    Breaking in new pipe

    interesting that no one mentioned that after smoking a bowl in a new pipe, to place the pad of the thumb over the bowl and shake the hell out of the ash/dottle to start a cake. A method told to me several years ago..works or not, I dont really kno for certain, but when an old piper tells ya...

    Good Friday

    Probably PO some, but being a not-so-good Cat'lik Irish boy, I smoked CHARING CROSS and an AVA MARIA c'gar watching a ham and sweet taters on the grill. It was a very nice weekend tho, the grand baby hunted eggs..etc..

    Chess

    The nicotine hit

    After 30 yrs, your constitution may be getting slightly weaker. I've heard some say they eat something sweet when they have the kick, from a sugar packet to a candy bar. Here in Bama, the 'sweet tea' will do the trick, or induce a diabetic coma.

    Hobie, w/members like her, your greens fees SHOULD be expensive.

    Pro Baseball Ticket Prices

    Last season was an end of an era...a friend and I were going to a 3 game series (F-SU) when the METS came to Atlanta...had a 7 yr run, but last year they weren't in town on a weekend, then my buddy moved to TN. Stayed in a hotel behind the stadium for $135. per night...runs about $50. during...

    Tell me about your pleasurable aromatic blends.

    When I was an areo man, I smoked my fair share of Pipeworks & Wilke, quality tobacco and a pretty good selection as well. I will say tho, (IMO) anything w/cherry is the devil!

    Pairing like wine, beer, scotch, food...

    I do like some home grown Alabama muscadine wine, and Port! Goes well w/any latakia blend. i agree w/the OP, coffee and 1Q work well together. As I type, I'm have'n some Jonny black and Peacehaven...a marraige made!!

    my son

    Congrats on the reunification. Now if you were trying to intro him to the Military, or college, or some other thing that caused the riff, ya might wanna tone down the recommendations and let him smoke what he wants and perhaps he'll intro you to something he likes.

    Golf??

    WOW!! I did a search and NO golf threads....really? No one here plays golf or has any interest? Anyhow, just checking if anyone totes a pipe w/them on the course. I've seen guys who smoke their pipes while playing, but I dont, I'm a ceegar guy during 18 holes. If so, what do you do w/your...

    The Myth of Brand and Maker in Pipesmoking

    Well I suck! Read the first couple paragraphs, and have the same conclusion.. smoke what ya like, be it a Dunnie or a cob, just dont mess w/me for what I have in my face. I drove a Corvair once, and by gawd, it got me to where I wanted to go!
