20% of PM Traffic is via Mobile
Agreed. I do my best forum reading with a pipe in one hand and a smartphone in the other; often starting to reply to something but growing frustrated before a half-dozen words are typed. It amazes me that my nieces and nephews can send in excess of a thousand text messages each month, even with...- schmitzbitz

Minimize Pipe Aftereffects
I like to stand on my head, lighting my pipe with heat dredged from the bowels of the earth through one of the active magma chutes in Mt. St. Helens. This has the added effect of covering any offensive tobacco odours by completely saturating me in gasious sulphur all while raising the latent ph...- schmitzbitz

Pearlized (Acrylic) Mouthpieces
I have a couple of Comoys with pearlescent stems (and an Iwan Ries stamped bulldog that I am 90% positive is also a Comoy). They can usually be found on the Bay for pretty cheap (I think the most expensive was the IR shop pipe, which cost me a lordly $7). If you are having trouble finding a pipe...- schmitzbitz

Looking for help with this old Brigham
I would start by looking up the patent number; it should give you a good idea of when the pipe was created. Unfortunately, the pic isn't quite clear enough for me to make out - my best guesses led to a surgical laser and a sealant for underground tanks. There are a few different patents...- schmitzbitz

Save Our Twinkies
Agreed, it wont be more then a hiccup in production; I suspect that one of the other food production giants has already tentatively agreed to purchase the brandings and recipes and are just waiting for the bankruptcy-courts to approve the liquidation of Hostess' assets. I'm almost positive we...- schmitzbitz

I'll Be Around More For The Time Being
How is school treating you Uber? Does being in culinary arts mean that the 'freshman 40' becomes a 'freshman 60'?- schmitzbitz

To cake or not to cake that is the question.
He was referring to briar. In his latest book, 'In Search of the Perfect Smoke' Dr. Hanna writes of a friend of his who maintains his stable of smokers absolutely cake-free. He goes on to note that although he doesn't adhere to this practice himself, he attests that his friends pipes are all...- schmitzbitz

Straight Razor Shave
Thanks to Dochudson, I made the switch to straight-razors a couple of months back and will not go back to carts. Sure, it takes me a long time to shave now - but I enjoy the ritual aspect. There is something relaxing about the whole process - the same sort of pleasure that I take from...- schmitzbitz

Post-Op Smoke; Falling in Love - Again
For the past couple of weeks, I have been recouperating from an invasive surgery. Due to this, I simply haven't felt like smoking - be it pipe, cigar or cigarette. However, I seem to have reached a milestone in my recovery, and this morning I found myself hankering for a strong cup of tea and a...- schmitzbitz

You guys want a good laugh?
I kinda like this pipe...not for $4,500 USD, but I do kinda like it. I think I'll stick to ND (formerly TnD) Pipes for that shape (for several thousand dollars less...).- schmitzbitz

Sheffield and Sons Tobacco Question
I seem to recall a line about Shefield and Sons blends being affilated with Brigham on the pouch - although to be honest, it's been an awfully long time since I've bought any tobacco from them. I seem to recall Brian Levine mentioning that Brigham uses two different blending houses for their...- schmitzbitz

West Coast Pipe Show 2012
I was planning on attending this year, even booked my flight and hotel. Unfortunately, I have an invasive surgery scheduled on November 1st; so I won't actually be going anywhere (although if they ply me with enough morphine post-op, I might think I'm in Vegas!). Have fun guys - and take lots of...- schmitzbitz

Dry Mouth
LMAO; read this and wondered if you were suggesting I try a snoot of Biotene for my dry sinuses post-smoke - I was actually in the process of writing a thread basically stating 'WTF? Ouch no!' when I realized Photoman13 was in on the thread. The perils of PM.com'ing on a smartphone (can't see...- schmitzbitz

Dry Mouth
I don't notice this as much in my mouth as in my nostrils. After a bowl of certain types of tobacco (mostly aromatic - but not all), I can feel irritation and dryness, particularly if I have been exhaling through my nose heavily (once again, often a sign I am smoking an aromatic). I believe...- schmitzbitz

Chipped with a pipe cleaner!
I'm another of the Crazy Glue users; I like to add a little vulcanite or lucite dust to the mix when I'm filling chips or holes simply to add some colour.- schmitzbitz

My Tasting Notes
TJ; here are a couple more links you may find helpful. Reviews without Tears - by G.L. Pease on how to write a review Tobacco Flavours and Nuances - by myself, basically a list (not all encompassing, by any means) of different nuances that are quite common in tobacco blends.- schmitzbitz
