    FS: Carter Hall

    4k/per month, according to the listing, so about 48k/yr. Roughly the salary of the average American.

    Help With PFAD Needed!

    Also, asking us all for help is a little like going to the local pub and asking for tips on drinking less. :LOL:

    Help With PFAD Needed!

    I know what you mean. This is a conversation that has happened more than once in our house: My wife: "You spend a lot of time on that pipe forum." Me: "Yes, and...?

    Looking for a Laid Back Virginia Blend

    A third for OGS, and I'll throw in Amphora Virginia Blend for being a good, simple, no nonsense Va blend.

    Do You Drive for Tobacco

    I do 95 percent of my purchasing online. There are no B and M stores in Tucson that are worth visiting. They’re either all cigars or all vape/ecigs. Any time I drive through Phoenix I do like to stop at Stag to pick up a few tins, but that’s 100 miles one way so I can’t really justify driving...

    Memory Goes First..

    Here? On these forums? Never! We always stay right on topic and we're all VERY focused...Is that a squirrel over there? :LOL:

    Pipe with Smaller Bowl?

    You're probably looking for something smaller than .75" across, and shorter than 1.5". As others have said, MM makes a number of cobs that would fit the bill. The 5th Ave Diplomat has exactly the bowl dimensions I suggest above. Other ideas would be not smoking the whole bowl, but saving...

    Memory Goes First..

    Also, this thread is just plain weird. We've got two conversations going on at once, one a political argument, and the other concerning the end of the known universe. On the other hand, maybe both topics have more in common than we might think.

    I do the same thing, only with the governor of our fair state. ?

    When You Like Presbyterian Mixture But You’re Not Reformed

    I used to live there. Ok, maybe not, but every small town in Minnesota is a little bit Lake Wobegon. And I actually did perform on Prairie Home Companion back in college!

    When You Like Presbyterian Mixture But You’re Not Reformed

    Just to obfuscate a little more, I should point out that while the “reformed” label is indeed because of the reformation, not all mainline Protestants refer to themselves as “reformed”. The reformed tradition grew out of the teachings of the “other” great reformer, John Calvin, so generally...

    How Much Do You Smoke?

    Anywhere from 1 to 5 bowls a day, but usually 2-3. I'd recommend getting at least one more pipe, to allow your briar to rest. MM Cobs are a great, and economical, solution to this problem. However, with 1-2 bowls a day, as long as you let the briar cool in between and give it a good...

    Cars

    First car: 1996 BMW 318i purchased used in 2001. It was pretty slow for a BMW but cornered like it was on rails. The e36 BMW series was one of the best handling cars ever produced. Since then: 1999 Saab 9-3 5 door that was killed by a hailstorm in 2006. 2002 Volvo S60 2002 Saab 9-3...

    Preferred Pipe Shape

    I have 25ish pipes, briar, cobs and a meerschaum, and 10 of the 25 are either straight or bent billiards or from that family of shapes (1 lovat and 1 Canadian), so apparently I like the billiard shape. I've collected these over the past 18 months or so, generally by buying estates that appeal...

    What's for Breakfast?

    I have fruit with whole milk yogurt almost every day for breakfast, along with a big cup of coffee. For the first 39 years of my life, I rarely ate breakfast, and most of the time, I slept as long as I possibly could, usually grabbing a granola bar or something similar as I jetted out the...

    The Flake Haul

    Interesting report. I found Bengal Slices and PP to be pretty similar blends. If you’re looking for a sweet flake, Orlik Golden Slices, MacBaren Navy Flake, and MacBaren mixture flake might fit the bill.

    Hello from Düsseldorf Germany

    Welcome from sunny Tucson, AZ in the USA! My younger brother spent a year in his teens going to Gymnasium in Wesel, just north of you. I visited him for a week during that year, and I love that area!

    Windjammer In A Brand New Vauen Pipe

    Nice review! I tried this for the first time last night and it’s a really tasty blend. I also think it will age wonderfully.

    Morgan Bones Pipes

    These are good pipes and priced very well. The finishing is about what you’d expect for 40-50 bucks but they seem to be more consistent than many other pipes in that price bracket. Chris has done a good job marketing these and creating some hype around them. I have two. One, a fully bent...
