    Forums Membership Grows, But Do Posts?

    Here's some perspective from a guy who came in all hot and interested, then faded away... I got my questions answered. I had a member piss me off - Warren, (he can't read, and will stay a miserable person) The forum rules are hard for me... All words in initial title post capitalized? It's...

    What Stereotypes Do You Have/Believe About Americans?

    What Stereotypes Do You Have/Believe About Americans?

    Just a bit off subject, but this thread reminds me of a trip I took years ago... I was a loadmaster on US Air Force C-17's. I was on a mission around South America in support of US Embassies- basically quick stops dropping off cargo, picking some up, and hopping to the next country or city...

    How to Detect Good Briar?

    Just my opinion, but I have found that buying from a artisan carver has a significant impact on the quality of briar that you will get. In my case, I paid about $300 for a pipe that a carver (on this forum) put his name on. He put his name and reputation on this pipe. To me, this ensures the...

    US Customs and FDA are Attacking Pipe Smokers

    I think a lot of you guys are giving far too much credit to US CBP. As I mentioned in another thread awhile ago, I've had literally hundreds of interactions with CBP as a cargo aircraft crewman. If there's any constant in CBP, it's that there is no constant. In my experience, no federal...

    Sutliff Molte Dolce (How Did It Take Me This Long?)

    So would you say it's good for "Hooking" new smokers? :)

    First Ever Pipe Restoration (Dad's Dr. Grabow Ajustomatic Eldorado)

    Nice restoration! Coming from your dad, it's a nice piece of Alaskana as well. Can I recommend my technique of keeping the better half at bay? Similar to your pipe "problem" I have a gun problem. I used to get eyerolls (and sometimes worse) when new guns showed up in my man cave. These...

    Again We Are Facing to Tobacco Tax Increase

    Yet one more reason to cellar wide and cellar deep. Personally, with my experience with employees of the Great State of Alaska, there will be a few more years until their competence rises to the level of taxing our online purchases. But, there's no reason to tempt fate... we need to get what...

    Your Most Versatile Blend

    HH Old Dark Fired for me. It's not my favorite at any given moment, But it's so unique in it's classification, it fits in just about anywhere. It's not an English, but kind of is, it's not a VaPer, but certainly has VA taste. If I have a hankering for any particular type of smoke, I don't pick...

    I Will Be Introducing a Cigar Guy To Pipe Smoking...

    I appreciate the civil discourse without hint of condescension- thanks! I never knew that "hooked on" referred only to illegal narcotics. Looks like I need to revisit a few of my "Hooked on Phonics" lessons.

    Title of thread: Sorry Warren, I’ll try to make every further post as if there were no context so that there will be no more confusion.

    I Will Be Introducing a Cigar Guy To Pipe Smoking...

    Oh for crying our loud, he's a pack a day Marlboro smoker and a 2-3 cigar a day smoker. I "HOOKED" him on the taste and experience of pipe smoking. Good job taking a statement and spinning a narrative.

    I Will Be Introducing a Cigar Guy To Pipe Smoking...

    Yeah me too :) I smoke cigars, pipes, and (trying to lessen) cigs. Of all these, pipes are the lowest maintenance for me. I buy tobacco in bulk in large purchases, jar them up in canning jars, then never worry about them. As for pipes, I use a looped pipe cleaner and twirl them in the bowl...

    Navy Flake and Fish Death

    AK Piper: Mea Culpa. I called a trooper acquaintance of mine this morning, since I was beating my head against the computer screen trying to find the law that I KNOW I've seen. He said that they changed the verbiage a few years ago to what you said about sell or barter etc. There wasn't any...

    Navy Flake and Fish Death

    Gross earnings... sounds like you're talking a lot about high seas Pollock fishermen with 500' boats, and "Deadliest Catch" crab fishermen in high gross earning industries... not the average SALMON fisherman who owns a 32"-56" boat, lives in Alaska, and has absolutely no bearing on the...

    Navy Flake and Fish Death

    My google foo is weak at the moment for the actual law, but here's an exerpt from the ADFG Faq: ³ Fish can be shared ONLY with immediate family members (regardless of residency). http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/static-sf/Region2/pdfpubs/dipnet%20101.pdf Speak for yourself. Non-res comm fish jobs...

    Navy Flake and Fish Death

    alaskanpiper: My argument is not necessarily for you, but I had to say something since you didn't know that it was illegal to give dipnetted fish away. I can't necessarily agree with you about commercial fishing, since 1) they are highly requlated on their openings and quotas, and 2) those sold...

    Navy Flake and Fish Death

    Further explaination: Salmon tend to run in large groups in shallow water on the edge of a river. During the high tide swing, they rush up the river, typically in the deepest part of the river, which at the mouth is usually 5-8 feet deep. A dipnet, is a 5 foot diameter net, in which people...

    Navy Flake and Fish Death

    I personally try not to violate the law. Salmon is a delicate resource, and way too many people clog up the Kenai to send fish to family outside. I'm NOT a fan of that. I'm from Homer. One of the bains of our existance is Anchorage people coming down to the Kenai, dipping for more than they...
