RIP Matches 860, I’ve got to get some Haunted Bookshop and smoke it in his honor.

Irish Flake in a Sav Autograph Apple. Ordered some Semois burley today. Looking forward to it after PoB great review.

Thanks Geoff, you validated me. I can't get any of my "normal" (nonsmoking) friends or family to watch it. :x But I agree with your sentiments exactly. Pipes bring people together. Peace-Jazzman

Well I did, got it on iTunes. It was a great award winning documentary that starred Lee Von Erck, the Ivarson clan, and other stars in the pipe world. It was informative about the history of pipes as well. This movie is to pipe smoking what "A River runs through it" is to fly fishing. I would...

I've been smoking a while and probably smoke 3 or 4 bowls a day. I us an IM Corona lighter to light my pipes and the ones I use most have char on the tops of the bowl(rim). Honestly I don't mind it on what I call my "old beaters" that I smoke in my car and such. However, I'm venturing into the...

Thank You Sasquatch, the diagrams are great and it does make sense. I'll be careful to check these details when i buy one. I guess engineering something to drill a curved hole is lower on the priority list than putting a rover on Mars....who knew? :D

This is a question that has always perplexed me. I had a cheap Oom Paul and it had a downward hole drilled at the base of the mortise and then about a half inch down a diagonal hole reaching the bottom of the tobacco chamber. And the entry point of that diagonal hole was plugged with putty...

I just got s pipe from Northern Briars, a nice pipe, not cheap and I was disappointed that it had the bowl coated. 6 or 7 years ago when I was buying a lot of pipes I only came across Stanwell having coated bowls. This NB pipe smokes great but I've hit a spot a few times when it just tasted, as...

No I'm a guitar man, but I always liked that character from the Simpson's Bleeding' Gums Murphy.( He's the action figure in my pic). :santa:

Thanks for the update and the welcome. There are still a couple other thou :cheers: sand blends or so out there, so I best get smokin'. :cheers:

After a five year jaunt into cigars, I found what I had left of my pipes and fell back in love with pipesmoking again. Good timing because the cigars ain't cheap, and I've always extolled the cost effectiveness of smoking pipes. Ofcourse, that's when the  you feel the PAD coming on and between...

Sean bought my tobacco, communicated most excellently and paid quick. I hope to deal with him again. A true Brother of the Briar in excellent standing. Thanks again Sean, smoke it all in good health. Peace-Mike :cheers:

OGS in a GBD Virgin, Silver Flake in a Radice Stack, and just now a nice bowl of PS LBF in my Ardor Calabash....yummmm :tongue: Peace-Mike

Bought his whole collection at a great price, everything was expertly packed and shipped with care. He's outstanding to deal with.

Earlier a nice bowl os PS Lux Bullseye Flake in a Caminetto Egg, just now some Exhausted Rooster in a Huge Ardor Calabash. Peace Bros-Mike :tongue:

Earlier a nice bowl Lux Bullseye Flake in a Castello 31, just now some HOTW in an Ardor Rocciata..MMMMmmm. Peace- :tongue:

Great bowl of OGS in a Stanie Danish this morn, just finished a great bowl of Stokkebye Bulleye flake in my Ardor Calabash, side of Bunnahabhain Single Malt. Life is good-Mike :rabbit:

OGS in a Stanwell Royal Danish, just now PS LTF in a Stanwell Volcano. It's been a Stanwell day around here. Peace-Mike :king:

A GOOD smoke? Never long enough...... :tongue:

Yeah, the cigar blend thing is a curious one. I guess in depends on which road you've travelled. I smoked cigars for 10 years before I picked up the briar and so I fall into the category of "If i wanted to taste cigar leaf, I'd smoke a cigar!" :tongue: But I did have a brief affair with Key...
