    SANDY!

    In the same boat here. Live in Southeastern PA, right on the border of PA/NJ. Looks like we are going to get smacked.

    Storient Meers

    Just checked out Storient's website. The craftsmanship is amazing, especially the fine floral etchings on some of his work. AND you design custom pipes!!!

    65 % ABV--Worlds Strongest Beer!!!

    Interested to hear what you think of it. I'm trying to imagine the flavor, and every way I go with it, I'm just not sure how good it would be.

    Brothers of the Beard

    Short beard here, although I rotate facial hair throughout the year. Beard for late fall/winder. Clean shaven for early summer, goatee during the rest of the year. The beard isn't anything impressive since I don't grow it for very long, but it IS red. :)

    Just one guy's opinion

    I see your point, but I would like to support the opinion stated above saying that for those of us beginners who want to drive different types of tobacco, but aren't yet willing or able to spent $100s on different pipes to avoid ghosting. I'm still fairly new, and am glad with my cob purchases...

    What are You Reading?

    The "Elements of Philosophy", a broad, but dense survey of the various sciences within philosophy. Light reading, no?

    It Arrived. The Joy!

    That is a fantastic looking pipe. Might have to add this to my list of pipes to consider buying :)

    Restoring Estate Pipe - Start to Finish?

    Thanks for the resource, Mike. Any general resources (As I would like to buy some pipes on ebay) are appreciated as well.

    Restoring Estate Pipe - Start to Finish?

    Good day all. My brother-in-law picked me up a small meerschaum at an antique shop last Christmas. The pipe is a bit of a mess though, dirty, charred rim, and it doesn't look to have been cleaned from the inside. Does anyone have any resources (books, websites) in their back pocket that...

    Pipes & Stash....

    Ha, I am also a beginner, and have a similar, albeit smaller stash. I do the same thing with the jars and the labeling though. Looks nice!

    Does any body else do this?

    I've never done that. I just buy those Ball jars from the store, but I'm guessing since you said you clean these out well, that there would be no issue with flavor contamination.

    Ashy Taste

    Interesting comments from everyone. I experience an ashy taste in tobacco when I am smoking to fast and it gets too hot. The cooler I smoke, the more pure flavor comes through.

    New Person to Smoke With

    I second sjpipesmoker. I unfortunately know no one else who smokes a pipe. And all I want to do is share my stash :)
