    Question about Nomenclature

    I have a question for you more experienced pipe makers, which judging by the pictures, its most of you, ... what is the best way to add a nomenclature of some sorts to a pipe? in other words do you guys use a stamp? or a Dremel tool of sorts? I have neither so what would be my best course of action?

    Pipe Whacking

    @Hunter... no no no, you don't, well at least I don't, use the bottom of the sole... I use the side of my boot heel. @ Mr Cannoy... I fall in-between these two categories, since I'm a woodworker, I GREATLY appreciate the grain and finish of a pipe as well as the workmanship that goes into...

    Cigar smoker converting to pipe

    Welcome to the forums... and welcome to the world of Pipe Smoking. Thats a very good entry level pipe. I would say start with an English blend as you are a big cigar smoker... maybe something like EMP or 965, they, at least to me, are not as strong but are good starters. The biggest thing to...

    Bring Back Rule Number Nine

    This! This right here is the biggest issue we face. Im not going to get into a big political rant (see I can follow rules too) but this Us and Them mentality is what driving this country down the wrong path. We have forgotten how to stand together, regardless of differences. ohhh that was close...

    Pipe Whacking

    :oops: Yeah I tend to bang my pipes on whatever I find... I mean I won't do it on concrete or anything like that... but I do use the sole of my boots, the side mirror in the truck, etc.. My briar pipes I will bang, but I am careful... now my cob's, oh those poor bastards, I'll bang them just...

    Bring Back Rule Number Nine

    I agree with you, especially when you get very passive aggressive remarks... do they cross this vague line? and as you mentioned that threshold is different for everyone. You also talked about "thin" skin, this I believe is the biggest issue... people love to feel disrespected and attacked, they...

    Aromatic Christmas Blends

    Does anyone know if Jack aka Pipeinhand still frequents the forums... His blends, especially his Yule Pudding were fantastic... and this is coming from an almost 100% english smoker. In fact I believe I wrote up a review waaaaay back in late 2012 or hell maybe it was 2013... I don't know... but...

    Aromatic Christmas Blends

    Im not understanding the point of this... are you warning those that might have an allergy towards chocolate? ... also Im not familiar with either of these blends as I don't smoke Aro's. Are they cased with some sort of chocolate?
