    Guitar Players?

    I never really had AAD or AAS Amplifier Acquisition Syndrome. I have Fender silverface Princeton, Princeton Reverb, reissue Deluxe Reverb and Roland Micro Cube. That pretty much covers all my needs. I use the Princeton Reverb on most gigs

    Guitar Players?

    GAS is bad. I have started making my own strats from unfinished bodies using nitro paint. I have sold a few it's a bad hobby but lots of fun. I use Fralin, Lollar and Chris Klein pickups. I could not figure out pictures. cool that so many pipe smokers are also musicians

I am new to flake so my inexperience could be the problem. I have rubbed, cut and folded I have read a lot of people age...

    Pipe Stigma?

    I am too old to care about the hipster thing but the pipe appears to be less offensive to others than cigars

    Pipes Vs Pipes and Cigars

    both - started pipe abut 8 or so years ago, cigars 11 or 12 years ago. Stopped the pipe for many years recently started back. I now smoke one cigar in the evening after dinner and too much pipe during other times. A good Cuban cigar is still tops for me

I was able to move it to the side to pass a cleaner through it but the piece of plastic is still attached I also ordered a bulldog from Mr...
