There is nothing worse than a doctor's receptionist who insists you tell her what is wrong in a room full of other patients. When I saw my doctor the other day, the room was full of patients and as I approached the desk, the receptionist said, "Yes sir, what are you seeing the doctor for...

Jeff, I realize you are new to this forum, but you are really starting off on the wrong foot by agreeing with anything CP says. Mike

It's not the multi-syllable words, it's just that you type too fast for me to read. If you would slow down your typing speed, I could read what you are trying to say. Mike

Mark, That's a beautiful looking pipe. It's hard to beat that combination of grain and birdseye. Mike

Mark, The old JRBB was the best board of any kind that I have ever been a part of. No one ever got pi$$ed off over anything, it was great fun, and a great place to exchange information and opinions. I've probably laughed harder on some of the chats there than I ever had in my life, and once...

I've been insulted by Jeff 364 times. Mike

My Christmas morning smoke just had to be Epiphany. Perfect in an old half bent Gefapip. Mike

I sincerely wish all of you the best of the Christmas season and Peace for the New Year. Mike

Hi Jeff, Glad to see you made it over here. I'm sure everyone will be impressed by an Arkie that can actually speak english. :D Mike

Chuck, I used to ocassionaly smoke both Holandia and Spinnaker years ago. Both were lightly aromatic but with enough natural tobacco flavor to be enjoyable. They had a typical Dutch background flavor that was common in those days, probably due to some addition of Java tobacco. If I remember...

Mark, Who you kidding? You've been 49 for as long as I've known you. Mike

Mike M, Use that Paragon like you would use Renaissance wax on some of your smaller woodworking projects. It is basically the same thing with a minor reformulation. Jack, There is no need to apologize, you are not being argumentative. Discussions like this afford everyone an opportunity to...

Halcyon, Paragon and some of the other microcrystaline waxes are great for stems, since they do reduce oxidation caused by light, air and moisture, but I would not use them on a briar pipe. The attributes sound good. They are harder than Carnuba( although in pure form Carnuba is actually harder...

Welcome back Kotter.... I mean Mark. It's about time you get back in the mainstream. Mike
