    He said in episode two that a live stream was not an option.

    Happy Canadian Thanksgiving Weekend !!

    Amen Ghost. I made sure to do absolutely nothing this weekend and just spend time with my family. It was a great weekend, but I'm not sure I'm ready for a dose of reality tomorrow. :lol:

    Looking for some strong tobaccos

    The only blend so far to make my blood pressure race a bit has been Hermit Tobacco's Ten Russians. It's your stereotypical lat-bomb. I haven't tried Five Brothers before but it is said to have ultra-high nicotine.

    Hey Guys/Gals, This is Not a Meer

    @!#% the site ripped out half my reply! I thought this was funny. From a book called Tobacco Leaves (page 31). "I care not for your meerschaum pipe, Tho' carved with cunning hand; With amber tip for dainty lip And bright with silver band. The modest, simple, homely clay, I prize above...

    Tsuge Sale at smokingpipes

    I wanted to get one but smokingpipes.com doesn't take Paypal. :| They said because they sell tobacco Paypal won't let them, but pipesandcigars.com AND 4Noggins accept Paypal. :?

    Got Some Sad News This Weekend....

    Fixed that for you. :wink: Retail, regardless of the goods for sale, is tough and demanding, especially on non-chain, small hobby shops.

    I'm Back! Did You Miss Me?

    I have to say, Kevin, that I do like your usual level of activity. Some sites I have been to (non-tobacco ones) the administrator sticks his nose into every thread and really quashes much debate and activity because he is THE authority. Other sites I've been to the administrator is as mythical...

    Hobby vs. Habit: Pipe Smoking

    Habit and hobby need not be mutually exclusive terms. One just needs to look at the gourmet food industry to see how a hobby can be made from a necessary habit. Also, certainly both types of smokers exist: those who smoke pipes as a nicotine delivery service and those who have no prior smoking...

    Three dollar Dunhill

    Nice to see diligence paying off! Nice find. By the way, did you try to haggle them down to $2? :wink:

    Cooler smoking in a Rusticated/Sandblasted/ect. pipe vs. a smooth?

    This thread touched on this issue.

    Cobs and Deniclean

    Thanks rothnh, I'll try that. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. I finally just got the cake built up in that one! :crying:

    Cobs and Deniclean

    Hi folks. I had a cob that seemed to smoke not-so-nice today, so I tried cleaning it with Deniclean and a coarse pipe cleaner, but when I tried to put the stem back in, it wouldn't fit! 8O Did the cob just swell with liquid exposure? Did the coarse cleaner make the entrance too rough to fit...

    Too Many Irons in the Fire

    Swiper no swiping! Swiper no swiping! Swiper no swiping! Is there a club we can join? Hello, my name's Mick, and I've been forced to watch 549 hours of Dora.

    Too Many Irons in the Fire

    Colcolt, it sounds like he already has a good life. Dogs are pack animals and very communal. You're already way ahead by giving him so much love, care and affection. I've had pets the whole time I was growing up and they are definitely less needy of the kind of attention you talked about in...

    Too Many Irons in the Fire

    No, not really, because I always put my family first. My "me" time is usually when my son is in bed. Hopefully when he gets older, like sinister said, we can find some shared hobbies and then do things together. One reason I have taken up pipe smoking is exactly that it requires little to no...

    Baccy Order on The Way

    They do, indeed. I've got a bunch of McClelland Grand Orientals on the way! :clap:

    So many good blends, so little time!

    Me too. What I usually end up doing is opening stuff that I know won't change in a bad way, smoke a few bowls of it, and either put it away or put it into my rotation. Currently I have about 6 tobaccos in regular rotation (that get smoked about once or twice per week). It can be extra hard on...
