    First Custom Pipe

    Well, Chaps, that's going to be an absolutely beautiful pipe and I love the accents of the round being used as the mount. As a fellow military member, and pipe smoker, know this. It'll get a hell of a lot of use out in the field and everything. haha. My rusticated one for shipboard use gets a...

    Proposed Increase In Legal Age For Buying Tobacco Products

    I'm with the majority on here and being an active duty military member it strikes home for sure. A bunch of the military members have picked up smoking to relieve the stress from the life. Walk outside, get that nicotine hit, and calm down while everything else is hitting the proverbial fan...

    Mythical Birth Year Pipe

    So, here I am looking for a new pipe and I get bored. Hey, everyone talks about getting their birth year pipe and me getting married here soon enough. That would be the perfect thing to hint at for someone to get me, yes? At least that's what I was thinking myself and here I go searching and...

    Good Start To The Morning

    I'm right there with you. I'm on leave for the next week before some major work ups for my ship. So, I decided to brew a nice thing of tea and start drying out a bowl.

    Pipe, Ball Game & Birds....Spring Finally?

    Man, spring comes to all the states and San Diego goes into a slump. "Cold" and rainy all day for the past three days. Wish I could be sitting out on my porch enjoying a pipe, but alas it will return. Congrats to all of ya'll who ended up getting good weather finally.

    Dottle, The Unburned Tobacco

    I'm more along the lines of roth and them. A little dottle near the end of the bowl doesn't bother me in the least. Sure, I try to smoke it down to all, at the very least, charred pieces, but at the same time if it starts tasting ashy and acrid then I consider that particular bowl done for the...

    It's Been a Good Month for My Cellar.

    Racine & Laramie is my local B&M that I go to more often than not. Also, yes, you can smoke in the shop. They have a little backroom where they light up and enjoy some conversation. Though, I didn't know that Captain Hunts was SD's pipe club home. Now I definitely have to go out to it whenever...

    Brand New Pipe and Tobacco

    Well, it's time to break in a brand new Peterson's Dublin that fellow forum goer, ghelp, sent my way. I must say that I did not expect something as magnificent a pipe as something like this when he said he wanted to send me a pipe of his in the mail. This Peterson Spigot is just downright...

    Stinger Cleaning

    In my defense the stinger is easily removable by hand. I'm just wondering in case I prefer the smoke with the stinger in on this particular pipe. Each their own, aye?

    Stinger Cleaning

    One of my newer pipes has a stinger in it and I was just wondering what everyone else does to clean it out. I've been using the extra thin pipe cleaners, but they don't always seem to get everything out of it after a smoke or what not. Is this natural or is there other ways to do it? I saw a...
