    Neutralising a New Tobacco Pouch’s Smell - Any Ideas?

    Nice looking bag! Sounds like it needs some serious airing out. See if you can open it and turn it inside out the best you can. Place it in the sun for a good while on a nice sunny breezy day. Filling with dry coffee grounds for a few days sounds like a good idea I have an old mostly full...

    What About This?

    @rustiepyles hit the nail. I was going to say German, but Austrian sounds right. I'm guessing the funny taste in part, is from the old rubber stem. If your going to smoke from it, you should probably replace that with something modern.

    Hello

    Howdy! Welcome from Texas! I agree with @anotherbob, that stone pipe looks like an opium pipe to me. Probably not the pipe to take up the hobby with. The meer looks smokable. Have fun!

    Local Tobacco Shop

    Exactly If there was such a thing close to me, I would definitely buy from there.

    Is Pipe Smoking Fading Into History?

    I'm talking extreme times, if factory tobacco and pipes ever faded out of existence one day, there will always be someone out there whittling and carving a pipe and stuffing it with something to smoke.

    Is Pipe Smoking Fading Into History?

    Except us pipe smokers can grow our own leaf... like it was done at the dawn of smoke! I just think pipes will be around as long as man is around.

    Is Pipe Smoking Fading Into History?

    It's a good question, but I don't believe pipe smoking will fade into history. Isn't smoking from a pipe one of the very earliest, or the earliest form of smoking tobacco? As long as there's tobacco leaf, there will be pipe smokers. There may be fewer pipe smokers in the future, per capita...

    Tips for Best Deal on New Car?

    I used to sell Toyotas from 84-86. It's a different age today though. As others have mentioned, prices are high, and inventories are low. There is very little incentive for a dealer to give too much of a break. Not sure what you're trading in, but if it's a normal joe blow vehicle, I would...

    Starship Launch

    Ya, I think he wondered outside his area of expertise there. I think his billions have gone to his head. He figures anything he touches will turn to gold. SpaceX and Tesla are quite successful obviously. But I think his idea of colonizing Mars is ludicrous and misguided.

    Starship Launch

    I think that went well. SpaceX facilities are intact, no mass casualties and a nice explosion at the end!

    Starship Launch

    That was a wild launch! Good test!

    Plum pudding vs Bengal Slices

    My cellared stuff, around 7yrs aged, tastes nothing alike. I can't give any feedback on newer stuff, sorry.

    Travel Pipes

    Why not take them both? If your cob is leaking, send it back. I've owned a dozen MM cobs and never had a problem like you described.

    Unfulfilled Pipe Order (Walt Cannoy)

    Hmm, I dunno that PM has that kinda influence, but I'll be watching for it anyway!

    Telling my Parents I Started Smoking

    If you want to go into your parental discussion with some ammo... Pipe tobacco is not, in most cases, and should not be inhaled, so your not harming your lungs. You have shown no interest in drugs before, they should trust you to continue that. You've already shown that you know how to take...
