Luxury Estates or Excellent New Pipes?
Those are both Christmas Editions of the same year that I was lucky enough to find as a pair! The band isn’t gold but an acrylic decorative insert ring. I consider these my Poor Man’s Matched Set. They are both BBB from the 1984 Holiday Season. I have the original box for one of them.- Grangerous

Luxury Estates or Excellent New Pipes?
Like BingBong, two of my best smokers are unidentifiable baskets. So as for smokability… no rules. Personally, I have grown a collection of 30 or so pipes of which 21 are Estates purchased ready-to-smoke from BlueRoomBriars. I wouldn’t be interested in deep cleaning and restoring an eBay or...- Grangerous

Tyson v. Paul
Tyson’s boxing style is amazing. I can’t get enough of watching him charge larger opponents and switching to southpaw at will. Any angle he has power. His footwork and defensive abilities are phenomenal and his power is still there. Body shots, upper cut, overhand. Tyson knows how to defend...- Grangerous

UFO's & UAP's: Is the Truth Out There?
We take for granted the exponential growth of technology. You’re holding it in your hand reading this. In all of the years man has been on this planet, we’ve gone from horses and carts to controlling a Rover on Mars in the span of a few generations. I find that remarkable. My great grandfather...- Grangerous

Filters; No Filters; and Resting
I water flush my pipes but I leave the stem in. Water flows through easily. Then a pipe cleaner to dry and a paper towel to the bowl and go ahead and smoke it if you wish. I suppose another downside of filters is the constant disassembly and risk of harm to mortise connection. Especially in...- Grangerous

Filters; No Filters; and Resting
Filters obstruct airflow and therefore create much of the moisture they collect. A filter will help keep bits of tobacco from traveling through the stem but aside from that I see no benefit to muting flavor.- Grangerous

Losing My Taste For Tobacco
I stop during extreme summer and winter months. The fall is the most desirable season for pipe enjoyment. When I first come back it takes a while. I’m sure others may agree that the more your smoke the better it tastes. I find that to be quite true. I also find pipe smoking to require a right...- Grangerous

Pegasus: Love for One Blend
Progress Report? I for one would like to know. It amazes me that the ratio is essentially..everything. If you can still find it, there’s a video floating of Matches860 enjoying some Pegasus. Eye opening in that John went to great lengths explaining the great depth of understanding that C&D...- Grangerous

Military Parade.
It’s because people are like crabs in a bucket and drag each other down. Instill a bit of governmental fear and neighbors will soon begin tell authorities on their neighbors. Women in subjugation are prisoners of their own children telling their oppressor of their activities. Soon…. a...- Grangerous

Military Parade.
Even in America’s Army, the medals on an Officer’s chest seem to grow exponentially, by the the square of the distance, that his duties take him farther away from the front lines. The Air Force addresses this problem by issuing every award achievable at the central issue faculty, as the...- Grangerous
