    Pipes and the fairer sex.

    I've seen this with other female pipe smokers I know. With red I am lucky in the fact that while she prefers aros she also likes my english and doesn't mind the smell of Latakia. I sill find this amazing since everyone I know says the easiest way to break up a marriage is to smoke latakia for a...

    Fills That Reveal Themselves Later

    Every one of my savinelli pipes has done this -.- When I buy them they seem to have no fills or perhaps just one or two in an area I can live with. Usually within 2 to 4 months as the pipe darkens a bit from use they will begin to turn orange and show through the rest of the finish. I have had...

    Your Cellar

    I tend to get my mason jars from ACE hardware stores. They always seem to be on sale if you buy them by the flat/12pack.

    The Brand New SmokingPipes.com Website

    I agree with the others that it lacks the warmth of the original site. Going from warm tones to so much white is a bit of a shock. Over all I like the layout of the new site though I do have a few nit picky things. I greatly dislike the grey text on a grey background used on the bottom section...

    Hidden Treasure.

    I find it amazing that a pipe over 100 years old looks that good. It makes me wonder what kind of journey it has gone through all these years before winding up in your hands. Truly a wonderful find and a piece of history to be cherished. Thanks for sharing sandpiper.

    Snobbery....

    I have already given this group of pipe smokers the highest honor I can. I made my fiance, who has just began to get into our hobby, join to meet all of you. I can not think of a better group of people to help her find her own way of enjoying pipes. I know the people on here are wonderful and...

    Smells good, tastes bad.

    The tobacco Red is talking about is a 3.5 oz tin of Mac Barren Honey & Chocolate. The label reads "Honey & Chocolate A Fine loose cut blend made of a very special kind of cavendish. The long and delicate cavendish process makes this blend soft and smooth with a taste of honey and chocolate...

    the cleanest tasting light you can get...

    I actually sent them an email and they sent it to me free of charge and they took care of the shipping. In the sample they sent me I got 2 wounds of their standard wick and one of their thick wick. The thick stuff works much better for the pipes as it burns slower. It did take quite a while to...

    Anybody A Health Care Professional? Doctor Or Nurse?

    I used to be an EMT in Los Angeles, CA. Almost every doctor, nurse, and EMT I knew where heavy smokers. Most everyone working in the ER where pack a day or more. They where mostly cigarette smokers as they did not have time for anything that took longer. I knew a few people that smoked pipes...

    For Nerd Eyes Only...

    Oooooh >.> I see much free time vanishing due to this. It has been a long time since I played a text adventure. This time I may not get lost with one of those shiny mappers. Me and the paper tend to disagree more often then not.
