    Same pipe, same tobacco, different experience

    You got a correct answer from the guy at the vendor. Your body chemistry, including the palate, can/will change from diet, illness, exertion, age for sure, and other stuff. Not sure why anyone would find that dubious.

    Pipe Collection Succession Planning

    You and I are both a hell of a lot closer to the end than the beginning. Knowing how close is both a comfort and, at times, a distraction. I find myself more often with a cigar in my mouth than a pipe lately. Tastes and desires change.

    Questionable Rant

    I don't hoard or "cellar". I buy only what I can smoke over four or five weeks. I "like" nicotine so... I enjoy the pipe, the cigar and cigarettes. I certainly do not love my wee vice but, I do enjoy the nicotine and turning my hard won moneys into smoke.. You're imagination is wrong for...

    End Tobacco Loopholes Act (United States)

    It simple irks me when someone puts tobacco use on an equal footing with marijuana and alcohol. Uses booze/weed to justify smoking tobacco.

    End Tobacco Loopholes Act (United States)

    It's understandable easy enough which still leaves your equating weed/alcohol use as specious. Weed and alcohol abuse are simply two entirely different subjects and have nothing to do with the legality/illegality of tobacco use. I didn't mean to imply not understanding your statement. It...

    Pipe Collection Succession Planning

    My presumption is my daughter will bin my pipes as they would hardly be worth time and effort required to resell them. Packaging, mailing, correspondence all for a few hundred dollars. She has more sense I hope.

    End Tobacco Loopholes Act (United States)

    And such correlates with smoking how? Apples and oranges I think. Specious.

    What Can You Argue Against This?

    It's an opinion. It is mostly futile to argue against another's opinion... no matter how incorrect one thinks it is. rotf

    Unique Piece of Art...

    Kinda tacky, auctioning off a gift. But, it was a gift so, he can do as he wishes I suppose.

    Ohh God I Just Want To Smoke My Pipe

    I agree with the OP up to a point. A wee bit of "me time" is necessary. A bit of selfishness is healthy. But, only a bit when there are kids involved. Raising kids will try even the best of us at times, and time to think things through, "me time", becomes invaluable.

    Introducing Friends to Pipe Smoking

    Under no circumstances I can think of would I encourage acquaintances to start burning up their moneys through smoking. I'd be doing them no favors. If a smoker asked for suggestions, I suggest they follow my path, trial and error. I learn better doing that and the lessons learned are more...

    Rainy Weather Smokes?

    I'm in control so, I smoke in the rain and/or snow if I wish. I'm not going to melt so, what's the problem? The weather doesn't impact when I smoke outdoors. My work requires me to be outside in all types of weather plus, I like the look a soft rain adds to many of my shots, softer colors. I...

    Smoking as a Conservative Act

    If "Conservative" is capitalized, politics is usually being discussed. And there are many, many shades of "Conservatism." Otherwise, I interpret "conservative" as a person slow to accept change. I stick with WFB's observations/writings when discussing true "Conservatism" politics and no other...

    When and Where.

    Eight plus bowls a day. I don't over think it. If I want a bowl, I stuff, light and enjoy, working or at rest. I don't. I smoke for the nicotine, . The pipe is a tool for burning up your hard earned wages, a wee vice. No financial constraints for me, I can easily afford the luxury of...

    Smoking as a Conservative Act

    I don't belief "conservative" was being use in the political sense. The context indicates more a person averse to change/innovation.
