    I've been known to use a AA battery.

    When Do You Have Your Most Relaxing Smoke?

    My most relaxing smoke is after dinner before bed. I live alone accept for my little dog. I have a nice comfortable lazy boy chair. I lay back in the lazy boy watch a little TV (usually Fox News) and have my dog laying at my feet on the foot rest of the chair. She's happy, I'm content, and all...

    Pipes and Astronomy

    I enjoyed the read undermidnight. I too often gaze at the sky in wonderment. Although, living in Houston with all the bright lights I seldom have the opportunity to see what you have described. On the rare occasions I have been out in the darkness of south Texas I have spent hours amazed by...

    Not because I'm a Blackblood...

    Finally broke down and ordered some Black House from SP.com. I've heard so much about it here I can't wait to try it. Went ahead and ordered 8oz's based on all the recommendations here. Should be delivered by UPS tomorrow. I'll let you guys know if I have black blood or not.

    Check Out My New Stanwell Estate Pipe

    This pipe has proven to be an excellent smoker. It feels so natural in my hands, about the size of a large egg. All my Stanwell's are older ones. I don't have any of the ones made in Italy. I will buy more Stanwell's, but will always look for the older estate pipes that have been properly...

    $165 Northern Briars Mistake

    Just my opinion here, but I think its a great looking pipe. That slight out of round problem wouldn't bother me a bit. I'd smoke it, enjoy it for what it is, and forget about it. If I ever even noticed the problem I would say it adds character to the handmade piece of art. Again, just my opinion.

    My 1st ebay estate

    Never...uh...seen a stealth pipe before. If they're what they should be I guess I never will. :roll:

    Really like my Stanwell Estate Zulu

    I have several older Stanwell estates bought off Ebay. They all smoke great. I'm definitely a Stan man. Never seen one that wasn't a great smoker. I don't have the Zulu yet, but it's a shape I like. I know you'll enjoy yours.

    Check Out My New Stanwell Estate Pipe

    Thanks guys, I really like my Stanwells. I have seven of them, all great light weight smokers. This one is proving to be no different. My first pipe was a Stanwell, so I guess I'm partial.

    Pipe stem and teeth question?

    I usually smoke with my pipe clenched in between my second and third molars canted off to the side slightly. It works quite well for me. Not much pressure needed. Having a bent pipe helps. You'll know when you find the sweet spot in your mouth. If clenching is strained or done with much effort...

    Check Out My New Stanwell Estate Pipe

    Hey guys, just lit up the Stanwell estate I got on Ebay. I got lucky again. This pipe is like new. It is marked with the older style Stanwell where the beginning and end of the name are wide and the middle is narrow. Also marked "Design Choice" next to "835". Smoking it right now with Blue Note...

    Are cloves safe?

    I'll pass. Tried clove cigs many years ago. It burned the bejeebers out of my lungs.

    Newbie With a Vicious Cycle Issue

    First, welcome purple! You might suggest he read some of this forum and if you are not the jealous type have him look at the Pipe Babes section to see other pretty woman smoking their pipes. There are many places where you can find information about pipe smoking being healthier than cigarettes...

    Dumbest Newbie Question in the History of the World

    I once called an ex-girlfriend a 2 bit whore. Then she slapped me up side the head with a bag of quarters! (Old joke but had to do it, sorry)

    Need to vent

    I wonder if you could counter-sue for slander or defamation of character. I'm no lawyer though, don't even play one on TV. Sorry this is happening to you. Edit: Looks like Mrenglish beat me to the thought.

    Classmate is on the Pipe

    That's how PAD starts. Someone says how would you like to try this? Then next thing you know your in so deep you have full blown PAD for life. Then you start dreaming about the possibilities of finding that perfect blend. Then before you know it TAD strikes. What do you bet, in two weeks he...

    Radice Bulldog

    dp PAD is terminal. You will never be over it. Even if you attend your local PAD 12 step meetings every day it is a struggle you will have to always deal with. Get used to saying "Hi, my name is dp and I have PAD". Might as well enjoy the ride and start looking for that next "final" PAD...

    S. Gawith Squadron Leader

    Thanks Roth. I think add both Good Morning and Squadron Leader to my TAD list. Can't ever have too much you know. I do love me some Black Duck in the evenings after work.
