Oh No!
Best wishes for a speedy recovery! I'm glad they figured it out in time. Once the thing ruptures, things can get pretty serious in a hurry!- musicman

Getting Consistently Good Experiences With FVF
I have never had a bad smoke with SJF, but that's also because I figured out the best way to prepare FVF before I even had a chance to try SJF. I think good preparation of either results in one of the best smokes in their respective genres, and is well worth the effort. I have plenty of VaPers...- musicman

7th And Final Pipe in the Alaska Pipe Set (Alaska Native Themed)
Wow! What a pipe, and a fantastic addition to round out your collection, which is wonderfully varied and stunningly artistic. Well done! I think my favorite of the 7 is the Piersel, but they are all works of art. -
Got Almost Fried Yesterday.
This is the correct answer. I do a lot of electrical repairs around the house, but I always ALWAYS check any line I'm about to touch with a voltage tester. Don't mess around with electricity. That shit can mess you up in an instant, and seemingly without warning.- musicman

Getting Consistently Good Experiences With FVF
I usually completely rub it out, and then let it dry just this side of crispy, at least 4-5 hrs, sometimes overnight in my usually very dry climate (Sonoran desert). If I want it and I haven't planned ahead, fully rubbing it out, nuking it for 17 seconds in the microwave, and then letting it...- musicman

A Pipe Smoker's Vices
Let's see: Tobacco (pipes and cigars...never cigs), beer, wine, whisky (not usually all at the same time), good rich food, and occasional use of a certain other organic material that is smoked out of a pipe.- musicman

It Never Fails....
Lolol! Figures. This is the one I’ve been waiting for ever since I introduced myself to Fillmore a couple of months ago. Another 125.00 gone from the bank account. But at least I’ll have some great tobacco to keep me company while I wallow in poverty. ?- musicman

Saying Goodbye to My Best Friend of 13 Years
So sorry to hear this, Brian. We've been through it twice, and it doesn't get any easier. I think Dogs are one of natures miracles, and their undying faithfulness and love has made my life much much richer. Thinking of you today.- musicman

GLP Triple Play vs Savinelli Doblone d’Oro
RO Firestorm Watch City 558 C and D Bluegrass Hal O the Wynd Viprati These aren’t the same as the previously mentioned blends, but they are all VaPerDFK blends, so they’re headed in that direction.- musicman

GLP Triple Play vs Savinelli Doblone d’Oro
Doblone is a very tasty smoke, but I find I have to be very careful about it burning hot or else it gets flavorless and bitey. In fact, I'm having a bowl of it right now and as long as I keep sipping it tastes just like that fabulous tin note, but the moment I puff looking for more of that...- musicman

Pipe Number 5 in the Alaska Pipe Set (Wood Themed)
Beautiful pipe, and classic as well! A fine addition to the previous 4! Let's see, we've got Mammoth, Oil, Gold, Wild Game, and Wood themed pipes so far. Really curious to see what the last two themes are! Maybe fish, salmon specifically? And rock or ice to represent the amazing glaciated... -
Rum Topped Blend Recommendations....
Lol! Fwiw, I found it to be different from Haddo’s. The clearest evidence I have for this is that I just tried both for the first time in the past couple of months. The Windjammer has become a rotation regular whereas I haven’t even had a second bowl of the Haddo’s ( I’ll get around to trying...- musicman

My favorite Rum topped blends: Salty Dogs Gl Pease Windjammer Gl Pease Sextant Black Frigate G and H Rum Flake @alaskanpiper mentioned Festivus Pudding. I love the stuff, but it's a Christmas release from Ken Byron Ventures and it'll be impossible to find most of the year. All the blends I...- musicman

College Smoking
God, ain't that the truth. I feel like grad school is the very definition of a Pyrrhic Victory. I won (got the degree) but a small part of me was destroyed in the process. I always liked a fellow students description of doctoral oral exams: "So, basically, your committee will spend three...- musicman

Do You Ever Add a Pinch of Something to a Blend?
I haven't yet experimented with adding just a pinch of something to a blend, although once I get around to buying some blending Perique I will probably do so, but I do enjoy 50/50 mixtures of a few blends. A personal fav is 50 percent Dark Bird's Eye and 50 percent Ready Rubbed or another cube...- musicman

Sour Taste
This right here. When I was just starting out in the hobby, one of my two pipes (A Peterson Aran) went sour. Nothing tasted good in it. It turned out to be the mortise, which was filthy with residue. I had always run a pipe cleaner through it without really scrubbing the inner walls, and that...- musicman
