Outstanding Vegas Pipe Show Video on YouTube
Mentioning it on this board (in addition to all the other places it has doubtless been mentioned/linked to) because exposure is a categorically good thing for events like this.

Dunhill CK Rescue
One of Dunhill's rarest and most sought-after shapes is the CK. Why? For the same reason this model Ferrari is one of the rarest and most sought-after by car collectors: :col: But CKs do occasionally turn up, and one was sent to me that had been both heavily smoked and the stem wrecked...- georged

Hamburger Question
I found a leftover burger in the back of a cabinet in my basement (I love happy nom nom surprises!), but there's a black speck on it that looks a little "off". What's the right temp to re-heat it to when there's something like that, and how long should the burger be heated for?- georged
