    New Smoker, No Taste

    Welcome to the forum andrew. I don't think the 'no-taste' phenomenon is all that rare actually. My oldest son had the same experience. He just experimented with different tobacco's until he found the right chemistry. Keep kickin' around until you hit it. Don't give up....

    Ignore Those Pesky ADS

    Ha! I didn't mention the lighting mike..... I consider myself a tough Marine. But even I take cover when nature cracks a whip! I know what you mean though... I hunt and fish in the rain quit often... (I had ball lighting on my pipe one time)

    Giant Meer Collection - Beautiful Work

    If I had 40 Grand not tagged for something else.... I'd offer a lot less and bet he'd take it. It has to be an estate collection.... The collector himself would most likely never sell these....

    I don't live in a town, but live near one. Emerson, Arkansas... population 355. Although I have a home, I don't stay there very much (as my poor wife can attest to, begrudgingly)... I'm at the lake for the time being.... Have been since January 5th (went hone for the Super Bowl and Daytona...

    Preparing for the Tobacco Apocalypse

    Impressive cellar peckinpahhombre...... I currently have 52.2lbs in the cellar. I guess I need to put the tobacco businesses to work. I really like your inventory program... What is it? I use the 'Pipe Tool' app on my iPhone.

    Do You Smoke Through Your Cold/Flu?

    I don't smoke when ill and feeling bad, but I had bronchitis a couple of time. I didn't feel all that bad so lit-up. Worst mistake I ever made! Even though most of us don't inhale, you do get a dose inadvertently, just by the process of breathing.

    Favorite Bourbon Whiskey?

    Knob Creek for me. It's really just Jim Beam that's been in the barrel longer, but it's a bit smoother to me. and I like the bottle :-)

    Replacement Stems, How Much do They Reduce the Value?

    I may have an alternate view: The reason for "needing" a replacement may be because the original stem may be beyond it's serviceable life. The answer to your original question, does it affect the value..... Yes! But I wouldn't leave a chewed-up, bent, broken stem on an unusable pipe.... Do...
