    Stem Types and Clenching

    No. Acrylic is the toughest stem material in common use. My acrylic bits have all been clenched hundreds of times without a dent, so it's not the bit that's wrong, it's the bite.

    Name Your Weird Life Skill “Blind Spot”!

    I'm terrible at smalltalk and the whatever grease people apply to keep casual conversation going. I'm also bad at remembering schedules like my kids' violin sessions or handball training or whatever. There's more, but I'll feed it to you dripwise.

    The Danish Pipe Shop…thoughts?

    I had a very good experience with them about a week ago. I purchased some tobacco and was in a hurry to get it shipped to a friend, who was traveling to where I live, as I can't have it mailed here. As it happened, they had less in stock than what I ordered of one particular blend which of...

    Decadent Breakfast at High West Distillery

    I don't eat breakfast normally, but for that I would make an exception. Do their meals escalate in decadence through the day? Or have they just reversed it and have a bowl of cornflakes for supper?

    Nicotine and Addiction

    I think I am mildly addicted to smoking a pipe. I do it way more than any nicotine cravings warrant. Mostly I do it because I like it, not because I feel any need. In situations where I can't smoke, I just don't and it is not a problem. When I smoked cigarettes it was a very different...

    You People Have No Taste

    It's the time. Political correctness demands we keep a certain amount of weirdos and misfits.

    Weird Food

    Whale and dolphin meat probably seems weird or at least unusual to some, but it is common food here. Some may also think it weird to eat all the stuff that's left on an animal after the fancy cuts are gone. Like the head, heart, liver, testicles and so on, but for sheep at least, those are all...

    New Piper. Bitter, Ashy taste

    My advice is to open the bag wide and let it sit overnight like that. Then try smoking some of the dry bit from the top. Use the three pinch method to pack. You'll have to experiment anyway, because none of us do it excactly the same way and neither will you.

    New Piper. Bitter, Ashy taste

    Dry your tobacco, smoke it slowly, very slowly. Easy to say, less easy to do. I would argue that for many of us and certainly for cigarette smokers, the concept of smoking without inhaling, trying to grasp and savor the flavors more than the actual nic hit is very alien and the whole flavor...

    Ireland (with Some Misc. Pipe)

    Lovely. As for Roger Casement, it probably didn't help that he was homosexual. He is a true hero in my opinion, due to his role in the uncovering of the atrocities being done in Congo by the belgians under Leopold II. A guy from my little country, the Faroe Islands, piloted him up the Congo...

    Peterson with a Hole!

    That looks amateurish. Is the pipe new? I'd like to think that even the folks at Peterson's would know how to conceal their fills better than that.

    Nicotine Reactions

    I get hiccups from smoking sometimes. It can either be from nicotine ovordose, simply smoking too much for too long. In this case, having a full stomach is helpful. Or from the combination of nicotine and cold. In this case, a full stomach is not helpful. Many will recognize the scenario of...

    The Danish Pipe Shop…thoughts?

    No, but they'll sometimes throw in some candy, winegums or liquorice pipes, just for fun.

    The Danish Pipe Shop…thoughts?

    I buy from them almost exclusively. I have never had a bad experience. On the contrary, I find them to be knowledgeable, serious and eager to make the customer happy. Full rating from me.

    What is More Common for Stems?

    I had a tenon get stuck in the mortise on a Stanwell once. I got it out and glued it back in the stem and we've lived happily ever since.

    Top Five Concerts You Wish You'd Been At?

    I was at a music festival in 2000 where Willie Nelson played with his family. I didn't see their gig because I didn't care for country music in my grungy youth. I regret that. The year after I was at the same festival and just as Nick Cave and his Bad Seeds were about to start playing, I had to...
