    Cost of Whisky/Whiskey in the US

    I'm really curious how this thread came to be. First, why would someone care what whiskey costs in the US unless he is in a position to buy it; and if he's in a position to buy it, wouldn't he know the price? And why whiskey in general, rather than this or that whiskey? And why would a member...

    Pseudo Review: Samuel Gawith Brown no. 4

    If virginias, perique, and burley are out, there don't seem to be many safe blends. I gotta say, I used to think I was pretty dedicated to tobacco. But between this and the guy who continues smoking pipes after giving himself third degree burns on his tongue and bad breath, and after being...

    But what is "active"? *ducks*

    Oppressive FDA Regulations

    If we run out of countries whose governments don't care, I'd be up for buying a private island and leasing space to pipe tobacco producers. A barge in international waters would be even safer; no law of the sea regards tobacco productions.

    Oppressive FDA Regulations

    Maybe all the blenders who are big enough to justify relocating will just expatriate to emerging market countries (think Russia, India, Argentina), countries whose governments either don't care or are too busy dealing with actual problems to bother with making the lives of pipe smokers...

    The Wal-Mart Greeter

    Good one. I actually laughed out loud. Jaytex, your story reminded me of the time I spent hours on the phone with tech-support trouble-shooting my in-laws' slow internet connection. Near the end of the call, while the issue was still unresolved, I casually mentioned, "I'm not sure it's...

    Purchased Pipe Has Wire Through Stem & Chamber

    First thought on reading the subject line: you must have bought a pipe from banjobob see here. But on seeing the photo, they use almost exactly that system on the in-home water and gas meters in my town. The meters are in the basement but have a little wire run through and around them that is...

    Make Your Own Pipe Article

    Fun stuff! Thanks for sharing. The cup sander was especially interesting to me. I've never understood how they finish the outside of the heel so perfectly.

    Saving a Plain Jane

    Do people actually use carburetors and screens for tobacco pipes or is that a sign it was retrofitted for other smokable substances? This is an honest question, not sarcasm.

    Nording Bulldog

    @ sablebrush, I thought a bulldog by definition has a diamond shank (or at least a straight shank). Have I misunderstood the shape?

    Pipe Cleaning with Liquids

    I won't offer an opinion as I'm not sure I've figured it out, but I think as an observation of fact that there are relatively few people who recommend using liquid frequently; I see it mentioned more as an "as needed" or periodic but rare measure. Personally, I always tend to use heat to clean...

    Decent Briar for under $50?

    I'm looking forward to having something to report! They arrive tonight, or so says USPS. In anticipation of their arrival, I've been reviewing how to break in briar pipes. I'm basically getting the message that you smoke them, don't use cigar lighters on them, finish all your bowls, and don't...

    Changing taste

    I'd estimate I initially smoked an ounce over 2 or 3 months before moving on to other things that were either newer or that I enjoyed much more. However, I like small bowls so it takes me a lot more than 10 bowls to finish a 50 gram tin (I seem to remember your saying not long ago that you smoke...

    Oppressive FDA Regulations

    By definition the blackmarket operates outside the law (that is, the black market is, by definition, illegal). What constitutes a "loophole" is often in the eye of the beholder (is the exception in question intended by the law or is it an oversight of a careless legislator or regulator), but...
