    Pandemic Memes (aka cartoons)

    This reminds me of when I was young. My parents always bought in the autumn 50 pound bags of staples like this to supplement what we had grown in the garden and canned all summer. They also got a bag of flour and potatoes. If we were fortunate, dad had also shot a deer which we had froze. With...

    Pipe Smoking and Golfing

    There is no way I could smoke a pipe while golfing. I can mange it a bit when fly casting if there is no wind, but no way, no how, could I smoke a pipe with golf. If I smoked, it would have to be a cigar.

    Is Short-Wave Radio Still a Thing?

    I pulled out my shortwave a couple of years ago. A lot of the better stations have closed. I would guess this is due to access to the internet being everywhere. It used to be when you would travel abroad you could throw your shortwave into suitcase and use it to keep up on news from back home...

    Why Smoke A Pipe?

    Simple answer for me, relaxing and fun. I mostly smoke alone in a place of solitude. With that said, there was another thread on here for HAM radio pipe smokers. I would say that the dynamic that I see on here amongst pipe smokers is similar with HAMs. It's a niche sub culture that is very...

    How Are The Italian Makers Doing?

    Or for the super careful, you can always exercise the nuclear option... cherry aromatic!

    My First Trip into HH Old Dark Fired

    That is very good to know! I had not considered that! I'll make this a priority to buy in bulk. Hopefully as popular this is, Macbaren can find a way through... but this is one tobacco that I would hate to see disappear.

    My First Trip into HH Old Dark Fired

    Nice! Actually, the more I smoked ODF, the more I found myself wanting to go back to it. I could see the possibility of it becoming one of my favourite 'go to' tobaccos.

    Pre-Pandemic Behaviors That Should Stop...

    We should stop ignoring warnings that we could have an pan-epidemic even in ‘developed’ countries and set up robust national network systems to track, treat and coordinate nationally and internationally. This would hopefully then make universal lock downs a last resort nuclear option.

    Hypochondria Managed

    Good here, though the travel restrictions combined with bad weather is making giving me a bit of cabin fever. In comparison with others my smoking would be deemed light, but taking a pause in smoking in the midst of this virus stuff I think was a good check point as I was nearing the one year...

    Pipe Smokers/HAM Radio Enthusiasts

    I used to participate in the exercises held by our emergency communications nets in our area before I moved. They would set up mobile stations at key places (hospitals, Red Cross, county eco, etc) along with permanent stations to pass key communiques throughout thr region. They are in fact at a...

    Pipe Smokers/HAM Radio Enthusiasts

    HAM radio rocks and it has never been easier to get into. My big idea is to build a combo home office / ham shack / man cave in the back yard. The man cave portion is so that I have somewhere to smoke inside. I think DXing while smoking could be an awesome combo!

    Not on the air right now, but plan to be again by the second half of the year.

    Quarantine Study Project - Growing Tobacco

    Yeah for sure! As I thought about writing this post, the forum members who have cellars that fill half the garage or are spread throughout the house, will probably have little interest in growing tobacco unless they have the worst form of TAD.:eek:

    Game: 5 Lb Cellar - Must Be Reasonably Available

    This is tough as there are some tobaccos I haven't tried yet that might bump some of these off of this list. Anyhow, based on my current experience... here we go. Sweet and simple. 1 lb - Old Dark Fired 1 lb - Orlik Golden Sliced 1 lb - Full Virginia Flake 1 lb - Squadron Leader 1 lb -...

    Quarantine Study Project - Growing Tobacco

    This very good thread on the legislation forum kicked this off for me... https://pipesmagazine.com/forums/threads/get-to-plantin-boys-d-c-wont-stop-us.75868/page-2#post-36096245 So, for the past week or so I have been dipping into the tobacco growing world.

    Weighing Up COVID-19 And Smoking

    True. To be fair this is only one case and could be argued that this is too limited. To compensate for this, I have try to read widely and in the end, I am not interested in the specific outcome in this case or other cases, but the fundamental components at play - specifically respiratory...

    We Are So Screwed

    Good question. No, I don’t believe their claims for sure. I think any government is capable of concealing something in the name of what is best for national interests to prevent panic, protect national security, etc. I am not a conspiracy person, it is what history has shown over and over...
