    I'm Confused About The Difference Between Reality And Perception

    Reality is what you end up with when you try to belive its not an illusion It usually sucks.

    What Type of Adhesive to Use to Connect Tenon to Mouthpiece

    Thats the same way 9mm pipes are made. They are secured in the stem with epoxy. My Viprati snapped out of the stem once and a pipe maker told me to clean it, put on a thin coat of epoxy and be happy. Its been as good as new since. Sometimes a glue joint just decides to fail

    Finally setting down for a smoke after morning errands. Reiners Golden Flake in a Paul Becker. What a great blend.

    Experimenting With a Marxman

    Id reshape the top. Make it like a Marxman with a wind break in front. Lower the back half and get rid of the damage, then reshape it into a modern iteration. Sorry...I will never smoke murphys. nasty stuff lol

    Experimenting With a Marxman

    Murphys smells like hell. I would not use it in a pipe. I also wouldnt soak a pipe to get cake out. If it doesnt stick it will easlily release with slightly dull and small pocket knife.

    Tobacco Prices In Ireland & Good Places To Buy It

    Trust me...you never want to try to get taxes refunded on purchases from anywhere, even if they say its possible Id lay down my bottom dollar on a bet that they make it next to impossible.

    Hairline Cracks in a Dunhill

    That is soft. A hard flame is something like a jet lighter. They can be used but they mostly scortch your rims.

    Ruminations of Briar Quality and Improved Taste

    Im in the musical instrument business. Specifically sax mouthpieces. There are so many people who believe that old hard rubber is better than new hard rubber. Myths that Semler saxophones post war were from superior quality shell casings from WWII. The list goes on. Pretty much all of it is...

    Old Fredders in a Kai Rhodesian. This blend is becoming a serious contender for the top of the line up.

    EU Burley Blends

    Supposedly Reiners long golden flake has white burley. I get more Virginia from it. Bit being in the EU it is WELL worth trying. Its pretty awesome stuff…enough that it sells out in the US for wuite a premium price. Occasionally we win on this side of the waters.

    Hairline Cracks in a Dunhill

    I think the common denominator is age and sometimes abuse. I prefer simple answers. Id venture to guess that old pipes that have sat for a long time and then get put back into action are also at greater risk. Old stuff breaks down. I can attest to that! I have a nice pipe with a hairline...

    ***What Are You Smoking, March 2025?***

    Reiner's golden flake in a Ser Jacopo Im trying to slow down. Ive started puffing too fast again lately. The VA and red Va have been irritrating my mouth a bit. I like them so Im gobbling them up too fast.
