New From New Zealand
Welcome aboard. What kinds of tobacco are you growing, and how are you processing it? If you’re ever looking for taste testers, I’d be more than happy to volunteer. I’m in Auckland, heading up to Paihia for the long weekend, but the family does love to explore. We only arrived in NZ in January...- pruss

Bull Dog or Bull Moose?
Ignoring the disgustingly beautiful grain, amazing finish, and typical Parks mastery of prepping a pipe and focusing solely on shaping... which is asking us to overlook a lot... this shape reminds me of an homage to the “Skater” shape popularized by brands like LHS in the mid 20th century.

New Pipe Commission - Progress Shot

Feeling Some Kind of Full in the Chest When Smoking Pipe
Are you inhaling the smoke into your lungs while smoking your pipe? If so, you’ll want to review your technique and work on sipping the smoke from the bowl into your mouth before exhaling or retrohaling the smoke and then expelling it from the mouth and nose. Tightness, or weight, in the lungs...- pruss

Aspiring Pipe Smoker from Downunder
Thanks brass monkey. As far as I can tell, and I’ve been reading a lot, there is no allowance given for gifts or personal exemptions beyond the 50g duty free allocation for inbound travellers. — Pat- pruss

Aspiring Pipe Smoker from Downunder
Lol - Between the Ministry of Primary Industries and Department of Conservation that “lettuce” would be sent straight to the incinerator for a “heat treatment”! Kiwis take the fact that they live on an island and have to manage the environment super seriously. Jokes aside, thanks buddy I truly...- pruss

The (Un)Official Secret Santa 2017 Thread!
From the frozen north woods of Ontario, Happy Christmas to all. Simon, I'm glad you cottoned on to the appropriate use of the "tamper". I know how to keep my New York lawyers inspired.

A Profound Disturbance in The Force
