How Many Times
Probably two. I tried when I was in my 20's but thought I looked like an idiot, and I was probably right. Same problem in my 30's. Now I'm old enough to look like I deserve to smoke a pipe. :D- collin

Pipe Smoking Craze?
"Pipe smoking craze.",......sounds kinda funny. But then stranger things have crazed. Urban Cowboy line dancing. Cowboy hats covered in quail feathers. And these guys;- collin

The effects of oxidation
Vulcanite or Ebonite, (or car tires for that matter), are made of vulcanized rubber, which is...oversimplified, a combination of rubber and sulphur. Over time the relatively weak chemical bond holding the two together weakens, resulting in the loss of sulphur. Sulphur is yellow......hence the... -
