    Good Straight Out Of The Box

    I haven't had many pipes that don't smoke well right out of the box but my Ser Jacopo Pictas have been especially fantastic right out of the box. I can always count on Ser Jacopo to deliver what I want. I have also had a couple of Don Carlos that were great right out of the box and just went...

    What Do You Smoke??

    I quit cigarettes 30 years ago. Went to pipes when my father-in-law died and left me all his pipes and a boat load of Amphora Red because I was the only smoker in the family. I've smoked a lot of marijuana in my life but quit that about 20 years ago. Since then I've only smoked pipes daily...

    California Online Ordering

    The same thing happened when gay marriage was on the ballot in Ca. Yes meant no and No meant yes and that's how it didn't pass the first time.

    Anyone Test Their Taste Buds to Understand Their Smoking Preferences?

    It's all pretty interesting. For years I've said that taste and smell play a bigger role in our lives than we think. We concentrate on the visual and audio much more than taste and smell and I believe that what and how you taste and smell plays a big role in daily life. Interestingly enough...

    Good Health News

    There is nothing as surprising and pleasant as hearing about good health on a smoking forum. Cheers to you!

    Do You Smoke Outside Your Home/Yard?

    I don't like the gunk and stink that smoke leaves on everything when smoking inside. I used to smoke inside only when I lived in an apartment with no outdoor space and ended up having to paint the walls every couple of years due to sticky, smelly crap all over them. I try to keep it outside...

    This Could Explain Why Some Bent Pipes are "Mysteriously Bad" Smokers

    This must be the reason my bent pipes get used less and why cobs smoke so well. Along with my Kirsten and Falcons. There is no place for gunk to hide and maintenance is easy.

    Freddy Krueger Carving Pipe

    That is pretty darn good! I'm not a Freddy Kreuger fan but I've always admired the ability to create something like that.

    Pipe Smoking And ?

    This reminds me that I don't smoke while I'm not smoking. I used to but it confused the hell out of me.....?

    Pipe Smoking And ?

    I didn't know there were so many writers here. I enjoy smoking and thinking. It does make me slow down. I also enjoy watching...... people, birds, boats, art, the rain. Listening to music is also something that pipe smoking enhances. Pipe smoking is what I do when I'm not doing much.

    RIP Charlie Watts

    Mick Jagger once said in an interview that the Stones will keep playing till Charlie Watts doesn't want to anymore. I guess that cancels any future Stones concerts.

    RIP Charlie Watts

    Wow..... He was the quiet backbone of the Stones. The real leader. According to Keith Richards autobiography, they all turned to Charlie when they were in doubt about how to end a song or if the lyrics were strong enough. He also had one huge jazz record collection. He will definitely be missed.

    You Can Do Anything You Set Your Mind To: No

    I have nothing against any member or anyone that thinks differently than me. Much respect to Ashdigger and if those thoughts float his boat, hooray. I welcome different thoughts and I welcome people challenging my position on anything. I would have said the same thing if we were together...

    You Can Do Anything You Set Your Mind To: No

    If I read this ^ right.........It's the most BS I've read on this forum since becoming a member. Many people take these contrite, immature, bumper sticker statements and start talking about how they succeeded so if you don't succeed, you must be lazy or something more horrible. If that were...

    Self Haircut

    I haven't met a barber that left me thinking, "that was worth it". I've always felt like someone played a prank on me after I've left a barber shop. Quite a few years ago I decided to stop going to barbers and putting up with all the phony friendly talk and watching other people get massacred...

    What Hobbies Have You Fallen Out Of?

    You have to back up what you say....... "You still do" doesn't cut it. Anyone without skills or knowledge or a big ego can click around on a computer and make perfume out of dog poop photos. Most people shoot crap photos because they don't care enough about the photos. But if you want or care...

    Favourite Female Singers

    Anita O'Day is #1 for me. There are a lot of favorites but the one's that come to mind are, Ella Fitzgerald Blossom Dearie Amy Winehouse Diana Krall Karrin Allison Aretha Franklin Lila Downs and Cyrille Aimee.... with a pretty good saxophonist. ;)

    What Hobbies Have You Fallen Out Of?

    I've given up on a few collections. Buying, selling, trading saxophones, clarinets, revolvers, pistols, folding knives, ties, suits, fedoras.... yes, I said fedoras ?☹️. Not sure if I would call them hobbies. I just get enough of those things and don't see a good reason to get more. Unless...
