    Merry Christmas everyone!

    Merry Christmas to all my virtual smoking buddies. This hobby would be a lot more solitary without y'all. Simon

    December, 2010 What Are You Smoking?

    Lane MV-1000 in my Brigham 1/2 bent volcano. Christmas has wound down. Company has departed and the kids are in bed. No new pipe gear from Santa: not that I needed any, mind. No snow here. That's no big surprise either. Hope everyone had a good Christmas with loved ones near. Simon

    December, 2010 What Are You Smoking?

    Morning all. Lane MV-1000 in my Vauen half bent Rhodesian. Everything is ready for Christmas, and the relatives start arriving this afternoon. Peace. Simon

    Tobacco Named: Shortcut to Mushrooms - Fellowship of the Ring

    I just started reading the Lord of the Rings to my daughter tonight. I thought the section of the Prologue "Concerning Pipe-weed" was fascinating, although I may be alone in that. After reading, we looked over the map of the Shire, reading out the place-names. Yes, Frogmorton was one of them...

    New Acquisition

    Nice to see quality pipes going to good homes. I rounded out my small collection with a Brigham volcano off eBay recently and it was s great addition. Just what I needed. Nice looking pipe, hope it does well for you. Simon

    OTC tobacco?

    @bubbadreier: Same here. Although in Canada, I think it's the taxes that make this happen. If you are paying $28 for 50g of OTC tobacco, it's not much of a leap to pay $30 for McClelland, Solani or Mac Baren. As such, I've only ever seen Amphora and Sail, once each. Never seen Capt. Black, PA...

    December, 2010 What Are You Smoking?

    Some Lane MV-1000 in my Brigham volcano. Nice light smoke. @buck67: I know the feeling. Solani 633 flake did it to me. I've sworn off / given away most of it in the box pass. I tried three times to smoke that stuff, and each time it started with beautiful taste and ended with me dizzy and...

    Christmas Carol Favorites

    That brings back great memories of the music that Mom and Dad would play when we were decorating the tree. Traditional: O Holy Night, Carol of the Bells Pop: Blue Christmas, basically the whole soundtrack of A Charlie Brown Christmas. Novelty: Christmas in Hollis, Porky Pig's version of B-b-blue...

    Whats up with "friends"

    There's a part of the site where it lists your friends and how recently they've been on the site. Handy for keeping in touch if you need to PM a friend, too, unless you're pstlpkr and have a nice short list of 1,000 or so friends... :D Simon

    The Joke Thread: Not Safe For Work (NSFW)

    @jsharp: good thing I'd swallowed my coffee by the time I finished that one. Would have been all over the monitor. Simon

    December, 2010 What Are You Smoking?

    McClelland Frog Morton on the Town in my 1/4 bent Brigham apple. Just a half bowl before cleaning up after martial arts and the off to bed. Simon

    What do you do about pipe breath

    My wife is also a fan of the post-smoke scent that lingers on me. She prefers the non-Latakia blends that way, but she doesn't complain either way. I make a point of using Biotene after a bowl, so the primary source of the scent is what's caught up in my beard. Reason number 539 why facial hair...

    Welcome aboard, sparroa! Pretty soon, PM.com will have enough Canadian content to qualify for a CRTC operating grant. Simon

    December, 2010 What Are You Smoking?

    Jason: if you are looking for a big improvement in your heating, try radiant heat. I tried to find the one I have, but this is as close as I could get: http://goo.gl/aCZvy It's 1500 watts that directly heats whatever is underneath. I have it mounted to the ceiling in the garage and then set up...

    Post Your Picture With a Pipe.

    I've been saying to my wife that this forum needs a "Lee Van Cleef thread of awesomeness" topic. Going to work on getting a photo with my pipe soon. My avatar will have to do for now. That's me with my Brigham rusticated apple. Simon

    I smoke outside...

    I'm an outside smoker, but now that the weather has turned to winter-wet-nasty, the "outside" has expanded to include the garage. I've got a radiant heater installed, so I can sit under that and not be too chilly, although last night I waved off a pipe because I was feeling chilled and couldn't...
