    Sorry, I didn't know. I wasn't here. I surmise from no available evidence that having the world's only source of briar in 1946 coupled with being soaked in water for an unspecified amount of time is what makes the Pipes by Lee the best pipe ever made ever, unlike those cheap dunhill pipes...

    Welcome back. Apparently everyone is rinsing their pipes out with water now. Wait until they find out The Pipe can go in the dishwasher!

    Difficult to express. The topics become repetitive. Fads come and go. But basically, as much as I do truly love my pipes and my tobacco, they're not a driving force in my life. I like my Dunhills as much as my Stonehavens. I'm not driven to collect the newest carver nor hoard pounds of my...

    A Match or a Lighter?

    Ah. It's been unobtainable for years in the USA.

    This thread contains an epic amount of entertaining horse feathers.

    A Match or a Lighter?

    Where do you find the RB Plug? I'd love to find some. Best tobacco ever made. Oh, and I use matches almost exclusively, although an old dupont ligne 2 with pipe flame rides in my pocket for when I just can't.

    Tingling in the nose

    I'm a naturally fast puffer, too, sir. You'll receive a lot of advice on how to slow down, but you'll find your way through the avoidance of tongue bite and mouth irritation. Sounds like you don't suffer from bite so you're ahead of the game!

    Tingling in the nose

    Making sure I understand the question. It seems as if you're blowing every puff out through your nose and wondering why your throat and nose are tingling? If that's the case (and frankly even if it's not and you just blow a few puffs out of your nose), some mucosal and sinal irritation is...

    Where Is Our Ettrick puffer?

    If he's a Scottish gamekeeper, the Glorious Twelfth is today. Takes a bit of preparation, too, you know.

    "Look, Mac, we just make 'em and people like them." That's part of the charm!

    Stocking Up on Bulk Tobacco

    Stokkebyes Luxury Series. Very high quality, relatively low cost. No offense meant to anyone who likes Admiral's Choice by any means, but if you like Virginia tobacco, I doubt they'd fit your taste. Sablebrush made some good C & D suggestions, too.

    Bizarre Discovery of the Day

    You know, that's information those of us who bought the stainless steel puck should have thought of before buying. Today, I discovered further evidence that I am an idiot.
