    New Members, Introduce Yourself!

    Welcome, Wolf! There are a number of Canadians on the board, including a few from Beautiful British Columbia. Regarding the Tolkien-LOTR connection, there are a number on the board who have a similar story to tell. Funny note about that, in the extended edition of the LOTR DVDs, there is a...

    Looking for Saskatchewan pipers

    You guys are in Saskatchewan. If you want to see who else smokes a pipe, just go outside. You can see the whole province from there. :mrgreen: Thank you, thank you, I'm here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitress. Simon (from British Columbia)

    May-2011-what-are-you-smoking? II

    Mac Baren Plumcake in a Dr. Grabow Omega. Good combination: the pipe doesn't have an open draft, so it prevents the tobacco from biting. Simon

    Missus got U on the short leash?

    Obviously, when times are tight we have to adjust. I know your wife isn't getting a lot of sympathy, but some people are not at their best when things are bad and there's no sign of improvement. I've got a friend whose marriage disintegrated when he was unemployed. Car repo'd, the whole bit. She...

    Revenue Canada nabbed my shipment

    Ah, the eternal conundrum of being a Canadian pipe smoker. I've brought back amounts with me from trips down south, but the rest I've procured from my local B & M's. I'm lucky to have three of 'em within an hour's drive. Yes, it's $30 for a tin, but at the rate I smoke, the cost isn't...

    No. 2 A volcano

    Volcanoes are a neat shape. My current favorite pipe is a Brigham .#484, a volcano. Yous is extreme, though. Nice! Simon

    Post Your Picture With a Pipe.

    Nice pics, everyone! Notice how relaxed everyone looks in these photos? Coincidence? I think not! :D Simon

    What's So Good About English Blends?

    I'm an occasional pipesmoker too, and I have to report that Fm on the town worked for me as a crossover. English blends aren't my go-to, but they have an honorable spot in the rotation. Judging that I like FMOTT more than Vintage Syrian, I suspect it's the Basma in there that I like. I think my...

    Lane MV1000 in a Brigham 1/2 bent volcano. Was two full days of DGT until I finally grabbed the time to pit match to leaf. Simon

    How Old When You Smoked Your First Pipe?

    31. Hadn't even seen a pipe in years, beyond the silver screen or the pages of a book. Turned to the Internet and here I am. Simon

    Ladies Only Freebie

    Congrats on the win, Sharon! I knew if I hunted around the forums long enough I'd find the pipe you won. You'll always have a great story to go with this pipe. Better'n my usual ones, anyways. "Yep, won it on eBay." :lol: Simon

    Congrats to Lawrence!

    Sorry about being way late on this: been reno'ing for two days without a sniff of tobacco but... CONGRATULATIONS! Glad to hear everyone's doing fine, even the granddaddy. Simon

    New Members, Introduce Yourself!

    Welcome, everyone who's come on board. Looks like a fair sampling from all over the world, both hemispheres! So, if you're in New Zealand, does the smoke swirl differently out of the bowl, like sinks draining backwards? :) Simon

    May, 2011 - What are you smoking?

    McClelland Frog Morton on the Town, in my Brigham apple. Sat out back in the sun. Still a bit nippy around here. Not the desert, that's for sure. Simon
