    Pipe(s) That You Will Never Smoke...

    I used to have one, but I sold it... because I never smoked it!

    Watch Out or Watch on? Pt 2.

    My daily driver is a Citizen. I like how light this Bulova is. This one is a little bigger and heavier, but I still like to wear it on occasion.

    Confession is Good for the Soul (So They Say)

    It was about 7 years ago, that the first time I ever packed a pipe perfectly. I wasn't even paying attention to what I was doing. I utilized the old codger scoop method from a pouch of Amphora regular and when I realized it was the perfect pack, I just broke down what I did and tried to emulate...

    How About Not Designating Pipes?

    I don't smoke aro's or latakia, so I don't concern myself with ghosting. I smoke whatever I want in whichever pipe I happen to choose at the moment.;)puffy

    Capstan

    Being a big Tolkien fan, I bought a tin of the blue Capstan and found it to be a bit boring, so I added about 12% perique to it and jarred it up for a few months! It's much better now! puffy

    Lord of the Rings Pipe Smoking Scene

    Yeah, if you order a pipe that is not in stock, it could take a while to get it. I read where some people waited up to 3 months, but if you order one that is in stock, you should get it fairly quickly. I ordered one that was in stock and got it in a week.

    CZECH Pipe Stinger [Do Hickey]

    It's a stinger, I hate'em and always remove them if I can, IMO they restrict the draw and serve no other real purpose. I think they are supposed to minimize gurgling or something to that effect, but I think that's a load of horse puckey, YMMV.

    Festivus: Let the Airing of Grievances Begin!

    Working on Christmas Eve, Eve when all of my co-workers are off today. I sent out an email and everyone replied back "Are you working today?". Hell even my wife has the day off!

    Buyer Beware: Leftturnvintage On Ebay

    I still buy stuff on Ebay occasionally (mainly coins), but I no longer buy pipes on there.

    Perique Heavy Blend

    I sometimes add a small pinch of granulated perique to a blend, prior to packing, just to kick it up a little.

    What do you Think about Mesh Balls?

    I don't mind a bit of dottle at the end of a smoke, however I cannot abide something being in my pipe chamber other than tobacco. I have a Nording keystones pipe and I do like to smoke it on occasion, but I dislike it when I smoke it all the way the the bottom (too far) and can taste the...

    That Time of the Year

    Our neighbor would make it every year, with dates, cherries, pineapple and spiced rum and she always gave us one, it was delicious! It was one of the many reasons I looked forward to Christmas as a kid.

    Pear-Wood or Corn Cob for Beginner?

    Go with the MM cob, I'll never smoke another pear wood pipe as long as I live!

    Stereotypical Pipe Smell?

    For me it was the smell of Prince Albert mixed 50/50 with Middleton's Cherry Blend, my grandfather smoked it almost exclusively, and the smell entranced me as a child. I tried smoking it in his memory one day and found out that smoking it, and smelling it are two very different things. Let's...

    Having a drink with your smoke?

    Coffee in the mornings, but later on I like Coke Zero, beer or a glass of port wine.

    Whiz Or Not To Whiz ?

    It would scare away the deer, while I don't know that human pee smells like a predator to them, I don't think it smells normal to them. It may not scare away the younger deer, due to they can be quite inquisitive, but it will definitely scare away a mature buck, they can be very cautious and...
