    Wholesomely Disturbing

    I don't think you read too much into it at all. On the surface it's a clever and bizarre juxtaposition, but when you look at it from a meter back it takes on such dark overtones as to be brilliant. Especially the end monologue about the big rain, with all the characters fluttering through the...

    Wholesomely Disturbing

    It's 4-star brilliant, and funny in that biting, cringing, satirical way that makes it more than the sum of its disparate parts. It deserves its own thread. Taxi Driver was a social commentary on the immediately post-Vietnam American mind; this guy Bryan Boyce has subtly updated it to speak to...

    Flea market find

    If you're sending one to the hospital for a repair, send them both. You won't regret it, and you'll have 2 beautiful pipes for far less than you'd get either one new.

    Cellaring

    One thing worth mentioning with cellaring tins: keep them away from moisture. I've begun keeping all my tins in large waterproof plastic storage containers with a silica gel packet, after noticing some surface rust on tins that were around last summer on my shelf. OCD? Maybe. But I know that...

    Any one smoke Blackpool

    Do it! Worst that will happen is you can trade it off or cellar it for later. I have been underwhelmed by most Esoterica offerings; the liquorice is very mild in this one, and is mainly to temper the flavor, not make it an aromatic. It's good, but not great, for me--but you may love it.

    Dublin-esque Nosewarmer Sitter

    I love the turquoise in the pitting--turning a "flaw" into a highlight of natural beauty is very Zen, and works magnificently here. :clap:

    Questions for Veteran Smokers...

    To clarify, I believe steyrshrek is recommending this not to taste your pipe or to look cool (though it accomplishes both), but to help prevent rim char from use of the lighter. :lol: Stick with matches, it's better for the tobacco and for the ritual of it. As far as tobacco selection--just...

    Tea & Tobacco - 2nd Article by Romeowood

    Of course this is largely a matter of personal taste, as in everything gustatory that we indulge in. With that proviso, I'll be happy to share what works for me, as it's something I've obviously given a lot of thought to (perhaps too much :lol: ) Early Grey is a wonderful tea that it's hard to...

    Sunza Bitches

    Interestingly, Frenchy's has less Perique in it than Anniversary Kake--due to the components of the blend, though, particularly the bright Virginia, the nicotine tends to kick a little harder. It's one of my favorites in the genre, for sure.

    Grow Your Own Tobacco?

    Yes, but if a community of home growers develops all over the country, there could be a thriving trade network...

    What Are You Smoking? May 2012

    NYPC Jack's Shanty (some of last summer's prototypes and the new stuff) in a variety of billiards. Man is this stuff good.

    Questions for Veteran Smokers...

    Just remember to take your time and do everything consciously, the rest falls into place. And there's always good advice here ^

    Smoke em if you got em EVERYWHERE

    Pipeinhand makes a good point about the image of a pipesmoker needing to be re-introduced to the masses, and I applaud that as well as live it--I've personally gotten hundreds of compliments and only one negative comment that I can recall. Jonahtke is right though; there's too much money in the...

    Music battle: Merle Haggard vs. Waylon Jennings

    Hag without a doubt, though Waylon was a great foil for a lot of the movers in that scene.
