    What Is With Petersons Using P-Lips For All Their New Releases?

    Luckily most come with both these days. An automatic setting, and flappy paddles. Unfortunately the Lamborghini transmissions leave a bit to be desired.....or so I hear. I live vicariously through online videos and hearsay. :) But my 2014 BMW M4 kinda has both. Its automatic, but has an option...

    What Is With Petersons Using P-Lips For All Their New Releases?

    A Peterson pipe without a P-lip just ain't a Peterson pipe.....in my opinion. I wouldn't own one with a fishtail bit. The entire point of owning a Peterson pipe is because of the P-lip for gods sake!! Have you fishtail guys fallen off your rockers?

    Father’s Day Dinner

    Looks good to me. Except the booze, I dont like booze....except some beers. My mom was not a very good cook. She worked full time and raised us 3 kids. She cooked dinner 7 days a week, unless she picked up KFC, she loved KFC. But my dad was fond of her cooking after 60 years of marriage. Her...

    Bruno Nuttens Thirds

    A few months ago I bought one of the Brulor pipes from Smoking Pipes. I haven't smoked it yet. It has a very, very, very small chamber, and the horn stem is round as a straw, and hard as glass....which I found I dont care for. I fell for the story of Nuttens buying all these 70 year old NOS...

    The Flavors of Perique: Fruity vs. Spicy -- FIGHT!

    I dont like the spicy Perique. But love the fruity Perique. Bayou Morning = spicy = yucky The Beast = fruity = yummy

    Tongue burn question

    Like eating spicy food, you're going to get used to it. Building a tolerance you might say. Smoking slow helps a lot. I dont buy into the tongue bite being caused by steam because, well...science. The steam coming from a pipe isn't hot enough to physically BURN your tongue. You know when you...

    $65 Spanish Muxaing Large Author

    Dang, I thought this would be a thread about George RR Martin! He's my favorite large author currently. But that's also a good looking pipe. Considering the exceptional quality of the current Chinese knives available, they seem to be putting out some great briar pipes too.

    Question About Temple Bar

    Ok, serious this time. When my wifes aunt and uncle were looking at houses, they looked at one with an elevator. It was a 2 story house. And it was not for wheelchairs or disabled. The elevator was 3"x3", and the door had no window. So you're in a tiny box. The literature from the elevator...

    Is It Just Me ?

    Another issue which is becoming a thing, and something I will approach very carefully, is it just doesn't pay to become a GOOD doctor anymore. This comes from actual doctors, nurses and other medical professionals. Due to certain new rules back about 15 years ago, doctors are forced to...

    Is It Just Me ?

    About 6 years ago a couple came to our shop looking around. I helped them each choose their first ever handguns. I offered them a discount to our beginner concealed carry class, they both accepted. After the first class they both signed up for another, and paid for a year membership at the...

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    I wanted to open a tin but was just staring into my cellar. As I listened to the rain smacking the window, I glanced upon GLP Barbary Coast. Rain...water.....coast...as good of a reason as any. This is a tin from April of 2024.

    DAMN!!! MOLDY G & H DARK PLUG

    The mold probably came with the tobacco. Ive heard of entire batches that were sent and jarred all over the country getting moldy. Ive just got lucky I guess. I just wash the jars with dish soap, dry, then jar. Ive got a few hundred jars, none moldy yet. They are from 2008-2024. Im more worried...
