    I Am So Pissed At Myself Right Now I Could Die.

    Remember, the only people that don't have accidents are those that don't do anything. You have now had a learning experience.

    My first Missouri Meerschaum

    You can take out the filter and cut it in half. This will prevent ashes from coming up the stem but will still allow a smooth draw..... It is recommended that the filter be changed after 10 pipefuls..... I usually wait until the draw becomes restricted, but that's because I'm lazy.

    Corn Cob Prob

    A further suggestion would be to check out the videos at Aristocob.com. Scott has a video on how to fix a too loose or too tight stem. He also has a lot of interesting video info about cobs on the site.

    Packing a partial bowl

    I find I smoke in short spurts..... 10-20 minutes..... then off to do something else.... MM offers the pony and their hardwoods have small bowls too.... and my cheap Indian smokeshop tobacco is dry and smokes fast.... I wish I could sit still for an hour of enjoyment..... alas, it is not to be.

    Good Grief I'm Getting Outta Hand Here...

    Since joining, I have come to learn what the term pipedreams really means.... when I can sleep, I dream of pipes, tobaccos, aromas, all things pipeish!

    Oh My God! How Many Pipes Did You Buy!

    :puffpipe: Tis' interesting how each of you deal with the same problem.... I recently purchased the grabbag from MM.... when I offered my wife her choice of cobs, she declined (she doesn't smoke).... so here I sit puffing away... in peace.... thankfully

    Wild Weather for Pacific NW

    I live on the east side of Washington, close to the Idaho border. Have watched a lot of lightening but mostly to the east. Love to watch while enjoying a pipe.
