Zippo Pipe Lighter for the Winter
Same mechanicals on each. Neither will wear faster than the other. The different inserts are simply a matter of flame/lighter orientation. Winter, Summer, Spring, Fall - my Zippos preform just fine. Actually, they are better than butane lighters in cold weather. The wheel never seems to wear...- Ctbill

Why Prof. Einstein Smoked Pipe This Way?
No idea... How about the Freudian “sometimes a cigar is just a cigar...” In that, at that place and time, these were photographed in that state, and nothing more? Emphasizing, “no idea...”... Quite a detailed observation of pictures though I might add!- Ctbill

Any Good Summer Blend Recommendations?
...strange enough, I am now smoking C&D Apricot with a healthy pour of Woodford Reserve...and it is unexpectedly a very good combo! I tend toward light English, Balkan, Orientals mostly, but do enjoy the occasional aromatic. Dug the apricot deep out of the cabinet tonight for some reason...??♂️- Ctbill

Family Approved Indoor Smoking Blends?
...forgot to add... I’ve used a small ozone machine (+/- $80?) to completely eliminate ALL odors from any room or car. 10-15 minutes for a car or 12x15 room is all it takes. DO NOT be in the space when running (nor pets or plants). Yes, it’s that effective. Smells like the room was entirely...- Ctbill

Family Approved Indoor Smoking Blends?
A window exhaust fan to create negative pressure in the room works wonders to remove smoke/smell...regardless of what blend you smoke (assuming you have a window in the room). Worth a try - works great for me in my basement smoking room. I find little effect on heating/cooling in the room fwiw...- Ctbill

Pretty awesome cabinet! Hardly ugly, and obvious you know your way around wood. Simple is fine, but this is VERY nicely done! Love it...?- Ctbill

Infinity Jars
Not a high volume smoker here, but I like what I like, and it cover the spectrum. Love sampling “down the rabbit hole” of blends recommended as “if you like x, try y”. A few specs less than half a bowl just gets pitched, unless I liked it and ordered more - then the remains would join his...- Ctbill

Corncob vs Hardwood
I have and use both. I actually sanded down a MM hardwood, and painted (the OUTSIDE!) with black bed liner for a tough, rustic beater pipe. Even buffed up the ferrule to silver...?- Ctbill

Why Smoke A Pipe?
Mostly, for me, it’s “dessert”...Sometimes, it’s my evening drive home. After dinner, a nice pour of “brown water”, and a bowl. Love the various flavors of all the varieties of pipe tobacco, and I do enjoy all of the various genres of pipe tobacco blends, and finding new ones... This is...- Ctbill

All About J.L. Peretti
Peretti has some great, original blends! I’m partial to Royal and Tashkent - I really like their Balkans & Oriental blends. Give them a try, as I see you have some Burley, VaPer, and Va‘s covered...- Ctbill

My New Falcon
I’m no Falcon expert or fanboy, but I have a couple stems, and a few bowls to interchange. Use the dry rings (made/cut from standard pipe cleaners). The straight Falcons have no means to absorb moisture BUT for the dry rings. One wrong head move creates a tobacco juice slurpy without the...- Ctbill

Manual Transmissions
Best I can gather, the last carburetor cars in the US were 1989-1991 time frame... Plenty of motorcycles still use them, but they too are a smaller and smaller percentage (in the US). Worldwide, I believe a carb’d motorcycle is actually the most prevalent!- Ctbill
