    What brings the flavor out?

    Not much too add, 'cept I commend those who can drink beer while enjoying a bowl! I just can't do it. But a good whiskey or whisky, a nice wine or port goes well w/both bowl an cigar! Coffee and lat weed are made for each other as well.

    Funky Smelling Meerschaum

    Shill, I'm no Meer expert by any means, but some meers are just plain cheap! If you want a great meer made in BLOCK...(there is a diff), check out ALTINOK's meers. You're not the first I've heard say that they have a nasty smell emitting their meer and it just didnt go away! I have a real...

    Golf, tobacco, and family!

    Sorry to hear that. Perhaps all will settle down b4 it's too late. My 'baby' brother is 50, hes the youngest of 7, my folks are still alive and can whip up a great Irish meal and handle the 'craic' w/the best of us. There is something about a fine ceegar to mellow the meanest and the smell of...

    Easiest Bowl Shape to keep lit.

    Marmal, I was thinking the same thing. perhaps a HEAD shot for a 1 hit wonder. All kid'n aside, I have no experience, however somehow a pipe which holds a filter may help?

    Golf, tobacco, and family!

    Being from a large Cat'lik Irish family, we're spread out across the States like $.98 in nickles. We all met in Greenville S.C. starting on WED, 16 Mar for the big St Paddy's Day party on Thur. We ate, drank, played a helluva lot of golf, attended my niece's wedding and smoked plenty of...

    the great age debate

    Hadnt read Lawrence's article, however, haveing rode HD's for over 35 years and approx 100 hrs of INK on my can-vass, I have grown immune to these looks/retorts. If you/I am in a 'legal smoking area', then yuk them if they cant handle it. Often times we have to turn the other cheek until they...

    Aberlour A'Bunadh or Lagavulin Scotch 16 Year

    I'll suggest door #2, that being said the Lagavulin, to me, reminds me of nothing more than Johnny Walker red...too much of an iodine aftertaste. There are a lot of great Scotches out there w/intense flavor and compliment a pipe. My fav. is Glenlivit 12 or 18 y.o. I've played in most Scotches...

    corncob experiment

    Contrary to popular belief, this also workds w/ANY pipe, MEERS as well. An occasional cleaner in to dry and continue to march. As I've said in another thread, there are time where a pipe 'MIGHT" get an hr. rest between smokes. Some days the feel of that particular pipe is working so well, and...

    Need a Little Help from You Guys

    This request seems awfully close to violating our very own Rule #6. I can post Second Amendment articles and those states who have no regard to it, hence meeting the criteria of the original request, however if we have any member(s) who oppose guns, it may get sticky!

    No ashtray in new car

    In my '07 truck I had a 'ciger lighter' but no ash tray and 2 'power outlets'..same ting! My new truck has no such things, but does have a 110 outlet for a computer, hair dryer, electric shaver, hell, I might just get me a TV, they are not nearly as dangerous as a smoke while driving.
