    What Muzak Instrument Do You Play While Piping ?

    Unfortunately I can't really smoke where I play, otherwise I certainly would give it a go.

    What's a Pipe That "Smokes Good"?

    There may be some logic/fact to this depending on circumstances. For example, I tend to find my straight pipes smoke better than my full bent pipes. Certainly there are exceptions but the straight billiards are what I reach for more often than not. One reason could be that at the price point...

    Farewell to American (U.S. brand) Sedans

    Warren, you are correct that the public doesn't want sedans. They just aren't selling. Personally I don't agree (With the public that is) but you can't survive building products most people don't want. I am just concerned that if fuel prices, and thus public desires, change American auto...

    Tight stem

    Graphite (pencil lead). Seriously just put a layer of pencil lead on the stem. You may be surprised the difference it makes.

    Farewell to American (U.S. brand) Sedans

    I think it's a shame American manufacturers are going away from sedans (short sighted too). In my opinion they are risking future stability on the bet that fuel will stay cheap. That's risky business on a volatile commodity as far as I can see. That risk seems compounded by the long period of...

    Suggestions?

    Now I was going to suggest GH&C Dark Flake Scented. I find something in it that reminds me of the smell of Copenhagen. It doesn't smell the same, but upon my first smell that is where my mind goes. Try both! ?

    Where Are My Sportsmen?

    That makes so much more sense. It's 12ga only here, no 22 or any other rifles allowed for turkey. Even with a tight choke things can get pretty shredded. I've never really understood it. We are allowed to shoot squirrels with 22 and I shoot half of those out of the trees. I've yet to shoot...

    Where Are My Sportsmen?

    That European mount turned out awesome. I'd like to try one of those as well. We are lucky to have lots of whitetail here in SE MN. Chronic wasting too... But that's another chapter of the story. I've always wanted to visit Alaska some day. Your pictures aren't helping lol.

    Where Are My Sportsmen?

    Last year. Less than a month to go until the season starts again.

    Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding Special Reserve

    I think it is definitely worth looking forward to. :sher:

    What Does Your Scene Look Like?

    Working through a cold, can't taste or smell anything so no smoke tonight. So my scene is have some drinks and playing Skyrim (been quite a while).

    FYI For My Fellow Scotch Lovers

    I certainly also agree that much of the barrel craze is just shenanigans (pistol whip anyone?). But I was quite surprised with the latest from Glenfiddich. I didn't realize they did a peated malt and the combination with rum casks is quite flavorful. I picked a bottle up on my pre tariff...

    FYI For My Fellow Scotch Lovers

    I think this explains the label change. Many makers are doing interesting things with different barrels. Others are just trying ride the coattails with clever marketing/rebranding.

    Fireplaces and Wood Burning Stoves

    That is one reason we went with our electric unit. The heat comes out from a forced heater on the top of the unit (an entertainment center). The "flames" are actually cold. It's water vapor mist backlit to look like fire. Quite convincing and 2yr old safe.

    FYI For My Fellow Scotch Lovers

    I have been in the AZ mountains for a week and spotted the tariff news on Forbes as I was catching up on the goings on in the world. After some quick Google Fu it seems that this is definitely going to happen Friday. I think this is just for US consumers.

    Fireplaces and Wood Burning Stoves

    Unfortunately a real wood stove wasn't in the cards for my living room which really needs the extra heat in the cold months. So I relax in front of this facsimile. It's an electric heater fireplace.

    What Do You Do For a Living?

    Awesome. Next time I'm up in the cities I will try to stop by. I checked out your website. I too have made custom pickups in the past. I used my 3D printer to make custom bobbins. My 4 string bass has a neat triple magnet per string arrangement. Do you do any active electronics?

    FYI For My Fellow Scotch Lovers

    If any of you enjoy a good dram of single malt like I do and I know some of you do (You have been recognized. Let's say by one of your opposite numbers...). If you haven't already stocked up now is the time. There will be a 25% tariff imposed on Scotch starting on Oct 18th. I'll be grabbing...

    Hunter's Pipes, Anyone Actually Smoke One?

    I assume you mean one of these?
