What is Appealing about Pipe Smoking?
Always enjoyed smoking cigars with friends. While they are more convenient to smoke, they are less convenient to store, and purchase ($$$). When I found out a pipe lasts forever and a $6 bag of SWR could be smoked a dozen times and stored indefinitely in a mason jar.... well, it was a...- sham

Favorite Accessories
Speaking of accessories, I noticed the zippo pipe insert is just a regular insert with a big hole on either end of the wick for the flame to travel. Being the smart man I am, I decided, "why buy one of these, when I can just drill through my regular zippo?" I tried and I failed, and now I...- sham

Ruminations on Inflation
Many land and home values have nearly doubled just in the past 2 years. I'm very fortunate that my grandfather, and his fathers, bought an abundance of land while they were working and growing their business. I would not get very far with the same aspirations. Beach lots that my grandfather...- sham

Seniors And Technology Get A Bad Rap
"You don't grow old until you stop learning something new." I like that philosophy. My wife would be a stipulation for millennials. Born in the generation that I would consider to be most proficient with modern tech, yet is utterly clueless with anything electronic (barring kitchen appliances...- sham

Seniors And Technology Get A Bad Rap
I tend to agree with the generalizations, with a few stipulations. I am actually of the opinion that my generation (millennials) is generally the most proficient with tech. There seems to be a trend where many of the older generations grew up learning tech in a cycle where things were too...- sham

Refinishing a Kaywoodie
Alright guys, I'm here with an update! @Briar Lee I couldn't find a shape number anywhere on the pipe :( I'm impressed by the absense of any rim or bowl charring, it almost seems unsmoked. A couple things I have questions about. If you see the last pic, the mouthpiece doesnt perfectly line up...- sham

Refinishing a Kaywoodie
Thanks for the input! I'll put a couple smokes into it for a few weeks before deciding if I want to refinish. I cant believe I got this for a bid price of $8.88, especially with how much praise I've seen for Kaywoodie on these boards.- sham

Pipe stem loose after every smoke
I just recently spent a weekend in a cabin on a WV river. Prepacked a bowl of opening night and threw my lighter and pipe in a ziplock bag to go out kayaking. Had a great smoke while floating down the river. Eventually I found some white water so I zipped the pipe up and braced myself. To no...- sham

From PAD to TAD. Tobacco Suggestions for a Beginner?
thanks for this link! I'm new as well and would like stock something that is pleasant smelling for others sake. Looks like the top 3 that people buy are Lane 1Q, Lane BCA, and C&D Autumn Evening. Does anyone have any reason why I may want to try one of these over the others? I also notice that...- sham
