    Moving in the Right Direction

    Yet another social media "influencer" is in the news. This time it's a guy who thought getting high and messing around in the Florida boondocks would be great for click$ ... while wearing shorts and knowing absolutely nothing about the situation, the animals, or much of anything else...

    Why Does This Happen So Often?

    Everyone on Earth (in the developed world, anyway), has seen famous women give themselves the "Outer Limits look" with botox, implants, and fillers for quite a while now. Fifty years or more. And it's not only not new, the outcome isn't a surprise. Quite the opposite. Lots of planning...

    Question for Woodsroad or Condorlover

    Did you guys take orders by phone? If so, did Peretti's ever call and ask for a carton of Wah Haahss? 😉

    Proof at Last --- Santa Smokes an ENGLISH-shape Pipe

    I always doubted that anyone riding a sleigh through snowstorms while rasslin' a bunch of reindeer would try to smoke one of those Oom Paul or other deep-bendy long shapes... like srsly?! And sure enough, he doesn't. (Apparently story tellers and book illustrators just wanted to fancy things...

    Repairing a Botched Repair of a Botched Original Build

    Sorry for the confusing thread title, but it's the situation. The maker of the pipe made two significant alignment errors that would confound the repairman who replaced the stem's tenon when it broke several years later, and cause HIM to screw up the situation even worse. Here is the top view...

    An Overlooked Factor in the GH&Co Taste Situation

    All of their blends taste best when smoked in English pipes. In fact, it literally refuses to light---meaning produces zero smoke even when a cigar torch lighter is used---if the pipe is Italian. You'd think it was black asbestos. It grudgingly burns a bit and tastes OK when smoked in...

    GH&Co Brown Irish #4 Rope --- Love the New Package Method/Coil Size

    This might be old news (I haven't had to buy any in a while), but the massive triple-layer-coil looks to have reached the end of the line in favor of something more manageable. Hooray sez me! "Wrestling the Snake" while slicing was the only thing about #4 that I found annoying. Especially so...

    When the PipeGods Give You Lemons... Make a Hamburger

    Peterson doesn't sell loose stems to repair shops (I think it's a patent thing), so getting a P-lip means either making one from scratch (very difficult because of the up-curved airway), or adapting a discarded one from a P-lip pipe that somebody converted to a fishtail. Showing you this...
