    Always great to hear Sykes. Actually, Brian, people aren't necessarily the world's leading authorities on their own opinions. Socrates demonstrated that quite a while ago.

    Of course the final five questions have right and wrong answers. Truthful answers are right. False answers are wrong. Am I not right? :)

    Illegal for the Underaged to Listen to a Pipe Smoking Discussion?

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) - Bob Does anyone know of a state or national law that forbids the underaged from listening to, say, a podcast about pipe smoking? I've heard word to that effect, but I have hard time believing it. (How would it be enforced and wouldn't a warning...

    A Worm in My Bulk?

    So does that mean I should toss the tobacco? That is shaped differently from what I saw, not as long and it is plumper.

    Indian meal moth larvae. That's what mine looked like.

    A Worm in My Bulk?

    On a tip from a FB pipe friend, I Googled Indian meal moth larvae. That's what it looks like. If so, it's probably not the tobacco.

    A Worm in My Bulk?

    Me too. Frankly, I was so startled -- I'd never seen such a thing before in my house -- that I just grabbed a tissue, balled it up, and threw it away. I kick myself for that. It was a half-inch long, white, and thin. Come to think of it, my first thought was "caterpillar" because it seemed to...

    A Worm in My Bulk?

    That's what I did. I spread it all out in batches and found nothing unusual whatever. So it's okay?

    A Worm in My Bulk?

    After opening a just-arrived bag of bulk Va tobacco, a thin, short white worm appeared on the table right next to the bag. I've never seen such a thing in my house before. So it must have come from you know where. What should I do?

    FDA Begins Unannounced Inspections of Pipe Makers

    Isn't this the "tobacco legislation" subforum? The FDA is conducting inspections on the basis of the 2009 Tobacco Control Act.

    Pressed Meerschaum

    I assume what I have a pressed. It was an embarrassingly low-cost (new) pipe I bought on eBay, under $10, shipping included. Yet it looks good and smokes well. I infer it is pressed because the underside has what looks like a seam -- it's not very obvious -- where the slightest bit of color has...

    Cheap vs Expensive Meerschaum

    Do pressed meers color?

    Pressed Meerschaum

    Is it a confirmed fact that pressed meerschaum will never, ever color? I have an inexpensive pressed meer pipe that smokes great and has a great bent-apple shape with a red lucite stemp. But having smoked it since April 2017, it has not turned at all. Is that the way it's gonna be? Thanks for...

    I had to take the Sutliff 150 Mark Twain out of the jar to dehumidify it.
