Love, all over again.
Dang I be lucky. Tonight I told the wifely one that I was going to get a few corn cobs at the end of the month, to get me through until spring, before springing for a new briar. "Nay", says she. "The corn cobs are strictly utilitarian pipes, aren't they?" "Yes" says I, thinking this was not a...- macnutz

I think I will be in trouble with the wife
Damn, I think men have died for less. We will all light up in honour of your courage and fool hardiness, should you die in the process of bringing it into the house. :worship:- macnutz

eBay cob pipes
The China cobs are shitty. The shank is cut wrong. It will burn out very quickly. In the bent pipes, the 'bent' is only in the plastic mouth piece. The shank is level, not angled, and once again it is inserted wrong and some will be lose as soon as you get them. Also, being from China, you do... -

You've Gotta Love Eurocrats
Considering some of the stone age ignorance that come from American Senators and Congressional reps and from government high ups all over the world, brains and education may be a handicap for government officials of every persuasion.- macnutz

Alcohol & Salt treatments "Don'ts"
I was lucky. The only time I did the salt and alcohol thing, I left it in for three days, just out of ignorance. It popped out like a little rock cylinder, a perfect cast of the inside of the bowl. Never did light it up as it was immediately stolen from a jacket pocket at a party, before I ever...- macnutz

New pipes tastes bad...Why?
I've heard this complaint so frequently that it has put me off to new Petes. I've decided to wait until I'm pretty sure the dipped ones are gone before chancing another Pete. Having said that, I love the one I have. I like the 'system' and the P-lip is very good. But I'm waiting a few more...- macnutz

Cherry Blends: the ultimate hit and miss
Cherry blends are why I don't smoke aros, with the sole exception of 1792 Flake. The smell of cherry tobacco makes me gag. I know the aros are loved by many but for me it's tobacco I want, not a desert menu. I don't understand why but the smell of cherry flavoured tobacco smoke is almost an...- macnutz

I Saw a Tornado
I've lived in Oklahoma and Alabama. In deed I have seen a couple of tornadoes. Living on the west coast of Canada such things are super rare. I don't miss the twisters but I do miss the thunderstorms that spawn the twisters.- macnutz

Best Bowl Of The Day?
My story is similar to yours withnail. As a cig smoker the cigs with my morning coffee were the most enjoyed ones of the day. I like a pipe after every meal but probably my favourite bowl of the day is the last one. BTW is your screen name a reference to the movie, "Withnail and I"?- macnutz

Pipe Bag Stolen
One of the reasons that I advocate a lot of training and practice is so that you, not your emotional state, is in control of the situation in which a firearm might come out. Your brain is your first and most important weapon. It needs training just as the body requires it. The idea of shooting...- macnutz

Bulldog or Rhodesian?
Pipeinhand, Just don't tell Jake or let him read this page. It's not like they will grow up to challenge him for dominance some day. My Lab hates bulldogs too. :)- macnutz

Pipe Bag Stolen
If you are going to carry be sure to get some training/practice. Something beyond shooting at a bulls eye from twenty five yards. Most fatal hand gun shootings happen within seven yards. Response needs to be trained or it may be clumsy and hesitant at the worst time. It's hard to train for the...- macnutz

My Best Little Buddy Can See Now
My wife and I don't question expense regarding the health of our fur monsters. We aren't well off, by any stretch of the imagination, but the mutts are not like family, they are family in every sense save genetics. Happily none of the 'kids' look like me.- macnutz

Gods and Generals and Gettysburg
Script writers and directors never allow mere facts to get in the way of a good story. It's why I never watch anything from either the History Channel or the Science Channel, 'tis all BS to entertain rather than inform the proverbial masses or is that them asses. :D- macnutz
