    Firedance is on its way...

    I like the fold and stuff method modified: one or one and a half flakes ready to stuff, but "mess with them" to loosen them up. Also, remember when stuffing not to overload the pipe, because everything expands when lit.

    House got robbed today

    Dead men tell no tales. If you shoot, Kill. Another good story from a good friend: he was fishing in a stream, and a game warden came along: asked to see his fishing license. Friend says: its in my wallet in the tackle box on the shore. Next to my loaded 9mm behind my concealed weapon permit. GW...

    Dark Bird's Eye with Perique?

    What should we do with this leftover stuff from making beer? Feed it to the pigs? No! That would be a terrible thing to do. Lets jar it up and sell it to people!

    Finished this one Saturday

    Those bowl dimensions sound about right: i find it hard to judge a pipe without a reference point for scale. I think the sales pitch for this one is that, as you said, it would feel great in the hand. The plateau gives the pipe a danish look that I find normally doesn't appeal to me, but you got...
