll comment here: ...billiards are simple yet hard as f*ck to turn out, and turn out right. If that's your first, holy crap, you're up-and-away talented. Ditto to the stem work. Can I just give you my block stummels and have you carve them for me? :lol: No...

My word-to-picture conversion software is a a bit lacking, but I kind of get the gist of your approach to the P-Lip. This is different than trying not to picture SpeedyPete's approach. :lol!: (...down, boy...) They're your pipes. If some gentle and minor adjustments are necessary to...

I swear the P-Lips are drilled twice, once for the main draft airway and the second from the P-lip button (near the apex of the ellipse)...and it's that second angled opening that completes the airway that determines if it will take a cleaner. I'm not sure what Peterson-standard is regarding...

GET OFF MY LAWN! :D 8)

I wholly dig the stuff, and this notion has lasted beyond early taste notes, too. https://www.brothersofbriar.com/t20934-i-just-tried-wessex-gold-brick 8)

Heh.   So you're saying it's natural chewing gum, these dried SA fruits... got ya.  Maybe they just export them in secret and we're both right.  :shock: :shock: :shock:   :lol: ------ Meanwhile, as a Pete fan, I like both the fishtail and P-lip bits/buttons.  Both have their merits.  The...

:roll: :lol: It's true. You really are a passive version of LL. Carry on. 8)

Monbla's happiness with the topic material is all I care about, after all. I can't wait until he digresses himself by finding out new and creative ways to present the word "opinion." That said, I don't even think Erinmore Flake actually smells/tastes like Juicy Fruit, it's just a thing a...

Let's be honest here. :lol: Cheers to not inverting a system (or just about any Pete) while smoking... I'm sure all of us have done it once. Those that haven't... Heh. :D 8)

I was always a fan of Perfect Plug... ...interesting development. 8)

Juicy fruit. :mrgreen: Unless you have some funky, processed apricots goin' on in the S. Hemisphere. Odd that we're from vastly different worlds but seem to have gotten the same kind of edu-mah-cation, one could say. :D Be well and smoke well down there. 8)

Here's to hopin'!   :D :snerk:   :mrgreen: 8)
