Some Sales Are Not, Really All That
newbroom wrote: I can't dispute that, but at the same time, I'm not willing to pay the 40% tax rate those countries levy on their citizens to accomplish that. As far as the "sale", yeah, that's pretty lame. It would be better to advertise sales in terms of percent off. At 10% off I might buy a...- tuold

Tongue Coated With Nicotine?

Sit down reading pipe.
My old estate Wellington pipes are my favorite reading pipes. I see there are still pipes like those being made though I haven't tried one yet. Prices seem reasonable. You definitely want a large bowl and a long stem so you can let the pipe rest on your chest as you read. Anyway, take a look...- tuold

Show Off Your Dr. Grabow Pipes Here!
I got this Westbrook in fairly good condition. I'm finding that a lot of the original owners of these pipes didn't realize that the end of of the scoop is sometimes removeable for cleaning. It was 95% occluded and probably the reason the guy stopped smoking the pipe!- tuold

New budget pipe for me.
Threads like this are a major threat to my pocket book, even if the pipes are a bargain! I bought the poker shape 207 and eight ounces of Match Revelation tobacco which I've come to enjoy quite a bit recently. -
Your Five Favorite Film Directors
A lot of people mentioned Stanley Kubrick but not what I feel to be one of his best films, "Barry Lyndon". Spielberg is one of my favorites but I think "AI-Artificial Intelligence" was his best effort at directing. Milos Forman and "Amadeus" is one of my all time favorite movies.- tuold

Good or Bad Smoke, I Don't Get It!
I've have a smoke every once and while that is an utter transcendental experiance, just thirty or forty minutes of knock out taste and maybe a slight nicotine buzz augmented by glass of wine or scotch. The pipe and all the day's cares evaporate in a cloud of pleasure. If I have to deal with a... -
Medico Jet Stream Restoration
