    Soft bits. What say you?

    Great for pipers who lunt, and great for lunting pipers I suppose, when you clench your pipe while skipping down the street in your tights. Great for clencher's who smoke while their dentures soak. Great for pipers who buy pipes that are for investment purposes; a pipe condom protects the bit...

    Dunhill Elizabethan Mixture Tobacco Review

    Dunhill Elizabethan Mixture could be an all day smoke, except for the price. There are better and more inexpensive bulk VaPers available. For example: C&D Bayou Morning and C&D Exclusive. Deathmetal is right, Elizabethan does not exhibit the pepper punch of either Bayou Morning or Exclusive...

    How To Clean Your Pipe

    I hold the garden hose tight to the bowl and blast all the chemicals, nicotine, and tars out the bit end. Works a charm.

    Absence of "Room Note"

    I like tmb's thinking. Me, if I was kicked out of my own house to smoke in the back yard like some homeless dude, I would build myself a Portland city-style homeless shelter and smoke there. That should garner you due sympathy and provide yourself with plenty of "room note".

    Sour beer!!!!

    My personal preference leans toward the IPA style of local craft beers; both normally carbonated and nitro injected. The 47 brand tap room down the street from me is getting in more and more Belgian local brews, of which I have yet to sample. I will have a go next time I stop in. The other trend...

    How dry are you?

    I smoke VaPers and if I can detect any moisture on my finger tips, I deem it "too moist". Of course my technique could never pass with aromatics. We all have to find our own method for the type of cool sweet smoke we want.

    Tour De France

    Bicycle rider will understand: To date myself, back in the day fellow bike riders compared me to Claudio Chiappucci because I would attack often for what they thought was no reason. My reason was I did not have the VO2 of many, and grinding along at 21 mph would burn me out after 30 miles or so...

    Tour De France

    I used to average 300 miles a week and thought it was a mystery achievement. All of the miles were a crit speed and either after work, and/or on weekends with the Princeton Freewheelers (in NJ). The glory days...

    Does the Current FDA Reg Relate to Pipes

    Pipes are a "Nicotine Delivery System" (NDS) no different than a paper tube, vaporizer, or bong.
