***What Are You Smoking, May 2025?***
I read here of some who salvage the last bits of tobacco from a tin, a jar or a pouch. There's enough for about half a bowl, then they top it off with some other bits. Um ... BINGO ... they have a PARFAIT. Any recollection of me (Sandblast) commenting that if I were to change my "name", I've...- Sandblast

Celebrating Cob Tue (5/06) with something new. Notwithstanding my other cobs, I've always admired MM Missouri Prides for the rugged basic simplicity of their Natural Unfinished bowls. YouTube has some interesting videos on them, where owners pay tribute to their Prides. So, about a year ago, I...- Sandblast

Thought it fitting for today, Cob Tue (5/06), that honor should be paid to Grannie Hawkins, Outlaw Josey Wales. She told Josey that when the Union soldiers found him, they would "heel & hog him to a barn door". Thinking that doesn't sound pleasant.- Sandblast

Well, gord ... I've broken this Commandment MANY times and continue to do so on a regular basis. And probably best if I refrain from identifying which Forum brothers & sisters, but some domestic, some overseas. "Pipe Porn" is very enjoyable (!!!). NOTE: I may as well include "Flake Porn" &...- Sandblast

Congrats on a successful experiment (!), but I'm sorry to say that this try alone won't allow you to call yourself the Inveterate Tinkerer #2. Keep plowing ahead, though, and earning it may be within reach (someday). :ROFLMAO: Of course, I'll be right there, pulling for you.- Sandblast

For Lumbridge: "First smoke of D&R Penhooker Silver in a Missouri Pride cob that I modded by adding a dowel plug. I think this is going to become one of my favorite pipes." I'm curious what you might charge to do this mod on my 2 Missouri Prides ... a straight & a bent. Of course, I'd cover...- Sandblast

I'd be interested in how you did this. Maybe wait until the WAYS in May. I've got 2 Prides, a straight & a bent. Both came with black stems. I like their "basic-ness". Some good YouTube videos on them, also.- Sandblast

Wow ... this article is absolutely fascinating. Of course, it's so "politically incorrect" compared to today's standards. The recipes look fantastic, which would be great substituting beef or chicken. For Easter Sun, I made a leg of lamb which for many is controversial enough. Couple years...- Sandblast

Well, since gord opened the topic ... (NOTE: Jim can be so thankful for us Pipe Forum brothers !). People also ask: Is possum good meat to eat? Possums have been eaten by Native Americans and introduced to early European colonists in North America. They are considered a good source of protein...- Sandblast

Great ideas. Might also be good mixed with some Red Virginia ... plus some variations dribbling in some Perique or some Latakia or both. Lots of fun potential (!!!). So says the "Inveterate Tinkerer". :LOL:- Sandblast

And today ... (Tue,4/22) ... I wanted to partake in Cob Tue. I'm also strongly considering picking up another Cob. Won't say how many I'll then have. But to give a warning ahead of time about not wanting to be rude, I have to say I won't entertain any questions along the line of "Do you...- Sandblast

Curious about Super Balkan, I read some reviews. The following description was really captivating: "Super Balkan puts Burley in the driver seat with Perique navigating, while Virginia, Latakia, and Orientals act as mere passengers along for the ride. Consequently, it strikes me as more of an...- Sandblast
