    Jimmy Kimmel - I Told My Kid I Ate All Their Halloween Candy Again

    The responses of the children at the end of the video are amazing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOlpdd7y8MI

    Perfect Tobacco Jars at Hobby Lobby

    I thought I'd share these. They are nearly the exact size of a tin (flat and rounded square sides); each holds 8 oz (but probably 4-5 oz of tobacco). The cost was $7.80 for 4 Ball jars. They have a standard wide mouth lid with seal. My idea was to transfer a tin of tobacco into a jar to keep...

    Taxidermy

    Does anyone here do taxidermy? I've prepared various birds and mammals skins for scientific study (i.e. museum collections), as well as skulls and skeletons. I'm getting back into skull work and plan to do an entire small mammal skeleton display (maybe a squirrel or raccoon). I can do deer...

    My new YANIK meers

    I bought theses two pipes on auction through Ebay over a month ago; I just haven't had time to post pictures. I had been looking for an owl meer for sometime; the bid on the celtic knot meer was an impulse. Got them for a great price; the winning bids with shipping was $200. I've only smoked...

    Psychic Mind Reader??

    Even though I know that you all are smarter than the average "Joe", this video might be an eye-opener for some (especially for those who use Facebook). If you have children or grandchildren, this might be a good awareness video. "Dave is an extremely gifted clairvoyant who finds out specific...

    McClelland Blending Perique Bulk

    I purchased 4oz from cupojoes with the intent to add a little zing to some of my blends that I felt needed something more; I like strong flavors. The tobacco was extremely dark and moist with almost no scent. I added a bit to Frog Morton on the Town for my midnight smoke tonight. It's hard to...

    New Claw Meer

    In May 2012 I ordered my first meer; it has taken almost 3 months to arrive from Turkey. I received excellent communication and service from Mr. Sinan Altinok THANK YOU (not to say that I wouldn't receive good service from other distributors as well :wink: ). I smoked a small bowl of Shortcut...

    Question on Shipping when Ordering a Meer from Turkey

    I ordered a meer from Turkey back in May (no offense to Storient, it was before you became a sponsor). It has been shipped to the US and is at the ISC New York facility as of July 19th. Does any know how long an item may stay at this facility? Have you ordered a meer directly from Turkey...

    Cleaning Bamboo Stems and the like

    Does anyone have a method for cleaning stems that have expanded portions between the mouthpiece and tenon, like bamboo and others with special wood accents. These stems contain a "chamber" where a lot a muck can accumulate. Pipe cleaners do not seem able to do the job. I suppose one could use...

    Nicotine Hit or kick?

    I have been smoking a pipe (after a long hiatus) for a year now, smoking cigars 6 months, and just started using nasal snuff. What does a nicotine hit feel like? With my first smoke last year, I felt dizzy and nauseous which I suppose was from nicotine, but that happened once maybe twice...

    Question on smoking olive wood pipes

    Yesterday I purchased through auction on eBay a Mr. Brog olive wood Oliwka Edition pipe, and I'm anxiously awaiting its arrival. Does anyone have any experience smoking an olive wood pipe? If so do you have suggestions? I'm planning on breaking in the pipe as I would a briar (1/4 several...

    I found myself at Hobby Lobby today...

    ...so I thought that I'd see if I could find any pipes in the store (sort of a game). I went to the "Christmas Section", but no Santa or Snowman had a pipe; hard to believe. I next went to the new "Man Cave section" of the store, and I found Native American peace pipes! They are solid resin...

    Medical School Classroom ca 1910 in US

    Just thought I would share this picture that I found on the internet several years ago. It's from an unknown medical school in the US around year 1910; gross anatomy class. Wow, see how much has changed...what do you notice?

    My new Mario Grande (Ebay estate pipe)

    Just thought I'd show off my new Mario Grande (new to me anyway) I bought on Ebay. In the first picture, I compared it to my Nording Signature, so that you could get a better idea of the size. It's a lot smaller than the "no comment" variety, though the bowl is almost as deep as the Nording...

    Cigar Butts?

    How many of you dispose of your cigar butts by smoking them in a pipe? Do you "rough up" the cigar butt before packing it into the pipe or maybe mix the cigar tobacco with pipe tobacco?

    Vietnam law bans smoking in public

    "Smoking in public places -- including schools, hospitals, office buildings and on public transport -- was banned once already in 2010 by a government decree, which also raised tax on tobacco and restricted the sale of cigarettes. But that order was widely ignored, with smoking in public places...

    Proper Care of Corncobs?

    I recently heard on Youtube that a corncob pipe can last years (i.e. +30 year,) if cared for properly. I care for my cobs the same as I do my briars. Is there any special care that corncobs should be given?

    Shortcut to Mushrooms review

    I know a lot has been said about justforhim.com's Shortcut to Mushrooms already, but here's my 2 cents: I received my 3oz bag in the mail today, and have just now gotten an opportunity to try it. When I opened the bag the smell was intoxicating - it brought back childhood memories of our long...
