    Dumbest Newbie Question in the History of the World

    Okay, my answer's worth about a dime. If it's an estate pipe, my bet is with hawk. The previous lover of this pipe wanted to raise the bottom to better fit the height of the draft hole. Being an ingenious "make it work" kind of guy he just dropped in a dime and kept on smoking it. By the way...

    Breaking in a new pipe

    Gecko said "...This process has severed me well..." Jeesh, I always heard that breaking in a new pipe was painful, but that must have really hurt. :rofl:

    General questions

    Perhaps the "fish" has some strange natural immunity to PAD. That will surely wear off if he stays here long enough. Welcome "fish". Most of us suffer terribly from this affliction of "pipe acquisition disorder". Stay strong my friend and enjoy your smokes. The first step we have all taken is...

    Early Morning Smoke

    I smoke Nording's hunter blend Labrador in the mornings with my coffee. I like to add a touch of hazelnut syrup to my coffee and I find that Labrador's nutty hazelnut aroma and flavor goes great with it. There is also a hint of "figiness" to the blend. Actually I like it all day, but it is...

    Micro Mesh on Acrylic

    I plan on spending some time working on my pipes over the holiday weekend. I have searched and searched for an answer to this but can't find it. Will the micro mesh sheets be too much for acrylic stems. I have some that have some light scratching and teeth marks and am thinking of using the...

    B&M over Internet

    I went to a B&M here in The Woodlands, TX. Although they advertise themselves as a cigar shop they did have quite a selection of bulk tobaccos, tins and a few pipes. When I told the man I was looking for a stronger tobacco, something with a bit of a nic hit. He scoffed at me stating that "all...

    Diary of a new Piper

    I had the same problem with relights until I figured out I was packing to tightly. I had been using the three step method. First tamp like a baby, second like a lady, and third like a man. I now gravity feed my pipe until up to the top of the bowel then tamp like a baby. Step two, after another...

    Just tried SG Brown No. 4 first time

    I just tried SG Brown No. 4 for the first time. I had been a bit cautious with all the warnings about vitamin N. However, lately I have been experimenting with some nasal snuff and have enjoyed the nic hit in the morning. So I decided to up the anty and order some twist tobacco. I normally like...

    Where do you smoke?

    I live alone and am the General Manager of a small business, so I smoke pretty much anywhere I want. Except inside public buildings that is.

    What's everyone doing on Sunday morning?

    Laundry, house cleaning, coffee and a couple of bowels. I'm single so I have to do the work myself. Gets pretty cluttered around here during the week. I think I'll go down the street to an estate sale going on later. Never know what treasures might be there. Maybe I'll find a never smoked...
