    Tobacco Tax- Response from my Senator

    "... placing a tax burden on one product may seem unfair, I believe we must act for the greater good". Thank you Adolf Hitler.

    HELP!

    Greg Watchman of the EPA is quoted: "Field studies of environmental tobacco smoke indicate that under normal conditions, the components in tobacco smoke are diluted below existing Permissible Exposure Levels (PELS.) as referenced in the Air Contaminant Standard (29 CFR 1910.1000)...It would be...

    "Pipes For Troops" Proposal?

    "Damn the torpedos (and flak)! Full speed ahead!" :puffy: I'd be honored to donate a few $ if the guys in the field would be assured of getting the pipes and tobac. :clap: I've seen many pics of happy guys in camos puffing donated cigars. Why not pipes?

    Pipe Tobacco Aroma

    sjpipesmoker: That's that old Indian curse I was talking about. :lol:

    Smoking to the bottom

    I agree with what assaad said. My pipes don't have a true cake in the heel. It's blackened but not caked. When breaking in a new pipe, I usually get to a point where I can taste/smell the briar burning. It's distinctive. You shouldn't be able to miss the different taste. When that happens, I...

    Pipe Tobacco Aroma

    I think I have a very sensitive nose: I can smell things before others notice (if they notice at all). Spilled vinegar sends me running for the exit. :lol: And yet, I am a victim of that old Indian curse... I can't really smell what I am smoking. Only what others smoke. This doesn't bother...

    Stolen Pipe from Rick Newcombe - Please Return

    Whew! I was hoping it would be "misplaced" or something like that and not outright theft. This reminds me of an incident close to home: Several years ago I allowed a shearing crew to sleep in my barn/pickup garage while they sheared my sheep. While still here, I noticed that my set of...

    Unknow pipe identify please.

    It looks like what was known then as a "cheroot holder". Yes, a holder for a small cigar. They were common in smokers catalogs around the turn of the last century. I've seen pics of fancy ones like this, carved meerschaum.

    Smoking to the bottom

    To each his own. :-) Some people only smoke half a cigar. I smoked them down until I'd almost burn my fingers. It's not just "economy". I look at a pipe like a car. If you drive only a short distance, you are not getting it hot enough and you will have problems with condensation in the...

    If you could go back and see ONE BAND...

    eaglerico said: "I am only 26 and have always thought i was born in the wrong era when it came to music." I know the feeling. I'm "only" 58 and I was still swinging to the Big Bands while growing up in the era of the Beatles. :D

    Stolen Pipe from Rick Newcombe - Please Return

    A pipe disappears while it sits on a table full of your friends! Good grief! One wonders how something like that could possibly happen... everybody has seen it and handled it and knows who it belongs to. You'd hope your friends would keep a better eye on it than that if you walk away for a...

    Shucks, cortez... you're makin' me blush. :oops:

    Smoking to the bottom

    davesussex, It's not just the moisture. When you draw on your pipe, you are filtering the smoke, and everything in it, through the tobacco in the heel. It's just more concentrated then. Cigars are the same... "gamier" at the butt end.

    Pipe Smoker Friendly Establishments?

    tedswearingen: Lucky for you! A "privately owned and operated business" means nothing to the anti-smoking forces down here. If it is open to the public and has more than one employee, smoking is banned. :cry:

    Yeah For Kentucky!

    That's a good post, jayh. :clap: I usually don't smoke at restaurants either, but I try to keep the flame burning by asking for the smoking section, even after smoking sections have been banned! When told there is no smoking section, I give the person a dirty look. This tells them the ban is...

    Smoking to the bottom

    I make an effort to burn every last bit of tobacco in the bowl. Yes, it tastes stronger at the bottom, but I think it is better for the pipe to evaporate the moisture that may remain in the heel and sour the pipe. I don't usually dump ashes during a smoke. I tamp them down gently, until I...

    I'm the worst pipe smoker ever...

    I've been smoking for years and I probably average about 6 relights per bowl. This doesn't bother me. I'm usually reading or doing something that takes my focus off the pipe. I make an effort to smoke every last bit of tobacco in the bowl. (With some pipes, this is hard to do.) I try to...

    If you could go back and see ONE BAND...

    Glenn Miller and His Orchestra circa 1941 at the Cafe Rouge of the Hotel Pennsylvania, NYC (call Pennsylvania 6-5000!) (Or at Glen Island Casino or the Steel Pier, for that matter. :D ) Vocals by Tex Beneke, Marion Hutton, Ray Eberle, and the Modernaires! In the Mood, Moonlight Serenade, I've...
