First PAD in Five Years….
I couldn’t pass on this one. Too much good with it. That Kriswell tomahawk that was passed in yesterday was a good buy too. It was hard not to pull the trigger on that old Rad that was posted a month ago. Don’t tell Harris that someone down here is selling one, or he’ll be on a plane...- pruss

The White Goddess and the Black Lord
I actually bought my meer for the purpose of being able to smoke Oriental heavy tobaccos without having them ghost my other pipes. Embers, your comment about Meer muting some flavours is interesting. I may have to acquire a new Meer to try it out. Oh darn… but it’s for science. ?- pruss

First PAD in Five Years….
I am so happy… Some of you know me. Those that do know that I have a fondness for older Britwood, and Bulldogs and Rhodesians, and that I’m okay at cleaning up a pipe. Not bad for $78 in NZD for a 1 Hope you’re all well my friends of the leaf and briar. — Pat- pruss

What is Your Worst Pipe Buying Mistake?
Some sage advice up above… for me, the biggest mistake is holding on to a pipe that I’m pissed off at. Get rid of that sucker, sell it on to some other schlepp and go get yourself another pipe (or two) that you like better. Life is too short for bad pipes. — Pat- pruss

Pipe Club in My Garage
One of the requirements for me in the purchase of our new home (taking possession on Wednesday) was the space in the garage for me to build my shop and smoking den. Heating won't be a problem as temps only really drop to below 0C once or twice a year here. That said, I'm pretty excited to...- pruss

Dirty Estate Pipes
I actually initially typed “bat shit crazy” when I first wrote the post. But I didn’t think the bat emoji would transfer and I remember the last time I saw her called out in public on this forum. What a shit storm that was. — Pat -

Dirty Estate Pipes
I use 99% Iso, as it’s highly evaporative and I don’t worry about the other 1%. For the pipes... I’m partial to single malt Scotch for the humour. — Pat -

PSA - We’ve Been Doing It All Wrong
By injecting the stem, physically, into the retro-nasal sinus Peterson has systematically avoided the novice pipe smoker’s inability to retro-hale. When asked for comment Peterson staff declined to comment and were only heard to mutter, “They just leave the factory like that sometimes.” — Pat -
Dirty Estate Pipes
I hear you, mate. At this point, as long as they aren’t photoshopping out fills or labelling every pipe as “straight grain” I am unlikely to take umbrage. But I totally get the frustration. -
Dirty Estate Pipes
That’s a poor response from the vendor. If he/she is even remotely interested in repeat business it would have cost nothing to say, “I’m really sorry to hear that. Thanks for your feedback. I’ll make sure I double check better in the future.” When I buy estates from eBay, I assume the worst and... -
