    Jobs

    I build chemical laboratories. Been doing it for 26 years. I'm a project manager and general manager of the company. Building labs is basically construction, but with a lot of specialized systems and materials. I really enjoy it. It's not like work to me, it's just what I do. Fun to think of the...

    Matches?

    I used to use a Bic type lighter all the time, thought it was most convenient. However, I found some Mexican matches called Maya Matches which were recommended by someone here. I use them exclusively now. They are found down here in Texas at HEB grocery stores. They are made on cactus quills and...

    Most Relaxing Tobacco?

    I find Dunhill's Royal Yacht very relaxing. A straight virginia blend with a little something added for sweetness. However, not at all what I would call an aromatic. Fairly strong in the nic department, but not overwhelming. For me the nicotine provides for the relaxation. By the way, welcome...

    Greetings Fellow Pipe Connoisseurs!

    Welcome aboard. The bad part is that this forum does definitely spread PAD. And as for TAD, forget about it, it's terminal. However, we will try to make the time you have enjoyable. :puffy:

    Lane Limited - Hazelnut

    Thanks for posting this Durham. I've been thinking of trying this one. One of my favorites is Hunter's Blend Labrador which also has a hazelnut flavor.

    Covering Bowl With Fingers While Drawing.

    What I believe is happening when one covers the bowl leaving a smaller opening for air to pass is that the velocity of the air increases across the ember. The draw pressure is the same so the volume of air going through the bowl is equal to the volume when the bowl is wide open. The partial...

    Out of Respect for Kevin and Forum Members

    How much mush can a mush brain mush, if a mush brain could mush much. :nana:

    Tinderbox Blend No. 1

    Thanks for the reply mso. It may be that the illusive taste of the burly is why it took me a day or two to really turn on to Blend No. 1. I'll have to purchase a sample of BLWB with my next TAD to compare. I could order the Blend No. 1 from Tinder Box, but they don't have the other tobacco's I...

    Tinderbox Blend No. 1

    I was gifted a couple of ounces of this blend by my boss who says he's smoked nothing else for ten years. I was doubtful at first. The aroma from the bag was rather dull and uninviting. However, I dutifully loaded up a bowl after work Thursday evening. At first I wasn't sure, but by about 1/3 of...

    Mythical Birth Year Pipe

    When I magnify the image the suffix number definetly looks like 29 to me. Using this link, dating a Dunhill, it would truly be a 1989 pipe. I would get the seller to verify the suffix if it were me.

    Peterson's Nutty cut

    Nutty Cut has become my "go to" blend. At first I didn't expect it to be, but I like it more and more. I always have an open tin of it. It has even pushed aside my former favorite, Hunter's Blend Labrador.

    Rock Solid And Unpleasant

    Waznyf I've had this happen before. I don't recall what tobaccos it usually occurs with. Sometimes what's in the bowl is just as you described, hard and untampable (is that a word). What I usually do is use the pick end of my tamper and break it up a bit, then tamp, relight and charge on. Seems...

    Rest in Peace George Jones

    One of my favorite of the old timers. He stopped loving her today. Just want to pay a short tribute to one of the greats.

    I Don't Feel Older

    I turn 56 in May and still feel like I'm in high school. I think its because I never had any kids of my own so I never really had to grow up. From what I can tell, as soon as you have your own kids you have to grow up and act like Dad. Don't know if its a good thing or a bad thing but sometimes...

    Interesting Problem

    Sometimes when I tamp I feel the tamper going deeper in the middle of the bowl where the ember has taken up residence. When this happens I tamp around the edge a bit and knock or scrape the unburned tobacco towards the hole in the center, tamp the center again while puffing lightly and continue...

    A Bit of an Anti-Smokers Rant

    It has always amazed me that a person that would never throw a can or piece of paper on the street will mindlessly toss a cig butt down or out the window of his car. Even worse is the dumping of full car ash trays in streets and parking lots. I can't figure out how people justify this.
