    New Peterson question

    I got a new Peterson B42 for Christmas. This is my first Peterson and I'm amazed. It is a BIG bowl but that is why I chose it. After about 15 bowls of 965, I am amazed. It is heads above the smoke I get from any of my other pipes. It is VERY cool smoking, and stays lit for almost the entire...

    How to cellar

    What say everyone, when I open a tin and decide it's not ready, do I move it to a jar or just close the tin? I move them to a jar but this may not be necessary.

    Keeping car from smelling

    I tend to smoke in my truck a lot. The smell was starting to get to me. Fortunately, no one ever rides with me. I have stared using this bag of bamboo carbon I found on line and an ionizer that plugs into the power plug. Within 24 hours...no smell! I am amazed. What are your tricks?

    Maybe times are changing

    I was working security for an A-lister Christmas party in Aspen last nite. I can get wound tight around these type of people so I stepped out to have a smoke and calm the nerves.

    Favorite pipe

    Dear Abby, I have about 20 or so pipes. I know, I have an addiction. I find that I grab the same 3 or 4 pipes all the time. I have to make an effort to smoke the other pipes in my collection. Is this normal? Conflicted in Colorado

In the last 6 months I have taken to it more vigorously and this morning with an hour drive in front of me I grabbed my favorite pipe (this week), packed a bowl of Magnum Opus and headed down the road. Eureka! I had the perfect pack, the taste...

    Filter-no filter

    You guys say there are no dumb questions so here goes. I want your opinion. I have some pipes that came with filters years ago when I bought them and I threw them away quickly. The filters, not the pipes. So...do I have to use filters in my Dr Garbows or can I smoke them without (I have been...
