    Official FREE Pay It Forward Thread

    @mackeson -- I'm not well-versed on cigars, either, most of them being out of my financial reach. But I have a fondness for La Aurora, because every one of their lines has this warm, honeylike taste and aroma. Even their little foil-wrapped ready-to-smoke ones, which I should get another box of...

    Sorry this reply took so long, but I have been going through a lot of computer tsouris lately. Time to say Thank You! to pipesmokingtom, who sent me a pouch of that Sambuca licorice bombs. I have to say, coming from the world of cigars, that ain't much. 'Fact, I'd ordered some Five Vegas A's...

    HUH!!! Grr. My Mac doesn't have "Direct link" on its control-click menu. It has "Copy link." I am going to try the sli.mg link deathmetal gave us before. I think it worked.

    FORGET IT. The Imgur trick didn't work, either. I give up. Damn Macs.

    Okay, trying Imgurl for the first time. Let's hope I get it right. I didn't. Crap.

    West Central Indiana Pipers

    I'd love to meet up, but Indy trips are squeezing my budget a bit. One of our guys lives up near Mishawaka in South Bend, which is where I am. The Tinder Box was closed down a couple of years ago because SB/Mish's tax-and-frighten tobacco laws bite the less harmful guys (non-cigarette smoking)...

    Please help me identify this pipe

    Well, it works...IF you double-click/tap o the link and choose "open in new tab." Here come some more blank ones. Just double-whatever (or left-click for Windows?) If I can find the correct instructions to put these up (on one of the threads), I'll post them.

    Please help me identify this pipe

    The post on whether a Danish pipe has value or no brings to mind my recent eBay finds. I am not sure I shared them with you already, so here goes. I hope this time I get the trick easier. This time I am using DropBox with associated links. Let's see what happens.

    Can anyone identify this pipe?

    @manansmiff Yes, some pipes do look very artful in their design but they were designed for smoking. If it were all a matter of choosing a travel mechanism for nicotine, there would be several better methods. Pipes are a fairly clumsy one. But some of them aren't made for smoking, but to be...

    Can anyone identify this pipe?

    It's the same way with any collector. I have several glass vacuum coffee pots over 50 years old, and some chrome even older, on my kitchen shelves, but they're so fragile I couldn't use them. I've got a few that I can use, though, if I want, but in general I want them to give my kitchen...

    Can anyone identify this pipe?

    Jay, because it may be practical, but it's also a work of craftsmanship and art. I would no more ruin it by scorching it than I would "improving" the Mona Lisa by adding mascara. It's a beautiful thing to me on its own, and I believe it has a place on my shelves with the books, the jade dragon...
