    Would You Roll the Dice?

    There’s nothing like accelerating your PAD with the Meth-like energy rush you get from sniping in the dying seconds of an eBay auction. Just be damned sure that you want to pay what you’ll end up paying if you win. There have been some colossal cock-ups with pipe prices over the years when two...

    Buying Pipes on Auction for Immediate Resale?

    The most I ever got around to working at one time was a collection of about sixty pipes... I really like doing assembly line work on up to about seven or eight pipes. Doing all sixty turned it from a hobby into work. Add to the fact that I was on a deadline trying to complete the cleanup and...

    Best Smoke at Reasonable Price?

    The inclusion of "reasonable" in the question around price means that you're going to get a bunch of subjective responses. Because what's "reasonable" to me might not be to you. For instance, I think Cohibas and Trinis are well worth the price variance that separates them from Partagas, RYJ...

    Hi I'm New and Have a Question

    Everyone knows that the hair loss and impotency comes from routinely smoking down to a fine white ash. Welcome aboard, sir. -- Pat

    Question About ''Semi Aromatics'

    Definitely a YMMV scenario... On the Lakelands, I find that I have to wring them out before I dry them out... and if I don't then my pipe becomes a swamp. But bring on the 1792 Flake! -- Pat

    Thoughts on Giant Pipes

    I'm about to switch to my summer diet which is almost exclusively biltong (think Jerky, but dryer). That should help. -- Pat

    Thoughts on Giant Pipes

    Yeah, it works to 2.6oz or something close. It's a little heavier when loaded. Still a bit much for me to clench for the whole smoke. It's an armchair smoker for sure. -- Pat

    Thoughts on Giant Pipes

    This stonker weighs in at 76g empty, which for its size is pretty handy. It is definitely not my heaviest pipe, and I can clench it for short periods. — Pat
