    A question for the experts regarding Dunhill Royal Yacht

    I'm in the love it camp. Didn't think I would be, since it's a VA. I have said it before though, it's a VA that smokes like a Burley. Right up my alley.

    The Big Nor'easter

    Started last night here in Philly. We were out and get a decent amount by the time we drove home. Got a decent amount overnight, but we are getting a good wallop now. Cleaned off the Jeep earlier and drove over to the store. All those dummies that waited in lines yesterday should have went...

    Is it Tongue Bite or Just Spicy?

    Yep. Essentially, in my mind, spicy should be a flavor, not a lingering sensation on the tongue after the smoke. That would be bite.

    Does Anything Really Smoke Better Than A Cob?

    Nope, but I have been in front of a mirror with a pipe in my mouth plenty of times. Cobs just look goofy for me.

    Does Anything Really Smoke Better Than A Cob?

    Nope, I said it... and it wasn't meant to be tongue in cheek at all. I honestly don't like how I look with a cob in my kisser. As I said in my comment, it's no different than my preference for khakis over jeans.

    First Attempt To Make A Tamper [Pic Heavy]

    Nice work. The extension will come in handy when you have one of these...

    The Godfather I & II

    Amen to that. When your exclamation point on every argument is to drop an insult, no point in furthering the conversation.

    Pipe Cabinet

    Coffin, I may be alone here, but someday if you have some time... I would love to see a pictorial account of you actually building a coffin. I'm intrigued, mainly because it seems like a very intricate, finely crafted thing.

    The Godfather I & II

    That's not a corny accent in the Godfather... it's cotton balls. :mrgreen:

    The Big Nor'easter

    As far as I'm concerned, it's a month late. I would have liked a bit of snow for Christmas, had it all melt by New Year and then not seen it for the rest of the year. Mother Nature needs to get her s**t together.

    Fire Extinguisher Anyone?

    Don't have one... but now you made me paranoid.

    The Godfather I & II

    The problem with Cagney, EGR is that they all seemed overly exaggerated. It's like they were still acting on stage where big movements and loud distinct speech was required so the guy in the nosebleeds could see you. Brando was a dramatic master. It wasn't about screaming at the top of your...

    The Big Nor'easter

    Yep, born and raised a Buffalo boy. I chuckle when I see the lines at the grocery store down here in Philly. Bunch of wussies. Dan, the Double Oaked is one of my favorites. Having only ever had the regular, I picked up a bottle last year. Damn fine stuff. Dangerous to keep in the house though...

    The Big Nor'easter

    That sounds better than "Sharknados" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2724064/

    The Big Nor'easter

    Last I heard it's 12-16 in. through the Philly metro area. We will see. Our weather forecasters are masters of fear mongering. I count the accumulation when it's done falling.

    The Big Nor'easter

    I'm sure everyone has heard about it on the news. This one is lining up to be a monster storm up and down the east coast. Curious which of our brothers are in its path, and what your plans are for the big event?

    Does Anything Really Smoke Better Than A Cob?

    All about thickness for me. I wish I could find the measurements exactly, but when I get a pipe made, I have the stems made to very, very thin specs.

    Does Anything Really Smoke Better Than A Cob?

    Cobs don't do it for me. First off, anyone that says that a cob does not require break-in is nuts. The first 4 or 5 bowls taste like burning corn to me. Second, the bit is never comfortable. I buy artisan pipes (not overly expensive ones mind you) because I like the ability to be able to keep...

    Pipe Cabinet

    Welcome to the forum. That's a hell of a pipe cabinet. Nicely done. :clap:

    Might I suggest....
