    Softy-bits Alternative

    Hey everyone- I’d like to reach out to the collective knowledge of the forum members regarding a possible alternative to the oft criticized softy-bits. I tend to be a bit of a chewer when I clench, so in the past I relied on the rubber pieces to protect the stems/bits. Recently, I was...

    The Trouble with Moving

    My old man once told me that a person learns by one of three ways: some learn through reading, while others learn by observation, and then there are those that just have to piss on the electric fence themselves. It seems I have an uncanny attraction to the third option.

    The Trouble with Moving

    And I should add that I know this box pales in to comparison to many member’s collection, but I’ve only been at it for two or so years and our current living space is a 1 bedroom, 800 sq. ft. apartment.

    The Trouble with Moving

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) As my wife and I have started to pack up the house for the upcoming move, it finally came time to start boxing up the various tins and jars of tobacco. Purchased bit by bit over the years, she never paid much attention. But now that it was all...

    How Do You Store Your Pipes ?

    It’s not much, but in an 800 sq. ft. apartment, you make do with what you got. Tried to hang the rack in the closet- wife vetoed that lickety split.

    Buying KY Dark Fired For A Friend’s Bachelor Party

    So a follow up to the bachelors party. It seems everyone here is surprised to the fact that "ladies of the night" were not involved as part of the usual festivities. Since this was taking place out in the 'holler of rural Tennessee, I was a little cautious on requisitioning such services...

    A Gift From Beyond

    Hah! I was eyeballing that same pouch. Congrats on the win and I'm glad I didn't get into a bidding war with you. Hope you get to enjoy the surprise tobacco.

    Dave Neeb Pipes

    I've spoken with him via email to purchase an estate Dunny. A class act all the way. I always look forward to when he uploads some new pipes. Someday I hope to have one, turning my 7 day All-American set to an 8 day. :ROFLMAO:

    The Country Squire Old Toby

    I’m not a huge fan of what I’d call “heavy” aros, but Old Toby is a great blend. Rivendell on the other hand is my ‘stuck on an island‘ tobacco. Man, that stuff is just awesome.

    Pipes on Your Wishlist & Pipes on Your Dreamlist.

    This Bill Shalosky smooth egg. I love everything about it, but the price. I just can't bring myself to spend over $400 for a pipe and this one is well beyond that. Hell, anything over $200 gets me antsy. But we all have our dream pipe..

    Blonde Stained Pipes Coloring with Age?

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) - Bob Hey gang, So the question is in the title, do pipes with a very light "blond" stain darken with use/age? I just received a beautiful Clark Layton pipe, and am just curious if its color will change over time or not.

    What's Your First Pipe Purchase of the New Year?

    Well, I originally ordered an estate Adam Remington from SP when they had their sale.. but damn, it was just too big for me. So I swapped it for this Charles Cole and I couldn’t be happier.

    Sad News: Foggymountain Has Passed Away

    And yet another forum member fades to silence. 2020 isn’t starting off too good fellas (and ladies). May Bruce’s heaven be filled with endless tins of Bombay Court, scantily clad women, and empty canvasses ready to be filled.
