    Finally Made It On The Porch

    Glad you are out getting some fresh air and a smoke. Nice Poker! Maybe it's the camera, but, most of your pipes look almost as big as your head!! :rofl: Welcome back to the porch and stay on the mend.

    I want to try a "Lakeland"

    Whoa, ease up there Kanse. He's contributing. I've learned a lot about tobacco from Hawky, AND he has great taste in music. Thanks, in part, to this thread I have Gawith Best Brown #2, Bosun Cut Plug Unscented, Bob's Chocolate Flake and Ennerdale Flake making their way to my house and bowl in...

    What Music Are You Listening To? Febuary 2017

    When I was an Operations Manager at a Youth Shelter for the State 20 years ago, my musician friends working there and I would play "Live at Pompeii" until we wore out the videotape. Those troubled youth did NOT think it was "The Bomb" and had no idea the foxes were in charge of the hen house...

    The Old Porch

    Royal Yacht Components

    I've heard whispers of a white bearded man clad in black ascending to a high stone tower in the dark of night. Naught but crows frequent its lofty peak and those who come near it die most disturbingly. Rumors of an iron cauldron bubbling with sweet golden ambrosia can be heard in the seedy...

    Yello-Bole Briar?

    Tuold beat me to it. Yes, Yello-Bole has briar pipes and the ones I have smoke very well. They tend to be on the smaller side, but worth the money in my opinion. Happy Hunting!

    What Music Are You Listening To? Febuary 2017

    Toobfreak - You got me to wondering where the title came from. Turns out, Aqualung was a homeless character Ian came up with. The song is about homelessness. The connection to an aqualung is the sound underwater when inhaling and exhaling. He figured his homeless character would have a breathing...

    What... Is your Ebay Threshold?

    I never buy new pipes so value for me is relative. I try not to spend more than $25 or $30. The most I offered up for a pipe was 40 something. They wanted more for a Kaywoodie bent billiard Supergrain from the 30's(I think)with a four hole stinger. They countered with what I thought was too much...

    What Music Are You Listening To? Febuary 2017

    Strangely, I don't mind the Velvet Underground Nico as much. Seems to work. :crazy: Natasha Khan - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDTW2jngNM8

    My Latest TAD Direction

    Since receiving a sample of Condor from Oldreddog and sampling the infamous Boxpass a while back, I have yearned for the Lakeland-esque notes of flowery grandma soap and bathmats to compliment my usual VaPers. I've long been restricted in my TAD due to car payments. Now my vehicle is paid off...

    What Music Are You Listening To? Febuary 2017

    Aqualung is the old-timey name for a scuba tank. Invented, I believe, by Jacques Cousteau. I have Thick As a Brick on vinyl. The articles on the cover have funny stories. :-) I am one of those Barbarians who doesn't like the sound of Nico's voice. Jackson Brown is good though...

    Sherlock Holmes Pipes?

    Doyle was born in Edinburgh, Scotland and his family were Irish catholic. I'm guessing that is the reason Peterson has the authority in making Sherlock pipes. :puffpipe:

    What to do with a Rustic pipe?

    Like it or no, that is a nice looking pipe as is. If you have the char off the rim and the rest looks as good as the current pics, I'd leave it. In my eyes, there is no way to "improve" it without compromising the lines of the shape. Unless you are a master pipester, keep it as is and treat it...

    Ford Model T Drives Down Ben Nevis In 1911 BBC Movie Clip.

    Thanks for the post. It is nice to see American made stuff actually working. It handled the terrain very well. :-)
