    Makeshift Pipe Rest

    As I have no workshop or tools other than a few of my grandpa's old "Woodwright's Shop" looking things, I made an improvised pipe rest out of some cheap materials. The box it came from: With a Baronet Bruyere: With a Big Ben Dublin: With the empty 50g tin I sometimes use to prop it up: With...

    Cool unexpected clencher...

    I was reading about Joseph Nye Welch and the Army-McCarthy hearings yesterday and went to Youtube to watch a video. About 1:25 into it, there's a guy on the right of the screen behind McCarthy's left shoulder puffing away and throughout both clips he's got that pipe clenched and smoking. I think...

    Womens U.S. Open

    I've never watched much tennis until recently. I could care less about the mens' competition, but good God, I'm loving the WTA. Particularly the Serbian beauty, Ana Ivanovic. Pic 2

    Harvest Pictures...

    If any of you guys have a garden, now is a great time to post some pictures and maybe a few comments on what you plan to do with your harvest. A few peppers from mine: In that pile are; habaneros, heirloom "Hottie" habaneros, Caribbean red-hots, serranos, jalapenos, cayennes, so-called "super...

    No New Municipal Hires for Pipe Smokers in Largo Florida...

    When things like this pop up enough, they begin to sound normal. This new development is as silly as anything in Gainesville or anywhere else, but I can't say it's shocking or surprising at this point. It's not even surprising that people find it acceptable or don't bother to question it. Story...

    What I Feared is Happening...

    With the never ending attacks on the tobacco industry, I've thought for a while that alcohol would be the next target. The same arguments are being used and I fear they will inevitably bring the same sort of legislation that the tobacco industry is suffering. The argument is: "Underage and Adult...

    Turning on the light for late night whizzing may cause cancer...

    Scientists are saying there's cancer trigger caused by the brain's response to switching on sudden bright lights at night. Per the article: "If you want to get up to go to the toilet, you should avoid reaching for the light switch. There are some plug-in lights that just glow, that are safe and...

    More Waxman Baseball Hijinks...

    Henry Waxman is going for two familiar birds with one stone by trying to persuade Major League Baseball players from using smokeless tobacco on the field. Thanks for butting in where you don't belong and for abusing your power once again, Henry. I wish we could distract you with cheese. Story...

    Tropical Bob...

    There's a guy with a video blog on Youtube named Tropical Bob. His videos are all about different ways to save money on nicotine delivery. This guy really thinks up some crafty and sometimes borderline hare-brained ideas. His manner of speaking and approaches to saving a buck make him one of my...

    5 Brothers in Stock...

    Here's a small retailer that has some 5 Brothers. I haven't done business with him, but he's a respected member in another pipe forum. http://www.pipetobaccotls.com/page04.html

    Sterling Tobacco Samples...

    There is a company called Sterling Tobacco that is offering samples. I heard of them and the offer through another forum. There are no reviews on tobaccoreviews.com. Sterling Website I contacted the owner by e-mail with the requisite information yesterday which was returned with a very cordial...

    Video: \"I Am a Pipe Smoker, Not a Pipe Rester\"

    This guy makes a persuasive argument and I'm inclined to believe him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRRpkqmsxE4 Look at the oxidation!

    Bad Luck with Bjarne Vikings...

    I've owned two Bjarne Viking Classics. I ordered them at the same time and have had rotten luck with both. The first bout of bad luck was when the tenon came out of the stem of one and stuck in the mortise. I pulled it out with pliers and used Gorilla Glue to mend it. It was never a great smoker...

    A Very Specific Jar for a Very Specific Tobacco...

    A nice container to keep a short term stash of Luxury Bullseye is a Kraft Old English cheese spread jar. I'm not sure how well it works for storage longer than a month or so, but just using it to segregate a small supply from the big stash works out pretty well. It's also good for longer flakes...

    Possible Stem Cleaner and Buffer...

    A couple Christmas seasons ago, a beautiful young lady of indeterminate origin was demonstrating products for the Dead Sea Spa in the mall. I let her wash my hands in a bowl and before I knew it, she was buffing and polishing one of my fingernails with a 3-sided gadget. First, she roughed it up...

    A Great Pipe for Moist Tobaccos...

    I have a Savinelli Baronet Bruyere Author that will smoke a wet tobacco like no other. It may have to do with the shape, since the bowl is conical and very wide at the top. It has thick walls and nice open draft. If Popeye had this pipe, he could've smoked his spinach. My tastes may have changed...
