    Dropped Brand New Pipe

    The AKC manual for sporting dogs says that "scars earned in honorable pursuits shall not count against the show dog." I submit that this is a battle scar that becomes part of this pipe's story. It would be a shame to me to buff it out.

    USPS At It Again..

    Right...and my WCC order from last Thursday; before the burnt ends firestorm won't arrive here on Virginia until Wednesday.

    Why?

    Why? Well, mostly for comparison and ranking. Example: How many bowls do you smoke? 7. Ok well I only smoke 5 and I feel like it's a lot. But since it's not your 7 then I am not that bad. Honestly, # of bowls is irrelevant; the pertinent question is about volume of tobacco. I've been...

    Hunting scope for 30-06

    Wes Dottle nailed it. What are you shooting and how critical is it? Do you need to adjust regularly for your targets or do you sight in once a year at @00 yards and then go deer hunting. Your intended use will really drive the best scope recommendations.

    USPS At It Again..

    I can't stand USPS anymore! It takes them 5 days to ship a product from Richmond to Virginia Beach. 90 miles, 5 days. The Pony Express was faster. Even worse is paying for UPS only to have them outsource the "final mile" to the USPS. Product hits my town in a day from UPS, then USPS...

    How Long Have You Smoked a Pipe?

    Off and on for 38 years. When I first started I was 12 and trying to emulate the men in my life. I bought a cob at the sweetshop. Stole some half and half from the tin under the living room table and puffed away behind the barn or up in the silo. It didn't take and I took up dip. Fast...

    SPC Price Points

    It's not just SPC. There are a lot of brands that are approaching $10/oz. I go through the same mental masterbation when I consider pressing the buy button...is this Cobblestone better than my regular rotation? Yes, it is, but is it really 4x better than my $40/lb bulk? Well, no, not for all...

    Jim's C&D Anthology 2023 Review.

    I agree with what's been said here. While I am not the super-taster that Jim is, his reviews have been immensely helpful. Because he has basically reviewed everything, there is a consistency to my ability to compare based on what he says even if I don't directly sense what he does when smoking...

    Ruminations on the Taste of Corn Cob Pipes

    I absolutely agree with this. I went through the same assessment. Started with a cob. Decided to get some grownup high dollar briar. None smoked, for me, as consistently as my beat up old cobs. So, the briars were basically retired. Smoked cobs exclusively. On a lark, tried a meerschaum...

    Your Significant Other’s Preferred Blend?

    My wife generally likes all of them. The one that consistently gets an "ooh that smells nice, what are you smoking?" Is Virginia No.1. Not my favorite, but evidently a crowd pleaser.

    Changing Taste

    I am pretty minimalist in most aspects of my life. I have a handful of blends that I like a lot and are my regular rotation. I do find myself caught in a quest for "better." So, I order my regular stuff and often add in something else in case it is "better"...and it rarely is but then I feel...

    Looking For Search Assistance

    Consider the feedback so far...I grew up surrounded by Half and Half smokers. To this day it is a smell of home and my youth. When I took up the pipe it was my natural first choice. I found it to be pretty meh...and I did not get any of that sweet bright aroma in my mouth or retrohale. You...

    Good Coffee & Good Inexpensive Machines?

    You are getting great advice here. We use the pour over for most of our coffee. When we want a treat we use the Bialetti Moka Pot which is about $40 at Target. They come in different sizes to suit how much you want to make and they generally las for a generation or three. Note that they...

    Washington and Shipping Laws

    These laws are intended to address commerce, not gifts between friends and family. It 'might' be against the law for me to send my brother a bottle of scotch for Christmas as it's a different state, but I am certain that the ATF has bigger things to worry about than this. Now if I was to try...
