    Boudain King Cake

    King cakes have been a Mardi Gras tradition for many generations, but last Friday I had my first slice of boudain (sausage) filled king cake. Covered w. a lightly sweet glaze, crumbled bacon, and raisins. Simply delicious.

    First time ebay seller here! Would love insight/advice

    When I'm interested in buying an ebay pipe, I like to see additional pics of the pipe w. the stem removed so I can see if it's screwed together, filtered, has a stinger, etc. Also, I like to see the shipping $ included. Just set your reserve price higher to cover it.

    WANTED: Technical Bench Buffer Help & Tips

    I've had moderate luck using BELT GRIP spray on the inside of the felt wheel hole. It's a product used to prevent fan belt slippage, found under various names at your auto parts stores.

    YOUR BEST PIPE? NOT ALWAYS THE MOST EXPENSIVE ONE

    My Polinski POKER is my favorite. I like a pipe that sets upright without a stand. The thick walls make it comfortable and cool to hold. Paid around $70.00 for it.

    LEWIS AMD CLARK tobacco

    A few weeks ago I bought some pipes and tobacco from an individual. One of the tobaccos he sent was simply labeled Lewis and Clark. Now I'd like to buy more, but can't find it listed by any of the distributors. Does anyone know where I can get more.
