    A Work in Progress...

For the rest holes I drilled close to the edge of the board from both side so it would't split then ripped the board lengthwise with a handsaw. If I had a table saw it would have turned out better but worked...

    A Work in Progress...

    I've finished and now you can tell I'm no artisan. I spent a whopping .29 cents on a piece of green felt and lined the holes and rests.

    Nutty Flavors

    Hi all. I'm a recent cigar convert and am really enjoying the pipe. I find myself drawn to strong tobaccos in flavor and nicotine.(probably since I can't taste the subtle flavors yet) So far I like Royal Yacht, Old Joe Krantz, Escudo, Bulls Eye Flakes, and Solani Aged Burley Flake. I really...

    Bad Nicotine Buzz

    I dip a wet finger in a bag of sugar and pop it in my mouth. It will almost instantly cure the effects of nic sickness.
