    What Ya Got Going for Halloween?

    Was hoping to have a bonfire but 20-30 mph winds ended that idea; hopefully calmer tomorrow. Sit back with some scotch and think of loved ones no longer here.....

    Pipe Made from Cedar Wood?

    Use a hard species of maple. Some species are as soft as cedar.

    Why Do You Think PM IS The Number ONE Pipe Site ON The Web?

    Good set of rules that are followed 99+% of the time. Good moderators that handle situations that get a bit heated or out of line. Most know when things are getting dicey in a thread with all the IBTL comments.

    You’ve Got To Be Careful!

    Growing up we would run across a rattler once or twice a year. Generally left them alone and they left us alone. One day one was on the shoulder of our road and pickup swerved to run it over. He got out to throw the body in the back and was promptly bit. He was already not the sharpest tool...

    Good Smokes and Bad Smokes

    Sometimes things just go flat. I opened a tin of GLP Renaissance Reserve that was awesome for a week and then became just blah in a couple of days.

    Cellaring: Pouches Versus Tins

    I ran across a pouch of John Bull that was 3 years old and it was just fine. Some OTC pouches (Borkum Riff cough cough) will still be around when the cockroaches inherit the earth.

    Do Any Types Of Leaf Deteriorate With Aging?

    Leaf changes with age I think is a better way of saying rather than deteriorate. I have found the flavour of latakia usually softens after 5 years. I haven't smoked any latakia blends with more than 15 years of age but have heard it fades alot by 20 years. Vapers can become sweeter, more...

    When To Stop Adding To Cellar

    At this point I just replace what I've smoked when a sale catches my fancy. Sitting at about 100 pounds, no more fear of running out; just happy smoking.

    Men Without Chests

    Seems people are arguing whether a medal or a chest to pin it on........

    Smoking a Unicorn: GLP Renaissance Reserve

    Only 500 tins were made when Mr. Pease got a hold of some high quality Syrian latakia in 2015. This blend contains both Cyprian and Syrian latakia as well as generous amount of virginias and a little oriental as well. The tin had expanded a bit over the 4 1/2 years. A beautiful mass of...

    So, Was The Pipe Tool Fake Or Not? The Past Week's Suspense Has Been Insane!

    Czech tools are actually a knock off of a Bulgarian pipe tool.

    Is One of My Czech Tools Fake?

    My bigger worry is all the fake pipe cleaners flooding the market.
