Some opinions and a hello after an absence.
Hextor, Don't worry about it burning out. It will but it takes far more that you'd imagine. If you want to get the absolute most out of it, maintain the bottom with 'pipe mud' (ash and water/saliva, give it a search) and do your best not to smoke hot and fast. Once a bit of a cake builds up, it...- jchaplick

Duplicate pipes
As others have mentioned, I have many duplicate cobs. As far as briars, while there are no true duplicates in my collection, I have a 7 day set of Boswells I love. They are all different from each other, but two of the small ones are almost identical and two of the mid size are almost...- jchaplick

Why are Dunhill pipes so expensive?
If you're asking hesitantly, you already know the answer.... (how many cob jokes do you think I can make before getting in trouble?)- jchaplick

Some opinions and a hello after an absence.
That a good ratio. Honestly I still have far more briars than cobs, and plan to keep it that way. One of the things I like the most about cobs, is that I do not feel the need to rotate them that often, I usually stick to legends, they are nice and light to clench and their bowl gives me a good...- jchaplick

Spigot pipes?
Its really just the fitting between the bowl and stem. It doesnt serve any added purpose, simply a different design. That being said, I do love the way they look.- jchaplick

Some opinions and a hello after an absence.
Coincidence enough, shortly after writing this post, the MM grab bag I ordered arrived at my house. Thats a pretty solid bargain. I ended up with a great dane spool, an ozark, a MacArthur 5 star, 3 bent legends, and 4 straight legends. Anyone who wants to start a decent cob collection should...- jchaplick

Why are Dunhill pipes so expensive?
I have a couple Dunhills. They smoke great, absolutely fantastic. They are one of the few brain pipes I own that smoke as consistently well as my cobs.....HA!- jchaplick

Some opinions and a hello after an absence.
Hello everyone. It's been a while since I've posted at all here. When I was more active, I was in college and a member of a pipe club. Since I very been gone, I've seriously started my life. I have a fiance, and a career, and a residence of my own. It's been a good year or so for me. While I...- jchaplick

Why We Like What We Like
For me what causes me to buy a pipe is its looks, I like nice grains, but lately I have been liking chunky pipes, especially ball shapes that are sandblasted. I love how they feel in my hand. However, when I decide to keep a pipe it generally are the ones that smoke the best regardless of...- jchaplick

Every tobacco tastes like saltwater
Had this myself a year or two ago, and everything definitely did taste salty as far as smoke goes. Diagnosed the same as well. It sure is disconcerting. For me I used some Anbesol and took about a month off of smoking and everything is all right again. Hope everything works out for you!- jchaplick

How often is "occasional"?
I have to say I dont thinnk I have ever been addicted to my pipe. I consider occasionally maybe 4 times a week and that is probably my average. Sometimes more sometimes less. That being said during stressful times I up it to two or three times a day for months at a time. Ive never had a...- jchaplick

Tobacco-ing Up A Coworker
Good to hear it. It's funny I actually logged on tonight to post basically this same thing. Got a coworker off of cigarettes and started on pipes. We ordered some PS LBF and some Mississippi River together, he ordered a cob and I gave him a briar. He seems to enjoy but I'm keeping my figures...- jchaplick
