    Acrylic Stems vs Vulcanite Stems: A Comparison

    I MUCH prefer Vulcanite/Ebonite to Acrylic. More comfortable and no clicking clack. As far as maintenance...... A: I can keep Vulcanite looking good. B: I don't care if my stem turns brown.

    Bulk Tobacco Similar To Five Brothers?

    It's not the same as 5 Bros really, but C&D Pegusus is ALL Burley, sold in bulk for cheap, and is very tasty.

    Meerschaum Dilutes Flavor?

    Ive never noticed a diluted flavor with a Meer, but the first few smokes can taste "off". Some say it tastes soapy. But, I only smoke Latakia blends in Meerschaums. I used to smoke everything in them, but over time I just began only smoking Latakia in them. My thought has been that I like Lat...

    Birth year Dunhills?

    Dunhills are like any other pipe. Make sure the bowl isn't burned out, which means there are no burn holes that will continue to grow. Make sure the rim isn't to scorched or out of round. And if you are paying the going rate make sure the nomenclature is visible and that it has an original...

    Experiment with Nicotine Patches and Pipe Smoking

    Dang, I've got a dip in most of the day. I quit nicotene, caffine and alcohol nearly a decade ago. This last Spring I realized what a loser I was so I started back with the nicotene. With my lifestyle, nicotene is one of the more healthful things I do. :) Ever try to pull a chunk of barrbed wire...

    My 1st Falcon

    I love my one and only Falcon. Now for a very sad story that is very difficult to tell. At one time I had 13 Falcon pipe's and 30 or so bowls. I bought a few online, was gifted a few and found a couple at garage sales and junk shops. I gave a couple away...yada.. When we were moving into our...

    He's One of Us!

    Yes, very weird. And that describes my friends dad very well......weird. He was very excited....and very grossed out that I was going to smoke the pipes. And boy have I smoked them. They are great old pipes that had a rough start, but now get plenty of love. Unfortunately the plastic box they...

    He's One of Us!

    He aint got no tobacca in that pipe!! I have a pair of "Match Grain" Yorkshire pipes I got from a friend....one Billiard, one Apple. Both have pretty chewed up stems and dinged up wood, but the bowls were unsmoked. The story is from the original owner, my best buds dad. He started college in...

    Lost Package?

    Yep, I'm a veterinarian. A "lost package" can have a different meaning.

    Gold

    That's not what I mean.... I'm talking apocalyptic scenario. There will be no sales of houses, or any manufacturing. Think...The Walking Dead. And before you overlook this, it has happened on smaller scale MANY times...even recently. Like after a tsunami or earthquake on small islands or in 3rd...

    Gold

    Ive got some gold, but mostly silver that I've collected over the years. I do not do it for the reasons most do, I just like finding old gold and silver jewelry and such at garage sales and other places. When my mom died in 2021 she left us 3 kids a fancy ounce of gold she had acquired years ago...

    Birth year Dunhills?

    Sure thing. Marty is a good guy who will treat you right. And like I said, he often has Dunhills for WELL under $200. He will tell you exactly what's wrong with the pipe, and what's right with the pipe. And he will not sell you a worthless pipe. Even his $50 Dunhills will have SOME life in them.

    A Smoking Room

    I smoke outside by choice. I used to smoke pipe's and cigars inside, but really began disliking the smell.

    Birth year Dunhills?

    If you want a BY pipe and can find a Dunhill for a decent price, just do it. Unless it's a very rare and unsmoked model, the value will not move either way much. I see burned out hunks of crap with replacement stems selling for $200 plus all the time on ebay. A decent 1976 Dunhill will be a very...

    A Smoking Room

    Not my idea of a smoking room, but to each their own. I much prefer the library look, or in front of a fireplace in a wood paneled cabin....which is what I have, but don't smoke there, I'm an outside smoker.

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024

    I'm not going to get into the whole story again, most already know. I smoked cigars for years, then slowed WAY down in 2010 or so because I found the pipe. Anyways, I have a bunch of cigars I've had in my well cared for humidors for 15+ years....give or take. Some cigars age better than others...

    Your Most Peaceful Experience?

    I believe I take your experience for granted. This is my daily life.....quiet, nature, no traffic, no sounds....except nature. I go to cities occasionally for work, but cannot wait to get home to the boonies. Here is my current view in my back yard...it's not much....but that's the point. :)
