Wide Mouth Shallow Bowls. Good For?
I have a couple that I tend to favor for Lat & Oriental blends, particularly GLP fare such as Key Largo or Westminster. Neal Archer Roan has a good primer on the subject here.- romeowood

Troves of Unsmoked Aged Pipes
A couple boxes of hundreds of stummels is a lot easier to misplace than a couple hundred (or even a couple) Pontiacs, for one. :lol: -

This might help. :puffy: Just take your time, you'll get there.- romeowood

Nat Sherman - 127 Wayfarer - Tobacco Review
Bringing along virgin cobs is a habit when leaving the house now, at least when I'm reviewing. Precisely for situations like these. I recommend it as the easiest way to evangelize! And don't be scared off by the Perique-bomb--it's surprisingly manageable. ---- And it seems this crowd-sourcing...- romeowood

2015 New York Pipe Show Report from Romeowood
Errata to report: I misspelled Hank Saatchi's name, and had the wrong information regarding Amorelli pipes. Hank and Simone are now the U.S. representatives of Amorelli pipes. I will now turn in my roving reporter's card :oops:- romeowood

PH in mouth & tobac flavor
@smokertruck - medications can certainly have a profound effect on your palate. In fact, anything that changes your overall body chemistry--vitamins, a meal, or, conversely, long periods between meals, for example. The blends you note being able to taste clearly--Ernimore and BLB--while not...- romeowood

2015 New York Pipe Show Report from Romeowood
Yes, Les, there was some pixel enhancement--Kevin trying to salvage my amateur snapshots :oops: I really need to take a photography class.... Also, you are no longer allowed to enter any pipe shows, dinners, events, or festivals until I have been there at least thirty minutes or my money runs...- romeowood

Broken Pipe - Paolo Becker
As I spend a great deal of time with my head in the sand, at least in regard to world events, I've only just heard of Paolo's passing. To say I'm saddened is understatement. My first Becker was an enlightening experience; here was a work of art from his hands to mine, a study in engineering and...- romeowood

Holiday Gifts for the Pipe Smoker / Collector
@peteguy - the ones pictured are from Bey-Berk International, but many other varieties and makers can easily be found on the interwebs. I use the folding one to travel and the orange one at home, and I wouldn't trade them for the world! It's my favorite gift of the bunch.- romeowood

New Box Pass Thread
Just stopped in to thank Dan, and all of you participating, for turning this squeaky-wheeled red wagon of a box pass into a well-oiled locomotive. Everyone, pat yourselves on the back. :clap: My take on shipping is that the USPS flat rate equalizes things and, very importantly, limits the size...- romeowood

Pipe Smokers of New York
Thanks for the invite, I'll avail myself of it. The vibe at Nat's can come off a bit snooty, for sure--not just that their target clientele are stuffy Wall Street types, but with their location on 42nd they have to deflect a lot of annoying tourist gobs in that tiny floorspace in order to keep...- romeowood
