Last week I ran out of Zippo brand fluid and resorted to a reserve can of Rosnson fluid, which I keep for removing adhesive and such. The next day, I developed a red rash on my thighs, which spread a bit. A doctor told me it was an allergic reaction of some kind. A pipe smoker told me it was...

Thanks.

Welcome.

Cuervo, I'll have to remember Altama boots. I wear black work boots when I'm not in my Florsheims, and I destroy them pretty fast with all the walking I do. Have to check the price on them, though. My current boots were on special at Target for thirty bucks and are going strong after about...

For the first time in forever, I feel compelled to talk about the weather. Before Tuesday morning, I never understood what the hell purpose earmuffs served. After waiting in two degree (with wind chill) weather on a bus that was thirty minutes late, I now understand the earmuff thing. Just...

Welcome.

I vaguely remember reading of this, and deciding against it based on user reviews. Is it a wax? If so, I've read time and again that Paragon is the best one for stems and smooth briars whereas Halycon II works best for rusticated pipes. Wish I could tell you more, that's all I got.

Well said, indeed. I've got a rack of six cobs and a backup MM Gentleman in my briefcase with my backup pouch of tobacco. Love my cobs, but I cherish my briars. Aside from the joy of admiring the briar as I smoke it, there's the flavor they impart to that same simple burley. A cool smoking...

Not to sound like a grouch or anything, and likely off topic, but I always hated the notion of doing anything just because chicks like it. Darwinian ********. Chicks also like "sharing feelings" and metrosexual little bastards like Justin Bieber. Like I care what anybody likes. The mirror...

Really, Cuervo? My cat does the same thing. I grew my hair long in junior high, but have been going with the same buzz cut since the late '90s.

Say what? I just buzz cut my hair over newsprint once a week, take a shower, and put my hat back on.

Rob, did you buy some replacement stems? I like to order five along with each new cob. I smoke Generals and Diplomats, which use the same Danish bit. I agree, those stems are superior. I've read that the reason smokeshops sell the little junk cobs is to lure new pipe smokers with the small...

Obama smoked, so what? He quit just so he could run for president, 'cause we could never have a smoker in the White House anymore. He'd be called the anti-Christ by EVERYBODY, including all those brainwashed apologetic smokers. Yeah, even smokers won't take a stand for tobacco, it's...

Civil war, no. About 99 percent of Americans are sissies. The only ones to revolt will be the ones with nothing to lose (if an outright ban ever happens, which it won't). Ah, all those times when I was really broke and just yearned for a street riot ... nevermind. Tobacco prohibition has...

Welcome.

That really is an ingenious technique. Thanks, momus.

Double-sided tape, brilliant. Thanks, y'all.

Yeah, being slacker enough to slack off even on my usual screwing around. Good to be back.

I just cleaned my kitchen while smoking. Doesn't feel anything like multitasking, which I hate to see and won't do. Got another one loaded, now I've gotta select my book for the night, this is getting easier. Smoking is second-nature.

Harlock, I've got a pair of Florshiem dress boots just like those. Had them since '05 and the leather is still great, but they do need to be half-soled. Extremely comfortable, and very sharp. My regular street clothes shoes are soft-soled black Florshiems, the soles make them very functional...
