This Could be Mega-Bad
State highways can be your friend when you need to evacuate. When we evacuated Slidell for the big K storm, instead of getting on the interstate we traveled north on a 2 lane state road. It was fairly slow until we got into Mississippi and turned west on a four lane highway but we made it to...- pappymac

Kirsten pipes, how they draw
My Kirsten is pretty open. The only thing I didn't mention previously is running a pipe clean through the metal tube/stinger. -
Kirsten pipes, how they draw
The first thing to check is the valve on the front. It can be removed for easy cleaning of the pipe. The valve on mine has a hole on it that has to be aligned with the draft hole for the bowl. If it isn't then it will restrict the draw. (I speak from experience as the first time I smoked a... -
Edward's Pipe Smoking Pamphlet Circa 1965
Oh. My 4 children are constantly asking for my advice now but they all went through a phase where they didn't want to listen to their parents. They got smarter after their teen years.- pappymac

Edward's Pipe Smoking Pamphlet Circa 1965
Do you have children? How many of them always think they know better way to do things than you do? Not one of my biological children but a good example. Back when I was still on active duty I had this one young petty officer who worked for me and was constantly questioning why I did things I...- pappymac

Best Figural Meerschaum Carvers Taking Commissions?
When I think of antique Meerschaums I always think of the beautiful pipes featured in Rapaport's "Collecting Antique Meerschaum" book. I've rarely see anything as complex and detailed as those carved long enough to be antiques. I've often wondered if they were carved more to be presentation or...- pappymac

The Cat is Stealing my Tobacco!
That might explain why the two cats my daughter and granddaughters adopted like to spend time under my desk where I keep part of my cellar. The female cat will jump on my chest when I'm sitting in my recliner and rub herself on my beard after I've smoked a pipe or two. The male one will sniff...- pappymac

Being Petersonised
I never really liked Peterson pipes because of all the negative comments about the lack of quality control and people not liking how they smoke. Then I found a Peterson Kapp-Royal at a junktique shop for $30. It has a stem stamped IRC which made it a store pipe from Iwan Ries. I restored it and...- pappymac

Do Aromatics Suck?
I've always wondered how many "I hate aromtics" are secretly sitting by themselves and enjoying a good aromatic smoke. Nope. They don't smoke because they don't see pipe smoking as feminine enough. I miss the Drew Estate blends. Grand Central and Central Park Stroll were my favorite of the...- pappymac

Do Aromatics Suck?
Here we go, another "I hate aromatics" thread. It's simple, smoke what you like. If you don't like aromatics, don't buy them. If you have aromatic blends you don't like, trade them or give them to someone who is interested. Do ALL aromatics suck. No, but like Pipke said, some do. (But even...- pappymac
