    Tamping And The Bottom Of The Bowl?

    Now I'm confused. I had gotten the impression that dottle is the remaining unburned (perhaps partly charred, perhaps soggy) tobacco left behind when the smoker lets the pipe go out at the end of a pipeful. Now, I'm wondering if dottle is instead the charred but not yet burned up layer between...

    End Table Pipe Stand

    Sounds like the mixture they cooked up in the novel (and later movie) No Time for Sergeants.

    I Started A “Kitchen Sink” Jar

    Make sure to shake up/roll the jar from time to time to help spread the deliciousness throughout the jar. It's interesting, the subtle changes to the taste that you discover each time you fill a bowl from these kinds of jar. I do one jar for Latakia-bearing blends, and and one jar labeled "The...

    A New Threat To My Cellar

    Somehow I'm reminded of how George Jetson would occasionally bitch about his three hour work week.

    TV Show with Pipe Smoker?

    I used to watch 77 Sunset Strip first run along with my grandfather. I especially remember since one of the years it was on, granddad turned 77 and we kids would chant the title song bit sometimes when referencing him that year. It was my other grandfather who smoked a pipe,though.

    Does Anyone Have A Copy Of This Booklet On Blending Your Own Pipe Tobacco From John Middleton; Pub 1937 ?

    Have you done a quick search on scribed.com ?

    TV Show with Pipe Smoker?

    Seems to me that several of the characters on Tugboat Annie (I believe starring Marjorie Main) [sp?] were often puffing on their pipes.

    Maryland Proposes Flavored Tobacco Ban

    Ought to counter-propose to these legislatures that since there is still a youth-drinking problem, they ought to include a ban on all flavored alcoholic beverages as well. Of course, I don't hold out hope that such a proposal would bring these politicians to their senses.

    Any Shakespeare Buffs?

    Also, many of the clichés we still use nowadays first appeared in Shakespeare's plays.

    Any Shakespeare Buffs?

    In High School, one class did a King Lear re-write into a scene cutting as a Western they titled Valley of the Hogs. Back in the late 1970s I got a theater pass from the USO to go see an all-male British touring company performance of As You Like It. I seem to have several different editions...

    Humor!

    A phrase you read once or twice in the novel Space Chantey by R. A. Lafferty: "We bend a point, we stretch a point, but you two are beyond the point entirely." immediately prior to bringing the hammer down decisively.

    Prince Albert Really Gone?

    A while back while listening to a Jazz radio station, I heard the DJ mention that one of the three pieces that had just been played was titled Prince Albert. Afraid I wasn't sure which of the pieces was that one, and they mentioned neither the composer nor the band on the recording.

    Humor!

    Had a shipmate once who would begin conversations with "What's your basic malfunction?"

    Prune Taste Tobacco

    Are you sure it isn't really a marketing ploy to increase sales to Klingons who smoke pipes? (re a recurring bit between Michael Dorn and Whoopie Goldberg, for non-Trekkers)

    Humor!

    When my family went to Oregon in 1967, we made a brief foray into Northern California. We stopped at a ocean-beach State Park for lunch. On the way into the parking lot, we saw an official green-and-white highway-department sign posted which read: "Hippies Permitted on Leash Only"

    Is My Falcon Blocked? Help!

    I keep on hand both a small and a large paper clip straightened out to use for clearing such clogs near the bit end of a stem. I also have a thin piece of metal coat hanger that's about twice as long, to use if the airway is large enough, or to use inside the stummel. I have found inside the...

    Help Me Think Of The Name Of This Object?

    A totem is/was originally to do with the semi-to-fully mythological ancestor of your tribe (or of your clan within the tribe). A lot of people nowadays say "totem" when they're really talking about a "mascot." Amulets, charms and talismans, while similar, are indeed different things.

    Interesting Experience- Questions for a True Veteran

    Just remember that the term as it relates to the atmosphere is "Relative Humidity." That means the colder the air, the less moisture (water vapor) it is able to carry, even at 100% RH. Also, one of the waste products of combustion is water vapor. I speculate that if the outside of the bowl...

    White Christmas?

    Thursday my yard was all white with the last few snowfalls, up here in Maine. This morning (Saturday) when I first looked outside, the yard is all green again, no snow in sight. That's-a some warm rain we had!
