    Hello from Pennsylvania :)

    Pipe Club Lancaster PA

    Yo TIM - whether we are out on the porch or in the basement depends on the weather (good forecast) and folks attitude about whether they want to be outside. Usually the club opts to be out if the temps are at least in the 50s and not windy. hp les

    Pipe Club Lancaster PA

    Yo Bri - some members of the Lehigh Valley Pipe Club in Bethlehem come from Delaware, Chester County and Lebanon. The drive is good for a Group 5 bowl. hp les

    The Popsicle Stick Trick

    Yo geo - your rationale is very well thought out - not overthinking at all. You mention that each end of each stick is good for up to 4 uses. Do you think a purist would dedicate the popsicle sticks, at least for aromatics vs non? hp les

    Hello from Pocono Mountains

    Yo Bry Welcome from Chester County. Are you within striking range of Bethlehem? That's where the Lehigh Valley PC meets, and several members come down the mountain. hp les

    New Presbyterian Flake?

    Cool beans. One way to work through the apparent FDA ban on new pipe tobacco products is to take existing recipes and process them differently, such as pressing, roping or plugging them. The FDA restrictions are formulas and compositions. Of course, who knows how much stretch there is in...

    Removing Carbon Buildup on Rim

    Picking up on the suggestion of coffee, it's surprising how well tea cleans, especially oily based dirts. And tea won't stain light colored substrates as much as coffee does. I would guess the tea oils and enzymes help with the cleaning power. hp les

    Love That Brand

    Back to the OP, for houses that process their own leaf (as opposed to mixing together purchased raw materials), the casings they use at the very beginning with their source Virginias and burleys tend to be standardized for the house. Casings could be maple syrup/sugar, anise, molasses or simply...

    Nording Question - Pics Included for jpmcwjr

    Yo Fur - that off center bowl is so far off that I think it was deliberate. A feature then, as opposed to a bug. To my eye, it gives a pleasant asymmetry.

    Pipe club?

    Yo Cos - just an update re: " is another - The Sacramento Pipe Collectors' Assembly (or SPCA) is the pipe club for Sacramento, California. The SPCA is a very informal group, and we meet twice a month, on the third Thursday of the month, at 6:00 p.m., and on the last Sunday, at 1:00 p.m. We...

    Zippo Butane Pipe Inserts

    I ordered a Z-Plus soft flame butane pipe lighter insert from P&C a few years ago and have been very pleased with it. An advantage it has over the Thunderbird is the transparent fuel cell, so you can see how much fuel is left. Curiously, even Walmart appears to carry it - Robot or human? -...

    Newby News - The Conundrum

    Yo Old - situation is similar to a pipe show, or pipe club meeting. Start the day with lighter blends, amping up as you go. TR is a great resource to figure out the sequence. And Biotene is your friend if you overdo. hp les

    PipesandCigars.com Discount Code

    Yo jr - I didn't read the fine print, but a lot of discount codes, including P&C, exclude certain brands. Patargas and Dunhill (in the old days) spring to mind. hp les
