  1. Swiss Army Knife

    Phased Tobacco Ban Bill Proposed in California

    I'm already picturing PipeStud lording over a great American tobacco cartel, cabana hat and all.

    Everlasting Seiko Five watches

    I knew I liked you guys. Such killer watches. I've got tomorrow's Citizen on the bedside table right now.

    Ten Years At Hard Jabber, And Thank You All!

    Man, ten years. Congratulations! You're one of the familiar posters that really helped guide me through my initial days of pipe smoking when I often ended up in ancient threads via Google. So, thank you!

    Customs - Ouch!

    This thread made me laugh at the thought of Canadian border patrol lackeys combing our humble forum for pipe tobacco smugglers. They probably don't get paid nearly enough to put up with us. Unless their name starts with 4 and ends with oggins no online storefront is in the business of...

    Wessex Red Virginia Flake

    Was this one of those K&K blends that got unceremoniously "retooled" recently? I remember much ado about Wessex's Campaign Dark Flake but feel like someone, maybe it was JimInks, said the recipe had been adulterated for the worse.

    Something we can agree on?

    This is great, I always really like product shots and openings of things that are long gone. Steve1989 on YouTube does a similar thing with military rations. Thanks for posting it.

    Best Way To Clean Up Rim Darkening?

    Spit'll do the trick. If it's scorched the briar they'll have to sand it and refinish.

    Who Are The Real Tobacco Snobs?

    This is my stance as well. I've bought a few $100 tins of Christmas Cheer which sounds insane to some, mostly outside our little hobby but still. Would I love to go back in time and buy them at $15? Yeah of course, but life doesn't afford us that luxury so I pay the price that they are today...

    Recent TAD Pick-Ups

    Random smattering of blends thrown onto an estate Pub Pipe order. Finally had the cajones to grab a block of Semois. Excited to try it.

    Peterson Spigot (non-System)?

    I've got an XL11 that never gurgles and a 999 that gurgles if you even look at it. To some degree it's probably luck of the draw and more so user error on my part. All that said the spigots are fantastic pipes. You can break them down whenever.

    McCranies

    You'll have to call them up and ask.

    Which Star Trek Character Would Prefer To Marry?

    Man I need to rewatch that episode apparently. I thought he was really not into it, for good reasons obviously Picard's not going to cause a diplomatic incident over a chick. But hey I'll take any excuse to rewatch TNG honestly.

    Which Star Trek Character Would Prefer To Marry?

    I really thought Picard was gay for a while after this episode.

    U.S. Navy's Small Ship Troubles

    Their biggest problem is in the name, they're littoral craft designed during the age of counter insurgency. For the military the age of COIN is over and it's moved towards peer-to-peer conflict and the LCS just weren't really designed with fighting the Russians or Chinese in mind. They're...

    ChatGPT

    I mean yeah.. The prompt was there's 25 megaton bomb in a city of 20m people and you have 1 minute to type in a racial slur to keep it from going off. Who thinks of that? It's a pretty complicated moral quandary for an AI to solve even if it's simple for us. My real issue with it is it's...

    One my Grandfather Brought Back from WW2.

    I'm more impressed with the girth than I am the length.

    Show Off Your Meerschaum Pipes Here!

    I kind of miss that new meerschaum taste. Can anyone recommend a chalk aromatic?
  18. Swiss Army Knife

    One my Grandfather Brought Back from WW2.

    I always loved the looks of these but sweet jesus must they be a pain in the ass to clean.

    Piper YouTubers

    I've always liked BremenPipeSmoker even if I don't necessarily agree with him on everything. Also fun to see glimpses into what pipe smoking is like in foreign markets.

    U.S. Navy's Small Ship Troubles

    This thread took a weird turn. I thought we were talking about boats. To keep it on rails: What was a bigger blunder the LCS program or the Zumwalt program?
