Sounds like classic Yak-rap to me. :D I've been obsessively hanging out here for long enough that Yak's posted stuff like that in some form or another a few times...they all ring true to these ears (eyes?) *shrug*

I like the :king: di tutti :king: :king: :king: rap. That was so typically him !

Straight to the point and if it stepped on somebody's peepee, oh well.

Miss that guy ! :(

After reading the old classic Yak Rap, I'm not buying any more new artisan pipes!!!
Just old Dunhills, Kaywoodies, Comoys, GBD's, Loewe's, CPF, well smoked Charatan, BBB, Sasieni, and Barling pipes.

:cheers: :cheers:
 
Don't let me lead you astray, Doc.

As we speak, Sasquatch is making me a billiard to celebrate being retired. :cheers:

And I'm in line for an Ocelot88 after that one gets squared-away. :cheers:

First pipe splurge in so long I can't remember when.

Blame Kyle for that. He put me up to it. 8)

Saved every vacation day the last two years I could stand to and cashed them in. The check should be cut April 12.

Old dog / New trick. :twisted:

So never say, "Never." :D

I'm glad for you Yak, like me, You have earned it.
I wish you MANY healthy years of retirement, and there's no better way than to commemorate the event than with a few new Briars.
Doc. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

 
Thank You, Doc !

They should be just about broken-in properly by the time they get passed along to younger friends because I'm about ready to check out.

Violinmakers start laying in a supply of good wood when their sons are born -- the same way their fathers did for them.

Pay it Forward in all affairs where this is an option.

HYPED !
 
Ran into this tonight. re. Briar (linked post topic) :

Briar is .... important. Just what percent of a good pipe is briar-based? Perhaps a better way to say it is that briar is necessary but not sufficient. You can't make a good pipe with bad briar, but you could make a bad pipe with good briar.

I try every batch of briar I buy. I think there are subtle but real differences in the various blocks. Some are physical - hardness, grain density, etc. Some are a little more ethereal, but I'm convinced that those few pipes out there that are of the very best, those that offer a superior experience every time, are of a superior form of briar. Complete surety I can't offer yet. But right now, if asked, I think I could pick out blocks that yield better pipes than average.

Sure. Blame Kyle. :no: :lol: :cheers:

There'd just better be pictures when the time comes. That's all I ask for being The Devil. :twisted: :p

convenient scapegoat
 
I was thinking up a long detailed reply but I just remembered that Yak's block is still soaking in the boiling manatee urine, and I don't wanna over do it.

Wow, you only break that stuff out for special occasions, too! :cheers: :lol:
 
How do you think he manages to achieve that rich golden tonality that looks like it's deep in the briar instead of just on the surface that nobody else can duplicate ? I'm surprised he let the cat out of the bag.

:face:
 
The cat stays in the bag for about 20 hours, but after that freshness becomes an issue.
 
Kitty Scoop Plus is a major part of the Gawith secret recipe. I'm sure of it.
 
...and more discussion furthering the idea of why this forum is cool. And hilarious. :D
