    What are you going to do...?

    Last time I happened was either '01 or '02. And it was across the board. Nobody depends on me and I got it. So far as I've read into it to date, it's across the board, all and sundry. Including this guy -----> :alien: IF it happens, I'll most likely pay some bills.... buy new tires for my...

    Another Thank You is in Order for Alfredo Buscatti

    I recently traveled to Cincy from Harrisburg, PA and smoked Cumberland the whole way there and back. Such good stuff! I had forgotten I had it and, when making 'baccy decisions for my trip, stumbled upon it. Can't say enough good things about this blend.

    Bog Oak Pipes

    Never have tried one yet, but Trever Talbert's site has a good bit of general information regarding the stuff here: http://www.talbertpipes.com/mortacreation.shtml

    Lets get down to the nitty gritty

    I don't know if I can even put it into words. I've always been interested in pipes and, particularly, the scents of the various tobaccos. Soon as I met someone who actually smoked a pipe it was a no-brainer. I love the flavors of the various weeds, the amazing shapes and craftmanship that goes...

    Thank you Justpipes

    C'mon, man!!! You have to post some thoughts on the Walnut. Personally, I've never smoked it but seeing the back-and-forth about it here recently, I'm curious. So share your experience!! :D

    Sticker Shock.

    The witch hunt on smokers and smoking is ridiculous. My city has been fighting to impose a ban for a while now, but thankfully the mayor is a seasoned gritter and is fighting right back against it. Don't know how long the old dog can hang in there but he's doing a hell of a job... on this, at...

    Where do we smoke

    Living room... kitchen.... bedroom.... bathroom... but then, I'm a confirmed bachelor so I can pretty much do what I like in the place I pony up the money for. That being said, if I had children I'd most likely keep it away from them. I have certain misgivings of raising my children...

    What are you smoking?

    Haddo's is what I was reaching for when the Stout jumped into my hand. Now I wanna load a different pipe full of it. Is it considered bad form to smoke two separate pipes of two disparately different blends at the same time? Or is it kind of like getting a twist cone at the local DQ?

    Interesting Flavors

    You can avoid this by not eating Lay's potato chips while packing a pipe :pipe: How do you know it's Lay's chips and not Pringles or something else? :scratch: Also, were they plain or bbq? :?:

    author shape question

    Consider that a Dublin is, technically, a straight pipe. Seen any bent Dublins? :D I own two, so I would think sure, there can be a straight author. I don't know that many shapes *can't* be either/or in this regard.

    Wanna Fight?

    I could be all wet on this but I think the most important place to have cake is in the bottom of the bowl for absorption purposes. That's where all the grak drips to as you're puffing and the cake helps pull that away from the 'baccy. I'll tell you how I came to this conclusion. Most of the...

    Wa' Did Ja Get For Christmas?

    I got some Orlik Golden Sliced(if my last 5 or so posts haven't clued anybody in) that I treated myself to. Otherwise, all practical, non pipe-related gifts.

    reamers wider than Senior?

    Use 400 or 600 grit sandpaper and just sand that crap on outta there. Shouldn't take you but a few minutes and the higher grits should keep mistakes from happening.
