    Love Forever Stems and MM Cobs

    Do the other stems have a cut, flush-fit tenon? I guess am am paying for convenience or fitted look. I guess I also like the little inlay dot the Foreever stems have. But thanks for the suggestions!

    Love Forever Stems and MM Cobs

    For newbies and those who like cobs... I have a dozen MM cobs--from basic to the Freehand. No gurgles, no real worries about scorching the top of the bowl, dropping pipes on the garage floor, or leaving in a hot or cold car. Only complaint--my still sharp teeth and jaw strength would chew...

    Powerball type of day

    Wife, daughter and grandkids out of town ... Dunhill EMP in a Peterson jaw hanger with coffee to begin day. Bailey's in coffee. Then played around with cleaning up Zippo lighters. Made report on wick issue to forum. A couple of bowls of Pease Westminster around lunch time in an old Kaywoodie...

    Zippo wick and packing redo

    Slow Saturday, so decided to clean up the three Zippos I have. Curiosity got the best of me, so I decided to adjust wicks too and check on the flints. Discovered that on two of the three, the wick was smashed at the top of the packing against the top of the chamber, as opposed to being...

    Things I wish I knew when I started

    1. Escudo Navy Deluxe for Vaper, Dunhill 965 for english... 2. Every time you order your favorite tins add something else to the order that intrigues you ... 3. MM Cobs--you can try out numerous tobaccos and get a feel for each in an inexpensive cob, and if you really screw it up you...

    Molto Dolce/Antifreeze?

    I have an unopened tin in my very cold garage, waiting on me to finish a couple of Christmas blends I have about finished up. Glad to know it won't freeze. As for me, bundling up and the new space heater are just making it barely tolerable. :)

    My One Issue with Ebay is...

    I guess I have been lucky. I have bought ten or so pipes from various folks on eBay. So far, they tend to go into the mail the next business day. Two different orders from France only took about a week to hit the mailbox.

    Tinsky 2014 Bengal Christmas pipe

    Life-long Bengals fan. Found a Mark Tinsky 2014 Christmas pipe with a finish named Bengal on SP and sent Mrs. Sollars a screen shot, hoping Santa might bring me one. She contacted SP, sold out. She did her search however, and found the Amsmoke.com site (Tinsky siite) and placed the order...

    Last Day with my Best Friend

    What is it about our dogs ... When I read about someone committing animal cruelty, i can't help but think it is somehow worse than what we humans do to each other. Our pets love us no matter what, they always come back to us with tails wagging. Pure love. We had to deal with the death of...

    New favorite

    Newbroom, I agree, it is not the best clencher as it is heavier than some. Then again, the garage is cold and so are my hands. The pipe is warm, and it is nice to hold!

    Wing is 2003. They are talking about snow this weekend, Road crews will sand/salt like we are having a blizzard, so riding is about done until Spring. Temps this week are highs in the 30s

    New favorite

    My new favorite, Missouri Meerschaum Freehand. Seems to love Dunhill Mixture 965, double the pipe chamber size. Cold weather in Kansas has moved me to the garage.

    Etiquette Question re Purchase

    Think about it this way ... suppose you had purchased an old wallet for a few bucks from an old widow, and later found a folded fifty stuck deeply inside it. Obviously neither party knew it was there. I think sharing the good fortune works, whether it be cash or some type of gift. I don't...
