    Please Be Considerate of Everyone

    Everyone needs to remember this is Kevin's business. I wouldn't expect to he served in his restaurant cursing like a sailor, insulting his clientele and suupliers, with my package hanging out, why would I expect it here? While it is easy to think of these boards as our own...indeed, even as a...

    What Did You do Today?

    Took my truck into the shop, seems back windows don't stop shifting 2x4's from entering the cabin. Feel funny driving this Paris longer, pretty sure I could almost fit it in my trucks box. Also changed up my avatar, now you all have to.deal with my ugly mug staring at you all day. Oh, and that...

    Great Photos Thread

    A shot I took somewhere north of Clinton, British Columbia this summer (featuring my wife and son).

    3 Years Ago Today

    Congrats Kevin, and Happy "Birthday" Pipes Magazine! I suspect I speak for more than one or two when I say that without this wonderful resource, I probably would have set my pipes down long ago. Kudos for creating a wonderful product, and allowing this community to flourish around it; and know...

    Find Tobacco!

    A good start might be telling us where you are trying to get it to...you note where the tobacco is made, but fail to mention where you live! :-)

    Please Do Me a Favor

    Pipes and Cigars?

    I smoke the occasional cigar, but with the prohibitive Canadian prices on tobacco products, I fear that it will never be more than a couple of stogies per month. In all honesty, while I love cigars (especially those with Maduro wrappers, mmmm), I am just too damn cheap to be shelling out $20+...

    Spirits and Bowl Cleaning

    When it comes to spirits, the higher the proof the better - if you have access to Everclear (Clear Springs, Moonshine, etc.) or overproof (151 proof) spirits they will work the best. Otherwise, I would recommend using 99% Isopropyl Alcohol. I would recommend picking up a medicine dropper, as it...

    Pipe Smoking in Video Games

    Yeah, I can think of lots of cigar and cigarette smoking portrayed in video games, but outside of Lord of the Rings themed games, the only pipe-smoker that comes to mind was the dog character in Tales of Vesperia. Yes, the dog. He smokes a pipe. Deal with it.

    SWTOR

    I'm with Sherlock, always rolled Sith first, be it in KOTOR or in SWG...well, Empire in the latter.

    Tobacco has a new leaf

    Yeah, that was quite the opening sentence. I know I read the article with a closed and defensive frame of mind from the reporters first word (Warning) on...which is unfortunate, because this is probably the only presentation of article that an anti *may* accept.

    Mississippi River

    I picked up both a tin and an ounce of bulk for my reviews of the SPC blends, and am happy to report no difference in flavour on either the Mississippi River or Plum Pudding (I didn't buy any of the Seattle Evening in bulk, although I did grab a couple of tins). The biggest difference I found in...

    November, 2011 - What are you Smoking?

    By strange coincidence, I find myself smoking Irish Flake in a Pete Dublin 80S whilst reading Trinity by Leon Uris. All I need is some poteen and I'm set. Edit: 777th post

    Deoxidize a Stem?

    It all depends on how deep the oxidization runs. If it is minor (close to the surface), I'll simply hit the stem with micro-mesh pads (available through woodworking or automotive body-shop supply stores), working from coarse to fine. To deal with any niggly bits around the button, I use a dental...

    General Questions - Storage, Alcohol, Stems ...

    Just a word of warning, the Methylated spirits you are using are extremely toxic. The 95% Ethanol contained in said bottle isn't the same as the Ethanol in a bottle of Jack; but rather a petro-chemical product produced using acid-catalyzed hydration of ethylene rather then through natural...

    Can Someone in USA Explain What the Heck These Are:

    Hey, me too! It was the dog, honest... (Sorry, I have nothing constructive to add, I just can't help myself when it comes to low-brow humour. And now for a bowel full of Merde de Cheval)
