    Dental Nightmare, Pipe Smoking

    Thanks Allan, I can only say I have a sister fighting cancer and my struggle is very very minor. I have always believed like you, that everything can be worse. What I am going through is very minor.

    Dental Nightmare, Pipe Smoking

    LoL... Tanks for the offer... Jim... I am sure there isn't much in my collection worth selling. I am fortunate to have dental insurance that will pay a bit of my costs... And like my teeth I have few usable pipes to return to after this is all done! :lol: I am thinking of buying a few pipe...

    Dental Nightmare, Pipe Smoking

    Thanks all. The implant is a necessity asI already lost a molar back there. It is getting rather roomy in the back of my mouth. The bone graft is pretty much the standard for this type of situation. I have been to another dentist and pretty much the same route was discussed, down to the sinal...

    Dental Nightmare, Pipe Smoking

    I am having a pretty bad time with my teeth. I have a molar that needs to come out. This is after a failed root canal to save it. I have been on antibiotics, on and off, for the past month. The fix is a dental implant. The fix is problematic at best. Due to the location of the tooth and past...

    Bad Peterson Pipes - From Where?

    I have mentioned in the past that I have what I think is a not-too-great a smoking Pete. I have a feeling you are trying to make a point with this post but I will give a run down as to my issue. I have two Peterson's both bought from Smoking Pipes. The first, and the problem child, is a...

    I Received a Little Note

    Buy a can of something like this http://www.prankplace.com/Liquid-Ass-Spray-6909-0X.aspx spray it all over and ask them if they prefer the "air freshener" instead.

    Brand New Peterson Aran Poor Drilling?

    I received 999 Fermoy that is drilled exactly the same as yours. I have a few smokes in and although it smokes well it doesn't pass a pipe cleaner without some playing around. I also received a Darwin system pipe that doesn't smoke very well. I wonder about the quality of the drilling on that...

    Gone . . .But Not Forgotten

    Great post. I am a new pipe smoker and would love to know what it must have been like to be able to walk into a shop and actually find someone who knew something about pipe smoking. There are a very few places around me that sell pipes and tobacco. I am not very knowledgable but it seems I...

    LOL @ Z Petes03... I have other brothers that are like that in some ways. Hopefully the one marries straightens him out. Don't give up. He has some redeeming qualities. He is blood afterall

    Brotherly Love, Briar Grows Us Closer

    I have posted here recently on how my brother, eighteen years my senior is my pipe smoking mentor. When he found out that I took up the briar he reached out to me to encourge me. We had some great conversations about the love of smoking and I learned so much. We have been getting together more...

    Packing Fresh Tobacco Without Emptying Pipe

    Nobody taught me to do it, and I guess nobody told me not to. Just seems to work for me.
