    Photo Albums

    Hey thanks! It seems to me it would be nice if there was a button somewhere that said "Albums" and when you clicked it a list of member's names would pop up. Click a member's name and their album would pop up. But then, what do I know? What do you think of starting a thread where guys could...

    Photo Albums

    I must be overlooking something. I thought I would take a look and see what some of you posted in your "album". Problem is, I can't figure out how to find them. Can someone explain please?

    An interesting video

    I found this on the web. It doesn't have anything to do with pipes but I thought some of you would like to see it. http://www.flixxy.com/200-countries-200-years-4-minutes.htm

    Whats up with "friends"

    I'm glad this was posted. I didn't understand the friends thing either. I have been honorer by several members requests and have accepted them all. I've been wondering what happens next.?

    My great grandfather was told by his DR. to give up his pipe in favor of Cigaret

    Not only has the medical field changed, but cigarettes have changed too. They have gone from being some tobacco wrapped in tissue paper to a cocktail of tobacco and over 500 different chemicals, still wrapped in tissue paper. They now contain everything from banana oil to concrete and most of...

    Frosty The Snowman Smoked a Corn Cob Pipe...

    It's a funny thing this thread should start the day after I noticed a plastic Frosty Snowman in a neighbor's yard, without a pipe... of course. My Christmas wish to all of you is; God save us everyone... from political correctness.

    little vid of new home made pipe

    Hey Buckeye! You're doing great and it does look like it's going to be a nice pipe. I don't know if you've finished it yet but if you're interested I would suggest a couple of things. First, definately don't cut off the plateau. It can look really great on a large freehand. Brush the...

    is there a defect with my new cob

    I'm certainly no expert on cobbs, but it would seem to me that a "flaw" like that would be part of the nature of what it's made of. If it doesn't look like the flaw goes through to the inside of the bowl I wouldn't worry about it. Happy smoking!

    Post Your Picture With a Pipe.

    What a person likes in pipe tobacco is a matter of personal taste and to each his own. All you Capt. Black smokers have my best wishes, however, I have to admit that the first and only time I tried it I thought it tasted terrible and was going to peal the hide off my tongue! You guys must be...

    Dunhill My Mixture 965 - Pipe Tobacco Reviews

    It's been so long I don't remember when I first tried 965, but it was probably in the 60s. I have always thought it an excellent English blend. It's simple to find out if you like a blend without trying to figure it out from reviews. Buy a can and smoke it...

    "Nachwalter", there's a name I haven't heard in quite a while. Last ones I saw were at Pipeworks in NYC years ago. He used to sure make some gorgeous pipes... I know, a little off the subject.

    Relights

    Relights are part of the game. 1Q is an aromatic and it naturally smokes a little wet. The kind of pipe you use can make a difference.

    just thinking about moister levels

    Whan a blend dries out the oils in the tobacco start to break down. The olds contain most of the flavor so you loose it... Whether it changes for better or worse is a matter of persoanl taste.
