    GMO Tobacco/No Nicotine

    Yes, some products are "raised" organically, yet they are inherently a modified GMO crop. Canola oil is modified rape seed oil, which was an industrial lubricant, unfit for human consumption. Supposedly, the modification of rape seed into "canola" (Canadian Oil I read in the past) made it...

    GMO Tobacco/No Nicotine

    It is difficult, but I too avoid most wheat and corn. Apples and potatoes I buy organic, and seasonally have my own to consume. Some of us actually ARE like that. While for some it may be dogma, for me it is not. I have spent time studying issues of particular concern to my well-being (such as...

    Not my Peterson, but this has one of the most beautiful grain presentations I've seen. I really, really pondered getting it just to hold it in hand and study it...

    GMO Tobacco/No Nicotine

    For the most part, GMO mods have been done so that the plant can tolerate being saturated by (cancer causing to humans) chemicals, and have it still survive. Even in the human genome, most of the code is considered "irrelevant", which in my world means that they don't properly understand it to...

    GMO Tobacco/No Nicotine

    Yes it is. But no I'm not. I read labels all the time.

    I was curious about it but went more than I was interested in spending at the moment in time - because I've got too many pipes right now...

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    I don't understand the appeal that drove this one to the price level it sold at. Is a 309 that rare? https://www.ebay.com/itm/404931594646

    Peterson 221 vs 230?

    I'd say the weight is inconsequential in this case.

    Peterson 221 vs 230?

    I don't have either of them but I'll pop up and say that they both look similarly great for clenching. I have loads of other bent Petes.

    I'll have to double-check and make sure that it's drilled off-center since that's what has to happen for all bent pipes...

    Well I hesitated at first when I came across it, but seeing that the rusticated ones had sold new at $250, I decided the pri$e was worth it for what I believe to be a beautiful specimen of a far more beautiful finish. Gently used.

    How to Maintain Adequate Taste.

    I'm fairly certain that for the longest time, I was attempting to relight when it truly wasn't "dead". It was just providing less voluminous and noticeable smoke, and I was using that as more of a gauge then I should have been - because I wasn't in touch with the subtle stream of smoke that is...
