    Show Your Kaywoodie and Get Another One Free!

    Congrats to papipeguy! Yes, this has been a good experience for me as well. I found a few more Kaywoodies in my pipe pile during this thread, including a nice four panel Super Grain. I really need to get organized and catalog these pipes.

    The Best of Times

    Nice! You picked the perfect day for it too.

    Pipe Smoking Bliss

    I have a facebook account and I still can't access that page. You know FB is great for keeping in touch with friends and family as long as you are aware people only post the good stuff. It can be a bit shocking to see pictures of a friend's wedding when last you heard he was happily married to...

    And I Raised My Mighty Staff....

    Well done, indeed. It is cheap entertainment and good stress relief. Then you get a great pipe out of it too!

    Show Your Kaywoodie and Get Another One Free!

    I have few Kaywoodies. Here are some I rounded up for a family photo. They would be very pleased to welcome a new brother!

    Nicotine Overdose

    Just smoke slower and be mindful of the symptoms. If you start to feel the least bit dizzy or shaky, it's time to stop. Get up and get something to eat as others have suggested. I almost never get a nic hit from Balkan blends, but do sometimes get one from Virgina/Periques if I puff too fast.

    Tsuge! Pipe and Tobacco

    It looks heavier than it actually is! Only weighs in at one ounce. I'm thinking of getting the version with the slide up wind screen next.

    Tsuge! Pipe and Tobacco

    I have some Tsuge tins in my cellar but I've yet tried one. Soon. This Tsuge tankard just arrived. It's my third Tsuge pipe and I've been enjoying it as much as the others.

    What's Under That Grabow!!!!

    Yeah, there is no competing with Dave, but here is one I cleaned up and have been pleased with since. It's a cruddy Starfire I picked up for less than ten bucks. It was covered with years of dirt and mold. I had to rebuild the spade. I'm not claiming any master skills, but I'm happy with the...

    Possible FIX for Photobucket MESS

    I installed the Chrome browser extension and it works great. So thanks, nevadablue, for that information! I've switched to Imgur, but I really missed a lot of the old photos forum members have added through the years using Photobucket.

    Decent Online Retailers in the Western States?

    I've ordered from Payless Cigars & Pipes in Boulder, Colorado and have been pleased with them. Delivery time is half the time it takes from the East Coast stores using UPS Ground.

    Cable TV

    I ditched cable TV long ago. Between broadcast TV, Netflix, library acquired Blu-rays and streaming stuff from my PC we have plenty to watch.

    BitCoin Mining

    Computer video card manufacturers are turning to bit coin mining to make up for the sagging PC gaming market. I found out about this last month when I started shopping for a replacement video card. Retailer shelves have been emptied because of this bit coin rush. It seems the added computer...

    Show off Your Linkman's Pipes Here

    Dave, here's your 8474 pipe's not as handsome brother! It's stamped 8487. While it could use a boost in the grain department, it's still a fairly classy pipe. Found it at my local antique shop for eight bucks.

    BBC Blows One

    It's the copy editors who catch these types of errors and they were the first to be cut when the Internet started undermining the news business. I imagine very few news agencies these days employ copy editors. Reporters are more valued for their Web, photo and video editing skills than having a...

    Ozark - Netflix - No Spoilers

    This was recommended to me tonight by a friend who knows I enjoyed Breaking Bad. I'll start watching it soon.

    Finis

    Just a little disappointed you didn't end with your trademark tag line! The story made up for it. Looking forward to your new additions.

    Grabow Zulu Before and After

    Absolutely gorgeous. Usually when people say something looks better than the day it left the factory it's mere hyperbole. This time it's 100% true! Incidentally, I've got pretty much the same pipe here that I use for a travel pipe. The problem is, I can't get the stem off. It turns both...

    Question For Retirees

    I actually smoke less than when I was working because now I don't have to cram my recreation time between work and other responsibilities. the pipes are always there whenever I feel like a special moment. In fact, right now seems like a good time.
