    I Think My Billiard is Broken!

    Broken in! Just reflecting today about how much easier it is to keep a bowl lit and how the ember burns to the edge, leaving a nice layer of ash. I'm sure having a bit more experience helps too, but I notice the same issues with my new Bulldog as I was having with the Billiard when I first...

    Conspiracy Theory On SmokingPipes Sales

    I remember walking to a pawn shop with a camera and a ring and having a rough time of it until the clerk pointed out that I wasn't the first guy to walk in there with his exes stuff that day. And I wouldn't be the last. We had a chuckled about it and then if I remember correctly I got...

    How to Tell if a Briar Block is Ready for Carving?

    So I got a briar block, good size for a fair price. Do they boil the briar and age it at all before selling it? I'm not exactly ready to carve it yet so I'm wondering if I need to do anything to it. I picked it up at a decent lumber shop and it was advertised as "artisan briar for carving"...

    Conspiracy Theory On SmokingPipes Sales

    We're dating entirely different classes of women. All my exes made off with my hoodies, they wouldn't know what to do with ice in a drink.

    Hello Netherlands! Welcome from the other other Netherlands, and by that I mean ice-on-me-balls Canada. Hot bloody chocolate and Burley time eh?

    Smoking Cigarettes And Pipes

    I smoked cigs since I was twelve and I'm 35 now and just give it up last month. I'd always say oh I won't be one of those reformed smokers who bashes cigs after they've quit but... Well I'm the sort to bash cigs now. They're just awful anymore now that I've got a taste of what good tobacco...

    The (Un)Official Secret Santa 2020!

    Well I was planning to buy some tobacco from a fellow on the other side of the glacier, I mean country, so I suppose a successful transaction might encourage someone to come forward. We shall see, I won't be heartbroken if I don't get to join. Well, I will be but I promise I won't complain...

    The (Un)Official Secret Santa 2020!

    Well I'm out since I wasn't here in 2019! Just in case that's a copy paste from last year's rules I think I'm still out because I've only got 47 posts and I don't think I can make 75 in one day without spamming the board. Oh well, next year I suppose! You crazy kids enjoy your secret Santa...

    Reformed Cigarette Smoker

    Hello and welcome. Cheers on quitting the ciggies! I'm in the same boat so I know just how great it feels to cancel a bad habit.

    No Secret Santa This Year?

    I suppose I should chime in and say I'd be interested in participating instead of just taking swipes at Santa and Tinder. I know I have no reputation within the group but hey, you have to ask to play kickball before you can play on the team.

    All The Strong (Nic) Blends

    Loving all the kicked butts stories here! I kicked the butts with the pipe and it was a two day switch. Bought a pipe and some tobacco, smoked that, had a cigarette and it was awful. Had another ciggy the next day and it was even worse. I threw my last three cigs in the bin and haven't...

    New. But Not New?? Cheers from the Pacific Northwest

    Serial Bowls, And I Don't Mean Cheerios

    I like to finish a bowl when I sit down to smoke. I don't mind if it goes out and I decide to finish it later but then it always seems as if I'd rather just pack a fresh bowl anyhow. I'll still finish the half bowl, but at then end I always think huh, should have finished it the first go and...

    Tea And Pipes

    I second Yorkshire tea, but I'm told what I actually like is Yorkshire milk. Haha!

    Favorite Arms Manufacturer

    Oh, gun talk! While I'm not a handgun owner I will cast my vote for favorite firearms manufacturer as Pedersoli. They make a nice smoothbore...

    Good Morning!

    Thanks! It's a great little smoker. As for the tea, well let me put it this way; I can get three big cuppas out of one of those massive Yorkie bags so I'm probably making my tea just a touch weaker than some! Also I use condensed milk, so... I guess it is a cuppa milk.

    Newby Questions About Breaking In A New Pipe

    Well I meant more for after you've sussed all that out. To be honest, the preparation is quite simple by now. I don't fuss over the pack and I can usually keep a pipe lit with the tamper after that first light. Perhaps my cannabis use helped there as there is usually some prep involved with...
