Avatar Update
That's pretty kewl! BTW, thanks Kevin or whoever originated that generic "new member's" avatar. I copied it and removed the question mark, leaving the pipe-smoking silhouette. I'm going to use it for my Facebook avatar. :puffy:- jimbo

The Pipe Smoker's Ephemeris
Lucky you! :worship: I was a member of the late Tom Dunn's TUCOPS (The Universal Coterie of Pipe Smokers) for about the last 10 years of its existence. I certainly looked forward to his TPSE (The Pipe Smokers Ephemeris), an irregular but volumnous publication that came out two to four times a...- jimbo

Television Pipe Sighting
With such an old pipe-smoking "character", I'd think any "P.C. commissar" in the crew would have gotten the pipe up his nose if he suggested the old boy put the pipe down. :lol:- jimbo

A Question About Vulcanite Stems
"Ah, sweet mystery of life". The guy who first wrote that must have been talking about vulcanite stems. :D I have an older, inexpensive Savinelli (made for the balsa filters) that will oxidize just by looking at it! Well, that's probably an exaggeration, but one quick pop into the mouth and...- jimbo

roll your own as a kid
West Texas "cedar" is not cedar at all but Juniper. It's got a nice smell for decorating the home at Christmas. True cedar is more of a real tree than scrubby juniper bushes. White cedar is what is used in expensive humidors and wrapping some cigars. Red cedar is the more aromatic stuff used...- jimbo

how to clean charring around rim of pipes.
Rustic or blast rims I don't fool with. With smooth rims, after smoking I fold a Kleenex in half twice and touch it to my tongue, wetting about a quarter of it. I rotate the pipe with the rim against the wet tissue held in the other hand. I do it 2 or 3 times with clean sections of the tissue...- jimbo

Hard To Find Tobacco's Equivalent or "Match"?
Hmm. I'd never heard of a "match" for my beloved Penzance. I guess I'll have to try Quiet Nights. One match that I have found: It had been years since I smoked any Dunhill's 965, but as soon as I lit up that free sample of Sutliff's No.5 that I got in the mail, I said "965!" It must be...- jimbo

What got you started?
I'm 58. My first love was cigars. My dad smoked Chesterfield cigarettes when I was growing up and I had no hunger for them, but when somebody came within range smoking a cigar, my nose perked up. I loved the aroma. I KNEW I was going to smoke cigars one day. In pre-school I cut out cigar ads...- jimbo

How do others react to your pipe?
Wow. Legal action would probably be the best course for a victim of such a pipe snatching/destruction... but I don't know if I could prevent instant physical retaliation after such an incident. It makes no difference if it was an S. Bang or a corncob. It is an assault.- jimbo

Are All Pipe Cleaners the Same?
Not all pipe cleaners are created equal. I remember having some Peterson brand cleaners years ago that were about as effective as a wet noodle in attempting to put them down a pipe. They would bend and kink even on the most open stems. Very annoying. Comoy makes some rayon cleaners which...- jimbo

What do use to light you're pipe?
Around the house, I have several "antique" cafe match strikers filled with Diamond kitchen matches (strike anywhere). I gave up on matches while driving after catching my pants on fire. Well, it was the dried cow manure dust on my pants that the broken match head set. It flashed and was out in...- jimbo

Walt Disney World pipe
Jeremiah, Neat pic, but the man with the pipe is not Walt Disney. Walt is the tall man standing in front of that man, looking at the artwork on the table. -
Violet, a Beautiful Blonde Lady, Elegantly Smokes 7 Seas Regular
@greggors: How did I notice? Simple. The unnatural posture of her hand while lighting up. (And the probable burning of the fingers, which have always induced a cussing fit from me when I try such a frantic means of inducing combustion. :lol:) Forgive my nit picking (she's a beautiful model)...- jimbo

Violet, a Beautiful Blonde Lady, Elegantly Smokes 7 Seas Regular
PLEASE! Get the ladies a decent pipe lighter instead of that El Cheapo disposable! It detracts immeasurably from an otherwise "class" presentation! :evil:- jimbo
