    Maybe times are changing

    I am over my early 40s but not 50 yet and I still like 20ish and 30ish and 40ish women lol!! Hope I never lose that either, I believe your fricking dead when you do not. YMMV.

    ROPP

    tkcolo, well so far the stem is quite nice. Different feel, seems solid but the top layers seem to soften slightly as you smoke it. It is a twin bore and the pipe is so light I am actually learning to relax my jaw more than usual. Overall I am impressed with it. It is still odd to smoke a pipe...

    Testing the Draw Pre Purchase

    Favorite "Cheer Up" Tobacco

    First I hope things improve! Reminds me of Sir Walter Raleigh's tobacco pouch after his beheading had the below enscription. In times of need it was Copenhagen while I was in the service, because smoking gets you dead lol. Now days any tobacco that lights if things are that bad lol. But Carter...

    Churchwarden yes or no

    I have three, two by Clark Layton, one by Vauen with a round tip grrrrrrr. I have a room I can smoke in and I love to sit out there and smoke the Layton's. The fishtail bit allows the CH to hang perfectly for reading, TV, or just plain thought skipping perfectly! The LOTR Vauen with the round...
