    Sell Me On Clay Pipes

    Just get one. They are great for encouraging slow cadence, when you can hold a clay and not burn your fingers you know you are smoking slow! you can clean them like any pipe...or like any pottery.

    An Expensive Case of Buyers Remorse

    Why is no one talking about how much of a genius this guy is?? He figured out how to get that 'cute red head girl' at school to go out with him! Its just a simple 40 year plan of building an empire so you have (almost) 3.75 million dollars in disposable income and then you buy some hockey...

    Dr. Alan Harrelson Visits Chesterton’s in Steubenville, Ohio

    I tried watching a 'pipe smoking video' on youtube, on maybe 3 separate occasions over the years and I could not get through a single clip...I have very little patience for such a vicarious activity. I think it is strange that they exist, but they are obviously enjoyed by others.
