    Brebbia Go-Go Mad Max style

    That is a very cool pipe. "The last of the Brebbia Nosewarmers." :)

    Raving About 1Q

    +1 to what Baron and Lawrence have said. Great all-around aromatic. It's not goopy by any stretch, and it doesn't overwhelm the senses. It has good flavor, an excellent room note, and it's not expensive. However, if you don't dig on aromatics for the most part, then you may want to not even...

    Smoke Rings

    I use the jaw snap as well. I take the smoke into my mouth only, no inhale, make an "o" with my mouth, and tense my tongue into the center of my mouth. Then I snap my jaw upwards which pushes the smoke out. You can make bigger rings by increasing the "o", or you can make several smaller rings...

    Ghosting Test

    Rotate and rest, you can't really lose. Some people believe in dedicating certain pipes to certain blends. Then you have people like me who don't pay attention and end up forcing a pipe to be dedicated.

    1Q ghosts

    I just posted in another thread about my Savinelli. It is strictly 1Q and MacB Seven Seas Regular now. I can't smoke any English tobaccos in it because of the ghosting. Speaking of which, I'm running out of 1Q and it is almost time to reorder.

    Ghosting Test

    Generally speaking, ghosting is something that happens over time. Switching from aro to non-aro with a short rest probably won't give you any kind of ghost. For the most part, it is when someone smokes primarily an aro heavily out of a briar over a much longer time frame. If you take your...

    List the 3 Things You Would Like to Have

    1. My mom. She passed in 2005. Some days I really miss her. 2. Good health for my wife and kids. 3. A new drum kit. I hated to have to sell my last kit, and I have absolutely no place to put a new one, I would love to play again.

    eacarey.com Smoke Shop

    I don't know about their pipes being knock-offs, however, they charge a membership fee it seems, to get to the discounted price, or you can not join, and pay a higher price. It looks like it is a $25 membership fee, and then you get the "discount" prices, which are closer to actual online...

    My only beef with Cup O' Joes

    @colcolt - Actually, at P&C, on each pipes individual page, they do at least list pipe length and bowl depth. On some of the more expensive pipes, they give other dimensions as well.

    Everyday Carry Knife - What Do You Carry?

    Kershaw Clash w/Speed-assist. Not an overly pricey knife, but she's serving me well. Kershaw Clash

    SR40c

    The EMP is an excellent choice, but will set you back almost twice the XDS and almost three times the SR9s. However, I'm all about getting the best possible gun for the money, and if you can afford it, the EMP in either 9 or 40 is a fantastic weapon.

    SR40c

    @mrenglish - If you're going to get your ccw, if you have a shop with a range and rental guns, it will be worth it to go try some different guns to get a feel for all of the options out there. If you don't have that option, and you are comfortable with a semi-auto, then I would suggest looking...

    Jackknife To Rub Or Not To Rub

    Simple. Buy a tin of jackknife ready-rubbed, and keep the plug whole. :-)

    Seven Minutes of Terror

    Our space engineers and scientists just completely blow my mind. That was totally awesome! Thanks Kevin.

    July Cartoon Caption Contest is Up

    That's my problem too. I'm just not as clever as the majority of people here. But I still enter. Glutton for punishment.

    Your favorite English Blend?

    No one, I don't believe, has mentioned GLP Westminster. Not overly complex, but very smoky and full-bodied. And +1 to Jud for mentioning Peterson's Old Dublin. It is a bit milder, and has some really nice sweet notes hiding in the background.

    Rodney King dead

    I don't know about the lady being on the jury, but to answer your question about double jeopardy, the first trial was criminal court, to determine if the officers did indeed break the law. They were acquitted, meaning they cannot have criminal charges levied against them for the same...
