    Luxury Bullseye Flake... Wow!

    So I have been trying to build up my supply of tobacco. I am also trying out new blends when I can. My last haul included 8oz. of Peter Stokkebye Luxury Bullseye Flake. I have a penchant for VA blends and this comes highly recommended. I intended on just throwing it in a ball jar and leaving...

    I Went To Buy A Car Yesterday. You Guessed It......

    I just went through a similar mess. Needless to say we did the same as you and walked out. We gave the salesman our terms and he continually threw us the hard sale. Eventually, the "manager" arrived to tell us that we were getting a grrreat deal and this vehicle would sell in a matter of days...

    Bitter Sweet Day. The Old Cajun

    My condolences to you. There is nothing like the love and friendship a dog can give. I mark my time on this earth by all the great friendships I have had with my dogs. They pass through our lives and make them all the better. I feel honored to have had their companionship. Jim

    Disaster!

    Thanks all... A few hours of sleep later... cooler minds... and now that it is too late... cooler stems prevail. I am about to drop Walker a line... They seem to have a lot of positive reviews here. @Chubster thank you that is a good thought. I am not a huge fan of Acrylic stems, but this is...

    Disaster!

    Oh dread! While absorbed in reading the Perfect Pipe. I was smoking my brand new Chacom and decided to smoke a second bowl. Ill advised. I twisted the stem off of my too warm pipe and snapped off the tenon! I cannot tell you what I am going through just now... Black thoughts... Horror, anger...

    Sasieni Repair Update:

    A while back I posted that I has bought a rusticated bent Sasieni from a local B&M. I got it for a great price, but in my inexperience I never really went over the way it was drilled. I smoked it a few times and realized that the bowl was drilled too deep. I was getting a lot of gurgle and a...

    Newest Pipe. First Uncoated Bowl

    Thanks for the responses. I really hadn't planned on coating the bowl. I have broken in a couple of pipes and both were coated. I did nothing more than fill them and smoke them slowly. I am just going to follow this formula again. Thanks Jim
