    What are You Reading?

    Yesterday I started The World Beyond the Hill: Science Fiction and the Quest for Transcendence (1989), by Alexi and Cory Panshin. I read it in the 1990s and got in the mood to read it again. When I get offline I'm diving back in.

    How many blends do you have?

    Only 3 in stock. I'm new to pipe smoking and have been focused on getting pipes. I've tried 11 blends (4 of them OTC) so far. To be honest, I could probably be content smoking just Nightcap.

    pipe cleaning. help needed...

    Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe alcohol is bad for the exterior of the stem. I've been wondering if cold coffee would work or be detrimental. It cleans the lip and doesn't seem to discolor it.

    Do I Need a Big-Bowled Pipe?

    My largest pipe is a Billiard with a chamber diameter of .92 inches and chamber depth of 2.12 inches. It gives a long smoke, perfect for times like settling in to a movie or a relaxing book. When I shop for wish list pipes I go for .80 inches and above, preferably above.

    HELP!! fathers day gift...savenelli pipe??

    I'd rather get a gift card than someone choosing a pipe unless they already knew a specific pipe I wanted. It may seem counterintuitive but giving a gift card in this case is actually being more thoughtful. That's how I'd see it if it happened to me.

    I'm a newbie and was wondering how many bowls a day do you smoke?

    About 4 to 12, depending on how much I'm at home, since that's where I smoke.

    A bit on the serious side - how long have you been smoking and family reaction

    My family has no problem with my pipe smoking, which I just took up 2-1/2 months ago. I'm 58, with no kids and no woman, so the possibility of complaint from there can't arise. Sorry your family is so controlling. Remind them that you're an adult.

    I made another mistake. The second video above is a duplicate of the first, run twice.

    I should have been clearer that the videos are about Lovecraft.

    Dunhill Baby's Bottom vs. Russ' Match

    I have a silly comment. The name Baby's Bottom does not entice me. I think of powder smells and baby oil. Why on Earth was a tobacco given this name?

    Any Mason's in the House?

    By all means, let's not pass moral judgment based upon the vagaries of politics or religion. Because then the discussion would become about political or religious truth and thereby about the justification of that judgment. Internet forums are a poor place to present fully reasoned viewpoints.

    What are You Reading?

    Chasingembers - The Annotated H.P. Lovecraft, by Leslie S. Klinger is well worth the cost. I discovered Lovecraft when in High School and am a big fan. Klinger has also annotated the entire Holmes canon, and I plan to get that sometime in the next year. Back in the late 1970s I read the...

    How Long Have You Been Smoking A Pipe?

    People sometimes have mentioned in a post how long they've been a pipe smoker, and I like knowing, now that I'm becoming familiar with the personalities associated with the name and, especially, the avatar. So how long has it been for you? It's been just 2-1/2 months for me. And I already have 7...

    Any Mason's in the House?

    My Paternal Great Grandfather came to the U.S. via Canada from Scotland (the Clan is from the far northern Highlands) . His son was a Mason (so I'm sure Great Grandpa was, too), and became head of the local Lodge where they lived. Dad's older brother was also a Mason, and several of Dad's...
