    The Special Tampers Always Get Away

    I learned early on not to carry a tamper in my pants pockets, as they tend to tunnel their way to freedom. So now, I tend to have an assortment of tampers sitting in both places that I usually smoke my pipe. Guess if I go lunting, I'll have to work something out.

    Oom Paul Roll Call

    I had one a couple of decades ago, but stopped smoking it when I could no longer finagle a pipe cleaner through it, and it plugged up totally. I'm guessing I never thought at the time to try working a piece of flexible wire through the stummel's airway to open it back up.

    Pipe Smell

    Smokeless Powder, or Black Powder (which is a "Low Explosive") ??

    Harbor Fright Pipe Brush

    Actually, most of the "free" things I get from Harbor Freight go into a box of goodies I periodically deliver to our elementary school, where they become part of a collection of things the students can pick an item from when they've earned a reward for good . . . what-have-you.

    Lady Kat

    A startling high proportion of the cats we've had over the decades were the ones who did the adopting. One of them just ran into the house when my wife opened the door to head out on an errand!

    What Are Your Largest Pipes.

    So, does this mean that the Dr Grabow "Big Pipe" doesn't fit into this category, and is only "big" in reference to the rest of the Dr Grabow lines of pipes?

    Help Me Coin a Term

    According to a couple of conversations I listened to years back, the Smurfs tend to live along the principles of modern-day druids. [edit: I HATE THIS NEW KEYBOARD]

    Help Me Coin a Term

    That word is as ubiquitous in some people's conversations as the word "Smurf" is when the little blue druids are speaking.

    What Are Your Largest Pipes.

    I've found that with my Wellington Giant, I have to do the packing of the very top of the bowl's load with more pressure than I do with any other pipe. When I don't do this, tamping down those first ashes after the charring light pushes the top of the tobacco load down about 1/2" into the bowl.

    Put Your Theoretical Science Hats on Please

    As I understand it, all it takes for water vapor of any temperature to be visible, is for the air it is released into to be colder than the water vapor. That's what we have when the ground hugging fractostratus clouds known as "fog" block our view. That's why one's breath shows up when exhaling...

    Put Your Theoretical Science Hats on Please

    Formic Acid, eh ? ? ? From what I understand, that's what's in a wasp's stinger when she jabs you with it.

    Cellaring: Pouches Versus Tins

    For a while, until they outgrew its capacity, I had an ammo-can full of pouches. They seal up pretty good, at least until the umpteen-thousandth opening which finally sees the gasket crumble.

    Help Me Coin a Term

    In the vein of the oldie: "Baloney Baffles Brains!" how about "Whiz-Bang Strangles Old Reliable." ? ? ? ? ?

    Who Has Goats?

    Now I'm curious how they are with eating bamboo. Perhaps renting a couple of them to exterminate the two over-large bamboo (and ever-expanding) patches that some previous owner of this place allowed to gain a foothold.

    Outside My Kitchen Window

    I've heard tell a couple of times that when the apples have been on the ground for a while, the deer that gather will sometimes eat enough of the fermented apples to actually behave drunken.

    Ran A Pretty Explosive Call Yesterday..

    No gas stoves in our house! When she was young, a doctor told my wife after testing her, that she wouldn't be able to smell a gas leak's tracer gas.

    So, Was The Pipe Tool Fake Or Not? The Past Week's Suspense Has Been Insane!

    Last year when I ordered some clay pipes, which were drop-shipped from Germany, they included a little bonus in the package. The note said it dated from the 1920s, and it might be a predecessor of the Czech tool. It appears to be an aluminum casting to make up the tamper part, but only had a...

    Need Recommendation: Leather Pipe Pouch

    Take a look at Mr Brog's tobacco pouches. Not necessarily entirely hand made. Got mine via Amazon. with shipping under $20.00, they also have zippered and snap-fastner ones.

    Natural vs Polished MM Cob

    The only difference between the natural and polished MM Cobs I've noticed is that the naturals' bowls can seem cooler to the touch when puffing away a bit fast.
