    Continuing my quest to be a crotchety old man at 20...

    I have purchased, and received, a pocket watch. I do believe it to be beautiful, and is of course pictured with something else that is aiding me in my quest, an equally beautiful pipe.

    I've been seeing pipes/references to pipes more.

    Just little things, a pipe here and there in recent books and on the internet, the latest of which is here: www.cracked.com/blog/6-resolutions-those-with-realistic-expectations/ Sorry that it isn't really linked correctly, but my poor phone is fairly limited. Anyways, the third item in the...

    Keeping tobacco from getting destroyed.

    I like to carry a variety of tobaccos with me at all times. However, my tinned stock is dwindling, in favor of bagged blends from my B&M...and I've been having issues with the tobacco getting smashed up into nothing. I don't keep it in my back pocket or anything; my pipes and tobaccos follow...

    Well, PAD struck again...

    I was browsing on eBay, "Christmas shopping." And I ran across a 4-digit Kaywoodie yacht/zulu. It seems to be in beautiful shape and, well, I'll just link it...

    An odd occurence.

    Okay, so I am flying to see family today. And as I go through security I notice something quite odd...a TSA agent. Wearing a kefiyeh/turban. Certainly did not expect to see anything like that!

    PAD strike!

    After losing out on that Kaywoodie Magnum, I went back to eBay and looked. And got this. Two Kaywoodies I'm rather pleased...just have to figure out how to fill that hole in the bulldog's stem.

    PAD (Almost) Fulfilled

    I'm curious, was anybody else bidding on this? Pure curiosity, with no hard feelings if one of ya'll were in fact the winning bidder. I know that as a group we're quite active on eBay.

    My great grandfather

    Smoked a pipe, it seems. My grandmother just sent me a photograph of him. For some reason, she hoped that this would "give me pause..." (She isn't happy that I smoke now.) Of course, that photo does nothing but encourage me.

    The Walking Dead

    I'm just curious if anybody else on the forum watches the show. After only five episodes, it has become one of my favorite shows ever, due to excellent production values, great characters, and, of course, zombies.

    Czech tool on and the TSA

    Do any of you know if Czech tools cause an irrational fear reaction from the TSA? I've already determined that my Zippo won't cause a panic (which was surprising) but I don't want my Czech to get confiscated. Anybody have any relevant experience here? Thanks!

    Favorite Firearm(s)

    I know a lot of us here at PM love our guns. Now, I'm curious, what are your favorites? If your favorites aren't technically, umm, kosher, more power to you. I'll start off: the M1 Garand. I haven't fired a superior firearm in my (admittedly short) 19 years. They've been an...

    Well, my stinger snapped.

    I have a Kaywoodie Chinrester. It's stinger just snapped, due to unfortunate mistakes I made. (Bleach on the stem.) What is the best place to go to get a weird stem like that rebuilt? Because I will get it rebuilt, pretty much regardless of cost. Title edit: snapped. On my mobile, not so...

    Pictures Taken.

    All right, today I had to dress up, for a veterans day ceremony. Actually, I should say got to dress up...I love wearing my suit. Anyways, I got to school early, and decided to, what else, have a smoke. Apparently I cut a pretty good figure, because I had pictures taken of me and was called...

    Meerschaum

    I purchased an SMS meer today. Beautiful pipe...I'll be posting photos later tonight. Anyways, I had to order beeswax online (apprently portland doesn't like beeswax)...is it fine to smoke the pipe without the beeswax? I really want to smoke the little guy, but I definitely don't want to hurt...

    Bleach...it destroys metals. And my soul.

    I like Kaywoodie pipes. I got my first one several months ago, whereupon I dipped it's stem into a solution of pretty much full strength bleach for a few minutes, rinsed it thoroughly, let it dry, and started smoking. Fast forward to now. I now have a Chinrester, whose stem I hadn't bleached...

    The smell of the briar.

    I've found that I love the smell of (most of) my pipes. Not inside the bowl, or at the end of the shank or anything, but the smell of the wood around, say, the underside of the bowl, or right around the base on the sides. Whether new or estate, I notice this distinct woody smell. With estate...

    It seems to be a PAD-y day here on the fora...

    I just got the Kaywoodie Chinrester I ordered from GFO this last Wednesday. Very fast, free shipping. I'm most certainly going back! On to the briar, it's...I'll just photograph it. I've just gotten finished with cleaning it out. Unfortunately, I am out of bleach for the stem, so it's...

    Pipes and the fairer sex.

    What are your experiences with pipes and women? I've found that most of the women I know can't stand to smoke anything but aros, like MacB's Black Ambrosia or Vanilla Cream. Also, it doesn't seem to affect their general level of interest in me...but that may just be due to my ugly mug.

    Looking for a Chinrester Kaywoodie!

    I was dating my little covey of Kaywoodie pipes; and ran across an ad for the most preposterous of pipes: The Chinrester Kaywoodie. I'm now on a mission to locate and purchase one of these beasts. However, I have not met with success in my usual methods, so I am hoping someone in the...

    Cannot Access Profile

    You know how there are two profiles; one for pipesmagazine proper, and one for the forum? I cannot, for the life of me, access the one for the forum. When I click upon "Your Profile" whilst in the forums, I get a 403 error, and, "You don't have permission to access...
