Very special ending to a hard Monday
Very nice and glad to hear that kind of happy report. Both my sons, who are 23 and 25 smoke pipes....thanks to me, I suppose. We've had some enjoyable spring days and evenings sitting out in the yard listening to bird songs and doing some identification. All that's required is some good tobacco...- tuold

Tobacco chemicals
There was a discussion related to this topic here: WTF IS In My Tobacco? In my mind, it's not what's in the tobacco so much as what does it become after it is combusted? I'm not sure the particles you inhale undergo any change in your lungs. They either get exhaled back out or get get lodged in...- tuold

Man Day
I was going to recommend, "The Cocoanuts" or a Three Stooges marathon. You need some comic relief!- tuold

Before And After....Recent Restorations..... Very Pic Heavy!
@petes03, First, thanks for posting all those pictures. this is my favorite kind of thread! I worked on a Jet Stream pipe yesterday where the logo on the stem had been worn. I had success by using a sharp toothpick dipped in flat white enamel model paint. I used the other sharp end to scrape...- tuold

What do you all make of this
If you look closely it has some holes drilled into it, probably to affix some sort of metalwork now missing. -
How many pipes?
I'm at around seventy pipes now. I've got three new estates from ebay in front of me right now I'll be taking into the shop for restoration today. My favorite ones are the jumbo Wellingtons, but sometimes I'll just grab a random pipe off the rack. -
Inexplicable Intransigence
I really miss the Tinder Box we used to have at the mall. The guys there were always helpful and eager to talk tobacco and pipes. They would always offer to buff my pipe when I brought it in and encouraged me to fill my pipe with a sample of tobacco I hadn't tried. Several times I've attempted...- tuold

Is this a good smoker
I have a "Doodler". It's nothing special other than being an amusing collectible. Sixty bucks isn't bad for one in that shape.- tuold

Is there something special about this GBD 9461 sterling mount
I've bid on some of "Mr Can's" auctions but I've never seen his reserve met. Must be out of my league! -
Falcon Pipe Massacre
I just bought a fine one off of ebay for $7.50. I believe I saw a few minus the bowl you could pick up for parts and repair. -

Karma and the Briar
The only war I fought was the "cold" war, but one thing most civilians don't realize is how dangerous it can be even in peacetime. It was almost a daily occurrence on base to have accidents like a palette fall on somebody or a crew chief fall off a wing of a plane he was servicing or some other...- tuold

I Saw a Dunhill Titanic Pipe With My Own Eyes
Maybe they will come out with a "Hindenburg" pipe. So many disasters to choose from. -

Difference In These Falcons
I looked at scores of Falcon pipes in eBay last night and didn't see anything like yours. Ended up winning an auction for another one...my third Falcon. -
Well, I came out...
You provided a very good defense for your hobby. We pipe smokers have mountains of misinformation to overcome. Ever look at the WebMD page on pipe smoking? It would be outright laughable if that kind of nonsense were not so pervasive. And we all know that wine drinkers are at a high risk for...- tuold

Kansas City Bans Smoking In Your Own Home If You're Poor
-Ronald Reagan I wonder if this sentiment has any relevance anymore? Whether or not it's ever been true it strikes a resonance with me now. It sounds severe, but I'd be living on the street before I accepted government housing. It would be like prison.- tuold

Tip For Those Running An Online Store
I've actually been remonstrated by coworkers to stop "spoiling" our customers. It's amazing to me that management sometimes tolerates a culture of laziness. We are having an increasingly difficult time finding new technicians who don't arrive with a list of demands at their interview. "I have...- tuold
