    Zippo Replacement Parts Help

    Looking to replace some missing parts from my Zippo. I'm going to give it another try with the Zippo. I think I need a new wick, flints, and the 'metal grate cover thing'. The flints and wick i should be able to get online, but can anyone point out where I can get that grate / cover piece...

    I Can't Watch Anything.

    Sounds a lot like ADD to me actually. That's too bad what some of you have said about books. I'm currently reading Robinson Crusoe, and while I love it, the style that it's written in would be publishing suicide today. Everything is described to the smallest detail that it just wouldn't hold...

    Lighting a pipe is like building a fire, lighting a cigar is like lighting a firelog.

    My First Briar Pipe— Two, Actually.

    Looks like a good clean-up project. I've also used coffee grounds as a good way to soak up ghosts from estates.

    Savinelli Saint Nicholas 2024 🎅🏼

    While it doesn't seem like a Christmas pipe to me, I do like the look of the 316 with this stem.

    You always have something to learn, especially with pipe smoking.

    Didn't Worry About Packing and Guess What?

    I had a nice cool smoke. I've heard lots of different advice on packing your bowl - probably the same advice we have all heard - pack loose, tamp down, pack again, the Three Handshake style, all of that. Well today I threw all of that out the window, and just scooped up some Half and Half with...

    Americans: Do You Not Have 'Normal' Coins Anymore?

    Haven't had a dollar bill in my hand for ages. Trust me, you see how silly a one dollar bill is when you're used to carrying the odd coin.

    Americans: Do You Not Have 'Normal' Coins Anymore?

    Not saying I was bothered, just found it really bizarre to get so many different quarters. I've also noticed that the penny has changed. No more Lincoln Monument? When did this happen?
