    Info Sought on Inherited Pipes

    The search term you're missing is Tyrolean. I believe the form originated in what is now Germany, but that doesn't exclude the possibility that your examples could be Danish.

    Bosun Plug?

    I've only had the cut plug, but it's kinda the Lakeland's Lakeland, you know? So it's likely only fans of those flavors would be pursuing and reviewing it, as I imagine it would be a very pure example of the form. Which might explain the high scores. If you've had Lakelands before and enjoyed...

    Old Books on Growing Tobacco

    I always recommend Barbara Hahn's "Making Tobacco Bright: Creating an American Commodity, 1617–1937" As a resource - the University of North Carolina has a huge online archive of farmer's bulletins and academic papers on growing and curing tobacco from mule times to modern.

    First Smoke on the New Porch!

    It's above my pay grade, but I would imagine the availability issue has a lot to do with America having been settled by people who use property rights and build permanent dwellings about 1/10 as long as Italy. The second question I actually feel comfortable answering - because Canada sells it...

    First Smoke on the New Porch!

    The someday pipes and tobaccos storage/display on the way out the door to the smoking porch. It's not much of a picture, but it's important to know that it's been part of the plans all along.

    First Smoke on the New Porch!

    Siding is on! Just gotta pick some lights and patio furniture, maybe a hvls outdoor fan. KBB Van Gogh in a 4th Gen sandblasted bent brandy.

    Warhorse Bar Green

    That's a strange way of taking credit. Wasn't it you and Woodsroad who brought this one back to market?

    Advice wanted: growing my own tobacco in Michigan and the North

    For smokability the growing isn't as important as the curing. If you can grow tomatoes where you are you can grow tobacco. You may just end up having to build a climate controlled box to cure it in. Fair trade has all the info for that, too. Good luck!

    Graceland!

    I went to Graceland Too in the early 90's. It was indeed wild. It's long since closed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graceland_Too

    What's Your MBTI?

    The Meyers Briggs test is absolutely useless, unscientific trash. It proliferates into the current day because the HR industry has the lazy momentum of a Missouri float trip, not because it has been proven valid.

    Chatter Tamper

    It did not sound like a good cut, that's for sure. The noise is less squealy and objectionable when the part is moving vs when the tool is. The noise from a bad boring bar cut is horrible.

    Carrington Event

    I like your premise. Particularly that a super advanced being who could create stars with their minds still has need of a corporeal form that includes mammalian secondary sex characteristics.

    Chatter Tamper

    When turning metal on a lathe, one of the possible bad outcomes is chatter on your part. Improper speeds and feeds, or unsupported lengths that can whip and create harmonic vibrations under the cutting forces. It's never the surface finish the customer wants, but sometimes it's pretty neat...

    Thanks! I was only following the Kp index of aurora activity, so you had me scratching my head.

    First Smoke on the New Porch!

    Yeah, they get really bland people to do those shows. I did about 7-8 years of installation work as part of my 20 years as a cabinet and furniture maker and I have had many conversations with folks about building displays or structures to show off their eccentric hobbies. Everything from model...

    Show Us Your Blatter Pipes

    I've only had the one smoke so far in the one pipe (the bottom on eon the picture) but yes! It smoked very well and certainly represents a great value in hand-made pipes. I think my spouse paid about a $150 USD per pipe at their store
