    The Best Soft Flame Lighter Brand and Model

    Not a single vote for an S.T. Dupont or Dunhill? Where are the gilded aristocrats?

    Honolulu Pipe Shop

    Hawaii has the strongest anti smoking laws in the US. It is illegal to smoke on your own lanai in HI. That's privately owned property, if you can fathom. Tobaccos of Hawaii used to have its premises over by the convention center. They were grandfathered and you could smoke there...

    Question on a reviewer: Eulenburg

    Always wondered the same thing. We have similar tastes and he has turned me on to quite a few tobaccos I wouldnt have tried otherwise.

    My New Antler Rack

    No. One may not. It is nifty, though.

    Lapsang Souchong Smokey Tea

    Rather enjoy it myself. Be careful...for us obsessive types, tea can become a whole new frontier.

    Clove Like Tobacco?

    McConnell's Rich Ripe Honeydew tasted like cloves to me.

    Cleaning an Oversmoked Meerschaum

    Lol. As I said, if I find jewels or gold, definitely sharing. You fellows are good eggs.

    Surly butcher was helpful. 79 grams or 2.79 oz, bowl only. I think I'm gonna bake this puppy when my wife isnt looking.

    Cleaning an Oversmoked Meerschaum

    Oh, bravo. Just a bravura performance. Snagstangl, so far you win. I like you better than metal head. You condensed more goofiness into that post than most would ever attempt. The very first post in the thread said it was a 1970’s era pipe, suggesting date wasn’t an issue. Of course...

    I have a surly butcher, but you're on. I'll weigh bowl alone. Are we betting diamonds, gold, or jewels?

    Cleaning an Oversmoked Meerschaum

    If that's the case, I'm definitely sharing their value with Workman and you, sir. To be Frank, what I got out of all this is the idea that this pipe just is naturally extremely heavy.

    Cleaning an Oversmoked Meerschaum

    I have to thank you guys for the free entertainment. My new favorite poster is that metal head fellow. You’re all right, man. I guess I should have said at the outset that I’d thoroughly cleaned the pipe, but I didn’t think you all would think I’d be the sort of fellow to stick something...

    Cleaning an Oversmoked Meerschaum

    And you must remain curious, unfortunately. I don’t have a postal scale. I will say it’s about double the weight of any briar I have ever had and about equal to an incredibly heavy prugnaud double walled French clay I’ve ever had. It sounds like it’s just a freak pipe. I wouldn’t hesitate to...

    Cleaning an Oversmoked Meerschaum

    Well, this has certainly been entertaining and I thank you all for it.

    Cleaning an Oversmoked Meerschaum

    Yes, that’s the pipe and yes, I did see your recommendation to boil it. WOrking up the courage to do so. Might be just the sort of batshit insane thing this pipe needs done to it.

    Cleaning an Oversmoked Meerschaum

    Grave? Why? Look, there is so much hearsay, wrong information, misconstrued traditions, and everything else involved in pipe collecting that nobody should ever feel anything about being wrong. I know you're joking and I'm giving a serious response, but if we all just admitted we could be wrong...
