    first smoke

    Please post a pic of your setup, and maybe some shots of work in progress. I know I'd love to see them! Are there any particular eBay sellers that you go with for the briar? Simon

    Newbie question number 10,346 3/4

    In the funny and thoughtful "Towards a Theology of Pipe Smoking", (found links here), the author writes: I store my pipes in a rack with the bowl down. Simon

    Pipe-Smoking and Health: Some Considerations

    It provides some interesting things to think about. There's nothing wrong with keeping them in mind when enjoying a pipe. Eventually the new habits will replace the old and you won't need to think about them. I draw the line at getting a retainer, though! I should have kept mine from high...

    Cynthia Needs to See You in Her Office to Discuss Pipe Smoking

    Dang!!!! Another great set of Pipe Babe photos. Well done, and congrats Bubba on having a "smokin'" woman. Am I allowed to point out that I like the pipe, too? Nice 1/4 bent Rhodesian. Is it a personal item, or one provided for the shoot? Simon

    PAD...Clinically

    :-D You don't hear me complaining, do you? Actually, the thing I complain about the most is the low frequency of my smoking, which limits the demand for new pipes and tobacco! Life, always getting in the way. Simon

    PAD...Clinically

    @wallbright: It's all relative... as you should know from your avatar! There's PAD, then there's PAD. Compare me to my wife's grandfather who owned and smoked one Peterson only: I'm outta control! Compare me to some of the more seriously affected around here... and I'm hardly even in the game...

    The Joke Thread: Not Safe For Work (NSFW)

    LOL! Good ones. Have you read the rest of this thread? buck67's one about the iPod and the top of this page still makes my laugh. Bring it on! :-) Simon

    PAD O how I hate thee

    Someday, someone is going to have to run a "danish freehand appreciation" clinic around here, because I just don't get it. :-) Nevertheless, I applaud you on your acquisitions and the joy you are about to receive! Simon

    PAD...Clinically

    My Vauen is the 3108, which I have a picture of in my album. It came with a churchwarden long stem, but I haven't smoked it with the long stem yet. I use the short stem. It smokes really, really well and I'd say it's my favorite right now. I usually put light aro's through it (1-Q, MV-1000...

    Meerschaum

    Nice! I love the simple designs in meers. Now, to color it... Are you up to the task? Better start training so that you don't pull up with an injury. :-) Simon

    PAD...Clinically

    After I got my Vauen on a trip down to the States in the summer, I told my wife that that was the last pipe. I have five, and given my rate of smoking that works out to a two-week rotation. Then there was the story about Brigham, and got me to thinking about how much I liked my Brigham 1-pin...

    New Acquisitions For The Week

    Nice! I hope they are good smokers. I also got "lucky" this week, but I'm trying to wait until it's in hand before it get too excited. But it's hard... Simon

    Pics of a newbie pipe smoker\'s pipes

    Billiards usually have a bowl that is as long as the shank, whereas a Canadian has a longer shank, comparatively, and oval. Yeah, these charts get you in the game, but the devil's in the details. Sometimes there are arguments, fights and bloodshed... okay, I'm exaggerating. But I'm sure that...

    Anyone spend time with an unlit pipe?

    As I've mentioned a number of times here on the board, I'm not a constant smoker. I love my pipes and I love my tobacco, but everything has its time and place. Until such time as I do some home renos to make my home office more smoke-friendly, my choices of place are the garage or the deck/yard...

    What makes a good pipe? / my first pipe!

    Congrats on the pipe, hellar. Just look at the pictures of my pipes threads and you'll realize that everybody has their own ideas of what pipes they let into their own collections. The basics are constant: good briar (or meerschaum!), holes that line up and a shape/size/bit that suits the...

    Define inhale please

    ROFL The times I've had accidental inhalations, the sensation is immediate, burning and unpleasant. It's a reminder to pay attention and do it right. I can't speak to comparisons to cig smoking, having never done it. Simon

    Favorite baccy Brands and Makes

    Of the blends I have on hand, my faves are Lane 1-Q, Lane MV-1000 (similar, to 1-Q, but all golden virginias) and CAO Eileen's Dream. I'm currently out of PS Black Currant Cavendish and can't get it around here, but that would be the first thing I would reach for if I had some. I'm hoping Solani...
