    I Bought A Pack Of Dill's Pipecleaners At Kroger Tonight

    Phil, This sums up perfectly my feelings and what I was attempting to express when I put this thread up. I'm just sick to death of this zero tolerance nanny state bullshit. :(

    I Bought A Pack Of Dill's Pipecleaners At Kroger Tonight

    There is no law here in Georgia that one must show an ID to buy alcohol or tobacco, only that you must be 21 to buy alcohol and 18 to buy tobacco. My problem is with the stupidity of demanding an ID from someone who is obviously well over the age required to buy it. What the hell is the point...

    The Gurgling Pipe

    I can't stand a wet smoker, I have a Peterson that smokes wet and it is also a straight stem. I'm not sure what causes it in some pipes especially straight stemmed pipes smoking good English blend tobaccos like the Dunhill blends. I have other pipes that will smoke just about anything and...

    I Bought A Pack Of Dill's Pipecleaners At Kroger Tonight

    Come to suburban Atlanta and try to buy booze or pipe cleaners. A few months ago I was in the same Kroger and the woman in front of me was checking out and had a bottle of wine. They carded her and then told her she couldn't buy it because her drivers' licence was expired. It had her f***ing...

    Breaking in a new pipe is hard work!

    This has been my experience as well.

    How do you flavor tobacco??

    This is good advice. I bought bulk VA/Per blends from Craig Tarler for many years and I used to spread a pound out on newspaper and spritz it with Evan Williams bourbon from a spray bottle, mix it around and spritz it a bit more then let it dry for a day or two. Craig always packaged his...

    List the Star Wars movies from most to least favorite

    I've never seen a Star Wars movie. I've seen all the Star Trek movies though, Wrath of Khan being my favorite.

    Sanitizing an Ebay Pipe

    I would clean it up and then send it out for ozone treatment.

    New Years Eve Whisky/Burbon/Scotch Choice

    I agree with Warren. Jameson's is good stuff, I've drank a lot of it with my 80 year old Irish neighbor. Spend 20 or 30 bucks on a bottle of Jameson's and spend the remainder on a new pipe and some tobacco.

    How long would 10 lbs of tobacco last you?

    One pound will last me about 4 months so I guess 10 pounds would last me about 3 1/2 years.

    What Is The Lifespan Of A Briar Pipe?

    This is the best pipe I have ever owned. It's 50 years old and I'll bet one of my grandkids will be smoking it years from now if smoking is still legal. :lol:

    What Is The Lifespan Of A Briar Pipe?

    You are correct, I have the forum and member ssjones to thank for this. I was actually a bit mad at myself for buying it because I really couldn't afford it after paying for Christmas for the kids but I figured I may never find another I could afford so I took the plunge. After smoking it, boy...

    I Bought A Pack Of Dill's Pipecleaners At Kroger Tonight

    ...and had to show my ID in order to buy them. I'm almost 50 effing years old and had I not shown my drivers' license they wouldn't have sold them to me. I have gray hair and they know I'm old yet they still demand the damned ID. I am so damn sick of losing my liberties in order to protect...

    What Is The Lifespan Of A Briar Pipe?

    I ask this question because I recently purchased a 1965 Dunhill from Mike at Briar Blues and it smokes like you would not believe. This pipe is so much better than every pipe I have ever owned over the past 20 years (my pipes are not drugstore pipes but Petersons, Savinellis, Barlings, and...

    How Do You Open a New Tin of Tobacco?

    This would seem at first glance to be a dumb question but it is anything but. I rubbed the skin off my right hand trying to unscrew the lid of the first tin of tobacco I bought. I had to watch a Youtube video to figure out how to open it. Easy once you know how but not intuitive at all.

    Becoming a Dad (Update)

    I remember one of the ultrasounds for our oldest. We had told them we didn't want to know the sex but I thought I caught a glimpse of a third leg (kidding, but I saw something). I asked the technician and she said "I'm not telling because you said you didn't want to know". They gave us a...
