    Carver's sexual frustration? :lol:

    During the burn...

    Yeah, although what we smoke turns into ash, we don't actually smoke the ash, AND the fresh tobacco near the draft hole filters out a lot of nasties, so if you mix it around, you are also mixing the worst tobacco (the stuff at the very bottom , a.k.a. dottle) with the good tobacco above.

    During the burn...

    You're lucky (well, more skilled) to get three quarters down without needing a relight or tamp! Personally, I tamp a lot instead of relighting, just to keep the embers in touch with fresh tobacco. That said, I still need a relight or maybe two. I would never swirl or shake because I don't want...

    2 years worth of PAD in one week.

    Those Nordings are sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet! You have the patience of a saint to wait 2 years!

    Need some opinions/advice.

    Regardless of how you look, per se, it is imperative to look neat and clean. That said, an interview is by and large not so much about your ability as it is about making sure that you are a good "fit" for the organization and that is something very hard to discern in advance. In short, no, I...

    Thinning My Herd - 40 Nice Pipes Available; 10/6/12

    Gorgeous pipes! I'm quite interested in purchasing a couple just as soon as I find a buyer for this extra kidney I've got. :wink: What keeps going through my mind is, if this is what's being thinned, what the heck is the stuff too good to sell? 8O

    Shawn O'Day Plugs

    Nah, man. No one is a big 0. Not to sound cheesy, but people just need to find what they love and realize their motivations and then the sky is the limit (unless you're an astronaut :wink: ). I'm really curious about this blend. I have to admit, when I read you were going to try blending...

    So many good blends, so little time!

    I agree, completely! There is a lot of group think on the Internet and a lot of great blends get mentioned once or twice in a thread, while others get so many mentions. Like, recently we had two back to back Balkan threads and they were Black House love fests. I haven't tried Black House and...

    Picked 6 out of 30 pipes today.

    Cool pipes and amazing price! I've seen those leather wrapped ones on ebay before, but I'm not sure if they're good or bad. Please let us know after you clean them up.

    What are You Smoking? October, 2012

    McClelland's Three Oaks Syrian in a non-finished MM Pride cob. The perfect end to a pancake breakfast! :-)

    Check out this site .

    I can't tell if that's a serious question. :? Click here to get to his main page, then scroll down to the bottom of the page and you'll see the site is part of a web ring (called PipeSmoke Ring). Jeez, web rings take me back, like I'm ready to play some hot newly released Wolfenstein! :rofl:

    Check out this site .

    Two things: *Holy shit, that's an old school site! It's even part of a "ring"!! That's like a blast from the early-mid '90s past![/*] *I would love to order the big sample pack, but there is no way I would risk paying that much duty by customs.[/*]

    Yeah, how come customs doesn't check my suitcase full of tobacco when I cross the border each day?! :lol:

    Recent Antique Shop Find- Poker

    That's a cool find. I really like the B&D stamp on the bottom. Definitely harkens back to a different era when pipe smokers were the mainstream of society, not on the fringe.
