    Anyone Have Solar on his House?

    I'm looking at putting solar on my new house and was wondering if anyone here has any experience with it. I'm familiar with solar in a physics class/lab setting and portable setups so what I'm really looking for is actual efficiency vs energy usage in a home setting. It used to be the ROI was...

    CAD Anyone?

    I can't be the only one afflicted with it. Ordered a box each from Smoking Pipes of Viaje Zombie red, green, and black and a second of each as a gift for someone. Grab them while they last!

    Viprati Estate Pipe Too Weird Not To Have

    I saw this Luigi Viprati estate pipe today that is odd enough to suit my tastes. This had to be a very tricky drilling job!

    Ye Goode Olde Ghoste Storie (& A Pipe)

    Another great story to enjoy with a pipe. The ending is what makes the story albeit a bit of a groaner. I immensely enjoyed it with some Bob's Chocolate Flake in a Strambach meer. For your listening pleasure from Horrorbabble:

    Beautiful pipe, beautiful Cognac, and beautiful tobacco! I was very fortunate to get this beautiful pipe directly from Silver Gray @Silvergraypipes (at a great price too) and I'm loving it. It's beautiful to look at, feels good in my hand, super light, and has a flawless draw. Giving it...

    It All Came True in the Woods (HorrorBabble)

    One of my absolute favorite pleasures is sitting on the back patio in the evening, pouring a glass of something nice, lighting a bowl of whatever tobacco takes my fancy, and listening to a good story. Pure bliss! Lately I'd been listening to a channel called "HorrorBabble" on youtube. The...

    Thank You To The Danish Pipe Shop - New Dunhill "The Don"

    I wanted to take a moment to give a shout out to site sponsor "The Danish Pipe Shop". Being on this side of the pond it would be tempting to avoid them if you're unfamiliar with international shipping but this would be a mistake. A big mistake. First, they have an excellent selection of...

    Fun Me! Yanik Is A Mad Genius!

    If I were to spend the asking price on a pipe it would be this one. Just wow! Sadik Yanik is, at times, brilliant. This belongs in a museum IMO:

    Took A Chance On A Pipe Case & It Paid Off

    Since my new Strambach meer didn't come with a case I took a chance on one from fleabay. Some of the "antique" ones looked not only too small, but very ratty. Found one for $15 that looked in good shape and about right. Got some measurements of it and figured close enough. Not too shabby...

    So These Happened - PAD!

    Decided I needed another workhorse meer in additiona to my CAO. After some searching I settled on a Strambach with a whimsical stripe angled across the stem. I looked at a really nice Andreas Bauer meer but I could buy 2 Strambachs for less than the price of it. Next is a slight departure...

    Any Nording Grade Experts Here?

    As near as I can tell, Nording pipes are graded from1 to 20 with 1 being the lowest and 20 being the highest. There are also some that have letter grading but are those strictly the SON ones or is it used for others? Are there any other grading systems used?
