    How Old Is Everyone

    51. Bought my first pipe in college in Athens, OH in 1987 at a place called "Pipe Dreams."

    Pipe Tobacco VS. Hot Sauce??

    Depending on the food, I like Frank's, Tabasco chipotle, Sriracha or Sambal Oelek.

    Estate Find

    Found this at an estate sale last week: My guess is it was made more for decoration, rather than actual smoking, since it seems to be made of softer wood. It hasn't been smoked. Anyone know anything about it?

    Estate Pipe identification

    I have the stem. I was in the process of cleaning it when I took the picture.

    What is Your "Unicorn" Pipe?

    A birth year Dunhill would be cool, but I don't consider that a unicorn since it's actually attainable. If I had a unicorn it would be this pipe: That's my great-grandfather on his porch in Muskegon, MI, around 1910. I doubt the pipe still exists. My dad's cousin has some of his stuff, but I...

    Looking for Tobacco Advice

    I agree with mso, but I would also try going to your local tobacconist and checking out what they have for sale, and asking them for recommendations. What's great about that is that you can examine and smell the tobaccos and make a decision based on that. And don't be afraid to tell them you're...

    What Music Are You Listening To? (February 2018)

    ^ I wish! I just paid about $100 for a ticket to Dead & Co. Seems kind of the antithesis of the hippie ethos... That's a must for any pipe smoke, if only for the cover! (I'm also a vinyl guy)

    Estate Pipe identification

    Interesting. The color is what drew me to it, too. Why? I doubt I'll ever smoke it, but I like it and I think it looks cool. I only paid $5 for it, so I'm happy with it regardless.

    Estate Pipe identification

    I picked up a pipe at an estate sale last week, and I was wondering if someone could help me identify it. I looked for it on that pipephil.eu site and couldn't find anything. Here it is: It says "The Pipe" on the side. I removed the stem for cleaning. Thanks!

    What Music Are You Listening To? (February 2018)

    My recording of Greensky Bluegrass from the House of Blues in Cleveland Wednesday night. https://archive.org/details/gsbg2018-02-07

    Pipes in Art Part 2

    I work in a medical school, and this is on the wall in one of the lecture halls: It's a painting of Dr. Antonio Scarpa, former chair of the depart of physiology and biophysics. I'm surprised no one has called for it to be taken down for promoting tobacco use.

    A Few "Non-Smoker Newbie" Thoughts

    I did. I started with cigars (thanks, Uncle Earl!) then went to a pipe, and had to explain to my RA in college that it was indeed ONLY for tobacco. But I found cheap aromatics were a nice way to start. I didn't want to invest a lot at first, because I wasn't sure I'd like it or want to keep...

    Sick Next Day After Smoking

    I've noticed that I react to some wines. My face will get red, and I feel like my body temperature is going up. So, I avoid those wines. Smoking has never given me weird dreams (I don't smoke very often), and the only negative reaction I've gotten is that when I brush my teeth, my tongue will...

    Lifestyle?!!

    I've always found it odd to spend a lot of money on something you're going to set fire to. Prairie Home Companion (I think) did a parody video on "artisanal firewood" which is along the same lines. As for the "lifestyle," I don't know what that lifestyle entails, so I'd have to say no. I did own...

    RIP Hugh Hefner.

    I'm gonna have to disagree with you. I don't think Playboy was ever porn, but then I'm an artist, and what I find pornographic (which I don't think is necessarily bad anyway) is probably a lot racier than most people. I find violence more obscene than sex will ever be.
