    Your Favorite Smoker...

    Good smoker Banjo. Maybe not my favorite pipe, but this Bonaquisti is my best smoker.

    Any Wood Workers Here??

    Somewhere around 18 years ago after a divorce I figured it was off to the bar to meet my next ex-wife, or take up a hobby. I bought a table saw, jointer, thickness planer and a few other power tools. Since then I've built most of my furniture, built a log house of over 3,000 sqft. As I built the...

    How Old Were You?

    Tried my brothers pipe after he passed, I was 40, and I didn't stay with it. Picked it up again at 63. I am in less of a hurry and more mellow now, so it is something I enjoy.

    Work Break Pipe

    I picked up a pair of pipes that have a small bowl at an antique shop. Both have bowls smaller than my no. 2 Dunhill. Both are ideal for short smokes. If you check out local antique shops you might find a similar pipe.

    Can A Pipe Be Too Large?

    For my preferences, I prefer a size 4. I have pipes larger and smaller, but I don't enjoy the magnum size. The larger heavier pipes aren't comfortable for clenching, and I seem to be relighting often while smoking my largest pipes. For me a pipe can be to large. I'm also sure the Old Cajun will...

    Matched Set of Kaywoodies

    I just wondered if anyone else was wathcing this set of matched Kaywoodies. I am not the seller, or associated with the seller in any way. They are so beautiful, but I can tell they will go over my budget. I'm a cheapskate, what can I say...

    Butane Lighter Repair Question

    Most likely I won't bother to repair this lighter. The customer service phone numbers are worthless, and only tell you to follow the instructions on their web page. I have sent an email to Colibri, but I believe it will be money better spent to purchase a reliable lighter. Another lesson that...

    Butane Lighter Repair Question

    Good point, I have already bled off the air in the chamber. It still doesn't work properly. I'll try the customer service number. As this Colibri was purchased as "new, old stock" I doubt if the warrenty applies.
