    The (Un)Official Secret Santa 2017 Thread!

    I did it... I opened my Secret Santa present even though I was specifically told NOT to open the present until Christmas Day. But I'm moving, and will be homeless over Christmas. I'm also on heavy pain medications from having had five teeth extracted last week. So I did it. Many thanks...

    My unmanned drone should be on target before 8pm Eastern today... So advises USPS, so it will likely be re-routed through Chicago, Omaha, Albuquerque and Springfield (you pick the Springfield) arriving tomorrow. -- Pat

    Black Friday

    Why haven't you been elevated from "Preferred Member" to "Sage"? Also, Pylorns and I are of the same mind with regard to P&C's offering. As to SPC, hey, they're the market leader (at least in NA if not the world) and don't have to discount deeply to get your business. Why should they? Premium...

    The (Un)Official Secret Santa 2017 Thread!

    Gift received, replete with excoriating remarks written on the parcel detailing what will happen if opened prior to December 25th. I have removed the box to the safety of the pipe cave which is currently being dismantled in advance of our upcoming trans-global move. I will, in all likelihood...

    Rim Stain

    So if what you are seeing is the build up of smoke, tars and oil from repeat smoking then that should come off with some universal solvent and a little elbow grease. If what you are seeing is actually a burn then you're limited to removing material in order to get past the burn to sound wood...

    Charles Manson Dies Aged 83.

    Peterson "Makers Series" - Rant

    @BigPond - The announcement for these pipes was just the daily SPC email. Easy to overlook, for sure. I'm guessing it was handled this way due to the limited number of pipes in the release. As to quality issues. I'm just as happy with my Rosslare 80S and my 2017 Christmas 03 as I am any of my...

    Why Buy a New Pipe After Smoking Used Estate Pipes?

    Well we know that Chasingembers is speaking a little tongue-in-cheek because of his annual Bruce Weaver commission. As to the original question, I buy new pipes for lots of reasons. Here are a few: 1) I like the pipe maker and their work and hope that by buying a pipe or two, or four (Alden...

    What About Orange Osage?

    Yep. Conflating memories... the pipe was one of the early Jparker pipes. Ed just commented on it. Ah well. More coffee please. http://pipesmagazine.com/forums/topic/my-first-osage-orange-and-i-love-it -- Pat

    What About Orange Osage?

    No. I remember the mulberry... But I also distinctly remember an Osage Orange conversation.

    What About Orange Osage?

    Our dearly departed Ozark Southpaw ejames (miss you Ed) used to make the occasional pipe out of Osage Orange... my memory fades, but I thought the Old Cajun had one of his pipes in this wood. Bradley? You around? -- Pat
