Funny, I was led to believe that a fill looked like a popped zit after being smoked. Mike B

Thanks for the information Guys. Mike B

I would not miss the commercial side one bit, but I do treasure the time spent with family and friends Mike B

I apologize if this post offends or irritates anyone. That was not my intention when I posted it. Happy smoking to all. Mike B

Credit goes to Fr_Tom for the concept and for laying the groundwork of this post. A simple, easy to use chart for determining the volume of the tobacco chamber of a pipe, new or used, with or without cake. All you need is the diameter of the hole at the top and the height (depth) of the...

I am trying to get a handle on the tobacco chamber dimensions of the various bowl sizes of Kirsten pipes. I would greatly appreciate if any of our Kirsten owners could measure the depth of the chamber along with the inside diameter at the top of the bowl, and post them here or send me a P.M...

S.G Curly Cut in one of my hand carved briars.

Mine was Model, simply because "Grandpa" next door smoked it and the aroma was wonderful. 17cents a pouch back then. What a disappointment, it tasted bitter, and smelled nothing at all like "grandpa,s". Second attempt was with the old Douwe Egberts Amphora and I fell in love with the pipe Mike B

Thank you Geoff, That is exactly the information I was looking for. Mike B

Geoff, I am considering a web site to display the pipes I have for sale. I would think just a moderate amount of traffic at most. Thanks, Mike

BH, I don't have the exact figures... the dog ate my notes... but the lowest reading was 1.45 oz. and the highest was not above 2 oz. My parameters regarding the "proper level of moisture for smoking" may differ from what others may find acceptable, so the "science" involved is not very...

Having way too much time on my hands this week, I thought I would see how much tobacco there is in a one pound bag. I sampled 5 different quality bulk blends right out of the bag. After weighing out exactly 16 oz of each, I let them air dry for 3 days until they were at an acceptable moisture...

Has anyone here had any experience with Yahoo web hosting? It appears to be simple, intuitive and easy to edit. Thanks, Mike

I can't see a resemblance to any version of 3 Nuns at all. Not even the latest reincarnation which is a poor comparison to the original. To my taste, 3 Friars is a Burley foreward blend with just enough Virginia to add a touch of sweetness. Nothing especially interesting or complex. Mike Brissett

I went trick or treating today dressed as Ozzie Osborn and all I got for my efforts is some used cigarette butts. Whats the world coming to? Mike

I love cats.... the other white meat. Mike

Good point Mike. Look on the bright side. We have the gift of being able to simply ignore a member who is offensive or  annoying on these boards. We should not feel fully and shamefully exposed, because we are in control of what member we choose to ignore. Try that at a party, business...

I have some new replacement bowls for sale in the Town Crier. Regards, Mike brissett

Fr_Tom, I do not have the hardware for these bowls, but they will accept the standard factory screw and base plate. If you are interested in making your own screw, the type you want is a Fillister head machine screw. with a 10/32 thread. The head diameter is 3/8". An overall length of .425"...

Thanks Marshall. I have about a dozen bowls completed and will try to get pics of them over the weekend. Regards, Mike Brissett
