    9mm vs 6mm pipes

    Never had an issue with 9mm. I occasionally will get a 6mm filter that is restrictive. Not sure if it really helps, but I started trying rolling 6mm filters between my fingers to make sure the granules are loose before I install it, and pack the bowl a bit lighter.

    Clear Mouthpiece Stem Rubber Bits

    I bought food grade silicone tubing off Amazon. Just cut to length. Works ok. The feel is more resistant than rubber, and the edge is sharp where you cut it, not enough to cut you, just a bit annoying. I guess you could wet sand it, but wasn't annoying enough to bother. Overall works well...

    Dear Diary, Today I've again Tasted Manure.

    Was packing a pipe with 558, and my wife started aggressively searching the house and checking all the shoes for dog poop. Took a while, but I eventually started laughing out loud, couldn't hold it in any longer😅. It is wonderful by the way, one of my favorites.

    How Do You Evaluate The Risk?

    For me, weight is a big factor in acid reflux. I know my limit, and take steps to loose weight when I start to get close (235ish). Goes away once I loose some. Just walking can help, any kind of regular exercise is good, especially lunting (smoking while walking) 😀 I hope you are able to...

    Sorry, night shift is rotting my brian, lol. I originally posted with Merry Monk in mind. I do have a can of King's Fool waiting to be cracked open. Hope it is as good as Merry Monk is (which is outstanding)

    Drying Tobacco

    Working that out myself. Keep trying to remind myself to start a journal. Currently smoking SPC Rum Vannila and definitely a difference between dry and striat out of the tin. Dry has more of a vanilla, wet I am definitely tasting the rum. Gotta be very gentle and sip it wet, but this one is...

    Praise for Vauen Customer Service

    Do you have the address you used? I am wondering if I just used a dead one. Tried writing to then about a cracked mortise in a new pipe, and never got a response. Hoping I just didn't have an up to date email address.

    Buying pipes overseas into US

    Thanks. Sorry, one of the issues with this type of communication is no tone/inflection. Not ranting, just trying to make sense of a strange and concerning situation, and possibly help others out who may run into this briar patch. As far as the letter, it is a matter of keeping my anonymity as...

    Buying pipes overseas into US

    There was zero communication. No apologies. All they would discuss with me when I was able to get a hold of someone, is it has been intercepted by the Postal Inspector. They were playing a game of cloak and dagger with me. I only know of the declaration from the other two boxes. The last one...

    Oh and you should see the tracking, it possibly broke a Guiness Word Record, lols.

    Buying pipes overseas into US

    Was delivered today, after over two months, a threatening letter from the postal inspector (5 years in prison), and much lost sleep. I will never really know what started this mess but, here are a few take aways: •If you buy a pipe from overseas make sure the seller accurately fills out the...

    Brand New, Unsmoked!

    Had something similar happen. Bought two pipes off of someone on ebay. One "lightly", the other unsmoked. Nowhere near accurate. I don't know what they smoked in both of them, but it is foul. I could smell it before I even unwrapped them, and they are not old. Surprised they made it to me...

    What Kind of Pipes do you Like and Why?

    Vauen and Savinelli are my two favorites. Vauen is what I have the most of ny far. I have been able to obtain most of what I like, so slowing down as far as collecting. I am attracted to unusual, but attractive shapes, nothing too wierd. No two are alike. When Vauen comes out with a new...

    Finally a Nic Hit

    I don't know how you were able to do that. One flake of Veermeister did me in today (they are fairly large). Was not pleasant at all. Probably a combo of that and heat exhausted. Wife said my face was pale white, and I was really feeling sick. I only told her it was the heat, lol. I also...

    Buying pipes overseas into US

    Briar and bamboo, poker style, hard rubber (Vulcanite) bit, nothing exotic, no ivory ect... It is custom/collectable, otherwise I wouldn't be too worried about it. I talked to a coworker tonight, that used to work for USPS, and he said that it was probably just someone who didn't know any...

    Buying pipes overseas into US

    I did consult with a lawyer. He said the worst that will happen, is they will seize it, lawful or not, even out of spite. It was thru eBay, and I talked with them, and they will refund me if that happens. We have been making plans to move, I just see this as a sign, lol.
