    OK, Nothing Fancy But I Like it More Than My Zippos.

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization and Shortened Title (See Rule 9) - Bob I have nothing to gain but somehow came across this and I like non butane lighters especially at the altitude I live at. I kind of like it. Had it for a couple weeks and it is easier to refill (to me) and is kind of slick. Sure...

    What Do You Carry in Your Pockets?

    Ridge carbon wallet, CRKT knife with whistle (sometimes), keys/fob, and the occasional Ruger 380 (usually stays in my 4Runner). I try to go light. I walk with a hardwood cane so no big need for close range defense. I took down some jerk the size of Brad Garrett once with the cane and 20 minutes...

    Found This On The Beach

    What in the name of the Backstreet Boys? Does it come with a carburetor? I think I had an ex with one. She kept it in that special drawer- explains the "ex" part I guess... ha

    First-Year Pipe Smokers' Favorite Tobacco So Far

    Just too many depending on mood. Though I am a returning pipe smoker from when I was 20. Did cigars for decades after the pipe fail. So 29 years later... Wondering how long I can keep those few good cigars I have alive in the humidor. Otherwise favorites based on what I have had: Dorchester...

    Go To Pipe Tamper

    Wow, just wow. I do get tired of cleaning my fingers but that's why I need a tobacco loving doggie.

    Go To Pipe Tamper

    Decent wine, too. Well if the right vintage. Could do a lot worse.

    Anyone Know What the Heck This Pipe Is?

    HEY THANKS ALL. I think this untraceable Rossi is getting there. I believe the 3 day vinegar bath may have been a big save. Even this low grade Amphora is tasting okay. Using that to break it in for now. Not the funky booze flavor I had used before which seemed to be more of covering it up vs...

    Anyone Know What the Heck This Pipe Is?

    Any ideas on where to get a replacement stem to fit this bowl? It was a mess when I got it and well- I screwed up putting it in vinegar and it looks like a 76 Pacer left on the beach.

    Anyone Know What the Heck This Pipe Is?

    AWESOME- VERY USEFUL. Thanks for having me to screw around getting too many ideas. This sounds on spot from what I had read and forgot due to the holidays.

    Anyone Know What the Heck This Pipe Is?

    After soaking- should there be some more process so I am not smoking a douche (just kidding and lol)? But honest- do I need to anything else or perhaps smoke low end tobacco? - coming from a much to learn individual

    Anyone Know What the Heck This Pipe Is?

    Thanks- I have done that a good bit but still needs work.

    Anyone Know What the Heck This Pipe Is?

    Just gotta get the darn taste out. I tried cleaning the bowl- stayed a touch musty but then mistakenly used some liquor which I forget what it was but was suggested. I guess I can salt it down again. It does smoke well but that stem is a tad loose.

    Anyone Know What the Heck This Pipe Is?

    I lost mine at 12. That's actually pretty good for that breed. YES- IT SUCKS TO LOSE YOUR DOG. I am not too man enough to say I cried. It's a dog lover place here in CO.

    Anyone Know What the Heck This Pipe Is?

    Thanks- I miss her. That was when I had just got her. Bernese Mtn Dog. They are quite the popular breed now. They were "in fashion" when I found her but a perfect dog for most of Colorado. You won't find a kinder loving breed to be honest.

    Anyone Know What the Heck This Pipe Is?

    I can normally find most anything on the Internet- cannot find mention of that model and so forth. I think u r probably correct.

    Anyone Know What the Heck This Pipe Is?

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in (and shortened) Title (See Rule 9) - Bob I've had this pipe for a bit that I got on an auction for CHEAP. It's been thru a lot and felt perhaps I would refurb it and get lucky on a decent deal. It says "ROSSI"- know that one. Actually have one I quite like I use...

    Will I Hate The Tobaccos I Bought - Latakia Is In Them

    I find myself tweaking tobacco blends also. Perhaps that is in poor taste but it works out sometimes when I have a pinch of one or another left. If it's an aromatic I figure what is there to be lost? Now and then I will throw some "real" tobacco in with my aromatic to give it more of a smoke...
