    Let's See Your Kirsten Pipes

    Bless my girlfriend's heart she wanted to get me a fancy pipe this year for Yule and, of course, found the Kirsten website. Since we're local, and I hadn't seen a Kirsten in person, we decided to take a drive down there and check 'em out. Much to my irritation they had nothing on hand, except...

    How to Rehydrate Tobacco

    I had some that dried out in the ziplock bags, which I discovered when I was transferring my tobacco to canning jars. I have several boveda humidor 65% humidity packs so I emptied the tobacco into a gallon size freezer bag and tossed in a pack. I kept an eye on the humidity and took the pack...

    Cake Soap & Brush, Aerosol Can, or Lecktric Shave

    @Superdan- I recommend buying a brush and soap to learn how to make a good lather (hint- don't wash the brush between shaves, the soap stays in the bristles). Your face isn't used to being abraded, so the Bic Sensitive single blade razors are probably where you want to start. From there you can...

    Pipe Sweetener

    Good question- I did remove the stem. Since it came out so fresh smelling (and tasting), I think with this pipe I can safely say whatever was nasty was in the bowl. I stole the idea from the pipe wiki, if anyone wants to review my source for this. :)

    email notifications

    I like the notifications, but would it be possible to include the thread topic in the subject line of the notification email? Didn't want to start a new thread for something that seemed related... Thanks!

    Pipe Sweetener

    I just did a deep cleaning on my pipe that's supposed to be used with a filter (I don't), more or less following the demo in Bob's video. I used rubbing alcohol and was pretty sloppy about it because I wanted to strip the dulled finish off the pipe. It was never lacquered so I wasn't concerned...

    What do use to light you're pipe?

    Someone above asked about flint and steel- I've done it, but it's sort of a pain. You have to set your char on something that will let you move it to the pipe fairly quickly, and then it's not a 100% guarantee that it'll light. So it's almost stressful trying to do it (for me, that is. I'm sure...

    Pictures of my pipes

    Hey guys, first chance I've had to reply because I was gone all weekend. Thanks for the kind words, the Mrs is definitely a keeper. Richard- those are really nice. That meer is stunning.

    Pictures of my pipes

    Hey Folks, so the wife bought me a graduation gift and I decided to show off the collection while I was taking a picture of the new one. Cobs and clays on the right, there's a little devil-faced clay on the jars, a couple of briars, a meerschaum lined briar calabash, and on the right are two...

    The Joke Thread: Not Safe For Work (NSFW)

    In order, the animation is Pstl, me, a new guy who found the pipe babes page, and the cat just found out that you can't have tobacco shipped into WA. :D

    The Joke Thread: Not Safe For Work (NSFW)

    Favorite Sayings......

    Oppie- I have actually instructed my wife to have "No Good Deed Goes Unpunished" engraved on my headstone. :) My other favorite saying (well, I use it a lot anyway...) "This is bullshit." :D

    Most Famous Pipe Smoker...

    Most famous for smoking a pipe, or most famous and they also smoked a pipe? Because I'm thinking you can take your pick of the Founding Fathers... Oh, and Tolkien ;)

    Irresponsible Reporting

    Hey!! PARADE (the insert in your local Sunday paper) is a bastion of journalistic intergritahahahahaha... I couldn't do it. Anyone getting their facts from Parade needs a thorough head examination by the kind of doctor who would be proud to have their study published in Parade (read: the kind...

    Complaints about Spring

    This spring I decided to be smart about my yard- I laid down about 1" of dirt, reseeded and now I'm waiting for it to pop up :) No mowing, etc for several weeks. Heck, if it stays wet and cloudy the seed might die. Then I'll have to do it over again and wait that much longer to get out the...

    Substitute for tobacco jars

    Coffee dispensers aren't airtight. How would you keep the tobacco from drying out, without turning the entire store into a humidor? (or am I missing El Humidor's sales gimmick?)

    Cherrywoods ...\"like they used to was.\"

    @Phil- yes it does weigh a lot compared to, well, any of my other pipes. I tried to hold it in my mouth, but was afraid I was going to pry out a tooth or have to crush the stem in my teeth to keep from dropping it :) @Jonesing- cherry -is- nice to work with. No surprises, aside from a couple of...

    Cherrywoods ...\"like they used to was.\"

    Thanks for the compliment! I'll see if I can fiddle with the shape. It smokes like a chimney and I don't get a lot of time in the shop anymore (I'm almost done with my BA and I get to choose from MA programs if I decide to start this fall). So for a first try, I'm calling it a success- but I...
