    The Official 2024 NHL Playoff Thread

    My Blues decided to sit it out this year and I don't have a second favorite, so here's hoping two Canadian teams make it to the final and somehow both lose.

    Cats? Lazy? For Them It's an Art Form, Like Ballet

    If you have a cat, you have a pet. If you have two cats, your cat has a friend. Any more than that and you become "that weirdo with all the cats".

    Cats? Lazy? For Them It's an Art Form, Like Ballet

    A little cooperative woodshop I used to be a part of rented space in an old industrial building that was just starting to renovate. One of the guys got a couple cats from a specialty feral cat rescuer/relocator to help keep the mice away from our unit. We were told not to expect to see them...

    Lester Young Repeats as USA Slow Smoking Champion!

    The FAST smoke tobacco was Malort-topped. The SLOW smoke tobacco was a burley blend thoughtfully made by LJ Peretti and was available for sale in larger than 3 gram portions at the show.

    Commissioned Set of Two Pipes Less Than 1k, Received!

    I kept my mouth shut about which stem and stummel I was more attracted to during the commission process, and let my spouse pick first after she was surprised with the set at the Blue Room Briars table. She chose the white-stemmed pipe right away. Jesse then admitted that he had been...

    Commissioned Set of Two Pipes Less Than 1k, Received!

    The darker one has very similar flame grain, tho no quilting. You'll have to forgive my photography for not showing it off better.

    Commissioned Set of Two Pipes Less Than 1k, Received!

    The Juma accent is a nod to one of his "get to know you" questions. It's my spouse's favorite color. The symbolism of two rings is no accident, either.

    Commissioned Set of Two Pipes Less Than 1k, Received!

    I think they perfectly bridge our two collections. My Spouse remarked that they look so different to the eye, but feel almost identical in the hand. Mr. Jones did an outstanding job.

    Commissioned Set of Two Pipes Less Than 1k, Received!

    If you recall, I polled this group last year about who you might ask to make a set of two pipes. One each for my wife and I. Original thread here. After considering the short list you were able to provide (and thank you all for that, I had no interest in or capacity for the from-scratch...

    Chicago 2024: Who's going?

    Limousine rides? Was that one of the perks of being slow smoke champion? Because, if so, I will start practicing a lot harder.

    Solar Eclipse. Have Fun.

    From Chicago , 93% of totality was just neat. I agree with Cosmic that the weird shadows were the coolest part.

    Eight State Burley Question

    As an experiment, you can get a pouch of Sir Walker Raleigh or Half and Half from a convenience store and try a bowl. They're burley based and have about as much PG in it as the leaf will hold.

    Let's See That Knowledge

    They have a few on display here at Arlington Pipe and Cigar. I bought one of the 2014 a few years back and it was like you say - wrapped in thin cellophane and dry as a bone.

    Pipe Lamps for your smoking room.

    It wouldn't be that hard to wire one of those candle lamp/night light bulbs into a cob. Not quite as sleek, but definitely a pipe shaped light. Buy a whole bag of Missouri Meerschaum seconds and make an antler chandelier style pipe lamp!

    Pipe Lamps for your smoking room.

    Saw these while shopping around for lights for our new house. Thought I'd pass the link along in case any of you have a smoking room in need of thematic illumination. https://www.bulbsquare.com/collections/wall-lights/products/modern-creative-pipe-resin-hardware-1-light-wall-sconce-lamp
