    Mso489 Came Back, But then?

    Beloved @mso489 left the forum for a while due to computer issues, then made a triumphant return to much fanfare (I think he bought a new tablet or something). He mentioned he wouldn't be posting as often, but I don't see him posting at all. Anybody know what's happening with him?

    Do English Blends Like Nightcap Ever Crest the Hill?

    But how much age is 'too much' ? That's the question. I think I'm still in a good spot, I should just buckle down and smoke them. What am I saving them for? Am i waiting for my technique to improve? My best pipe smoking experiences have always been with Nightcap.

    Do English Blends Like Nightcap Ever Crest the Hill?

    A very good read and perspective. I'm less worried they've turned to flavorless dust now, thanks for passing that along.

    First Attempt at a Meer Restoration

    Great job! You've managed to balance the removal of grime and muck, but kept the character of the pipe intact. I love the colour of that stem, and I think it suits that pipe wonderfully. I will have to agree and say that, at least to my eye, a shorter, thicker stem would match the bowl. Either...

    Do English Blends Like Nightcap Ever Crest the Hill?

    Re-arranging some of my pipe stuff to make room for some new arrivals, and I stumbled across 3 tins of Dunhill Nightcap. I remember reading on her that they tend to lose their punch and flavor after a few years. These tins look to have roughly 10 years of age on them. Are they in the sweet...

    Another "The Olympics Sure Are Changing" Datapoint

    Clickbait. From the article posted: His account, costing $10 a month for a subscription, says he posts “SFW (safe for work) content in Speedos, briefs, boxers.” A recent post from the Olympics got more than 1,400 likes.

    Meerschaum - Don't Touch?

    I can understand the mindset of the shop, but I would never 'severely reprimand' a customer over touching one. In any case, I've wondered how overblown the 'oils from your fingers' thing was, but I guess there is some truth to it.

    Oh no. I will not be posting pictures of this pipe sir! Although not particularly rare or scarce, it has the perfect balance of shape, stain, and stem that I've looked at for a few years.

    Thanks to all who have replied! I think I have my cart in order. All I have to do now is; a) hope no one snatches the pipe from under me, and b) time the delivery right so I will be in the hotel when it arrives.
