    Sad to See Some of My Favorite Members are Gone

    I've been off the forum for 3 months now, as simnettpratt reminds me. But, I've returned to find the place a little empty. Rsun and phonomet are especially missed. Cajun's gone, too? Jeeze. I don't know exactly what happened here, but these were some very generous and caring people.

    Pics of Pipers at Play

    I thought it'd be fun to see people smoking while doing something else that they enjoy, even if it's just sitting on the porch or scratching the dog. Hiking in Glacier National Park with a lovely Stanwell, gifted to me by "anonymous." Cleaning my Browning lever-action .22, smoking a H&M from...

    Used a Tampon Instead of a Cotton Ball

    I've never been one to keep cotton balls, but there are always ob tampons laying around. The pipe didn't need a deep cleaning, but some Haunted Bookshop left a taste I just couldn't stand. So, I fluffed up a tampon, put it in some quality vodka, then shoved it in. It got rid of the ghost, got a...

    P&C Buy a Stanwell Featherweight and Get Free Sobranie

    Just got this email from P&C and figured I'd share. I know I'd be all over this if I hadn't just spent some money elsewhere. It's never fun to find out about something after the fact... And the Stanwells are $80. "While supplies last purchase a Stanwell Featherweight Red 305 pipe and receive a...

    So, P&C DOES Carry Peter Stokkebye's Balkan Supreme

    It's just a little not so intuitively located and not under the "Peter Stokkebye" brand because they put it under "Balkan Supreme." I found this out by asking if they had planned to carry it before next year, because I really like this company and want to stick with them. This was the wonderful...

    Vinyl Tubing Instead of Rubber Bits

    Interesting tip from NWPipesmoker that may work for some clenchers' stems. He's the kind of guy that I think most people (at least here) would love to have next door. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecDV1x0z0V8 In his later videos, you can see him using the tubing for almost all the pipes he...

    Chuck Norris Memes, Anyone?

    Post your favorite Chuck Norris memes, jokes, or clips here. I'll start with my favorites: Chuck Norris has a Kodiak bear rug in his bedroom. But it's not dead...it's just afraid to move.

    Pipe Murder Most Foul: The Generosity That Followed

    I used to think forums were for people who thought too much of their opinions and didn't have the guts and/or social skills for face to face interaction. This my still be the case for many people and forums, but not for this one. It has been discussed in other threads that which makes pipe...

    Pipes Destroyed: Foul and Most Unnatural Murder!

    I don't even want to get into how this happened. But, I assure you, this was spite. I'm just venting really, in my nondescript kind of way. Well, I guess I've gotta give you something. There was an argument and the 2nd party ran off into the woods with the pipes and smashed them with, I believe...

    Devil Anse Cutty by Moonshine Pipeworks

    I've been looking at Moonshine Pipeworks and have been so glad to find a pipe maker who shares my love of the cutty. His "Devil Anse" version is $85, and this is the first time, with all of the beautiful pipes to come across my sight, that I have ever considered spending more than $50 on a pipe...

    Tom Thumb Pipes-Who's Familiar?

    Found this little guy on etsy. It's a Tom Thumb, made in Italy. I've found some more on ebay, but pipedia has nothing to say about them. They seem to be an exclusively nose warmer make. This jerk sells new ones on ebay, but won't let you select which you want. They range from 3 to 4 inches...

    Smoking in Grizzly Backcountry: Concerns

    So, my husband and I were planning to do some backpacking in the Sierras this summer, but have decided to backpack in Glacier National Park for two weeks and sport climb in the Tetons for a week after that. I'll be honest, I don't mind black bear, but grizz scare me. We first backpacked in...

    Review of Smoke Zone-For those Traveling on the 5 North of LA

    The shop is called Smoke Zone and it's my favorite tobacco shop in the Santa Clarita Valley. A fair amount of people ask about shops they can hit up when they travel and this one is just off the 5 freeway, north of Los Angeles, CA. 25886 The Old Rd, Stevenson Ranch, CA 91381 (661) 284-1298...

    My Tobaccos Lose Flavor Too Quickly

    I've had this problem for a while, but now I'm out of solutions. I'll buy some tobacco that is absolutely delicious...for the first couple of weeks, at best. Then, the flavor starts to fade. By week three, I might still be able to enjoy it, but barely. By week four, it's just not worth smoking...

    2 Parts White Knight + 1 Part Black House = ...Grey Manor? Grey Matter?

    After a long commute home in LA traffic, yesterday I came home to a fresh order from P&C. I received two tins of White Knight, one of which was free, and an ounce of Black House. I packed a bowl of White Knight and found it well balanced and satisfying. Yet, it wasn't quite strong enough for my...

    Tobacco Refrigeration

    I've been storing my tobaccos in mason jars at about 68 degrees F, and have noticed a huge difference in flavor. I used to just refrigerate the ones I wanted to cellar, but now I put them all in a little wine fridge. It has significantly improved the flavor of my daily used blends compared to...

    Birthday Surprise!

    A friend of mine agreed to trade a Sydney P. Ram with a member of the forum (feel free to chime in, I just don't want to through your name out there, just in case) for two pipes. They didn't know one another, just put their pipes in boxes in good faith. The man who got the SPR threw in a 3rd...

    Suggestions for a Working Man's Lunch?

    So, my husband will be starting a welding job that'll have him busy 12 hours a day, 6-7 days a week :?. He's a wiry carb junky who couldn't put on a pound to save his life and he's constantly eating (so jealous). He'll be working outside, in the heat, made hotter by the fact that he'll be...

    A+ Experience: The Original Tinder Box in Santa Monica, CA

    I walked in the store with the intention of just grabbing some tobacco to take on our trip to Yosemite. Smoking around the camp fire in the Sierras with a belly full of my foil-dinner-carne asada, how could I pass that up? After describing my latikia love to the man at the counter, gosh I wish I...
