    Tricks to Taming the Butane Beast?

    Look for a Djeep lighter - they're a third again as wide as a Bic, and let you hold the lighter completely upside down without scorching yourself.

    Smoking Smoked Turkey for Thanksgiving (Cartoon)

    Thought I'd wattle on in here and see what was afoot.

    Need help convincing the wife of PAD

    Too complicated, lads! Buy something for her at the same time you buy something for yourself. (Something she actually has said she wants, mind. Don't guess.) Mind, since she IS an aficionado of coffin nails, it's not like she's got much room to fuss.

    Pipe Whacking

    I'd imagine using the sole of a shoe came about when someone had a bit of stubborn dottle lodged in the bottom that wouldn't yield to tapping it in the palm of one's hand. (Or, perhaps when in a hurry.) And, of course, they were more utensils than art pieces back in the day. Of all the things...

    Pipe Smoking Myth #1

    The only tobacco I can do this with is Peterson Irish Whiskey. It's drier than my aros, obviously, so I assume that's the reason. Never in one light, though.

    Pipes and haiku

    I don't have a pipe themed one, but I did come across this gem a while back. Take me down to Hai- ku City where the grass is green, and the dammit.

    Christmas in July?

    Holiday Spirit, ahoy! The tin note is lovely, and makes me wish it were already December. Room note is likewise, although subtle. Seems to run a bit hot, although I'm aware that I'm struggling with being a compulsive puffer. Sidebar - I don't know the physics of this offhand, but I've found...

    Christmas in July?

    Welp, giving the Christmas Cheer a try! I'm trying the 'fold and stuff' method (modified, since they're not full sized flakes), which makes keeping it lit a bit trickier, however being uncased(?), I gather it's not prone to burning as hot so I'm not as worried about the temp of my bowl. So far...

    What, nobody visited SmokingPipes website recently?

    Aldecaker: P&C still has some St. Claude pipes. Of the ones left, the 111 is on the small side, but the 103 and 321 appear to be closer to regular pipe dimensions. Not huge, mind, but larger. (I have the 111 and the 301 - I liked the idea of having smaller, lighter pipes for when I don't have...

    Zippo Pipe Lighters and Pipe Wall Integrity

    Ditto. Zippo pipe insert here as well, and the only time I've charred a rim was when using a regular Bic injudiciously. Perhaps they used it exclusively outdoors?

    And the Weez scores!

    That does look mighty sexy. Damnit, I haven't even gotten around to getting a poker, and I'm already eyeing other pipes. You people are a bad influence!

    Show us your cellar

    What is it with those Wessex tins? The hardcore chaps have those stashed away like it's the cure for every illness ever.

    Christmas in July?

    I gather, the release of McClellands Christmas Cheer/Holiday Spirit is what y'all were talking about? 'Cause those puppies hit the shelves at SP today. Took the plunge, ordered two of each. (One to try, one to cellar.) I've been having issues finding an English that I liked, so maybe working my...

    I'm intrigued and have to start this thread

    Someone make a note to necro this thread at the beginning and end of November.

    Show us your cellar

    Well, hell. Now I'm embarassed to take pictures of my twelve-odd mason jars and six tins. :oops:
