    Got My Nording Today

    Friends, I am proud to present my new Erik Nording Freehand Aristokrat: These are the seller's photos, but I can't do any better. I have it in my hand, it appears to be very lightly smoked or even unsmoked altogether. I'm a happy dude today!

    I Couldn't Hold Out Any Longer

    That's a classy one, for sure. A lot of work went into that! Enjoy!

    Scorch Marks On The Rim & Plateau

    Not really an answer to the original question, but since the subject of 'topping' came up, Al's friend Steve at Reborn Pipes has an excellent overview. I have topped a couple using his guide, and the results were nice!

    Freehands

    I picked up a Mastersen freehand estate made in Israel just recently. Nice shape, but it smokes like a rabid incontinent raccoon spent the winter inside. It's undergoing a second salt treatment just now. That said, the freehand shape is really beginning to grow on me, and I'm saving up for an...

    T o Many

    I think that's from Reno-911, it sure sounds like that blonde girl. Funny stuff!

    The Weight

    Bless your heart for the kind offer. I don't need anything, but very nice of you to share the wealth!

    Any noobs in the house? From one noob to another....

    Excellent points, as all above have affirmed. Smoke to please yourself, and don't obsess over details.

    Freemasons and Other Fraternities

    Colonel, Freemasonry as we know it developed mostly in the 1600s, and there are reputable claims of predecessors as far back as the Peasant's Revolt of 1381. The late John Robinson makes a good argument about escaping Templars forming the nucleus of the oaths, but it's all speculation. Albert...

    New Obamacare Premium Hikes for Smokers

    Some years ago, I realized that I am going to die. Shouldn't have been a surprise, since it's happened to so many people already, but it was. Logically and calmly, I told myself that someday, my life functions will cease and my body will rot away. I'm going to die. To be dead. No more fun, no...

    Pipe Smoking in the Military

    I'm wondering where TopD is... Josh, that's a very good summation of Air Force tech school. I did a seven-month school in the Eighties that wasn't near so restrictive, but when I retrained after 9/11 those poor kids were treated like babies.

    Freemasons and Other Fraternities

    In my experience, Masonry (and most other fraternal organizations) are slowly dying out. Young men don't have the time to dedicate to them, and the old heads are ... um... dying. That said, this world has a desperate need for more young men to embrace and live by fraternal principles - that is...

    Freemasons and Other Fraternities

    Go DeMolay! I was MC of my chapter in the Eighties. I took my three degrees in 1995, and the Lodge pretty much saved my life after getting divorced. I attended every single meeting, went thru the York Rite and attended all those meetings, even traveled with the Grand Lecturer. All that kept...

    On the Topic of Value Pipes: Grabow

    This thread inspired me to load up my Grabow for the morning smoke. Satisfaction!

    Brigadier Black "Alamo"

    I really dig Alamo, but I haven't had it since I started smoking Bull Run. I highly recommend either of 'em!

    My WW2 RAF Friend - Update

    Cherish this treasure! Send him my sincere thanks for his service. Those RAF (and RFC) guys were my heroes growing up, I devoured the books and built the models and dreamed of those days when I ought to have been applying myself. You are blessed to have him, and he is blessed to have your help.

    Early Bird Club

    Dreadful cold yesterday, and probably not much better today! Looks like a good day for PA in a cob... and then off to the range to qualify.

    Early Bird Club

    Grumpf. All my crew off today, so I do inside paperwork and answer the phone. Coffee is on, and I'm packing a bowl of Bull Run.
