    Pipe Reamer

    I swear by the Savinelli fitsall. I have a Senior reamer, a Castleford and a Butner. But if I was to own only one, it would be the Savinelli. You can really screw up a pipe with the others, but the fits-all is pipe friendly.

    What's With My Spiders? A Loving (?) Pair

    Interesting! Smoking a pipe (outside) I do a lot of wildlife gazing, and I am very fond of our 6 legged and 8 legged friends. Wish I knew what was going on with those two.

    I know this has been discussed before, but I can't find it. This is such a nice tobacco, but it's on the pricey side. Can anyone recommend a comparable burley in bulk or tin?

    Would This Happen In The USA? (Margaret Thatcher)

    Has anybody heard the Ella Fitzgerald version of "Ding, Dong! The Witch is Dead!" ? No- doesn't happen in this country, (USA) people lose their jobs if they badmouth a canonized politician.
