    Latakia Bowl Size

    Short and wide are good for latakia in my experience. Brandy- and pot-shapes are the best smokers I have for latakia. Dublins are, for me, the worst.

    Classic Movies

    Here's another vote for The Third Man. Nobody's mentioned The Big Sleep - another great piece of noir. For comedy, you can't beat Bringing Up Baby.

    Lost My Sense of Smell to Perique

    I tried a very small bowl of blending perique to learn its attributes. Just once. I retro-haled a mouthful. Just once... Time is a great healer, as they say.

    Question About Tolkien's Pipe

    15 years of teaching high school band will do that to a person. :lol:

    Any Jazz Fans?????

    Jud is right. She was in our town last fall with a guitarist named Diego Figueiredo. They did a mini-residency at our school before performing one of the best live shows I've seen in years. She's one to watch!

    Question About Tolkien's Pipe

    Correct. I was suggesting the pull was the remedy for his having been sharp. As I said, nuthin' to see here, just keep moving... :-)

    What Are You Smoking? July 2013

    FM Cellar in an Ansell's pot. Wife just came in and said, "Is that your tobacco? That smells so good!"

    Any Jazz Fans?????

    Yeah, I was conflicted, but, based on the Blues Alley album, decided there was enough there to include her name. She's hard to categorize and didn't live long enough to become known for one style.

    Turning A Good Dunhill Into A Great Dunhill ~ Courtesy Walker Pipe Repair

    That's a fine looking cumberland stem. It doesn't matter what anybody says - if you weren't inclined to smoke it before, but you are now, you did the right thing.

    What Do You Do For A Living?

    I'm with you on the elementary level. Maybe when I get older and more mellow... French horn was my major instrument, but, teaching strings, I spend all my time with the cello now.

    Reflection On the Last Few Shows

    On another topic, now we know whom to ask if we need someone to send old-fashioned ransom notes. 8O (I may be behind the times, but that typeface is new to me!)

    MOLD! :( JackKnife Plug + SmokingPipes.com

    I just popped open a can of JKP with the same lot number/date as the OP's. Everything was fine - no sign of anything but tobacco. I'm going to let the rest of it age - not worried any more.

    Why I Hate Peterson System Pipes

    My father accidentally left his Pete system pipe here after a visit, so I decided to clean it up for him (he's notorious for never using pipe cleaners). I used around 50 bristle and plain cleaners, 30 Q-tips, and then an alcohol retort before I went back to using more pipe cleaners. It wasn't...

    Senior Member???

    Phonomet, just tell us what you're smoking in the "What Are You Smoking" thread every time you fire up a bowl - your status will change and you'll be providing information to those who like to know that sort of thing (including me - I love to see what everybody's smoking).
