    Is This a Legit Dunhill?

    Ya know... there's a lot quicker way. This little item from the late 19th Century is for a "Tobacco Smoke Enema". The procedure was used to treat gut pain, and attempts were often made to resuscitate victims of near drowning. (Drowning in Scotch I'm sure). To physicians of the time, the...

    Two New Pipes This Week

    Nice pipes hemsworth.... Everyone's different of course, but my wife remains supportive as long as I'm home when the mail man comes and I destroy all evidence of him knocking on the door....

    MM Legend Burn Out

    I've had some of my cobs for close to 40 years... Most of them will last a life time, but you do get a lemon once in a while. When I get new ones, I usually get 5 to 10 per order and break them in one at a time. You get a good feel as to how good it'll be in quick order.

    Life's Cycle

    Nice thoughts Teddy, but I, for one, refuse to go gracefully. I'll go down fighting! I feel just as puffy does, I hate the thought of someone else smoking my pipes!

    Big Pipes Less Used?

    For me, it depends on what I'm doing. On the lake or in the woods I'll take a couple size 4 pipes, or a tall cob. The same for just piddling around the yard. In my Lazy Chair it'll be a large brier or meerschaum. Like cigrmaster, I always fill to the rim and smoke to the bottom. I seldom have...

    Cleaning The Rim Of Your Pipe Bowl

    I've just about always had the habit of 'doing little circles' on the thigh of my jeans when I finish my smoke in a brier. Keeps the rim mostly clean and shinny, lengthening the time between proper rim cleaning. But stem polish is a great idea.

    Empty Tins...

    My family knows where the box is to get all they want. But once that ran out.... My sister puts them on the table at yard sales. Folks always find some use for them......

    So, You Have Better Things To Do.....

    I have no idea why I've been avoiding coming here.... Things going on in the family I guess. My life has always been blessed and perfect. I seldom get a wrench thrown in the cogs... but have recently. I have to apologize for not being around as I was before.... Things are better now. TopD

    Holy Crap! Anyone Seen This Yet?!

    I wouldn't stand as close as the folks that taped it! It's gotta be going into an underground stream, and will take anything in it's path. Large chunks of ice didn't plug it, and a person would be gone in an instant! The sink hole under the house that took a man from his bed in Florida come to...

    Pouch Tobacco Storage Life

    I buy pouch tobacco to put in my boat because I don't care to take tins out there. But I put the pouches in water tight containers that you can get in the sporting department of Wally World. It keeps them quit well if kept out of the sun....
