    If I were more observant..... I would've remembered the OP first suggestion: i.e...."pipe tampers".

    Briar For Other Objects?

    Just off the top of my head: pens, tool-handles, inlays, jewelry, pendants, turning, or, carving small objects, knobs, etc. Briar is wood. Do with it, what you do with any other pieces of exotic wood..... I probably could think of some other uses, but I'm half-senile, and it's 4.56...

    Novelty and Pipe Smoking

    Got a friend with a wood/metal lathe, or, a drill press? Making a cigar-pipe is one of the easiest turning jobs for even an rank amateur wood worker. We might call it a "cigar-pipe"....but aside from the actual shape and end-use....it's nothing more than a dowel, with a hole bored into one...

    Strange Abodes?

    ********************************************************************************* I was yawning, but then you had me when my eyes read: "Gynecologist's office for a year"! WTF? I could do at least a 40 minute stand-up routine, with this kind of material!! Too bad you weren't at the last...

    Nausea

    NEVER SMOKE ON AN EMPTY STOMACH! Start by smoking the milder blends. When smoking, sip on a sweetened beverage, coffee, tea, soda, juice, , or eat a piece of fruit, melon, peach, etc. Smoke slowly....... sip often.

    Days Long Gone: Smoking in the Barbershop

    As a young kid....I hated getting my hair cut. As a young teen...I loved getting my hair cut. Actually, I loved sitting in the barber shop, waiting for my hair cut. My favorite: browsing through all the girly magazines, and peeking at all the racy calendars hanging on the barber shop walls...

    The First Blend That Got You Into Pipe Smoking

    The first blend that got me into pipe smoking was "Mixture No. 79". The first blend that got me to dislike pipe-smoking was "Mixture No. 79". I was 16 years old, and dumber than a stump. But even I knew, there must be something better. There was, and 54 years later......I'm here. Moral of...

    Opinions Regarding Stokkebye PS 41 Cube Cut

    Wear some burn-proof shirts, jackets, pants..... It snaps, crackles, and pops. I use it mainly as a component in one of my homemade mixtures. The toasty-oatmeal, flavor is nice.

    Are You a Sloppy Pipe Smoker or a Meticulous Pipe Smoker?

    Generally, things get put away in their proper places, but I'm not anal about leaving a few pipes laying around. After smoking and subsequent cleaning, they get placed in individual cloth bags....so no scratches, dents, dings, etc. I prefer things, neat....and I'm not a clutterer by nature...

    Altering The Look Of A Pipe

    Nice pipe, both ways. Years ago, (but for different reasons), I decided to turn a conventional-length meh, Charatan, into a more interesting, Charatan Churchwarden. I did the unusual conversion, by having a second, optional-stem, made for the pipe. The dual pipes, looked great, either way...

    After the aggravating, disappointing, and frightening events over the last year(s).... smiling, doesn't come easy, for me. But reading through all these postings, worked. "Ya hear what I'm sayin' "?

    My Attempts at Homemade Kretek-Like Tobacco for Pipe (With Recipe)

    I'm reading thru all the warnings about health risks from smoking Kretek, and I'm both somewhat confused, and concerned. I assumed that KRETEK PIPE-TOBACCO will not be inhaled by the smoker....correct? Or, did I miss something, or misunderstand how Kretek pipe-tobacco will be used? I want to...
