    Your Best Pipes Under $100 You Smoke

    Of all the pipes I have bought over the last 10 years, only one was over $1oo. That was a commissioned meer.

    Empty Tobacco Cans

    I decorate my garage / pipe lounge with empty tins. My garage has plywood. I simply put a screw through the empty tin and into the wall. Then I twist the tin lid onto the tin that is anchored to the wall.

    Pipe Smoking and Mental Health

    I enjoy the taste of tobacco and the feeling of the pipe. But the greatest part of smoking a pipe, is just sitting still. A time to stop and think, plan, cogitate, etc. BUT, for the last 2 weeks, I have been sick and can't smoke. I had one bowl and regretted it. Since my wife is asthmatic and...

    The (Un)Official PipesMagazine Secret Santa 2021!

    I have been sick since before Christmas. Today, I opened a tin of Regents Flake. I finished shovelling the snow on the driveway and the sidewalks. We has 2-3" of snow to move. Glade to be done and relax with a new bowl. It tastes great. Life is good. If anyone needs me, I will be under the...

    The (Un)Official PipesMagazine Secret Santa 2021!

    I would like to thank my SS for Rattray's Black Virginia and 2021 Cringle Flake. I have not tried either of these blends. Also, my SS went through my posts and found out I like chocolate and peanut butter. Thanks for all the Reeses! Today, we are finally warming up. It is 43 degrees now...

    Don't Want to Spend a Lot on a Rack

    My pipe racks are constructed between studs on the right and left side a door in utility room. My wife installed some green cloth to showcase the pipes. The left side holds bent pipes, with shelves that hold the pipes. The right side is for straight pipes. I simply installed a 1'' x 1" with a...

    Right now, it is 19 degrees. But Christmas day will be between 34-49. This will be awesome weather for smoking the new tobacco.

    It is getting harder and harder to wait to open the SS package. Last week, I got some red and green markers and made the brown box much more festive!

    My SS package arrived. As usual, I had my wife open the box to inspect for pies, etc. But she said, "No baked goods, but, don't get it near a source of heat!" Now I am even more curious. I certainly hope to be able to burn something on Christmas afternoon.

    The (Un)Official PipesMagazine Secret Santa 2021!

    Over the years, I have developed a process for handling the SS box. When it arrives on our porch, I hand it to my wife and she open it, to inspects the contents. If she finds anything edible, she gives it to me. Then she closes the box and puts it under the tree, until Christmas. WHY? Because I...

    Best Joke Ever!

    Today, I remembered my best joke ever! When the kids were young, Josh asked me, "What are the advantages and disadvantages of plastic surgery?" I BEAMED! I finally got to tell this joke. Laura jumped in, "KIDS, WHATEVER DAD SAYS, DON'T BELIEVE HIM!. Josh has already put his head on the table...

    Sleep Problems caused by Smoking all Day?

    I use a CPAC also. Occasionally, I am too tired / just can't figure out how to use the gizmo. My new CPAC has a gizmo to tell me (actually my wife) how much sleep I get. This one works much better. As far as sleep, I usually go to bed very early. This helps me. I only smoke one bowl a day. My...
