(un)Official Secret Santa 2015
Well here we are... four days out from Christmas and I have confirmations that all but one of the SS presents are en-route or landed. What about the one? Well that's my bad. In divvying you all up I left one poor soul hanging and missed him in the assignation of Secret Santas. Crud...- pruss

(un)Official Secret Santa 2015
Thanks for the kind words, Gloucesterman. It's a pleasure to help. Herding cats is a skill acquired after 20 years in the franchised food service business. I'm just happy that it's going of with only minor hitches! Speaking of hitches... I need another sound off. If you haven't received your...- pruss

Opinions on Mario Grandi pipe?
I have one, and it was definitely worth the $60 (plus shipping) I paid for it in an eBay buy. The briar is dry and light for the size of the pipe. The pipe takes a cleaner from button to bowl. The draw is fine, with no whistle. Now, the shaping isn't exactly symmetrical with a wobble in the... -
Replacing a Dunhill shape I traded away
Banjo, I've read that the Canadian Patent Dunhill pipes were actually made under license by Blatter & Blatter of Montreal. Here is a reference point for you: http://www.blatterpipes.com/history.htm An excerpt from the page... I've had good correspondence with Robert Blatter via the shop's... -
Peck's Secret Santa Gift - An Epic New Blend to Try
I dare you to send that pipe to George to have a new stem cut. The stem shank fitment is horrible. -- Pat- pruss

Peck's Secret Santa Gift - An Epic New Blend to Try
If memory serves, our friend (if I can still call him that) Peck does smoke Latakia blends and with increasing frequency in colder months. The absence of that pantywaister Harris has really helped Peck reengage his "man card". No. Seriously. Pairings were completely random. Really...- pruss

Peck's Secret Santa Gift - An Epic New Blend to Try
I'm just glad that Dan wasn't able to dig up a tin of "Reach Around Ready Rubbed"... I don't think the cover art would get past my office porn filters. -- Pat- pruss

A Question for my Albertan Friends
Drezz, I like Epicure Cigar and Pipe on 8th Ave. between 5th and 6th Streets SW. It's, mostly, central to downtown and walkable from many of the hotels. I stayed at the Fairmont and found it a pretty simple walk. They have a good selection of bulk and tins, and a good rotation of pipes...- pruss

Worried About General Mouth Problems
A predisposition would suggest that regardless of lifestyle choices you have increased risk. The only person who can help you identify whether or not you are predisposed to mouth cancer or any other worrying thing is your doctor, assuming you've provided accurate family history. As to whether...- pruss

You Have No Cellar, Nor Do I
Words confer meaning, and help others understand just what the hell we're talking about. This is one of the reasons which subcultures, like our pipe smoking clique, evolve their own terminology. I see no reason to change cellar to anything else... but if enough of our community agree with Nate...- pruss
