    Losing Flavor Halfway Through the Bowl

    @PipeIT : Thank you. I shall inform the butler and have him re-instruct the footmen as to what is required when I pass them my pipe to re-light when it goes out. Do you really do all that yourself?

    Losing Flavor Halfway Through the Bowl

    Personally I find that, any time the pipe goes out, before relighting, simply inverting the bowl and maybe giving it the lightest of taps, removes only the top layer of light grey ash, and that does improve the smoke for me.

    Naming Patterns.

    Excellent rant, @cosmicfolklore. By the way, has anyone ever tried smoking one of those churchwarden acorn 'Hobbit' pipes?

    The Benefits of Having Children

    Maybe, but surely everything created by God wants to recreate itself in its own image, regardless of the divine order to go forth and multiply?

    ***What Are You Smoking, Nov. 2024?***

    This is in England (just). 10 miles from the Welsh border (I am a fan of many things Scottish, mind, which may have caused the misapprehension. Anyhow, geographical distances on this little island of ours I know are piddling compared with Canadian ones). The church, believe it or not, was built...

    The Benefits of Having Children

    I like children: often you can, through their eyes, see things afresh. They can refresh your mind and spirit, and cause you to re-experience the world. Especially when they ask you questions like: "What are rocks for?" or "Where does the poo go when I flush the toiilet?" or "Where was I before I...

    Do You Have Any Pipes You DON'T Smoke?

    All that Bavarian needs is a reed in the mouthpiece and some finger-holes in the stem and you could play it like a tiny squeaky saxophone :-)

    ***What Are You Smoking, Nov. 2024?***

    First snow this winter, a month earlier than expected. A quick half hour of Robert McConnell's Scottish Cake in a small Meerschaum prince, accompanied by a mug of tea with a splash of over-proof Navy rum to warm me up...

    An Ode to Samuel Gawith's '1792'—Apologies to Dr. Suess

    @elvishrunes - I have no idea yet. It's autobiographical :) And yes, it does have that effect, doesn't it - four hours later and you feel as if you've just smoked it...

    Balance Rating

    Well, I salute your intention, but I'm not your man for that sort of thing. However, there are, as I've said, people who are, and you'll find them, or they'll find you.

    What Is Your Favorite "Manly" Poem?

    Well, I've read through the entire thread now, and there's some fine stuff in there, several of which I might have duplicated by posting had I not seen them first. So - surprisingly - here's the first offering by Mr. Robert Burns: For A' That Is there for honest Poverty That hings his heid...

    Balance Rating

    Since I joined this group, I've discovered that there are many more ways of enjoying tobacco than simply packing a pipe and lighting up... some enjoy trying to doscover their personal Philosopher's Stone or Holy Grail through experimental blending; others get a huge kick from contemplating a...

    Do You Have Any Pipes You DON'T Smoke?

    The immediate reason I'm not smoking this and never have yet, is because it's with Mike Billington at Blakemar Briars, for a stem replacement, and that'll be for a few months now since Mike is semi-retired... but I did buy the pipe mainly to look at because I think the colouring gradations on...

    An Ode to Samuel Gawith's '1792'—Apologies to Dr. Suess

    An Ode To Mr. Samuel Gawith's 1972 Flake (Part the Second) (Sam I-Am continues, undeterred by Mr. B.) You do not like it - so you say - Just try again, and then you may. Sam, if you will let me be, I'll give it one more go - we'll see. (Mr. B. lights up again) Say! Beneath that...

    An Ode to Samuel Gawith's '1792'—Apologies to Dr. Suess

    I am Sam. I am Sam. Sam-I-Am. That Sam-I-Am! That Sam-I-Am! I loathe your weed, O Sam-I-Am! But would you like your pipe to cram, With Seventeen-Ninety-Two, my man? I would not like it, Sam-I-Am! I'm not an aromatics man. To tell the truth, I am not keen To smoke that stinky Tonkin-bean...

    ***What Are You Smoking, Nov. 2024?***

    Got too dark for a pic, smoking the 1792 outside for an hour and a half (a good half hour of that must have been relights - last night before bed, I rubbed it out and cut it up and left it to air-dry on a paper towel until this evening. I have never rubbed out a stickier flake in my life)...

    Home Tobacco-Craft

    Now might well be a very good time: during the CoVID-19 shutdown everyone was feeling apocalyptic and clamouring to get one, and now the novelty has worn off, a lot of folk have found it entails more work than they are able or willing to do, and are not renewing their tenancies. I'm a member of...

    UFO's & UAP's: Is the Truth Out There?

    That's quite an assumption, though.
