    Pipes With Pins in Them

    Walt, that pipe looks like a "sea urchin". I bet it never heats up in your hand. I could take some sea shells and glue them to an old pipe. Hummm. All sorts of ideas come to mind. None of them very good.

    9/11 Never forget.

    It may not be popular, but burning kerosene, jet fuel, can't melt steel or concrete.

    PAD Drove Me to Buy an Old Dunhill

    It will look much better with a new stem. The one thats on it doesn't do it justice.

    Dunhill Controversy

    I have tried to cut brair wood with a rasp and with wood carving knifes, It ain't easy. Shaping a pipe with hand tools only is really tough. I would compare it with making a pistol from a block of steel with a file and a hand turned drill. I don't have the patience to put in that kind of time.

    Generous Donor

    My thanks to Huskysibe---Your are now a member of retired Navy, a huge faternity. And now you are joining a much smaller faternity, pipe smokers. I did my time in the USMC but not retired, I was mucking around in the tidal swamps in Nam. I am very happy to be a member of these 2 groups.

    Pipes and Poker Go Together

    I play poker at --Double Down Casino-- on Facebook. Therefore it is legal, and it's play money. Still there is the thrill of victory and pain of defeat. At this time I am 47 million ahead. A lit pipe while playing seems to double my playing and smoking pleasure.

    2 For 1 Pipe Filters

    I use Dr. Grabow pipe filters in my M&M's. I cut the filter in two. Not just to save money. When you live south of the border as I do, they become hard to come by. So I cut them in two. In the past I would use my pocket knife to cut them. That caused a problem because cutting them would crush...

    One Tin At A Time?

    In Central America there is only one glass plant and it is located in Cartago Costa Rica. They make beer bottles. Here the only glass is a beer bottle. Because of the shipping weight, mailing a glass jar is prohibitively expensive. Storing the baccy in baggies is not the best. On the bright...

    Sometimes It Is Hard

    Sometimes it is hard to tell if you are getting tounge bite. Living here in southern Mexico as I do, allows me to take the test anytime. Here's how. After you have smoked a bowl nice and slow pop a "Jalapeno" in your mouth and crunch it up. I prefer to take it one step further. I get a vine ripe...
