Frustrated and Desperate :(
I have a specific suggestion, one that helped me immensely. First, whatever the tobacco, leave it out for a good hour before packing. Put it in a shallow bowl and let it dry. Second, pack it, light it up, and crack open a good book. Read the book and puff the pipe maybe once in thirty...- cynyr

Who's Giving Up Pipe Smoking for Lent?
Peanut butter. I eat it right out of the jar as a snack and a dessert. I'm not Catholic and I do not attend any services, but I have respectfully observed Lent for several years.- cynyr

Aromatics
Comes down to taste, in my book. After smoking menthol nails for twenty years, non-aros are dull and tasteless to me. I've tried plenty - EMP, Fusilier's, various Frogs, VAs, VaPers - they all taste the same. I ain't knocking them, it's just that my palate isn't sophisticated enough. (Or has...- cynyr

Grinders?
In my line of work, I run across a lot of these grinders. :wink: I did actually clean one up last year and try it on some tobacco, but it ground too fine for good smoking. I don't remember what kind of tobacco, only that it was chunky. I reckon a man could modify one for a certain size, but...- cynyr

"Saturday at the Old Pipe Shop"
Al turned me on to Reborn Pipes some months ago, and it has been such a pleasure keeping up with the projects and reading the archives. One of the premier pipe sites on the 'net! I'd do just about anything to have a Local like the one Steve so vividly describes.- cynyr

Unusual White Spot Pipe
Man, that really is a beaut, Foggy. That shiny stem makes it look like it's going for a night on the town with white ascot. Maybe a show with a duke's daughter, drop by the Drones for a whisky with Bertie Wooster, then to bed. Got to get up at eleven sharp, tomorrow is Old Boy's Day at Eton... -
The Bucket of Shrimp
Great story - made me shiver. Eddie won the Medal of Honor in WW1 as America's premier flying ace. He didn't have to go to the Pacific, but he went. It was that kind of time.- cynyr

Classy! Nice pics. Is it all one piece, or am I missing the seam? -
Pipes From My Grandfather (LARGE Pics)
I've never seen one like the Sparkproof. That's a great feature! I hope your grandkids are as happy to get those pipes as you are. :puffy: -
My Last Newbie Question (I Hope)
+1 Sothron. I generally find the last third richer and tastier than the first third, if I have done everything right.- cynyr

How Much Is Too Much - When Showing Off Your PAD?
Very interesting. I have never felt like anyone here was 'showing off' or 'boasting' when sharing a new purchase. It never even occurred to me. Maybe I haven't been paying attention! -
My Bargains, Restored...
Got to love a bulldog. You got a great deal on the pipes,and ejames did his usual masterful restoration. -
Pairing Tobacco and Drink
Well, I drink black coffee all day, probably way more than is good for me, but I also drink lots of water and no soft drinks at all. I just don't care for the taste, never have. But... hot black coffee with a good tobacco is luxury!- cynyr

Got My Nording Today
Thanks to all. It's my first Nording, as well as my first real "name" pipe. I know, you can't smoke the name, but it appears to be perfectly drilled and is a substantial piece of wood, so the odds are with me. Thanks for looking!- cynyr

Got My Nording Today
Thanks, guys. I'm proud of her! There is a small faded patch at the front, apparently the pipe was on display somewhere for a long time. But it takes a flaw to highlight perfection. :P- cynyr
