Hiya Meer! Always nice to see another SOB here!! Or would that be LOB...

Yep, as a seller, I've had the same experience. There was a recent thread on SF about this very issue, and I was rather discouraged to see how many folks who buy pipes on eBay see sellers as "feedback extortionists," without stopping to think about how the situation looks from the other side...

I started out disliking burleys, but I've come around to appreciating them. The ones I especially enjoy these days include: Solani Aged Burley Flake Peterson University Flake P&W Nut Brown Burley C&D Pennington Gap Tobacco Barn "Grandfather" good ol' Prince Albert I finally have begun to get...

G&H Rum Flake in my Ser Jacopo hawkbill:

Gawith and Hoggarth Rum Flake!

Thanks, Carlos!

Heh heh, when I saw that photo it just tickled me so much I had to use it. I believe it's the world's smallest adult dog -- a 2 lb. Chihuahua or some such.

Hey JP, so far I've been all talk and no walk -- Glenda is in Louisiana right now, interviewing for a job at a refinery between Baton Rouge and Lafayette. If she gets it, we'll be moving back home soon. We're starting to think about a "GF New Orleans" instead!

Thanks, Puff -- it's a truly awesome smoker! I'm such a sucker for pretty, shiny stuff, but this one is much more than just a great looker. If you ever see a Calumet for sale, give it your consideration -- they're not cheap, but certainly well worth it. I got this one as an estate, so the price...

Kaywoodie = their old 01 yachtsman shape. Nobody does it better.

1. 30 sec. max 2. That's about right 3. 30-45 minutes is pretty much my ideal length. Maybe a bit less (20-25 min.) for strong blends like Dark Birdseye and the like.

Aw geez, thanks, but my link is messed up, totally negating any rockstar status I may have attained! :oops: Anyway, the folks at www.smokersforums.org dreamed this concept up, so you can do a quick search on that site to get more info. Sorry, y'all!

May all go well!

Thanks! I saw the photo and just couldn't stop laughing!

Thanks so much for the warm welcome, all!

That's seriously stoopid. I guess the rationale is that pipes and cigars somehow smell "stronger," but it can hardly be argued that they smell worse than cigarettes. Usually, it's quite the opposite.

I have a Talbert morta that smokes wonderfully. It seems to add a cool, mineral taste to Latakia blends. Plus, the fact that it doesn't need much rest is a big bonus.
