    Why did you first pick up a pipe?

    I smoked about a pack day for 18 years and chewed tobacco occasionally within those years as well. I always had an attraction to the pipe but to be honest, 15 years ago when I was 20 years old, smoking a pipe at that age looked kinda silly. Especially considering that I think in those years...

    you can never have too much whiskey

    This is a long story and there are two parts so bear with me... Hachinohe, Japan. News Year Eve 2003. The girl I was "dating" at the time worked at a bar down in the city of Hachinohe and in the 4 years I was stationed in Japan I had become quite a regular there. The day before New Years Eve...

    Drug store favorites

    I've tried most of them. My favorites are... Prince Albert, Velvet (damn good smoke!), Captain Black White and Royal, and Paladin Black Cherry (one of the few aromatics and or cherry blends that actually tastes the way it smells. Love it!)

    Filters and Corn Cobs

    Im with some of the others on this. My MM Cob of choice is the Diplomat as well and all paper filters get tossed in the garbage. I havent had the problems you mentioned so far. I have tried smoking them with the filter left in a couple of times though. I found the draw slightly reduced and the...

    What are you watching right now? (TV/Movies post)

    "Hobo with a Shotgun" How on earth did they manage to get Rutger Hauer to do this film? (Admittedly though, its not THAT bad.) :-)

    Penzance Alert!

    There is an unopened tin from 2003 currently up for auction on Ebay. Current bid is $5.50. It's a week before the auction ends but I figured I let the resident Penzaholics know (if they didn't already) so they can keep an eye on it. Oh and no this is isn't my auction. I know how many people love...

    Savinelli Meile Honey Pipe, any thoughts?

    Thats what I thought when I bought it! Mine has kinda, sorta become my dedicated Orlik Golden Sliced pipe. It wasnt really intentional, I just noticed that every time I reach for the tin of Golden Sliced, that ends up being the pipe I use. :puffy:

    Savinelli Meile Honey Pipe, any thoughts?

    No and I'm not sure exactly what they use, but I think its some type of scent they spray or wipe on to the inner bowl that then soaks into the briar. The bowl is dry, bare briar that just has a an "off," sweet honey smell to it.

    Savinelli Meile Honey Pipe, any thoughts?

    I own one in the straight billiard configuration. Its a really nice, good looking pipe. I haven't had any problems with mine. The honey / scent flavor is a tad gimmicky and its gone after you smoke the first bowl. But I like mine and the included tamper is kinda neat.

    Cleaning woman cleans up modern art.

    I find it a tad ironic that people who claim to understand what fine art is are no better than those that think anything outside of a Bob Ross painting is crap. Both are worthy of a massive "facepalm."

    Cleaning woman cleans up modern art.

    There's no such thing as "good" art or "bad" art. Art just is. That's the point.

    Well...Shit... RIP Flattus Maximus

    Damn that does suck! :( Maybe its just me but I never thought GWAR got the respect they deserved. Many of the social critiques in their songs went right over most peoples heads.

    It's discrimination, but it's okay because they use tobacco

    Notes for the Rookies

    Just to add to the list... Whenever someone post something along the lines of "Just tried (insert name or style of a particular blend)and I really loved it. Can anyone recommend some others that I might like?" The thread then gets filled with (sometimes rather lengthy) lists of blends. The...

    Back To The Cob

    Me. Well, I didn't start out on cobs. But after I bought a few MM Diplomats a couple of years ago I was an instant fan. In fact, about 6 months ago I went through a period where I smoked nothing but my cobs for about a month and a half. It wasn't intentional, just that, every time I went to...

    Just got this beast.

    NICE!!! I rarely envy someone for their possessions, but in this case I'm filled with it! Oh, and I think you should smoke it and smoke it often!!
