    Looks fine to me. I like long danglers.

    In Praise Of The Spectacular And Amazingly Miraculous Peterson Silver Polishing Cloth!

    Yeah, they're helpful but find that tobacco ash works a bit better.

    Show Off Your Petersons Here!

    Don't know that that is true. I have a 1990 SH and quite a few from the past 5-6 years and the dimensions seem consistent over the years. Of course, there had been a SH juniors line which featured smaller SH pipes.

    For Veteran Pipe Smokers, How Many Types and Blends do you Enjoy on a Regular Basis?

    Been smoking around 50 years. Have always only had 2 blends around at a time while periodically changing up the blends.

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

    Oriental Silk had been a regular for me for quite some time til I bought it around 6 months ago and it tasted radically different and not in a good way. So, stopped buying it til quite recently. This recent batch tastes like it used to for me which is great. :)

    Loving the Peterson Shape Releases--Which Shapes Do You Want to Return?

    I agree with that. The only 999 I have is an old Dublin and London John Bull. Do not like the dimensions of what passes for a 999 these days.

    Tobacco Prices In Ireland & Good Places To Buy It

    Can't help on places to go as I've never had the opportunity to go. But, when you get up to Portrush, you'll be near where my paternal family lived in Ballintoy parish prior to heading over here.

    A Plethora of 309s

    I have an old blasted 4s and I might be tempted by these.

    What Are You Drinking? February 2025

    Tempted to put this in the TAD thread, though, of course, it's a different kind of TAD. In addition to my standard order of Scottish breakfast tea today, got a hankering for Russian caravan blend tea. so, ordered that, too.

    Of course, some of those are not billiard pipes.

    What Would be Your Order of Preferences?

    If you're talking vices then it's tobacco, wine, whisky, vodka, and unhealthy food. As to the latter, thank God for some very effective cholesterol meds I take. :)

    Perfect Pipe Collection. Less than 20 pipes.

    I smoke 4 times daily and like a different pipe for each smoke over the course of a week. So, that would imply a 28 pipe collection. I probably own nearly 3 times that many pipes but largely just smoke my favorites which comprise the 28.

    P&C 20% Off

    They might have good prices but it is a crap shoot as to whether your order ships..

    Pipe Smoking, Relationships, and Compromise

    I smoke only in the den with a fan in the window. Consequently, the smoke does not seem to seep out into other rooms.

    TAD Acquisitions 2025

    Been lovin' on OJK for a while now along with occasional Haunted Bookshop. Starting to get burley fatigue. That plus having an oriental craving leads me to all all Virginia blend buy with a half-pound each of Bayou Morning and another stab at Oriental Silk.

    Peterson Carved Meerschaum

    My 1 and only didn't color attractively. It developed an ash gray dolor along its ridges and valleys.

    Savinelli Bings Favorite

    You actually get 40 minutes from a ribbon cut?

    Savinelli Bings Favorite

    I like mine, but no way on the 40 minute bowls. It's a rather small chamber and for me it's more like 10 minutes.
