    A Morta Munchin' Fiend...

    I'm known for making the occasional pipe, but I also apparently make really tasty doggy treats...I sold this pipe a few weeks ago to a great guy on the West Coast and didn't hear anything after it arrived- I finally got the gory details this weekend. He smoked the pipe one time- probably with...

    Breaking News From The BBC: 7,000-year-old Native American Burial Site Found.

    If you look at it from the Mods standpoint- we love healthy, interesting discussions.

    America, Can We Have Our Weather Back Please?

    I remember reading an article from Great Britain a few years ago saying that they were not expecting to see snow in the coming years...Since the news reported no snow in your future, you'll probably have a blizzard in Baku next winter...:)

    Breaking News From The BBC: 7,000-year-old Native American Burial Site Found.

    I'm not sure...Blind Pass was closed off due to dredging and shifting currents a few decades ago. The hurricanes played Hell with all the beaches in Sarasota...Time to bring in the offshore dredges and pump a few million dollars worth of sand on the beaches... Another pretty cool thing off...

    Tighter Draw- Am I Alone Here?

    The briar pipes I make are all 5/32-roughly 4mm...my bamboo pipes tend to be 3mm because of the carbon fiber or stainless tube I use- they tend to have smaller bowls. If you feel a draw is too open, just pack the tobacco tighter...

    Breaking News From The BBC: 7,000-year-old Native American Burial Site Found.

    I just deleted a couple of posts hijacking this thread. You’ll find little tolerance from the mods with individuals who continue to hijack threads in ways that force them to be closed.

    Breaking News From The BBC: 7,000-year-old Native American Burial Site Found.

    Florida’s coastline has changed dramatically- that village was well inland at the time. Apparently Florida used to be twice as large 26,000 years ago. On the Gulf side, the coastline was almost 100 miles further west...Florida Coastline during Ice Age

    Guys, this one’s been dancing on the edge, but I wanted to let everyone get their point across...Time to invoke Rule 7-. Discussion of electronic cigarettes, or any other electronic nicotine delivery device is forbidden.
