    Filtered Pipes

    Practicality says that filtered pipes smoke the same without the filter, with or without the adaptor. But I reject a filtered pipe because however small, the draft must be affected by it. Because any typical barbarian like me cannot detect a difference doesn't change the impediment of the...

    Fried Flies

    My apartment has been infested with breeding flies. Kill a dozen and they're right back atcha. But no worries. I have at my disposal an electrocuting fly swatter that looks like a tennis racket, the webbing replaced by metal-transmitting electricity. Touch it when the switch is on and you get a...

    Battlestar Galactica

    As a member of the crew I'd be in sick bay with a diagnosis of utter exhaustion within 24 hours of duty, The whirlwind of my job, my friends in sick and dying, who's a Ceylon, and if so are they currently friend or foe, Galactica itself holding steady or terminal and the status of the organic...

    Tony Sopranos Cigar Selection

    Tony could afford whatever cigars he chose, but I don't believe he was an aficionado. He could afford the best of the best but lacked, I think, the ability to study, taste and study more. He certainly liked to smoke throughout the day, but to me it was in the back round without the...

    The Elusive $5 Cigar

    I chased this through about a dozen boxes but never brought my quarry to ground. It would take me a few hours to go back in memory to even half way recall what they were, 10 years later, so I won't, but the common characteristic was inferior tobacco. There was always something wrong. But as I...

    Cleaning Jars

    In the past I have washed in jars straight from the factory before using. But I read somewhere that as is the factory jars were 10% cleaner than the washed jars. Do you know anything about this? Or perhaps if you don't know, any repercussions using the jars as is?

    New Pipes

    I received my stimulus check from Publisher's Clearing House for $10,000.00 today. I knew it was en route so I had been thinking what to spend it on, and in a flash of inspiration I thought pipes! Yes pipes! Especially those cheesy, and even cheesier! Those of the flatulent and gruesomely...

    Aganorsa Cigars

    Everybody in the cigar history likes to claim that their seeds or their methods, etc, derive from Cuba, thus the name Cubanesque, but in practice soil and cultivation play as big a part as anything else. Aganorsa, however, went way out of their way to establish a Cuban link by hiring Cuban...

    Group Sizes, Especially ODA

    When I used to ask about group size from this one veteran retailer, he would say "It's Dunhill X," and as he said the word "Dunhill," his voice would have an odd inflection. He never said what he was communicating with the inflection, nor did what he say ever make the definition for group size...

    The Eternity Of Tobacco

    Watching the pleasure on a smoker's face today as he inhaled, I thought to myself that smoking is not going to pack up and go away, no matter how persecuted or delimited. The oral gratification, most notably taste, is substantial, as is the pleasure for pipe and cigar smokers of sucking and...

    Stalin and Pipe Smoking

    As told by a friend, before Stalin became Czar and started killing a lot of people, during the years he was coming to power he would get into trouble and disappear so that those he'd angered didn't effect his total disappearance. But at some point he would reappear and return to being Stalin...

    Sillem's Sale @SP

    A couple of years before I quit I came across Sillem's Commodore, "a pressed blend of full-bodied, smoky Latakia with Kentucky and a dash of Black Cavendish." I Just loved it. I felt that latakia flakes were under-represented and this flake had a flavor component beyond its ingredients, which I...

    Neerup Peder Jeppesen Pipes

    It's not easy for me to consider a brand. Unless it has a rep and costs more than $300.00/per, I breeze on through. But I've come to like this maker's tree-trunk chunk style, full of asymmetry, making just enough accommodation for the chamber, shaped with an idiosyncratic hand. And then the...

    SP Advertising for Drucquer and Sons "Blairgowrie"

    Curious about how SP can be making any money on sales of the brand given its nonstop advertising, for months it would seem.

    Tarantino's "Grindhouse"

    Planet Terror and Death Proof are the two films in this effort, the first a Robert Rodriguez effort and the second by Tarantino. The name grindhouse recalls theatres in the 1970s that screened exploitation films. Planet Terror has recurrent violence and gore, along with off-the -screen...

    Tobaccheria Corti Lecco

    Appears to have some seriously low prices on some pipe brands.

    How Many Lines of Code

    Hi Kevin, as a former programmer I was just wondering how many lines of code support the pipesmagazine application and who wrote them?

    Pocket Knives

    Last night I wanted to see some high-end pocket knives and found myself on William Henry's site. I wasn't disappointed. Many are exquisite, and, just to make sure you had sufficient admiration for his work, some came with a price tag of up to $45K. $45K??!! OMG!! So I'll keep these knives on...

    The New(er) Crowd

    I love that there seem to be more articulate and thoughtful members who can write on the board that I've ever seen. So great!
