    Petes03's 4000th Post, A Look Back.

    Awesome Petes03. Truly a great art collection. My wife looks at my pathetic collection and says, "You could be a store for other people." If she only knew. Congrats on your 4000th post. I enjoy reading them.

    Pipe Smoking Success! Hope for the Newbies

    Now that you mention it, I also at times just stick my poker down the middle of the bowl if I feel I've gotten it a little too tight, and that has worked for me too. I try not to get it too tight but sometimes I just misjudge it and glad you don't necessarily have to repack. Glad things are...

    Day to day tastes

    I've been fighting the same thing. Not necessarily the bad taste problem. But, denying myself to opening another tin of something I haven't tried but really want to taste. I don't smoke that often, just couple times a week, and at that rate you can never finish a tin if you open up something...

    Those times you can't smoke...

    Nice pay raise, Youngster. Let's see now, that's equal to roughly 3 or 4 tins of FM Cellar per day.

    Turning 40

    Belated Happy Birthday Anthony! I always enjoy your posts. I remember when I turned 40. My wife had a big party for me with lots of friends, and the usual gag gifts; old folks' diapers, fake prescription for Viagris, stool softners, etc. It was fun. At 50 no party. Like Bradley said, no one was...

    Clenching And Switching Sides

    I'm left handed. Bat right handed. Bowl right handed. Golf right handed. Kick a ball right footed. Throw left handed. Eat left handed. Turn the pages of a book right handed. Usually have the pipe on left side of mouth when clenching, but move to right on occasion. I don't know what I am. I'm...

    The Italian Renaissance: PipeSmoke Magazine Archives

    Very cool article. I love reading the history behind the names, and would love to visit some of those places in Italy. Thanks for this article Kevin

    Clergy Pipe Smokers.

    Those ladies?(women)in the picture wouldn't have to worry about my lips ever getting within a couple hundred miles of theirs. Man, you can almost feel the venom coming out of their faces. :twisted:

    Those times you can't smoke...

    Hope you get well sooner than later, psyche. That is bad timing. Waiting for my TAD to come in. Hope I don't pick up something by being on this thread. That's the way Murphy seems to work :?

    Newbie Who Got Hooked

    Welcome Apatim. I'm 55 myself and didn't start pipes until spring of last year, having never been a tobacco user in any form before that. Yes, I'd say if you enjoy packing the bowl then you're definitely hooked. Everything I have learned about pipes and tobacco has been from the great bunch of...

    It Was A Bad Day

    My condolescences to you Redbeard. Yeah, work and people at work suck sometimes. But, I have to admit I have a great boss. Sorry to hear about your move back to graveyard. Here's hoping you get back to morning shift before too much time passes. And that really sucks about your pipe, since it was...

    Saddened to hear of this. I know she will be greatly missed. Peace and strength to Lyn and their family

    New TAD Order (or Disorder)

    Nice haul Natibo. There's hardly anything better than gazing upon beautiful tins of tobacco, except smoking them.

    Big Order!

    A twelve ounce tub of Walnut, a light-English American classic for around $28

    International Pipe Smoking Day!

    I'm sure at some point either the United Nations or the U.S. or some other world gov't body will drop this day as something to be remembered, the way things are going. Who knows, this might be the last year it's commemorated. I see the FDA has come out with their new ads against smoking, aimed...

    Blue Moon Vs. Sweet Water Blue?

    I've had the Blue Moon and enjoy it, but have not had the SWB. Blueberry huh? I'll have to give it a try. I've also had the MacBaren Mixture Flake. Pretty good as well, but mine was dryed out too much from a tin at my tobacconist that had been opened up by a customer at some point. They gave me...

    Can anyone tell me about my first pipe?

    Great looking pipe, by the way. Welcome to the forums. Possibly you can take another picture, or read off what it says. Is that the only side anything is written? Like scrapy said, usually someone here can readily identify it if the description is clearly known.

    The Piper at Work.

    I work for a furniture retailer in the office. It would be a great shock if I were to light up in the office. Also, of course, it's not allowed. I only started smoking pipes about 8 months ago, and only do it on my days off right now. So, I have no felt need to do it more often, at this time...
