    Great Yard Sale Deal

    There's a pipe on Etsy right now that has the same stamp on it except the stem is lightly stamped "Haiti". "Who Made That Pipe" says Whitehall made Red Dot, but I think yours is different.

    When You Tell Your Doctor You Smoke a Pipe...

    To elaborate on what npod said, if a medical provider uses an electronic medical records system that was subsidized by the federal government they are required to get certain information from you regarding tobacco use, sexual activity and other things you would never dream anybody would ever...

    Mr. Brog Corsair and Old Army Pipes

    I've got a couple Mr Brog pipes. I rate them just below the bargain Stanwell lines. If you were to give me a choice between one of the two brands at the same price I'd favor the Stanwells. I find them to be better designed and styled pipes. For instance, I have a Mr Brog briar poker that has a...

    I don't know what I'm tasting, but I like it.

    I admire people who can describe with detail things they taste in tobacco and also wines, for that matter. When a sommelier tells me he tastes "forest floor with notes of garden hose" I know just what he's talking about.

    Who knew Bach enjoyed a pipe?

    @sablebrush52 You refer, course, to the Coffee Cantata . It also has great lyrics such as, "If I don't have my three cups of coffee every day I'm like a dried up piece of roast goat" :rofl: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nifUBDgPhl4

    Cigars International Youtube Channel Terminated

    @dmcmtk The thronging masses demand it of Google so they are fine with it. I think there has been a swing towards totalitarian thought these days. I was recently confused by hearing some young people say that a government controlled Internet was a "free" Internet. Times have changed. Now...

    Meer Lined Briar

    While I think you would enjoy that pipe, $70 seems a little pricey.

    Movies with Pipe Smoking Characters

    There's a crime documentary on Netflix called, "The Staircase" in which the murder defendant is routinely seen smoking a pipe...the same pipe, throughout the series. I have to wonder if he might have a been a forum member at one time.

    Cracker Jacks

    My wife makes up a batch of carmel corn and peanuts every now and then. Tastes great and makes the kitchen smell really good.

    Estate pipes?

    I recommend reading Dave Whitney's book, OLD BRIAR - Pipe Smoking on a Budget. You can find it at Amazon.

    A previous thread with some enlightening comments: Who Made "Natural" Pipes Mine has the same "Lion At Rampage" mark but is stamped "Natural".

    Retirement Morale

    I announced my retirement two and half years ago but my manager talked me into staying on the payroll as a safety compliance consultant. So I've been going in twice a month wondering the hospital corridors with a clipboard and BSing with my former coworkers.It's been fun, but now it's time to...

    Anyone Really Like Falcons? Or Hate ‘Em?

    I like the concept but I find the straight stemmed Falcons a bit heavy and hard to balance while clenching without catapulting a bowl of ash in my face. I've got an old Dry Master Double Dry pipe that looks similar except it's made of Nylon instead of metal so it's very light.

    Flat Screen TV Sound Bar

    I bought a Yamaha ATS-1060-R Factory Recertified Refurbished Sound Bar with Bluetooth and Dual Built-in Subwoofers A couple of months ago. Very easy to setup. Just attach one cable into the TV and plug it in. My ancient ears have a much easier time picking up spoken dialog now since I'm getting...
