I can and always could eat a dozen ears or so at a time. My parents used to warn me about doing it, suggesting dire digestive tract consequences, but it never happened. Come to think of it, I can gorge myself on just about anything that has real melted butter drizzled over it. How'd you cook it...

The Charles Towne Cobblers are great cobs. Well worth the elevated price, in my opinion. Fit and finish are above regular standards, and the bowls, at least on mine, are large, robust, and thick-walled. Even the Danish-type stem, which I normally detest, looks perfect for the pipe. They just...

My experience with beater pipes--like the one I leave in my car summer and winter--suggests a similar appraisal. They are quite neglected and rarely even get as much as a pipe cleaner thrust through their innards. They get cleaned and reamed when the cake buildup mandates it. They get smoked at...

I don't know if this is applicable to yours, but my cheap digital camera has a two-stage trigger or whatever it's called. You press it half-way to allow it to focus, then press all the way down. Takes quite passable close-ups. Took me a couple of years to discover, 'cause I'm slow. Just a...

Not I. How do you know it's a WDC? Is there other nomenclature? Check this out: https://patents.google.com/patent/US1936060?oq=patent:1936060

How on earth did you manage to get a photo of my stems? :pig:

Sounds like love, and not just a passing infatuation. Wish half my pipes weren't one-night stands.

Well stated, Zeno. I'm encumbered by a taste for classic shapes only. Every time I see a Castello that I like, it's $600 or so. The two Castellos I have don't even look like Castellos, a bulldog and a slim billiard. The occasional Radice I see that I like does seem tempting. Plus fishnbanjo...

My magnification was somehow set at less than 100%. Restored it to 100% and now it works. Never mind. :roll:

...to unregistered "guests?" Can't see anything but the framework and ads around the main section. All topics are blank. Have no intention of joining another #@!%ing forum. This time-suck is bad enough.

And if so, in what way? Not knocking Castellos; I have two. Or is it three? Anyhow, I just wondered, since they cost about twice as much and I don't have a Radice. (I personally have a fondness for Il Ceppos, as an Italian marque, but that's another subject. Sort of.)

Artistic license...or they're using Softy Bits.

The voice of reason, as usual. Three thumbs up!

I was slightly exaggerating. His payroll alone makes me wince. Pens and ink? Really? Reminds me of an old Saturday Night Live skit in which a guy had a tape boutique newly set up in a modern shopping mall. Hey, I ain't knocking it; if sales cover expenses, plus a decent profit, I wish the...

You know, his monthly costs, lease payment, payroll, fixtures and fittings, electric, insurance, etc.  I have done business with the company, but I pictured some guy working out of a closet. Apparently I need to revise my image of the current market in pens and ink. How many pens does he need to...

:lol!: Agreed! Beware of the competition. Welcome.

Flawless shape. No #%@&ing bowl coating. A concave button. Nicely done. Great price.

Yep. Same experience. It's OK, but nothing I'd go to any trouble to acquire again.

I :heart: my Twizzby with a 1.1 stub nib. Makes me wanna write good. Nice choice.

Sounds great. But in addition, I require an alcohol component in a post-shave product. It seems to lock away the sting of the razor. If I wash my face or sweat, the sting comes back. Weird. Balms are effective for greasing up the hide, but there is always a slight residual sting when I use them...
