I never buy online, that may one day change as I'm only 52.
I drove over three hours round trip for my last pipe purchase.
That was a cheap part, my wife went with me and did some "shopping" while we where in the "city". :roll:
I'm 52 and I don't think I have ever paid for a haircut.
When I was a kid my parents paid for it.
Then later my mother cut hair.
And for the last 30 years my wife has done it.
She has owned her own shop most of that time.
When its a girlfriend you got a lot more options.
Once it's a wife, your options are fewer and more expensive...
Beware of the Frog, it will ghost more than a pipe or one apartment, give it a chance and the whole building will smell like a bog.
You know your wife is pondering what you could build her now. That shelf may have ruined your life, but it is a nice shelf.
I'm sure the one she has planned for the laundry room will be just as nice. :-)
Some people will complain when you throw hundred dollar bills at them.
Somebody must think its great stuff or they would have stopped making it decades ago, or maybe there really are that many first timers.
PS Great review.
Speaking of better looking woman...
You know the difference between a Victoria secret supermodel and a nine month pregnant wife?
Absolutely nothing if the husband knows whats good for him... :wink:
Here is something that does gets me.
A new poster asks a question that is asked all the time.
Then some wise a$$ jumps them about not using the search function or not reading the forum or whatever.
Its a pipe forum! There is only so much to talk about, so what if we discuss the same thing every...
I am not tiring to be political here at all.
But as long as they allow a woman to kill the baby that lives inside her, they need to lay off my smoking habit choice.
And they can shove seat belts, well you get my drift...
I am very pleased to say that pipe doesn't do it for me.
Without asking I am pretty sure my wife is also pleased about it.
But that is not to say it is not a nice pipe.
I have to admit that I can't bring myself to think any pipe is worth $1500.
We are talking about a guy that has bought...
You don't see many pictures of a pipe like than on these forums.
It makes some of the stuff we do a lot harder to justify.
I love it.
Wonder what he thought of the tobacco you traded him for the pic?
Should they go then five years from now everyone will carry on about how great the blends where.
And in ten years they will have been the stuff of dragons and unicorns...
And if someone picks up the name, people will talk about how they are just not as good as the original...
Cause that's just...
This is not really to your problem.
But I think more people would pick up pipe smoking if their first pipe was a cob.
For one thing it seems much easier to find a bad briar than a bad cob.
Also your briar may take/ will take some break-in. You will hear folks talk about 20 bowls or more to...
