    just something in the news

    I'm sure the hordes of hate-mail and phone calls one Randy Snell of Warren, Michigan will receive from Kid Rock fans will probably give him cause to think twice before whining again. Or, at least give him cause to think twice before talking to the folk at Delaware Online; way to call him out!

    You Aren't Rid Of Me Yet!

    This still makes me laugh; pleasantly puffing away on a pipe brings to mind connotations of drug-use, but hey, snort this brown stuff, its cool! :crazy: (And yes, I realize that snuff is probably frowned upon too; and you were on the down-low with it...)

    You Aren't Rid Of Me Yet!

    Welcome back; and don't leave us hanging...how was the evaluation? And by that I mean not only how do you feel you did, but how did you like the campus and curriculum?

    Menthol tobacco?

    A pinch of mentholated snuff on a plain Burley or Va makes for a wonderful mentholated powerhouse (snuff in the bowl always sends me reeling, dunno why...I can handle my nic with the best of 'em, probaby placebo effect).

    Giants/Pack

    My thoughts exactly; although I'm still hoping to see Baltimore edge out New England next week, so I can at least feel apathetic towards one of the teams...

    Broken Pipe Hilo Johhny

    My clay pipe broke!!! I need a new pipe!!!

    I'm a big proponent of Brigham Pipes, which you can find through Pipes&Cigars. They use a drilled rock-maple dowel as filter system, which does provide more absorbancy verses straight briar (although not like a brand spanking new clay).

    Good Morning

    Must be nice - I woke up to this... Taken about an hour and a half ago, and It's still coming down hard.

    Price drop on tins @ smokingpipes.com

    Anyone else read that in Kevin's voice, but sung to the tune of "Lets all go to the lobby" of movie-theater fame?

    Having a (Non-Pipe Related) Conundrum; and Would Welcome Your Imput

    Thanks for your thoughts guys; unfortunately my wife is just as confused by this as I, as both the pro's and contra's balance each other out seemingly. You have all given me some excellent food for thought, however, and I think I'll check out the "info-session" and interview they've asked me to...

    Having a (Non-Pipe Related) Conundrum; and Would Welcome Your Imput

    As some of you know, I am self-employed as a business and immigration consultant. This pays me fairly well, plus gives me the benefit of being able to set my own hours, and of course, all the various goodies that go along with running a home-office come tax time. The downside to this is that...

    Weather vs. Pipe/Tobacco

    I'll go against the grain on this one. I've inherited a Peterson Dublin 80s with a huge chip out of the side that lives in my center console. So far, it's surviving the Canadian winter with no detrimental effects. I do allow it to warm to my hand before I apply flame though. I know my...

    Vintage Tobacco Ad's

    Those are great Charles! I love old advertising; I'm slowly building up a collection to utilize as hanging art in my "man-cave".

    Unsmoked 7 Day Matched Grain Kaywoodie Set

    *sigh* And all I ever find in the corners are spiders, and while Cyndi might smoke those, I don't...too bitey... :P

    Blending question - Latakia and aromatics??

    Samuel Gawith Chocolate Flake is the first thing that popped into my head when you said this; a nice, earthy Virginia / Latakia flake, with just a touch of cocoa casing. Not the only aromatic on the market with Latakia in the recipe, but probably my favourite (that I've encountered). A lot of...

    Cant git cleaner tru new Clay

    LMAO; brewshooter, you sir have caused me to shoot my brew. nsfisher - perhaps a tapered pipe-cleaner, or the Falcon brand extra thin cleaners would work?

    New meer came today

    Wow, that is very impressive! And here I thought I didn't like flower figurals (despite my only meer being a tulip...but not like that!).

    Some Tobacco Reviews by Pipe Novelist

    Entertaining reads Pipe Novelist; to try and answer your questions re: crumble cakes, here is what I do: I start off by physically slicing a "flake" off of the cake, against the grain of the tobacco. This will often crumble some as I cut it, and won't look like it was produced by a tobacconists...

    Sunday Fun & Meeting People

    Man, I gotta stop making kids so I can live the "Snow-bird" life; I was starting to forget what a sunny day looked like!
