    Three Questions

    agreed, but only slightly. I actually don't mind fills as long as it's well done and does not appear to have further cracking.

    Problem With One Tobacco and Not The Other

    +100 on what others said about moisture content. For a few years I smoked RYO cigarette blends out of my pipe, but when I tried "real" tobaccos I had problems until I accidentally discovered drier tobacco burns better. There is a bit of a fine line between enough moisture for optimal flavor and...

    Fictitious Estate Pipe Back Stories - a Creative Challenge

    BTW.... Apologies to Mr. Lovecraft. I just thought there needed to be a Lovecraftian pipe story. Maybe someone with more fiction writing talent could do a little better. I would love to see someone do one in the style of Douglas Adams or Christopher Moore. I just don't have the comedic...

    Fictitious Estate Pipe Back Stories - a Creative Challenge

    You should not read this if you have a weak constitution. On second thought, keep reading, you will only think me mad. I am mad, but anyone would share this madness if they experienced the night as I did. After hours of driving through wild, God-forsaken country with sleep threatening to...

    Trouble With P&C Site (02/18/2017)

    Thanks Russ, and all the hard working people at P&C. the code didn't work for me either - although the site seems to be working now. I'll try calling tomorrow. If this was a bit of a headache for me, I'm sure it was multiplied times many for the folks working there. I love technology, but...

    Trouble With P&C Site (02/18/2017)

    Update: I tried to leave a message through "contact us", but got an error message to try again later. I then called (after hours) and got a recording that ended by saying "Voice mail not available." This is frustrating. Always had great experiences with these guys before. FYI here is a copy...

    I never go fishing without a cob. Light easy clenching pipe and low maintenance to boot.

    Best Live Band(s)

    I'm pleasantly surprised by the number of people that have mentioned Jesus Lizard! I've always liked those guys, but unfortunately the only time I saw them, David Yow was so drunk he could barely get through the set. Kind of like the 2nd time I saw Skinny Puppy and Ogre kept falling down and...

    Best Live Band(s)

    Yeah, he surprised me also - much later though. Not a fan of CSNY, but something about Neil. The Worst/great voice. Saw Fugazi, but never got the chance to see a young Ian I've wanted to see those guys since I was very young (late 70's or so) listening with my Cousin in Grandma's basement.

    German Pipes (Ingo Garbe, Hasso Baudis, Karl Joura)

    Wow, nice collection. I do not collect German pipes, but I do like the look of many of your pipes. Uh-oh. Now I have another group of pipes I.... must.... resist

    Best Live Band(s)

    You saw Misfits ?!?! I'm jealous. I had the chance to see Danzig, but thought he had become a sad cartoon at that point. Also had a chance to see a new incarnation of Misfits, but didn't think it was worth it without Danzig.... The original though (Danzig, Jerry Only, Bobby Steele/Doyle, and...

    Best Live Band(s)

    Posting in the "What are you listening to" thread, I cited the best live show. But then started thinking.... I have several "Bests" based on current mood and different criteria. I've seen many that qualify as the "Best" for different reasons. Of the 30ish "Big" acts I've seen and countless...

    White gloves? Why?

    To some people, this is a way to keep only tobacco coloring the meer without influence of skin oils. Those folks have their opinion and I respect their point of view. Personally for me, it's silly and I would feel ridiculous wearing white gloves. My pipes are all to smoke in my "everyday"...
