    Radio Show Intro Male Voice is Brian Levine?

    Brian said as much in one episode some while back.

    I Guess I Didn't Need to Buy

    Well, a guy could try to say no to his mom, but then he's likely to receive a lump of coal up-side his ear-hole at a high velocity!

    Famous Pipe Smoker Died on this Day in 1963

    I remember my fifth-grade teacher being called out of the classroom and a while later came back while pushing one of the school's TV sets on a tall stand, and began hooking it up. Then, she told us.

    Dr. Grabow Color Duke

    I think that the vast majority of the Orange Color Dukes I've seen on eB seem to have burnout on the port-side (or at least a large-ish black charred spot indicating incipient burnout).

    Brian G. Rowley of Growley Pipes on Radio Show of Nov 16, 2021

    I haven't been able to listen to any podcasts lately, ever since the last download of an upgrade to Apple Podcasts. Now, the program doesn't even run successfully when launched. I haven't done an exhaustive search for an alternate Podcatcher program yet, but those I've found so far seem to date...

    Money--How Much?

    "If you have to walk through a questionable neighborhood, it's best to walk like you're on your way to rip someone's face off." -- Harry Dresden (The Dresden Files)

    Are "Drug Store Pipes" really Available at Drug Stores?

    You can get Dr Grabows directly from the factory, but they are not set up to accept anything but paper Checks, or money-orders. And, at a discount off the suggested retail prices.

    Are Most Pipe Racks Made Wrong

    I have come to the conclusion that any more racks that I might make in the future for stem-up display, will have the bottoms of those holes chamfered, in the hopes it will aid inserting the things when putting my pipes back in.

    Shocking Lack of Knowledge

    Nope! From what the lady said, they got the idea from their distributor's reps.

    Shocking Lack of Knowledge

    Apparently, shops that do carry some pipe tobacco hereabouts in Maine, have the misunderstanding that any dates they find on the tin or whatever is the expiration date of the product. UGH!

    Fujima Pipes

    Bought a Fujima corn cob pipe when Lisbon Street News closed down. Poorly finished, some of the cobs on the board still had curled shavings attached partly inside the bowl. It smokes OK, but nothing special. I didn't even know Fujima (sounds Japanese, but it most certainly IS a Chinese company)...

    Did English really smoke English?

    It's like those Folger coffee commercials that make the claim: "It's Mountain Grown!" -- WELL DUH!!! Where else are you going to find coffee bushes growing? All coffee brands are grown on mountainsides. But . . . Folgers said it first in its commercials.

    'New' Vintage Dr. Grabow Pipes

    They're just not set up for online ordering, despite having a website. They only accept money orders or paper checks, having not yet abandoned the 1950's mail-order business model. Love their pipes, though. I have two of their Excel pipes, and two of their Eagle '69 pipes (those both...

    Breaking in an MM Cob.

    I have two or three MM cobs where my pufferbilly cadence has managed to loosen up the shank from the bowl. I also have some where the spoon has burned away on its own, without any deliberate help from me. I even have one where if I clench it, the weight of the bowl/tobacco/shank is enough to...

    Floating Black Particles

    My suspicion is that any such particles are most likely to be some of the partially-burned hydrocarbons released before the fire gets going fully in the pipe. Some of these are what settles on the rim of a pipe and forms that build-up of gunk thereupon.

    How'd They Do It: Curved Airway in Horn Stem?

    When you boil horn for a while, you can reshape it under pressure.

    Happy Kiseru Day, September 1

    The first time I ever saw one, I wondered if it originated as an opium smoker's pipe.
