Zulu, you've obviously put some time and thought into that question, and your answers are precedent setting. Have you seen, and if not do you think it will ever occur, an American style being influential abroad? How have you seen the American style change (in broad terms) and where do you see...

Nope. I was kidding. (I hope.) I don't fully trust anything these days, it seems. I was not asked if I was a smoker for my current health insurance benefits. (I don't remember checking anything either way if I was.) The wife and I have been looking into life insurance since we just had wills...

I don't believe it. I think it is a government sponsored program that allows smoking boards to be monitored and personal information gathered and sent to insurance companies to see who is lying about being a smoker or not. And you can't convince me otherwise. The gov't is behind spam, too.

I'm not familiar with the stilleto razor, but do know some about straights in general. The learning curve is steep, the accessories are many, the time (and money) invested in doing it right can be much. If you get a razor you will at least need a strop to keep it sharp (assuming that it has...

I, too, received a Romeo y Julieta cigar over the holidays. It came from my uncle who travels out of the country and smokes cigars (but he's not a "cigar smoker"). He claims it is a real Cuban, but I am skeptical and any information you all might be able to offer by my description would be...

Welcome, Derek. Your mention of Comoy inspired me to run down and grabbed my own Comoy's pipe that hasn't been smoked in a long time. I think I'll changed that later today! Post often, showme

I think they are all talking about the same things. Bit protectors they may be called? Pipe rubbers? My bits don't really get "toothy," as in tooth depressions, but they do get scratches. I'm not a clencher so I don't worry too much about it. One potential downside to the rubbers is that they...

Davey, I typically smoke blends with latakia in them because I do not have a sophisticated palate. My palate is so unsophisticated it is downright ignorant. I'm telling you this not because I'm proud, but because VA wears the hell out of my tongue. I try hard to smoke and get some flavor out of...

Can I call troll? ^^^

Is there already a regularly scheduled chat? Is there an interest in one?

Hello, and welcome, Alan. showme

I agree with TJ's points about the Hall of Fame. That said, I do understand the desire to mark threads that one may find important. J, would it be possible...hmmmm...I was going to ask if there was a way individuals could select a thread to save in a personal folder but that would probably take...

Glad to have you here, Matt. It's good to get some young blood mixed in with this older, cantankerous crowd. Enjoy the board, showme

Welcome! We'll take all the help we can get...at least I will. :lol: showme

Welcome to the board, Jay, jump right in! Do you happen to still have any of your grand-dad's old pipes? I bet they hold special memories. Enjoy the forums and post often, showme

Dock, I didn't see your logo on this site, but I didn't spend too much time there either. It is worth a look if you've not seen it before: http://www.pipephil.eu/logos/index-en.html showme

For anyone else who may be as behind in their pipe research as me, I stumbled over this site tonight: pipedia! http://pipedia.org/index.php?title=Main_Page showme

Welcome, Tom! I'll be up in your neck of the woods on Saturday. Can you clear the snow so my plane can land? I look forward to your posts. showme

Hey Bruce, glad you found the place. There are many great guys here; some I'm sure you are familiar with. We've still got to meet at Uptowns sometime. showme
