    Storing Pipe Tobacco

    I'm strictly a Prince Albert man, so I just keep it in the red can that it came in. I think I'll try the Mason Jar, what could possibly go wrong?

    Straight pipe or Curved pipe?

    Well, I tried out my first straight pipe today. I didn't like it. My ol' Grandpa, God rest his soul, said that "a bent pipe is a workin' man's pipe. Straight pipes are for dandy's." I don't know about all that, but I can honestly say that I just plain prefer a bent pipe. Straights are fine for...

    Welcome New Members

    I have NO idea where I saw the link to this site, but I'm glad I stopped by. I live in N.W. Georgia where I run Dixiemade Woodworks, the same old guys that taught me woodworking introduced me to pipe smoking. For me, it seems, they both go hand in hand.

    Straight pipe or Curved pipe?

    Thanks for your input, I was just wondering what people prefer most and it seems like the bent pipes have it. I don't even own a straight pipe, but I think I'll go buy one just to try it. I might even get some of that "fancy" tobacco to smoke in it. (lol)

    Straight pipe or Curved pipe?

    Personally, I prefer a curved pipe. Some call it a crook-neck, some call it a bent pipe. Whatever you want to call it, a curved pipe stays out of my way when I'm working and I don't have to keep one hand on the pipe(like I do with a straight pipe). So what do you guys prefer, and why?
