Buy a 6mm or a 9mm pipe?

Buy a 6mm or a 9mm pipe?
As a user of exclusively filtered pipes, I much prefer 9mm over 6mm.- EvertonFC

Offensively High Resale Prices On Unicorn Blends
Yep. It's a good way to learn what you truly like. I do a monthly blind over zoom with a group of friends. It's always fun to see what you like when you have no preconceived notions.- EvertonFC

Have you seen "Made You Look" on Netflix? Apparently even the foremost art "experts" don't even know it when they see it.- EvertonFC

Offensively High Resale Prices On Unicorn Blends
That's true. And if this was a yacht forum, I'd completely agree. However, we're not talking about things priced only for the well to do. We're talking about things priced for wider consumption, whose prices have been driven through the roof due to the *perception* of value. I know a lot of...- EvertonFC

Offensively High Resale Prices On Unicorn Blends
Mostly, I just find this stuff laughable. In the bourbon world, the average person who buys Pappy wouldn't choose it in a 4-glass blind against a bunch of sub-$50 bottles. It's no different with Cuban cigars, it's no different with wine, it's no different in the art world, it's no different...- EvertonFC

One Light Pipe
Great post. Although I don't think about relights, as I mentioned earlier in the thread, I've never noticed that it's also my preference to relight. I mostly smoke for 10 minutes, put the pipe down for 20 minutes, smoke it again for 15 minutes, etc. That said, I have noticed that some blends...- EvertonFC

One Light Pipe
I didn't really start enjoying pipe smoking until I stopped caring / paying attention to how many relights I was doing. I think the belief that most experienced pipe smokers light a bowl once and smoke it to a fine white ash, with zero relights, creates a sense of failure in new, would-be pipe...- EvertonFC

Philadelphia Pipe Club?
Seems there's interest here, but no one is taking the lead. I don't want to step on anyone's toes, but I'd be happy to start rebooting this as we get closer to spring. That said, I'd also be very happy to stand by and let someone else do it.- EvertonFC

The Breath Method as Described by Muttonchop Piper
That's all fair. And I totally agree; people once needed to be more self-sufficient than they do now. And you're certainly not wrong; all of this is a product of its time. I just sense a certain, "old man yells at cloud" vibe, whenever the topic of YouTube & pipe smoking comes up. Which by the...- EvertonFC
