    Slow Server Response

    In the past several days, I've noticed slow response from the pipesmagazine server. I'm not seeing this with other sites, and I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this. Here's a ping test, not sure if this is the problem: Ping results for pipesmagazine.com at 18 Apr 2024 02:34:02 PM ...

    4.7 Quake in NJ!

    Just had a 4.7 magnitude quake in Tewksbury, New Jersey. 50 miles away in Quakertown, PA it felt like a Blackhawk was landing in my backyard. Whole house shook.

    The Kindness of a Fellow Pipe Smoker

    I arrived back home from breakfast this morning to find this gem in the mailbox. Thank you @jguss! And such a thoughtful and heartfelt card to go with it, that was really the best part. I will enjoy this out on the deck, as soon as the first leaves emerge. There is nothing like the dawn of...

    Notifications Won't Clear on iPhone

    This seems to be an iPhone or mobile app issue: There are times when I'll get a notification on the PM app on my iPhone, and even after tapping on it and reading the notification, the red number doesn't go away, and new notifications don't show. If I move over to the desktop, the problem isn't...

    The Great RYO Smoke Out!

    The Great RYO Smoke Out! The Lehigh Valley Pipe Club will put @Briar Lee to the test on Wednesday evening as we host a blind taste test of nine different RYO blends. There will be three controls (well known pipe blends of similar composition to the RYO's), but participants won't know which are...

    Does This Look Like Cancer?

    I would no sooner ask forum members to diagnose a tumor than I would ask them to diagnose if a tin of tobacco contains mold. I'm just getting really tired of all the posts asking total strangers, with no training in mycology, to determine if the snapshot that they posted shows tobacco with...

    Post-COVID Nicotine Hypersensitivity

    I seem to have developed a much reduced tolerance for both alcohol and nicotine after my last bout of COVID. My alcohol tolerance is now just one glass of wine or a 12 oz beer. After that, it really isn't very enjoyable, and get groggy and feel like I took a few cyclobenzaprines. I can feel...

    Yiannos Kokkinos Pipe Raffle, Fundraiser

    This from Sally Gottleibson (The Pipe Tart): RAFFLE FOR YIANNOS Many of you know by now that my good friend Yiannos Kokkinos had a break in at his works. Pipes, tools, briar, rods, etc were stolen. Losses estimated at around €15,000(a bit over $16,000) I want to do what I can to help a man...

    Director's Cut Update?

    Director's Cut Update? I'm finishing up my tin of original HU Director's Cut from 2015 and considering a possible re-order from Esterval's (even though I have stated unequivocally that'm done buying). I remember a recent thread, however, where folks were decrying the changes made since the...

    Translations, Please

    I just got in an order from Esterval’s, and I see some new, cheery missives on the tins. These are like the fortune cookie messages of the pipe world, I just love them! My high school German is still pretty good, so I’ll take a swing at the translations (left to right): “When you are smoking...

    What Happened to the Roof Thread?

    I had a reply all ready to go... 1. Never let a contractor on your roof without you going up with him. My parent's roof was damaged by a contractor in a similar scenario. 2. Never get any work done by someone without local, verifiable, recent references. An established, skilled, local...

    Kudos to P&C

    A recent thread here tipped me off to another P&C Cash offer, so I got an order in for several pounds of bulk and some Gawith Hoggarth Dark Plug. In addition to the $100 P&C cash, I got free shipping and a very nice surprise: My order went out USPS Priority. It shipped the same day. And it was...

    Lakeland Brain...or...Aroma Memory

    While driving home from an assignment yesterday, I was suddenly overcome with the aroma of Lakeland. I wasn't smoking, and there wasn't the scent in the air. It was all in my head. Yet, it felt like it was in my sinus. This made me think about aroma memory. Sometimes, an aroma will just manifest...

    CI and PayPal: WTF?

    A few months ago, I got a call from CI informing me that I owed them money for an order that was placed, and shipped, last December. They had no invoice numbers and couldn't email any of the order information. After searching my records, I discovered that while I had indeed paid for the order...
