    Merchant Service Table Pipe

    My question would be: How stiff is the hose on this pipe? When you turn your head, does the hose shove the bowl around the table (or over the edge)?

    Worth Growing 20-30 Yenidje Plants Next Year?

    Every once in a while a topic reminds me of something I've been wondering off-and-on for a few years: Has anyone experimented with curing tomato leaves by any of the methods used for tobacco, in order to use them as a flavoring additive?

    Just Noticed an Excise Tax on my Orders!?

    Sounds like a copy of the changes here in Maine laws a couple of years ago.

    Problems With Online Retail Anyone?

    No problems from here in Maine, given that we can no longer legally do either online- or mail-order for pipe tobacco.

    Krispy Kreme Alert

    We had a Krispy Kreme here in Auburn for a year or two. It's now a Taco Bell or something.

    How Latakia is Pronounced in Syria

    It just gets so much more fun when one has to decide on which skill-set's jargon a word is being used in reference to. So many words are shared by different jargons to refer to different things. Tobacco pipers may (or may not) use a few jargon terms that are shared with Scottish (bag)Pipers for...

    Carey Magic Inch Pipe

    The other thing I discovered smoking my EA Carey pipes is that if you pull the stem off to check the state of the papyrate tube, is that when putting the stem back in you can catch the edge of the papyrate on the stem and open its seam. If you're trying to light the pipe and nothing happens no...

    Anyone Smoke RYO Pipe Tobacco?

    Being as we can no longer get mail-order pipe tobaccos here in Maine, what is available with no real tobacconists (just some cigar shops, and some places stuffed to the rafters with cases of cigarettes), there's not much available except for the rare places which have chosen to still stock some...

    Cleaning Your Email

    While I've kept my email program's Preferences set to delete-from-the-server all incoming emails after a week since they were downloaded to my computer, and outgoing emails after a month from being sent, I've just recently discovered that those deletions have not been happening at the server...

    Do You Believe in Devolution?

    The planet itself will do just fine without that thin scum of life infesting its surface.

    Do You Believe in Devolution?

    I definitely believe in the probable de-evolution of human institutions and cultures, all that takes is a streak of corruption in key locations. While de-evolution among animals isn't so likely without some astounding and detrimental changes to their environment, human evolution can certainly...

    New Fancy Plug Knives

    I suppose it's telling a tale on me, that upon reading your thread title "New Fancy Plug Knives," my first thought was something like, Why would anybody be shopping for plug-bayonets for muzzle-loading military muskets?

    Are Netflix and the Like Dying?

    The writers can be colossally ignorant and/or stupid a lot of the time. Some of them have Commanders senior to Captains/Colonels and Commodores/Brigadiers. Woman pulls a mangled copper jacket out of their fake corpse and the guy watching declares out of nowhere "That's a .243!" Amazing! Out...

    Are Netflix and the Like Dying?

    The onset of "reality TV" was the beginning of my inability to find much of interest to watch on broadcast TV. We got rid of cable when our last kid moved out, as there was little we watched on it besides BBC America, and we no longer needed all the sports channels for him. I tried Peacock...

    What's your Favorite Coffee Mug?

    While it broke years ago when I was stationed at MSO Portland OR, my still favorite coffee mug had a drawing of the most mournful looking hound dog you ever did see, and the caption: "Smile, later today you won't feel like it." Currently, I'm using the one my sister sent me a couple of years...

    MLB What Do You Think?

    I've read a litttle about "cross-country golf" a time or two, and have wondered if it might be better exercise than Winston Churchill's "a nice walk-about outside, ruined by a small white ball."

    Garage/estate Pipe Finds.

    Only at one yard sale, ever. They had two hardwoods and one cob, all falling apart and a bit beyond even minimally fixin' up enough to smoke while shoveling sxxt.

    MLB What Do You Think?

    I admit to abandoning all thoughts and spending on anything to do with baseball in 1985, though I don't remember if it was a strike or a lock-out that season. Professional athletes are ENTERTAINERS, not heroes. Whose life did they save? How did they make the world a better place to live? How fat...

    Anyone Ever Smoked Sumac?

    When we bought this place in late '04, there was a small stand of Staghorn Sumac growing inside of a patch of bamboo some previous owner allowed to take root. The sumacs have since been choked off and killed by the bamboo, which I still haven't managed to eradicate.

    Fraudulent Tobacco and Pipe Site!

    Regarding how much this swindler nets from each victim, remember the profits accrued from the Numbers Racket, and how small the amounts gathered from each participant are.
