    Pipestud Is A Mensch!

    Sable I saw that Barling guinea grain and was watching it. Never, ever would I have known the difference. Now that you have clearly explained it, I'm sure I still wouldn't know. Clearly, you are the man. Kudo's to Steve.

    Ebay is so frustrating

    Kids...

    Just the other day I mentioned to my wife that my investment in pipes will 'go on and on, through our grandchildren'. Oh boy, I did it then. 'What do you mean????? (loud voice). God forbid our grandchildren smoke pipes" Judiciously, I just slinked away downstairs to smoke.

    What Would You Do - Norwoods Pipe Repair

    Condor That was a good one. I've used Walker and they have done good work for me, although I waited several months for the repairs. They did provide a time line to let me know appx when it would be next in the queue.

    Smoking while Driving?

    I have 2 distractions in my car-smoking my pipe and listening to novels on audio. I drive at least 30 minutes to and from work, and quite a bit more when I have to go to NYC for business. I never know how I get to where I'm going until I'm there.
