    Why do People Back their Car In?

    Yes, but your backing into a space surrounded at worst by 3 parked, unmoving vehicles. When backing out of a space there are people and cars moving in both directions behind you, making it more likely to hit something.

    Smoking Room Ventilation

    Right, but I only have to open the window 6". Also, the fans are facing to the north, and I'm on the second floor of a two-story house. So, when the wind blows from the north it's directly into the fans, as it was yesterday at about 20-30mph when the front blew through. Meanwhile I just cranked...

    Smoking Room Ventilation

    Nope. If I can't sit down and relax in a climate-controlled room to smoke my pipe, then I don't smoke it. No way I'd relegate that time to the outdoors. There is only about one month during the spring and a month during the fall where the weather is nice here, otherwise it's hot and humid or...

    After 5 days it has already got her seal of approval. She's very happy.

    Smoking Room Ventilation

    In case anyone is interested. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081WV1FHK?ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details&th=1 I removed the grills because it's just more airflow interference and a cause for turbulence noise. I'm telling ya straight... with these set on the lowest speed I can just barely hear them...

    Smoking Room Ventilation

    So, my oldest daughter, whom I live with, was complaining about the pipe tobacco smell that sometimes escaped my room. She's not looking for a better smelling tobacco... she want's no tobacco smell at all. I basically live in my room, and the kitchen. I always keep my door shut and try to...

    New Commission

    Outstanding! I just love old shit, and it doesn't get much older in the pipe world than Morta! I look forward to hearing how it smokes.

    One Tobacco To Rule Them All

    No way I'm going there. It's like asking me which one of my children I'd keep if I could only have one. This thread gave me instant anxiety just contemplating it.

    South for the Mouth

    SOS in the food world mean Shit On a Shingle. Usually some type of meat in some type of gravy on some type of toast or bread. It's a great way to use leftovers and with a little salt, pepper and hot sauce it can be quite satisfying.

    Oxidation Issue

    There is a plethora of threads on here on the cleaning of oxidized pipe stems. After you get it back to original condition... keep it out of direct sunlight, and do not clean or soak it in water. Get a tube of Chapstick brand Ultra spf rated at 30. Rub some on, rub it in, and wipe it off after...

    Negoita Overload & A Few Others

    Marvelous pipes my friend! I'm a huge fan of Rolando Negoita pipes. I've owned several, but unfortunately only own one now. But I smoke it every morning with my coffee and a bowl of Chelsea Morning. As a side note that pipe was bought as an estate pipe. After several years the lip caved in due...

    Too Hot & Goes Out

    What type of blended tobacco are you referring to? If it's an Aro, it might not be as sufficiently dried out as you may think. It might also be the topping or casing used in the blend that gives rise to the need for more careful drying, packing and smoking techniques. Generally speaking, a hot...

    I Get By With a Little Help From My Friends

    Love it! Those would be a joy to refurbish and bring back to life.

    South for the Mouth

    I understand exactly what you meant. While we have our fair share of Michelin Star restaurants here in the states, this thread was about Southern Cuisine, and your right, it is based around comfort food. Having said that, I'm excited to see the variety of restaurants and dishes being served...

    South for the Mouth

    Therein lies the rub. you should have asked for wine, like a Frappato.

    South for the Mouth

    Either, but I prefer a Bavarian style... vinegar based with bacon and sliced green olives served warm.
