My Pipe is My Fidget Spinner
I worked with a fellow years ago, now long since retired, who told me that during the "golden years" of office work with smoking permitted: "a pipe was the greatest thing to smoke during a presentation, because you had something to fiddle with while you thought of an answer to an audience...- greysmoke

What is a "Stinger" for?
There's nothing wrong with a stinger that a pair of pliers and a gentle twist can't fix. And does anyone else find Kaywoodie's use of the word "Drinkless" in this connection to be obnoxious? Drink less? How about drink nothing??- greysmoke

Danish Pipe Shops
I was privileged to visit TDPS shortly before it moved to its current lodging. It's a rare thing: a retail shop that's actually focused on pipes, rather than a cigar shop with a pipe stand in a corner. You'll spend a lot of time there.- greysmoke

Hello from Connecticut
Much of what I learned of pipes and tobacco I picked up by frequenting Chief Catoonah, a B&M pipe shop in Ridgefield, CT. The late Dick Silverman, proprietor. I lived in Danbury at the time. Those were my pipe smoking "golden years." Welcome aboard....!- greysmoke

Your Experience with Bit Grips/Softy Bits?
I use "Maxfashion Rubber Tobacco Pipe Tip Grips" that I bought from Amazon in a 12-pack. They work fine. A little tight, but they stay in place. I use them primarily for my Upshalls to preserve the original stems, which tend to be a bit softer than most other vulcanite stems. Worth the price.- greysmoke

Culling the Herd: Anyone Else Feel the Need to do So?
I've done this periodically over the years. Pipes, like Tribbles, are all too easy to accumulate. And I just don't like the sense of materialism that comes with a surplus. After several decades with pipes, and a few rounds of serious culling, I'm finally down to the point where it's extremely...- greysmoke

The Perfect Outdoorsman Hat
FWIW, I've owned this battered Filson Tin Cloth Packer hat since 98 or so. The brim is pretty short, but the tin cloth actually holds up as well as they say it does. What doesn't hold up is the leather hat band. It's made of cheap bonded leather. I recall being somewhat surprised when I saw how...- greysmoke
