    Any Thoughts On This Pipe And The Buy Now Price? I Like This Sort Of Design. Looks Good.

    This is a Neerup NOS and another listing completely. I am not elated with Savinelli (I waited and bought one of those), my Rossi smokes better but is too hot. I bought a estate GBD- it's ok. I should have mentioned this is another pipe and I do like this one: Neerup NOS

    I kind of like this Neerup but I think it shall be too rich for my blood. At $61 now but likely to go over $70 I am guessing

    Agreed. Comoy's and junk. Hard to make out the darn stem damage even.. Still worth anything?

    I am waiting to here from the seller if you can even pass a pipe cleaner through that stem. I see he's changed the buy now price several times though I cannot see the $ history.

    Worth a low ball bid? Best place for a new stem? I do typically put a rubber guard on my stems. I like to protect them plus I tend to clench them.

    not complaining about the cobs. I do like them. They just seem to smoke a bit quick and well for me lol. Sweet yes but allows me to stay at a fast cadence where my briars have a different slower cooler burn to them, well the one anyways as my Rossi burns somewhat quick but too hot. I just need...

    Soren Freehand Estate Smoking Pipe Hand Carved Made In Denmark I had a pipe break and I am really low on decent pipes to use. Falling back onto cobs which I end up with too fast of a cadence for me. It's a free hand, Soren Denmark, Lost fairly good condition. I am thinking that's an ok $ though...

    Health Concerns.

    Fat I am not. Chef I was and love to cook. I think I just like the finer things. When I was well to do- I certainly indulge. I am now at the end of my wine stock and so on. Still- we try to travel but Europe is off limits due to time. So hey smoke well, if you shall drink- then drink the good...

    Health Concerns.

    Oxygen generators work out better over the long run. Get a big guy for the home and a portable. They are a great way to start the day, too!

    Health Concerns.

    never really ever a cig smoker. Sure the teenage tryout as many did back decades ago. I don't miss that taste if you want to call it that.

    Any Brandy Drinkers?

    I was but a youth of around 20 those days and yes- not my party lol. Don't recall loving Presidente brandy either...

    Health Concerns.

    If I make it to 60 I'll be amazed so the heck with it. Might as well enjoy what I have left to the most. Living without all the things that make it enjoyable seems pointless. Existing to just exist sounds more painful to me than taking some risks. I am not saying to shave years off one's life...

    How To Pick Meerschaum

    Awesome info. I've been on the fence with those pipes. What can one to expect to pay for a high end Meerschaum? I am guessing out of my budget for some time until my novel hits (or misses).

    Any Brandy Drinkers?

    Interesting, I keep E&J in my cabinet for cooking (sauces, steaks, etc.). Seems too cheap to drink but may try now. Last time I drank brandy- I am embarrassed to say I had some Presidente in Tijuana in a brothel (I did not participate) waiting for the other guys during a bachelor party. They...

    OK To Vacuum Seal Bulk Aromatic Tobacco?

    Thank you. Perhaps I just see aromatics (or flavorful ones) as some that tend to only smoke English blends and such. Not personally mind you- just that I perhaps have an uninformed palate. If we want to talk cigars- well I can do that and won't back down lol. Thx

    OK To Vacuum Seal Bulk Aromatic Tobacco?

    Funny- I buy a american lb of tobac and feel like I am stocking my big freezer with a new load of steaks/beef. A wonderful feeling lol. No- I do not put it in a freezer though that's an interesting thought for long term storage of a special to be used but once again tobacco. (probably ruined...

    OK To Vacuum Seal Bulk Aromatic Tobacco?

    So do you personally feel it's a good practice on some other tobacco types? I am not swimming in high end tobaccos but do have some decent ones. I've left "Pete's Beard" in it's jar that it came in though opened it 2x in the distant past, quiet nights is in a jar, my crumbs of Dorchester in a...

    Brands or Blends Ready to Smoke

    Orlik and Dorchester have been kind to me. Perhaps Quite Nights but not as much as Dorchester- but I am going more with the dryness and good flavor out of the gate.

    Are Certain Style Of Pipes Easier To Smoke To The Bottom?

    I've been finding that also interestingly. Not my favorite pipes but sometimes I am amazed the smoke I get when I break one back out after a long while.

    OK To Vacuum Seal Bulk Aromatic Tobacco?

    I ask as I bought a bunch of bulk Sutliff vanilla custard/cream- my wife likes the room notes. It allows me to smoke in her vicinity without the games of putting a blanket over her face or dirty looks. Else- off to the man cave. So I can get more jars but I my thinking is that this sort of...
