    Brigham U.S.A. Opens for Business, Headed by Brian Levine

    I have two Brighams in my collection. A 1/4 bent rusticated apple that was my first pipe, and a four-pin 84 volcano that's half rusticated. I got it off of eBay not too long ago. I have run them with and without the filter, and I can't tell the difference, to be honest. The volcano is my...

    February 2011 - What are you smoking?

    Blue Note in my Dr. Grabow Omega. I was going to reach for the CAO Eileen's Dream, but something pushed me this way instead. Was a long day. Cheers all. Simon

    If you could only smoke one blend, what would it be?

    I'm still experimenting with different blends, so how do I separate the infatuation of newness from true love? I am speaking of my new tin of Solani X Sweet Mystery, which really is working for me. But what happens when love turns cold? Do you turn to another? Or stand steadfast? Feel free to...

    Good luck to Lawrence!

    Good luck, Lawrence. One day I'll make the trek down south and show up at your door, hat in hand, asking for an intense schooling in the art of the slow smoke from you. Simon

    February 2011 - What are you smoking?

    Solani X Sweet Mystery in my 1/2 bent Brigham volcano. Wife was snuggling up to me for all she was worth afterwards. I think this one's a keeper! :mrgreen: Simon

    PAD - For God's Sake keep me off EBay!!!

    I was in the hunt for an old Grabow author, but the price shot up at the end. I didn't want it that badly. :-) Besides, I told my wife I wasn't getting more soon... Congrats on the bamboo pipes, Yoru. Very distinctive. Simon

    New York Snuffs Out Smoking (parks, time square Ban Passed)

    It pains me to see it. I'm used to a nanny state, but of late it seems the Washingtonians and New Yorkers are trying to out-Canada Canada. I don't ever intend to relocate to the Big Apple, but it's a sign of the times. I quote your own Benjamin Franklin back to you: "Those who would give up...

    Briar vs Bruyere, Center vs Centre, those damn English spellings..how come?

    I make an effort to use the American spellings when I'm posting here, out of respect for the majority. 'Taint no big thang. :-) English is a common language of the masses which was jumbled together from Old English, French and the Saxon languages. Probably a few more in there, too. That it has...

    Show Us Your Tobacco Stash

    @brando71: awesome, man, just awesome. I love this thread, thanks for reviving it. @wolfscout: I see you use the same squat wide mouth mason jars that I do. For those of us who don't cellar pounds at a time. I find they hold about 50-100g just fine. Simon

    Collin's PAD Issues for 2011

    Augh. There's no freakin' way I would start a thread for myself like this. That would be the pebble that started the avalanche. :lol: :crazy: Congrats on the Kaywoodie. Always happy to hear when someone finds something they like. Simon

    Been a while...

    When the thread was on about the new B&M in Nanaimo, B.C., most of the Canucks on the forum chimed in, and that was when I really thought "where the heck did Phil go?" Welcome back. Simon

    Under the Radar....

    A thing of beauty. I'd say "enjoy it", but that would be completely unnecessary. Simon
