    Baki Meerschaum

    Fred, of course you don't, nor need you, reveal prices paid and I had hoped you understood my post was meant to be offered in jest. jr/john

    Pipe Smoker Survey 2012 - SUMMARY REPORT

    Hmmm... most surprising to me, the % stating they are somewhere in the "liberal camp." My perception has always been that most smokers generally believe the anti-smoking rules, regs, laws, and attitudes spring more from the left/liberal political and social spectrum than from the conservative...

    Rodney King dead

    Jud, on the issue of whether it constitutes double jeopardy, you can have the last word, friend! jr/john

    Rodney King dead

    Hi, I understand the difference between a civil trial and a criminal trial, ala OJ. My point was that two officers were tried twice CRIMINALLY, one in CA state courts ( acquited), the second time in Federal courts, "guilty." It's not the first time it's happened; I just am sooo uncomfortable...

    Rodney King dead

    I apologize for my last post(rant). It was well off topic (Rodney King's death) and could be considered by some to be too political. Sorry if my views, which are sincere, offended anyone! jr/john

    Rodney King dead

    Listen, urinating on your enemies" bodies is not something I can support. But whether or not they were Al Qaeda or Taliban, what they certainly weren't were friendly, caring guys who spent weeks learning to fight under the stipulations of the Geneva Convention; nor were out and about...

    Baki Meerschaum

    Fred's collection can only be described as MAGNIFICENT; mouthwatering also comes to mind. A question...how many of your meerschaums actually get smoked regularly Fred? some look too beautiful to have seen frequent use. jr/john

    Do you think they'll take this sittin' down?

    [b]@ Winton, heck man it's so easy to use those hospital male urinals....IF you don't mind lying in urine soaked sheets til the nurse"s aide changes the bedding. One of my nurses told me it's best to check your dignity at the hospital's door when being admitted. This thread allows us to discuss...

    Rodney King dead

    Interesting Fact(?): his fiancee, the lady who found his body, apparently sat on the jury which ACQUITTED the LAPD officers accused of beating him. Can this possibly be true??? My recollection is the trial was moved out of LA proper and tried by an all white jury. Two of the four officers were...

    Do you think they'll take this sittin' down?

    Sure, laugh it off...scoff if you will. Just don't let Mike Bloomberg get hold of this idea or Gothamnites will have to urinate on command. And only less than 16 oz. at a shot! Has this public body gotten around to regulating sexual positions?? Hmmm, there's a thought for the Left to...

    Baki Meerschaum

    To be sure, my post was confusing in that I lumped Baki, the carver, together with ALL of the various carvers represented by IMP, SMS and Altinok. But my point remains the same: Baki advocates swear by him and gladly pay (generally ) higher prices for his work. Whether he rises to the...

    Sadly saying Goodbye to Humphrey

    Tears come to my eyes on reading your post. I still miss pets who have been gone 50 years. If you believe in the Rainbow Bridge, be consoled that you and Humphrey will someday be loving each other once again, this time never having to part. jrtaster/john

    Aromatics

    check out vermont pipe works aromatic selections (bulk only) on tobacco reviews; generally they get good reviews. they also offer nice sampler selections for a reasonable price. glad you're open to trying some aromatics. as a category they seem to get a bum rap from a lot of smokers. probably...

    Baki Meerschaum

    for classic shape pipes, baki, IMHO, isn't worth the extra money compared to altinook, imp or even sms pipes. they all offer pretty good meerschaum, well drilled, with quality construction. i own classic-shaped pipes from all four companies and am happy with all. YMMV, but i bet you'd feel the...

    Insomnia

    having tried both penzance AND sex, the choice is clear. gladly be without penzance, but God help me (and all of us) should the other stuff ever be out-of-stock! jr/john

    Where Cyndi's Been

    cyndi, my thoughts and prayers, and as you can read, those of this community are with you. are both these conditions auto-immune related??/ do they often occur together or is it rare that someone would suffer from both?? i hope your insurance allows you a choice of physicians! though...

    Pipe Smoker Survey 2012

    done...but as usual with such surveys, very uncomfortable that the arbitrary category segmentation and style of survey may obscure subtle but important nuances of our hobby. didn't see/take the last survey, but presume that also was similarly constructed to enable comparibility. sorry to be so...

    Do Pipe Snobs Really Exist?

    well, i think snobs definitely exist and if they do you're more likely to find them in a community like this. snobs almost by definition require a platform from which they can exhibit their superiority. as b&m's disappear, they can't lurk there; the internet is expanding and offers the perfect...

    Best place for bulk purchase

    as to price you may have to compare the various vendors item by item. for instance i have found mars will be lower compared to P&C on some items, but higher on others. as to service i may be wrong but i believe i have read here and elsewhere that P&C has made errors when fulfilling orders...
