    If You Could Visit any Pipe Shop...

    When it comes to places I would visit or re-visit... The Danish Pipe Shop (can you sit down and smoke there?) Iwan Ries (huge selection, amazing lounge) The Country Squire - it just feels like you're home when you walk in the door, I always seem to meet new people who all smoke pipes.

    The Birth Land of Briar Pipes and Brotherhood of Master Pipemakers of Saint-Claude

    Recall - Coming to a Computer Near You (Maybe)

    Absolutely. And everytime this stuff happens, I go re-install linux and see if I can get parity with the programs that I use. I've gotten really close with one exception - I can't get Adobe products like photoshop to work there without creating a VM and installing an instance of windows in the...

    Morta Pipes Experiences?

    Davorin Denovic (Coatia) Golden Morta - which the color indicates age from what I understand so its a bit younger of a piece. I also have a Ryan Alden Black Morta with a white stem and a Briarworks Morta pipe.

    Seek Larger Peterson.

    Yep, House and Pub pipes are big, but I find there is a lot of gurgle. My go-to on any new pete line is looking for the Darwin B42 shape.

    2024 Texas Pipe Show

    Hell the kicker is, we met in person at the Kansas Pipe show. But I get it, I'm poor with names myself. I'll meet people, tell them my name is James... and then they find out "oh you're pylorns" and suddenly they know me. Online fun...

    Slow Server Response

    It was definitely slow when I was working on my article but the backend of Wordpress is always slow so I didn't think anything of it - but yeah... does seem slower - could be the amount of traffic on the site - php/mysql can be a drag on resources if a ton of people are hitting it.
