Just had a damn attractive woman...
Compliment the room note of my 1Q. Maybe is was secret woman code for "you are one sexy beast". Or maybe it reminded her of grandpa.- portascat

Mitchell Thomas pipe bought...
Picked one up in a Ft. Worth head shop. Mind you, this headshop used to be a pipe shop . Now just a few remnant pipes, some cigars, and the like. Everything else was stoner oriented. Nice looking pipe for the price range and has a great draw, tight fit, and smokes well.- portascat

Ordered a Special 11 Grabow
Dropped an envelope in the mail for a Grabow Special 11 "straight and smooth". I did find out that they are strictly mail order pipes, not available online or in stores. Apparently you get on the mailing list when you call in for the free cleaners off the coupon in the box with a new store...- portascat

Need smoke suggestions
Okay, been trying a lot of blends talked about here. All that Hobbit stuff, some stuff from Outwest, some stuff a guy gave me at the Voodoo book store. Too much of it is too damn hard to smoke and it goops up my pipe. I like the Lane 1Q pretty well, and it seems to not fill my pipe with gear...- portascat

screw type stingers - O-rings?
Just noticed that the stinger on this Kaywoodie has an area that looks as if a rubber type o-ring would fit in, and work as a seal. Is this a possibility? I may go to the auto parts and see if I can find an o-ring that size for grins....- portascat

Kaywoodie Carbuerator Restored
Bought a Kaywoodie Carb Pipe, appearing to my untrained eye as being of the "Super Grade" line off of Ebay a while back for ~$10 range. The seller stated the pipe bit was out of time, but otherwise in good condition. When I got it, it was off time by about an hour or so, in relation to the... -

Beginner Help
New to pipes, want to get a decent head start at it. Used to smoke cigarettes way back when (20+ years ago), since then have been a somewhat inconsistent cigar smoker. Thought I might take up pipe smoking for a change of pace, and as a (hopeful) reflection of my gradual mellowing of personality...- portascat
