    Big Pipes Less Used?

    I smoke my larger pipes at home or on long road trips, and have a full rotation of small bowled pipes for work when I only have 20 minutes at a time for smokes.

    Who Supports My Pay Check?

    I actually have special kitty in a tidy cat tub. I also have meow mix in a tidy cat cat tub really, cleaning out the tubs they put the tidy cat in makes for great organization and it's cheaper than buying the same size in just bins. As for brand loyalty it's whatever happens to be cheapest when...

    Kevin Gatsby

    The real question, did you order the pipe to match the suit, or the suit to match the pipe? The stem/tie/pocket square coordination is too nice to be a coincidence.

    Empty Tins...

    I've been taking the metal pop lid tin's out to the range to throw spent shells in, then I toss them on the to be worked pile for making tampers. The plastic pull tab lid tin's get used for random and assorted too. one is full of spare stems for MM cobs, one has drill bits. I filled one up with...

    Cleanest Pipe Ever, or Horrible Ghosting?

    I'll find out in a few days, I suppose. While out at the campsite, while preforming a particularly harrowing maneuver in a golf cart I managed to bite down on the stem of one of my cobs hard enough to cause a crack in the side. Since it's one of my favorite campsite smokers, I decided to let it...

    You Dropped Your Pipe Where?!?! Tell Me Your Horror Story

    my worst drop was into an ashtray... I had just finished smoking one of my clays on a smoke break at work, I went to tap the ash out over one of the metal ashtrays and didn't realize there was still a cinder in the bowl. Burnt myself, recoiled from the burn, dropped the pipe, it hit the ashtray...

    EAC Inch Pipes

    either smoke super wet aros with the filter in or wrap the little piece the filter sits on with Electrical tape, and they make decent smokers. I suppose optionally you could wrap the external(stem side) of the magical inch with tape to give it a bit more of a chamber to aerate the smoke but it...

    What Makes a Good Pipe Stand/Rack?

    I prefer the open loop, mainly for space constraint purposes as I don't have to pull the pipes bowl out as far to remove a pipe.

    "All Day Smoke"

    well I've pretty much quit chain smoking nails in favor of a lit pipe in my mouth. Now on workdays four or five bowls are smaller 15 minute bowls I carry for my breaks. I've gotten a lot of use out of sugar barrel lately, but it depends on the mood

    "All Day Smoke"

    I usually smoke at least six in a day...more if I'm sitting around the house or campsite instead of working. last trip to the campsite I spent one day rotating between two cobs with almost no break between

    At Least They Left Me My Pipes

    firearms were in locked cases on the top shelf of the bedroom closet, with trigger and bolt lock devices in place. Bolts were removed(they are both bolt action hunting rifles, a .22 and a .308) clips and bolts stored separately in a locked fire safe(still in my possession)in the second bedroom...

Got most of my instruments, both of my rifles,two small desktop humidors and some assorted cigars, my travel case for cigars, and they emptied out my wine rack. They did however leave me my liquor cabinet, my pipes, my pipe baccy(since my humidor...

    What a Week

    On the upside there is a decent B&M near my folks house, with a nice smoking lounge that includes a keurig and pool table in addition to the standard comfy chairs. Plus when I stopped in to grab a few tins on my way up the mountain yesterday, I found out an old friend I haven't seen in years...
