    Perfect Foods

    Every now and again, I come across a comestible that can only be described as "perfect". Perfect, for me, is a food item that brings a sense of elation and satisfaction unparalleled by any other experience. Not orgasmic, per se, but damn, it hits the spot like nothing else. As with tobacco...

    Pipe Smoking and Cancer

    We often complain that the studies of pipe smokers are usually skewed by the fact that many participants are also (or have been in the past) users of other forms of tobacco. Well, it turns out that there is an ongoing study of people who are exclusive pipe smokers. Discuss.

    Will the SCOTUS Chevron Decision Affect FDA Tobacco Rulemaking?

    In a decision released Friday, the SCOTUS reversed a 1984 decision that gave government regulators more sway in creating rules that are not directly rooted in legislation. The WSJ wrote today: “In a 6-3 decision written by Chief Justice John Roberts, the court abandoned a legal doctrine called...

    Custom Pipe Tampers: A Hidden Gift

    We recently bought a new bed and bed frame, and while dismantling the old frame, found a hidden gift. Imagine! The craftsman who made our old frame was a pipe smoker, and hid these beautiful custom tampers in the structure! I can hardly believe my eyes! Each is turned from pure steel, with a...

    Legal Pipes/Crappy Pipes

    While I was busy living my life, it appears that Heath Piersel (Crappy Pipes owner and spouse of Scotty) stopped making pipes and sold his remaining stock to an outfit named Legal Pipes. Has anyone here dealt with them? Thanks!

    Slow Server Response

    In the past several days, I've noticed slow response from the pipesmagazine server. I'm not seeing this with other sites, and I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this. Here's a ping test, not sure if this is the problem: Ping results for pipesmagazine.com at 18 Apr 2024 02:34:02 PM ...

    4.7 Quake in NJ!

    Just had a 4.7 magnitude quake in Tewksbury, New Jersey. 50 miles away in Quakertown, PA it felt like a Blackhawk was landing in my backyard. Whole house shook.

    The Kindness of a Fellow Pipe Smoker

    I arrived back home from breakfast this morning to find this gem in the mailbox. Thank you @jguss! And such a thoughtful and heartfelt card to go with it, that was really the best part. I will enjoy this out on the deck, as soon as the first leaves emerge. There is nothing like the dawn of...

    Notifications Won't Clear on iPhone

    This seems to be an iPhone or mobile app issue: There are times when I'll get a notification on the PM app on my iPhone, and even after tapping on it and reading the notification, the red number doesn't go away, and new notifications don't show. If I move over to the desktop, the problem isn't...

    The Great RYO Smoke Out!

    The Great RYO Smoke Out! The Lehigh Valley Pipe Club will put @Briar Lee to the test on Wednesday evening as we host a blind taste test of nine different RYO blends. There will be three controls (well known pipe blends of similar composition to the RYO's), but participants won't know which are...

    Does This Look Like Cancer?

    I would no sooner ask forum members to diagnose a tumor than I would ask them to diagnose if a tin of tobacco contains mold. I'm just getting really tired of all the posts asking total strangers, with no training in mycology, to determine if the snapshot that they posted shows tobacco with...

    Post-COVID Nicotine Hypersensitivity

    I seem to have developed a much reduced tolerance for both alcohol and nicotine after my last bout of COVID. My alcohol tolerance is now just one glass of wine or a 12 oz beer. After that, it really isn't very enjoyable, and get groggy and feel like I took a few cyclobenzaprines. I can feel...
