    Ebay auctions with reserve

    This is an excellent discussion, and I'm enjoying it. I have recently discussed pipe selling on ebay with a known seller who has helped me on the three esoteric jewelry machines I've sold on ebay. I was happy to get rid of them, but after all of the fees, well, I wondered if it was worth it. He...

    I Think I Am Ready To Try And Evolve My Pipe Hobby.

    Great advice here. I'll only add that I totally agree with Cosmic's words on how many folks dive right into buying all sorts of gear in a new hobby, only to find out like anything else, there is an enormous amount of time needed to devote to it to become proficient. My partial list of previous...

    Harris Although I've seen these pictures before, I still get a little chill and thrill when I look at them. For you guys that don't know, Harris' cigar collection was about the same size before he gave them up for lent. Permanently.

    My First Glider Experience

    Trailboss Thanks for posting that video. I think that in about a million years I would have the balls to even think about doing that. So far since Sunday, all I've been thinking about in my free time is getting back into that glider and trying it again.

    Thanks for sharing your experience at the show. Sounds like you had a terrific time. Scott Thile is an amazing guy with quite a few talents. I own a couple of his pieces and they smoke like a dream. Not to forget that he is the creator of pipedia.org.

There are some smokers out there who will actually dedicate a pipe to each individual blend of tobacco, many others who will separate their pipes depending on 'English', Oriental, Virginia, and Virginia with Perique, and others...

    My First Glider Experience

    Michael Thanks for the encouragement. I completely relate to your feelings about this. Standing next to a full length window in an extreme high rise office building where my wife works can often make my knees wobble. It's just different for me in a plane. I draw the line with parachute jumping! LOL

    My First Glider Experience

    I've always wanted to fly like Superman. When I was younger, I would fall asleep and dream I could fly.

    Brushing Your Teeth After Smoking..

    Kalvort Just like to address the humid issue in your area. When I have a very moist tobacco and either the humidity is very high or I don't have the 1/2 hour or more to dry it out, a former member gave me this great suggestion. Get a strainer and put the tobacco into it and use a hair dryer on...
