    Bowl vs Shank Material

    If the shank material with respect to the bowl material made a huge difference, then a Canadian or Lumberman would have a significant taste differential with a churchwarden. In my experience, there isn't a huge difference.

    Plastic Pipes

    My girlfriend bought me a plastic pipe from Amazon. It sits in a very special place in my rack, and as far as she knows, it's too nice to smoke... Just get a bag of Missouri Meerchaum cobs. Or just get one. Plastic pipes are for sticking in Frosty the Snowman's mouth. They are not for...

    Does Tobacco Smell Or Taste Better In Cooler Weather?

    I have no idea why but... I smoke year around in my house and outside in Alaska. Recently, I went on vacation to Mexico. I just couldn't get into my pipe down there. I could only smoke outside there, where it was mostly 80F. Regardless of the temp outside here (-30 to +70F) I seem to enjoy my...

    PS LBF

    I'm sitting on 48 Oz. (two boxes) of LBF. I smoked one bowl out of the box and it was great. Now 8 months into cellaring. Thinking about 2 years before I crack open the rest (can't wait).

    Hearth and Home

    Hearth and Home is the house brand of PipesandCigars, which is in turn owned by Cigars International. CI does have a retail store, and although I've never been there, it appears that they sell pipes and pipe tobacco as well...

    RO Series Acadian Gold - RussO hits another winner

    Just opened my first tin on New Years Eve... I see the crystals obviously, but there's some larger white spots... mold? Safe to smoke?

    You Know You Have Too Much Tobacco When...

    1. When a month has gone by since a 7.0 earthquake, and you still haven't opened the tin cupboards out of fear of causing a calamity. (checked the jar cupboards of course) 2. When you have Tin cupboards, jar cupboards, and tub cupboards.

    Sasquatch Hits The Ball Out Of The Park!

    Well Sir: It smokes drier than any pipe I've ever smoked (admittedly I've only had one bowl with it). So I guess you're doing it right.

    Sasquatch Hits The Ball Out Of The Park!

    Curious, is there such a thing as a "reverse" chuck... Something that holds the briar from the already drilled bowl- inside? I wonder if something like that would allow to get deeper down the stummel with the lathe. Obviously you could only get down as far as the shank. I tried a pipe kit...

    Sasquatch Hits The Ball Out Of The Park!

    First bowl through. Used Ten Russians because it's the coolest burning blend I have. Smokes beautifully. Perfectly dry, with a nice open draw. One thing interesting, is that with a tapered pipe cleaner, the last half inch at the button is the tightest part of the draw. From what I...

    Sasquatch Hits The Ball Out Of The Park!

    Pun intended: I asked Todd to make this for me a few months ago. I said I wanted a 1/4 bent ball, I wanted it big, I wanted a cumberland diamond stem, and I wanted a light color. I told him that I didn't care about blemishes in the briar- there's a tiny spot that he offered to hide with a...

    Doomsday Pipe

    Naw, she's just happy I was able to pick her up tonight... Her work was evacuated, and she didn't have a car. I picked her up and took her home. She's wrapped around my finger right now--- even if I'm drinking her booze lol!

    Doomsday Pipe

    ^^^ The above post was pithy and arrogant on my part. I apologize for that. While I am a Network Engineer for an ISP, it is not "my" internet. I am proud that "our" internet has stayed intact for the most part. It is intact at least enough not to need my attention tonight, and I am tying...

    I literally run the internet in my area. If i have power, and either the undersea fiber is intact or the satellites have synch, I have internet.

    Doomsday Pipe

    Good thing I'm a Rambo wannabe... I had my BOB ready in my car today.. and it's a good thing. Took me 5 hours to get 30 miles from work to my house with half the highway disintegrated. We had a strong earthquake today, and I was lucky to get home this afternoon. Those who waited are still...
