Pipe bag and a new pipe
wow- nice birds eye grain on that briar! love the chunky, solid shape too. i have always been a bit scared of thick-walled pipes, believing (perhaps incorrectly) that thick walls crack more easily due to uneven expansion as they heat and cool...perhaps someone will correct me on this if they know? -

Canker Sore
i've only had one once but it lasted almost 3 months and was on my gums near the back molars....if you ever get one that lasts more than 3 weeks go see a dentist straight away as this can be a sign of oral cancer (in my case i was on the point of getting a biopsy when it healed with no...- scotrob

The pipe I couldn't sell
yes I have this problem, which is why i tend to buy Estates I bought this Jean La Croix pipe recently, new....and it was so black and shiny and gorgeous when I opened the box that I have yet to bring myself to smoke it....perhaps I will keep it and sell it sometime...but it was way better than I... -
Nazis...on the Moon
lol- looks a bit like "Mars Attacks" to me,,,,and it is described as "sci-fi/comedy" aside from all the evils perpetrated by the Third Reich, let's not forget how anti-smoking they were too!!!- scotrob

Can you tell me about this pipe?
and in case no-one else has said it "welcome!" to the forum the only italian pipes i know are Savinellis (although there are other Italian makers) so i recommend you visit the pipedia website and see if you can find out more. -
Nicotine And Appetite Suppression
Nicotine is supposedly an appetite suppressant, so we are told (and thus is the reason why so many cig smokers pile on the pounds after they quit)- do any pipe smokers here find pipe smoking to suppress appetite? Do you eat more if, for any reason, you are unable to smoke for a day or two? Here...- scotrob

Latakia... what's the deal ?
hmmm- i find that many Latakia blends are often VERY moist, especially so-called Balkan mixes and the like....moist tobacco will lead to a hot steamy smoke which will scald your mouth..perhaps that is the problem? one other variable you might want to experiment with is the pipe stem: if your...- scotrob

Smoke and Drinks Analogy
really though you can mix and match almost any way you like....i tend to smoke more in the late afternoon and evening than in the morning, and at that time of day I will either be having a whisky (or a whiskey to which i am also very partial) or wine....and although you might not think it, white...- scotrob

Pipes from the wilderness
@bigvan i was also wondering whether some woods might impart a flavour to the tobacco; e.g. apple wood, which always smells so fantastic when it burns (not toxic to my knowledge either) or pine which would surely have an aroma and flavour when smoked- scotrob

Problems with Cigarette/Cigar Smoke but Not Pipes?
well i grew up around a family whose members mostly smoked cigs (my Dad was a pipe smoker however) and to this day I find something oddly comforting if I catch a whiff of cig smoke after someone has lit up....however, I do find that cig smoke can catch my throat if someone is smoking near me and...- scotrob
