Rubbing Alcohol to Clean Pipes
I used to use ISO but switched to Everclear and my tobacco tastes much better. Lat doesn't ghost as much and I use the same cleaning techniques as before. I can also get good and relaxed from just a tiny shot. :-)- mayfair70

I Need Help With This Comoy's.....Please
I prefer the original to the "refurb" in this case, for reasons already stated. Too bad, it was a lovely pipe.- mayfair70

Rant - I'm Sure I'm Not Alone
I'm VERY glad I am wrong. I was going by what I had heard on the news and from my nieces' schooling. What is this social media you speak of? I always thought you could tell a lot about someone by their handwriting and feel it is an art-form in and of itself. How quickly we forget the impending...- mayfair70

Low Tar and Nicotine, Very Mild?
Welcome, I switched from cigs to pipe tobacco and it took me a few months of gradually weening off to drop cigs entirely. Corn Cob pipes are good to start with because they are easier to maintain and allow you to focus on getting the packing, lighting, cadence, etc, down without having to clean...- mayfair70

Rant - I'm Sure I'm Not Alone
Exactly. I thought it was a great thing to help kids with fine motor skills. But no room for it now, I'm told. :crying: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/21/opinion/handwriting-just-doesnt-matter.html?_r=0- mayfair70

Rant - I'm Sure I'm Not Alone
+1 on German writing and Lazy People. You know what gets my goat? Egyptian Demotic script. The Germans called it Frühdemotisch. :evil: Since cursive writing is no longer taught in schools, we older folks will have a secret writing system all to ourselves in 20 years.- mayfair70

Brand New Pipe. Cracks/Voids in Chamber Wall. What Would You Do?
I would throw mud in there, wait a couple days, then smoke away. But then, I am impulsive and a DIY-er. From all the situations I've seen on this forum which resemble yours, it is not the defects you see that usually get you, it's the ones you don't see. Fill the voids and if there are no other...- mayfair70

Googly Eyed Cob
LOL - Yes I do. I hadn't thought about it, but I put my thumb right over his eyeballs when I smoke so I can't see them. Letting him watch me smoke him seems dirty somehow. Willie indeed! 8O :rofl: -
Kaywoodie Metal Material?
^^ What they said. Kaywoodie stingers are usually aluminum, at least, the old ones were. Post a pic and we can say for sure. :) -
Rant - I'm Sure I'm Not Alone
I noticed a couple days ago how many thread titles were not properly capitalized. Then I thought of you Mcitinner1. Keep fighting the good fight. I am behind you 100%. :clap:- mayfair70

The Best place to order tobacco online
I've only ordered tobacco from them (what isn't on back order or sold out that is) and never had trouble. @Chasingembers - Is the Herring Sandwich tagline in reference to Opus from Bloom County? Wow! Look at the memory glands on Davet!! Impressive sir! 8O :worship:- mayfair70

My Favorite Shape: the Skater. Know of Any out There for Sale?
I hope no one had their hearts set on the Tinderbox/Charatan Theloniousmonkfish posted. I showed it to my girlfriend remarking how much I liked the shape and she bought it for my Birthday. Thanks Thelonious !! :oops:- mayfair70

3.5oz of tobacco for only $1,000.00 at Smoking Pipes..........
Agreed. I liked the one and only review of the product entitled, "I can't feel my face." It contains such gems of endorsement as, "Needless to say my kid will now have to go to public school and a community college!" I too am suspicious of the Buddha like blender smirking like he farted and no...- mayfair70

Googly Eyed Cob
After three weeks of near paralyzing pain in my lumbar spine, it has finally let up and allowed me to get some things done without wanting to cry like a baby. I cleaned some briar in anticipation of the Box Pass coming my way and decided to accentuate the blob on my surviving cob with a pair of... -
