    Theology and Pipe Smoking ...

    He has an interesting variation on the pipe retort using vinegar and baking soda. Mix ingredients in the bowl, cover with your thumb and shake. (keep pointed away from clothing and friends)

    Three Antique Mall Pipes

    Very nice work on the Starfire. I've got a couple of 'em I enjoy regularly.

    Pipe-picking Score: Three Kaywoodies

    You know, looking at some of the bite marks on estates I'd swear some of those old pipe smokers were vampires.

    Pipe's Not Dead

    I haven't seen a Portland hipster with a pipe yet.(or anyone else for that matter) It's a shame. A pipe would go really well with those pork pie hats.

    Help Identify My Pipe

    The only thing I've been able to dredge up that may be useful as a lead is that VDT pipes were made by Woolf, M.A. & Co in England and/or Ireland in the 19th and 20th centuries. That comes from an article called, "The Briar Trade-makers, manufacturers, and brands that time forgot" in a...

    Reducing Risks of Pipe and Cigar Smoking

    There are a lot undefined variables worth considering. Some of the studies I've looked at involved pipe smokers using cigarette tobacco in their pipes which should be eliminated from the aggregation of statistics of pipe smokers. Obviously the risk is not zero. The way I look at it is that I...

    What's in Your Pocket?

    Right now I've got a model 60 Taurus .38 cal revolver in my pocket, but I think I rather have one of those beautiful knives!

    Burglarized tonight

    It makes me physically sick to hear this happened to you. It must have been a neighbor or acquaintance. I dread something like this might happen to me. I've got the serial numbers and pictures of my firearms backed up on the cloud in case they are stolen. It could happen to anybody so I hope...

    Truly "Reliable" That You Can Always Count On????

    Just finished a bowl of PS Balkan Supreme while the sun went down. It's always been a very consistently pleasant smoke for me indoors or out.

    Very cool pipe - How much would you offer?

    If I had that kind of disposable income I would certainly consider it. I think the seller is using a "skimming" marketing approach where you at first target the least price sensitive buyers then reduce your price via the "make offer"button or eventually lower your selling price. He has nothing...

    I Need Prayers...My German Shepherd has Parvo.

    With you caring for her she's got the best chances of beating this. I've got a good feeling that she'll be fine. Our dog, Boris, scared us quite a bit earlier this week when he got "sudden onset ataxia" out of nowhere. He couldn't stand and wouldn't eat. The two vets we took him to were...

    My First New Pipe Since 1982

    mattia76, I'm coming up a hundred pipes most of which have been estate purchases on ebay. I've got Mastersons, Dr Grabows, several varieties of LHS pipes, Wellingtons, Mastercraft, Medico, Kaywoodies, Yello-Boles, Willards, and a lot more I can't think of at the moment! Two of the four pipes...

    My First New Pipe Since 1982

    Thanks, all! I showed my purchase to my wife and she was shocked at the price. I explained that this was not really a high end pipe but a very economical and sensible one. I think she is just used to seeing my ebay estate pipe charges on the checking account statement for ten bucks or so. Maybe...

    Going To No Tobacco Class At Work

    I work for a large health system so we are self insured. Since my coworkers are the ones taking care of me, one might think the costs would be quite low for our insurance. Maybe it is, because I only pay $180.00 a month for my wife and myself. My beef is that we hire a third party to manage our...

    What Did You Do On The 4th Of July?

    What I do every 4th of July and just about every other holiday.... Work! And I'm getting pretty tired of it too! 412 days left to go. Nice to hear others had a good time though.

    My First New Pipe Since 1982

    I figured it was about time. There was a sale at Smokingpipes.com and I got a bonus from my employer. So, taking advantage of the lucky convergence I bought myself a Peterson Irish Harp (999). Why that one? I don't have the shape represented in my collection yet, and there are many here who seem...
