    James Upshall Rhodesian (Older model)

    smoked a pipe...outside a store....in KEY WEST, fl.???? and you lived to tell about it?? for supposedly one of the most "liberal" cities in the u.s., i found key west to be a particularly smoking-unfriendly place, lol. good for you; looks like you were particularly relaxed and happy. i smoked...

    What is Happening to the Friendship and Friendly Discussions?

    personally i find myself here more often than several other sites and i suppose it's because it's neither over- or under-moderated. posters tend to be knowledgeable as well as civil. i have initiated few threads but the respondents have universally been helpful,polite, and tolerant of my...

    Tooth Pulled/ How long to wait before pipe?

    with due respect to the op and those who have replied, this is not the type of question i'd ask of people i don't know or have no skilled/professional knowledge on which to offer an answer? why didn't the op simply ask the dental surgeon/dentist who did the extraction??? sorry guys, but...

    Loose meerschaum stem

    i found the name of the company which sells tenon replacement parts. www.therightpipe.com the only ebay source that came up in my search was located in turkey and they sold only in larger quantities. i emphasize MY search; perhaps i missed other sources. just for info/reference. Fred's advice...

    Loose meerschaum stem

    more savvy pipesters may remember the name of a company, very closely associated with sms meerschaums, which sells the replacement pieces to solve the problem. for a long time, maybe even now, sms pipes used something other than the simple push/pull tenon; my guess is they experienced so many...

    Dodged a $500.00 Vet Bill

    we've put down two beloved cats in the last 6 months, and our dog is suffering from a form of degenerative myelopathy (a type of auto-immune nerve disease) which is slowly paralyzing him inch by inch, so we understand the pain, guilt fear and financial distress associated with dealing with sick...

    Meerschaum help

    $70 for a NEW strambach?? wow!! didn't check the dimensions of the pipe offered but from the pic it "looks" a bit on the smaller size. strambach enjoys an excellent reputation. i own a strambach gourd calabash and it smokes just fine. i also bought mine from that ebay seller (radicapipes.net)...

    My Calabash Has Ruined My Life

    my comments on the baki were focused on the price, not the unquestioned quality. tho it's impossible to compare precisely my baki gourd calabash with the one pictured, roughly speaking the newer bakis appear to be priced about ONE-THIRD higher than the one i purchased about 2 or less years...

    My Calabash Has Ruined My Life

    mars cigars had (may still have) the b-c calabash at a better price than p&c. there's an ebay /on-line retailer: www.radicapipes.net who sells genuine austrian-made gourd meerschaums (you will know the famous name...i can't remember it now) for very reasonable prices in three different sizes. i...

    Burleys

    well, i've recently tried macb's golden extra, london burley blend, and "mixture," all burley-based blends, as far as i can tell. wery impressed so far and no problems with the dreaded macb "bite," presumably because none of these blends contain a whole lot of virginia leaf. i enjoy PA as...

    Pipe smoking etiquette; NEIGHBORS

    i DISAGREE with any suggestion that you initiate any conversation which includes a reference to you pipe and be willing to compromise. suppose they state your smoking bothers them ( a lot of anti-smoking zealots or over-concerned parents might make that claim on general principle)...then what...

    Clay Tobacco Pipes = Need Your Opinions....etc,..

    i'm surprised that no one has mentioned the lepeltier(sp?) clay pipes. certainly non-traditional in looks. appears they have briar-sized bowls. but how do they smoke?? any experiences with them??

    Pancreatitis and pipes

    what a coincidence! read this thread two days after being released from the hospital after being diagnosed/treated for acute pancreatitis. ultasound tests ruled out gallstones (the drs' first guess) and my wife convinced them that i wasn't a chronic drinker (they didn't believe me!), their...

    Best Type of Tobacco Pouch to have ??

    prefer leather, roll-up style and a "box" design, which i find easier to load my pipe from the last one i bought was from 4noggins, but other sites (smokingpipes.com and mars) also have decent selections

    MATCHES!

    i reaaly prefer matches. my walmart carries two sizes of the diamond brand strike-on-box matches. i prefer the "large kitchen matches" at least for the initial charring light. the smaller size is adequate for relights. "strike anyhere" matches are apparently illegal in new jersey, but i found...
