    Rusticated Brigham to Fix Excessive Fills.

    I knew they used to be Canadian made, that's what drew me to them in the first place. This one doesn't have the aluminum tenon however, it's a black plastic one. Or delrin or whatever they call it. Could it be an old stem that was repaired? This pipe suddenly got more interesting! How did...

    Rusticated Brigham to Fix Excessive Fills.

    Well those are certainly brass pins in the stem. Would that have been done at the factory? The briar is marked Italy.

    Thanks mso, I think so too.

    Got Almost Fried Yesterday.

    My goodness, man! We really have to talk about that unsmoked plug if this is how you're going to behave... But seriously, don't do that again.

    Pipes wth Dublin Chambers?

    This sounds like the right path, that Lumberman is a Savinelli off brand. Off to google! Be right back...

    Being a Codger is Hard

    Speaking of clothing... When I was much younger I used to be one of those Metal Snobs. Basically if you hadn't heard whatever ancient NWOBHM band I had chosen to embarrass you with, you were nothing. Less than nothing. If you didn't listen to Immortal or Mayhem or Carpathian Forest you were...

    Medico Varsity Bent Dublin.

    Thought I'd share my latest surrender to PAD. A Medico Varsity Dublin! Picked this up for less than $40 CAN. It's pretty alright. Smokes well and clenches nicely. I was wanting something for work that I could smoke on break and wouldn't be disappointed too much if it broke or got lost. This...

    Rusticated Brigham to Fix Excessive Fills.

    Well that's just it, isn't it? If the company would have kept me updated in that situation I would have waited and understood the delay. But to leave a guy hangin' in the breeze like that? Shameful. Reminds me of Joe Pesci in that Lethal Weapon flick when he complains about the drivethru.

    Hello from Wilmington North Carolina!

    Welcome, from Land of Oil and Honey; Alberta! Also know as Albertabama, The Texas of Canada, Where the Oil Burners Live, and That Place Trudy Hates. Or, as I like to call it, The Last Resting Place of Canadian Sanity. Hope you enjoy your time here and may your matches never burn your fingers!

    What Kind of Pipe Smoker are You?

    You know we could do a calender. Pipes magazine.com's Smokers in the Buff, sounds pretty good to me. I'd pose mostly nekkid for a calendar, if it was for a good cause, and our sponsors provided the tobacco! Hell, I am willing to pose mostly nekkid for a lot of things! So long as it's for...

    Why Press?

    Well sir, if you really don't want to smoke those pesky plugs...

    Pipes wth Dublin Chambers?

    So I'd like another of these tight Dublin chambers on my next pipe, sort of like the one on my Lumberman. Depth and diameter aren't really a concern, I'd prefer one that isn't huge. More important is the actual shape of the chamber. I can get my ring finger into my Lumberman about halfway...

    Why Press?

    I had never thought of that last bit about selling the stuff. I suppose measurements of rope or plug would be a good way to do that! I knew there was an anti-molding angle to it as well, but clarify something for me will you? When tobacco is pressed, does it come out bone dry or is it at...

    Why Press?

    The deeming? Is that what they call the totalitarian snoot-bags in Denmark? Here in Canuckistan we just call them the Liberal Party of Canada.

    Dan Tobacco Salty Dogs

    Well then I hope it ain't a roll of nickels!
  16. O

    Why Press?

    I thought I'd pose the question to the armchair experts and see what we turn up. Why do manufacturers press tobacco into plugs or flake cuts? When was the first occurence of tobacco being pressed and cut? What purpose did it serve then and now and how has this process changed, if at all...

    Is that a brick of Salty Dog in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?

    Matches vs. Lighters

    If that was for a vape you'd sure as hell see it in some scarf-wearing hipsters waist satchel!

    Fisherman: What's In Your Tackle Box?

    Nah, was just after spawn, so it was a hatchback!
