    Zanthal's Avatars

    Hmm, that's odd. I've been using Gimp for about 8 years, I update it when they do, and I've never had an issue. One can always scan it after they download it, just to be sure.

    Zanthal's Avatars

    Has anyone ever heard of The Gimp? This is a free, open-source image editor. Very similar to Photoshop, just not quite as powerful. It has some really cool animation presets built in, and you can also build animations from scratch using just Gimp. There are also some really good tutorials on...

    Smoking in public is drawing too much attention from the teenagers...

    I believe that the age of the person smoking the pipe is a big factor here. I've never had this happen to me in public since I've come back to pipe smoking, but I've busyhands' experience when I was in my late teens, early 20s. Teens are naturally curious, especially when a 'peer' is possibly...

    Sutliff day!

    Molto Dolce is a good smoke, if you dry it out some and sip it slowly. Not a go to by any stretch, but nice when you're wanting something sweet.

    Ever Chew Your Pipe Tobacco?

    I would think using fingernail clippers to do 'that' would be painful Top. :rofl:

    Indiana Smoking Ban - Logic Prevailed This Time

    Jud, thank you for pointing that out. Political, and religious. Not cool. I'm relatively new here, but at least I can follow the rules.

    Aging tobacco

    The general rule of the thumb on here is that it makes sense to age primarily English tobaccos, because they will mellow out and change flavors with time. Supposedly, aging aromatics is pointless because they tend to not change significantly with time. However, I'm not to the point where I'm...

    How You Clean Your Pipe After Smoking

    When I "deep clean" I scrape the bowl down, and then use a touch of Jack Daniels' on a cotton swab and scrub out the shank and stem, then run a fluffy pipe cleaner through both to wick up the excess alcohol. If there seems to be an excessive amount of funk, I'll use a bristle pipe cleaner with...

    My new Vauen Giant 9mm Filter Pipe

    Awesome pipe and nice TAD haul! I don't know much about Vauen, other than them being a German company. Don't apologize for large pics, those of us with older eyes appreciate them.

    Old piper's tale?

    Just my 2 cents, but I have noticed that most aromatics tend to get bitter if you smoke them too hot/wet. It's happened to me on several occasions. When it did happen, I'd just give the pipe a good cleaning, and everything would be fine. I've noticed that, for me, English tobaccos can be...

    MM Filterless Nosewarmer

    I love to smoke English in my cob. There's always a very subtle hint of something sweet in the background with a cob, and it really adds another dimension to an English.

    Our Signs of The Times

    "I'd like a double quarter pounder, two large fries, and two 16 ounce drinks please." You see, there are ways around stupid laws, anyone with half a brain will do just that.

    Quitting cigs

    That's taking a poop and setting it on fire even. Wow. I just came over to say that today, I'm not going to smoke a single cig, and I'm going to smoke only my pipes. I hope I can do it.

    Finds at the Antique Mall

    That radio/pipe rack is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Back when radio was pretty much the only mass medium, that would've been the perfect thing to have. Thanks for sharing these!
