    Deer hunting

    no but I find that when I take a walk in the woods if I am smoking a pipe I actually seem to see more wild animals. Never had that effect with cigs. I think they don't associate the smell of a pipe with people. I don't know how it would be with hunting.

    What Do You Mean When You Say….

    I guess the test is if you drop the pipe while smoking and spill ash and embers, if the pipe looks remorseful it's a good pipe. I guess what I mean by my comparison is that while there are lots of factors that lead to good and others that negate good. Anything past that is more about how happy...

    Pipe Blend Ponderings by a Grumpy Old Man Who Doesn't Like Anything

    it's something that is done to you. One day you're minding your own business talking with friends about snuff and then next thing you know you're in charge of something and you realize why people in charge are always grumpy. It could happen at any time to almost anyone.

    Pipe Blend Ponderings by a Grumpy Old Man Who Doesn't Like Anything

    Ever get written in as the President of a tobacco themed organization? I highly recommend not doing that. But if you do that and still love tobacco, that's like getting mauled to near death and still loving the animal that did it.

    Is This a Crack?

    and then you'll really enjoy the pipe when you forget the crack is there.

    Pipe Blend Ponderings by a Grumpy Old Man Who Doesn't Like Anything

    For years I never had a favorite. And wondered about people that did. Like how are they postioning themselves to miss out on all the experiences a pipe has to offer. And now I fall in the middle where I primarily smoke a small variety of blends that I really enjoy. Do still try and enjoy new...

    What Do You Mean When You Say….

    That's like asking what makes a cat or dog a good boy. It's just all the factors coming together and adding up to a good boy.

    Is This a Crack?

    smoke the thing it should be fine. Here is the rub though. Very rarely a pipe will fail and it can happen to a pipe with zero visual indication of cracks or issues. You're basically at the same risk with that pipe as one that looks 100 percent fine.

    Pipes are Like Cats

    My one pipe does keep trying to sneak outside. I think I see what you're getting at and yeah I agree that just like with a cat it's you can't force the interaction and just have to let it happen.

    C&D Harshness "Solved"

    everyone! That's who that sounds awesome.

    Is This a Crack?

    you don't want to be a bad host. Lucky for me I don't care about such things. Hey at least the custom at this point is you get to pick the mood music, so you got that going for you.

    Sour pipe bad, sour tobacco good?

    never say never. I think I could convince some people to give it a go.

    I Remember When..........

    precisely. And most fans figure that out by themselves. Though the bad guy is actually real, Vince is a real person as unbelievable as that is.

    Sour pipe bad, sour tobacco good?

    Oh it is. I know because I soured one of my favorite pipes. It was literally heart breaking. Like the micro version of your good friend being really sick and knowing that there is a chance the doctors aren't going to be able to save them, but there is still hope they can. Certainly tiny little...

    I Remember When..........

    The whole scripted matches thing came from the fact that certain wrestlers were so good that people stopped enjoying their matches and it slowed ticket sales. People knew that guy always wins. So at first only the main event matches became scripted. Another thing people don't realize either is...

    Found a pipe collection at a thrift store!

    from the tone I read I think it's more other forums got up in arms about some nonmember newbie who's only smoked a few pipes thinking their big enough to waste everyones time. It's easy to forget we're on the internet with how comparably civil things are here.

    Time To Give Up The Hobby

    fun fact you can do that in the U.S. with illegal drugs. If someone sends you a box full of crack you're breaking the law the moment you own it i.e. take it off the porch or from a friendly undercover postman. I am pretty sure it wouldn't work but technically the way the law works is like that...

    Time To Give Up The Hobby

    nah. Eventually people will get over caviar. Mainly because as we get more access into the thoughts and actions of the rich it's easier to realize they aren't the best lifestyle coaches.

    I Remember When..........

    if you're implying things about wrestling that it deserves to have said about it. I'll remind you that westerns have lots of chaps and men camping together so.... I hate to point out that any overly manly thing is going to have shades overly manly loving too. Just one of those glitches in life.

    Peretti Burleys

    I think they should know or at least tell you what ones their customers consider closest.
