    C&D Billy Budd

    I enjoyed the few bowls I had of it. I might get an oz or two next order now that I have been reminded of it. Thank you.

    Recommendations.

    Among many great companies and products you will find from many helpful people here, I would personally recommend checking out Cornell and Diehl's English blends. They are relatively inexpensive when bought in bulk, and there offerings are, at least to me, very beginner friendly. Their website...

    I Can't Take It Anymore!

    Yeah friend don't stress out, it'll come in time. One day you'll have a pipe that blows your mind, and then they will all start to have the same effect. I feel like in certain ways almost every pipe I've ever smoked has been better than the one before it.

    $400 to Spend on a Pipe

    If I had to spend it just on pipes I would have a hard time not buying a couple of Boswells, or a Baronet Bruyere in every shape. But my fiance would know about the $400 and because she's awesome would let me spend probably $50 of it and then the rest towards some financial goals of ours.

    I'm In A Jam...

    I had every intention never to return to college after a bad semester a few years back. I had a lot of the same feelings you did. I took time to work, took time to find myself, pissed off some family members - but it was what was best for ME! Eventually, not too long ago, I made the decision...

    Why is it so Hard to Find a Sub $100 Pipe That is Drilled Correctly?

    I'll agree with that. Both my Baronet 510EX and 121EX were under $50 and they are perfectly symetrical.

    Help Me by Explaining Why Smoking Slower Smokes Cooler

    Something something Newton's law of cooling something something physics... I think it's simply because when you smoke slow the smoke has time to cool on its way to your mouth, allowing the temp to change. Also, because you're smoking slower, you tend not to draw so hard, keeping the coal smaller...

    Anyone Here Have Tattoos?

    I have a celtic knot on my left shoulder/upper arm, an outline of Michigan on my anlkle (which I actually got in Detroit on my trip to johnnyxpipe's wedding, and my pièce de résistance - a quarter sleeve (and planned to be growing) spanish motif in the painterly style of a matador and a bull.

    The One That Got Away...

    I know that feel, bro. I had my eyes on a Sav Capri Root Briar, I think it was a 121EX shape. It was gorgeous. Nearly unsmoked and in amazing condition. I also missed my alarm to snipe it out, and it went for $30!!!! :evil: Now, although it's not as fun, I'll set max bids. It's definitely...

    What Is The Purpose?

    Say something condescending like "If you must know, you are not yet ready to find out" or "The answer will find you if you let it" :rofl: My Dad has hassles me about my hobby many times, and I always give him a similar answer.

    Some thoughts on OTC pipes.

    Beautiful. I'm a proud owner of a couple Grabows and Woodies - love them. Don't think Pipesmagazine.com is too populated with snobs for that matter, eaither. Thank you for sharing!
