    New Dr.

    I have one, traded into it via Ejames. They are nice pipes. It isn't a regular in my rotation, but it does get some use.

    Walker Briar Works. They did a complete restem on my GBD Congress, and floated the logo onto the new stem properly.

    Any interest in audiobook reviews?

    I would be interested. I listen to them on my way to work. I subscribe to Escape Pod, Pod Castle, and Pseudo Pod. Am almost finished with "Rogues of the Black Fury".

    Smoke Rings

    I can do it, but I don't know how I do it. I just watched some other folks doing it, and soon I was doing it.

    Drugstore Blends biting me like a Rattlesnake

    As well, it is odd you like Ephiphany. To me, it was the vilest smoke ever. I sent what I had to EJames to torture him, and he liked it. He sent me some Roma Vita once to punish me, and I buy a tin of it a month. http://wvsmokeshop.com/sirwalterraleighpouches.aspx BTW, I can only speak for the...

    Drugstore Blends biting me like a Rattlesnake

    They mostly smoked, to me, dry and like a cigarette. The SWR, to me, has just a bit of mild sweetness to it. Hard to place what it is, but it is noticeable to my palate. The kind of smoke that you could have at odd moments of the day, enjoy, burns well, easy to light, but if you have to dump...

    Drugstore Blends biting me like a Rattlesnake

    The only codger blend that I enjoy, at least so far, is Sir Walter Raleigh. They are all so inexpensive, it may be worth buying a half dozen 1.5 oz. pouches to find one you like.

    100% Perique

    It is much better to have perique in your bowl, than a prick in your bowels.

    Disappointed in myself and bummed...

    I am a Texas Correctional Officer. I can assure you that prison is no place for anyone. I had a bit of a tumultuous childhood, myself. You can grow out of it if you put you mind to it.

    Question regarding marijuana ghosting in a briar pipe

    "Tetrahydrocannabinol (play /ˌtɛtrəˌhaɪdrɵkəˈnæbɨnɒl/ tet-rə-HY-drə-kə-NAB-i-nol; THC), also known as delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC), is the principal psychoactive constituent of the cannabis plant. First isolated in 1964,[5][6][7] in its pure form, it is a glassy solid when cold, and...

    Question regarding marijuana ghosting in a briar pipe

    I doubt very seriously any of the above regarding the mail. THC is fat soluable. If you ream or retort the cake to nil, I can't see any reason it would "soak "into briar, it not being an oil or liquid Your ghosts are likely of the normal variety, and a solid cleaning is the best idea. I...

    Very strange Kaywoodie on ebay

    I have no interest in the pipe, but if I did, I would ask if he has had it "for many years", I would want to know from where and from whom did he get it? If he had an opportunity to see and purchase things that were no longer "on the market" from Kaywoodie, it would explain a lot. This would...

    Very strange Kaywoodie on ebay

    Working in a pawn shop part time, I am familiar with this sort of thing. True story. Fellow comes in and has a rifle that "dates back to the Korean War" and wants it evaluated for sale. I am busy with another customer, but can overhear the conversation with one of the other guys. Basically it...

    Very strange Kaywoodie on ebay

    I can assure you that the "KBB" and the Chinese pipe are the same, all the way down to the casting "flash" running down the bowl-base. The location of the KBB on the top of the stem is actually no issue. I gave PawPaw a Kaywoodie panel pipe with the clover in the same location. But the pipe...

    I was told that English blends smell like an old burning house

    A good English blend will smell like you are sitting in the back seat of a 78 Camaro with leaky T-tops, next to a wet Labrador, while the guy behind the wheel is power braking the hell out of it. But it smokes a lot better than those rear tires do.

    Sir Walter Raleigh Regular - Pipe Tobacco Review

    SWR has become my "go to" smoke. Good, easy to light, burns well, and cheap enough so I can knock out half a bowl on the ground if i have to do something else in a hurry.

    Everyday Carry Knife - What Do You Carry?

    Hell, I will make it easier. All this can obviously change depending on various situations, but this is how I am "dressed" 90% of the time I am not in uniform. The cuff key is an affectation, as I couldn't use that one on the job, and have no use for having it off the job.

    Everyday Carry Knife - What Do You Carry?

    I carry a Smith and Wesson SWAT Tactical folder and a Solingen "cat" knife as daily carry.
