The Doodler
I wouldn't know to smoke it or dial it :D Yes, I've collected a few of them, though not as fancy looking as that one! Very nice. -

Selecting Pipes, Mostly Keep It Simple
I like a nice open draw as well, but I don't enjoy sucking tobacco particles or ash into my mouth either =) There are times after a few smokes when I look at the condenser/stinger on my Kaywoodies I'm glad that at least that much tar and gunk didn't get past the stem. Same when I clean out the... -
Show US Your Giants!
This "G" Men pipe is my largest straight billiard. It's almost seven inches long and just under three inches tall. I'd sure like to know who made this thing. I've only seen one other on the Internet. The only other stampings are "imported briar" and shape number on the shank, "90". That's a...- tuold

I Want to be a Tinderbox guy, but......
I think Tom must be right about the Washington State taxes. The Tinderbox.com prices are expensive but not that expensive.- tuold

How Do You Deal With Heat Waves?
We've had two weeks of 90 to 105 degree weather here in Portland, Oregon. Our solution for one of those weeks was to take off for the coast. We had a great time. This past week we've been hunkered down in our basement family room where the it stays comfortable year round. We even slept down...- tuold

Has Marriott Banned Pipes Magazine?
Not surprised. This site is blocked where I work. I can't access it on either the in-house network or the public network. The in-house network delivers a message that I've attempted to access a forbidden site and that the IT department has been notified. I don't complain about it, though it...- tuold

Twin Flow Pipe
Interesting investigation, snagstangl! Looking at that list.... Red Dot, Hialeha, Darby and as far as I can tell, all the pipes on there were made by Whitehall. I don't know anything about the Whitehall company, but I thought they bought their pipes from other makers and distributed them under... -

Twin Flow Pipe
oldmansmoking opined: That's excellent advice if you are only going to have one metal pipe. I like my Falcons too. They make some really beautiful ones and they smoke just fine. If you are a collector of metal pipes though you are going to have Vikings, Airogrates, Aero-Kools and Kirstens. They... -
Twin Flow Pipe
mso489, the "Twin Flow" comes from the two holes on the sides of the mouthpiece. Otherwise, there is is just one airway through the stem. I don't think these pipes are related to Dr Grabow pipes because the way the bowl attaches to the pan is different. I saw a post on the Grabow forums that... -
Our Changing Times (It's not just tobacco)
There used to be a thing called "entertainment". Personally, I've found it very difficult these days to find a movie, comic book or even an opera that hasn't been twisted into a serious social commentary piece and emptied of any entertainment value.- tuold

Nording Harmony
Writing and playing music is a hobby of mine so when I saw Nording's Harmony line of oddly decorated pipes my interest was piqued. I finally decided on this one. I think I'll enjoy it. Does anyone else have a Harmony? The designs are kind of "out there" so I wouldn't think they would be very... -
Tsuge Saga
Here's my Ichirin and "hafu bento sando". They are budget pipes but are excellent smokers. The Ichirin is particularly useful for smoking those fine bits of tobacco left at the bottom of the jar. -

You got me got inspired to fire up my Tsuge Ichirin. I'll be ordering more Tsuge pipes in the future. Pretty sure of that. -
Moratorium On Brains
I don't think there is a perfect energy source yet, or even on the drawing boards. I'm inclined to let market forces decide the best course. So far the market prefers a petroleum based economy. It delivers cheap energy to the widest segments of society but with a somewhat high environmental...- tuold

They Like to Lecture
@warren, well said! Healthcare is a commodity, a set of services and products that with the help of doctor, you choose based on your preferences. At least that's the way it should be. My choices should in no way be burden to anyone else. Yet, that's the way things are going. The more we go...- tuold

The Tale of Frosty the Ghost
Yeah, that stuff took my breath away. However, as a ghost I don't find it all that bad under the right circumstances. It can add a mint flavor to something plain like PS Turkish or PS Cube Cut that is interesting. I'd definitely keep it confined to one pipe.- tuold
