    Well I'm Fat Pt2

    I wish I hadn't clicked on this. And I wish some of you hadn't cliqued on this, I see the same old folks are still at it after a couple years, and this isn't the only thread. 80 percent of the people on here have so much useful knowledge, the other 20 are just satisfying their own boredom at...

    Sanding vulcanite stems. still learning

    This is my first day logging in to this one in a year or two... There's less issues in biker bars than this forum, bikers are some of the kindest hearted folk there are, until disrespected. That's why everybody's so respectful to each other, be it at a bar, poker run, gas station, anywhere...

    C&D Harshness "Solved"

    It's been a year or two since I have posted here, but I had an epiphany that may help others who may be having the old recurring problem with C&D, and it doesn't take a year in a jar. This wont be an earth-shattering finding for most of you, but I haven't seen this stated outright, and it took...

    Supporting Local Shops

    If you enjoy buying lots of tins without regard for the cost, that's perfectly fine (it's your money) and I completely understand it. I do that with watches, which are definitely more expensive, but the value isn't arbitrarily inflated for the dealer to make more money. And watch dealers in...

    Supporting Local Shops

    I hear you, and to some extent quite agree. This is a little different though, its often times the same tin of of something like GLP domestically produced from a domestic company online, versus paying 3x that price for "taxes" at a local shop. Last time I ordered from P&C they charged me the...

    Supporting Local Shops

    You have some good points, and for anything else I'd just take my wallet elsewhere, but I will probably visit this B&M again. It didn't have a smoking area or free coffee, but it was the kind of store with such a selection that I could forget about ordering online, as long as the cost was only...

    Supporting Local Shops

    You are right about shipping to WA. I'm not a WA resident so I can still order online to my house, I just travel a lot. I was suspecting some local WA shops are taking advantage of the shipping constraint. I guess maybe it works for them because the locals have no other choice. 95% is high...

    Barrel/Basket Pipe Prices

    I'd agree with $50 tops, and in that case nothing should be melted. It seems a lot of B&M's have been raising prices to make more money... how much profit did they make on that $70 pipe that you did NOT buy? It's like they forgot that we all have the internet and credit cards.

    I visited a B&M yesterday in Washington State. It was a pleasant experience and the owner was very personable, and I really wanted to spend some money there, but I just couldn't bring myself to pay 3x for something that I could have at my doorstep in a week. However I want to support these...

    Tell Me about Sutliff Match Victorian

    I have a half pound that's been jarred for a year, yesterday I opened the first one... tremendously more enjoyable to me than when it was fresh, more dark fruity taste and less edginess to the spice for me. For me it went from just ok, to really good, it's time to order more and get the cellar...

    Briarville Repair

    I swear those pictures looked good on my little phone screen before I posted them... It's a good thing I don't try to make a living via photography. As for how long it took, I think it was a few weeks, but not sure. I had them shipped to my hose with my family while I was away for work, I...

    Briarville Repair

    I just received my repair from Briarville. It was an Italian basket pipe gift with a tenon snapped. There's a little gap and the bend is ever-so-slightly off... But for $40+shipping I'm very happy with it. I've seen several of you receive new factory and handmade pipes much worse for far more...

    Food & Drink in South Korea - What to Try?

    I was just in Busan a few months ago, Mom's Touch is a good fried chicken chain there. This place was my favorite though: Lol. Also their family restaurants were really good, as well as their sushi. And the steak houses. I ate a LOT haha, explore and you wont go hungry.
