    How Dedicated Are You?

    I think I have but one pipe that sees only one blend, an aro. Not for long - the blend is no longer available. Now that I have typed that. I recall two others that get IRC 3* blue. Otherwise, my pipes are divided into aro/VA&burley/latakia.

    this bowl was truley painfully hard

    Face mask w perhaps a helmet. Stops shavings and bowls from reshaping your face. Google "face mask lathe". One of the hits was an account of a larger item breaking free (like the plate). Poor guy ended up in the hospital. Seriously: you were lucky.

    Tobacco What and Why?

    Oh, hell. I can't even pick a favorite manufacturer. Probably either Rattray (HOTW or OG) or McClelland (several), but Veermaster was mentioned... Sorry. What was the question again?

    How Many Tins, Jars, or Pouches of Tobacco Do You Have Open?

    I have seven jars, one of which was just emptied, and soon will be refilled. I also have one pouch sitting by the jars. So, six right now. Other times, all seven may be in service, plus a tin or two sitting on their own.

    Are you Happy with your Peterson Pipe(s)

    Quite happy with the four I have. (Three fishtail; one P-lip modified to fishtail.) The sole issue I have is getting a pipe cleaner through. Takes a bit of finagling.

    It had to happen eventually

    Purge before you move, not after. Just make sure you both know, and agree upon, what is being jettisoned. To charity, not just the landfill!

    This is NOT PORN, originally sold on Amazon

    No, I would not smoke it. Does not look like briar anyway. I am curious, though. How long is the pipe. Is it a nosewarmer?

    Pretty pipe; pretty damn generous gift. You must be living right!

    Pipes and Cigars (the online retailer)

    I can't complain about P&C. (Please let me remain on the site...) One order had a snafu, but it was fixed. Things happen; no worries. Other orders have been fine. As for multiple shipments, Thompson Cigar sent me three packages for one order. The second and third each had one item.

    Why doesn't the pot shape get much love?

    Good grief. That thing has to take a full tin to fill up. I have but one pot and it is fairly recent: a La Croix that smokes great.

    The Three Stooges

    I can still hear Costello saying "Poco Moco" to get back at a baddie. Yeah, the stooges - childhood favorite. However, I can understand the two episode limit, especially the later ones with Joe Besser. I recall commentary on one episode when a (part of the plot) table collapsed and Moe fell...

    So what's your position on spiders?

    Very easy to become jury and executioner as well...

    So what's your position on spiders?

    Psmith's way of cup and paper works well for spiders and bees/wasps. Catch and release. That said, I am not as sure of my mercy if the subject is a recluse or widow.

    Cigarillo suggestions?

    Thank you, all! Feel free to use the list. The R y J ones have me confused. Twice I have been told that the red and blue were stronger, but this is what I see at seller sites: White: medium to full-bodied, hearty yet smooth. Blue: mild and extraordinarily smooth. Red: mild to...

    Cigarillo suggestions?

    It's been three weeks since a cigarette. I still like a work-break during the day though and some very short smokes work nicely. No, I don't inhale them other than by accident (these little buggers feel like a cigarette in size) which is not pleasant. I have tried: Panter - a bit too mild...
