A Som Besths Miracle: Thank You HawkeyeLinus
I could just have sent @HawkeyeLinus a PM but I thought this public display of gratitude might embarass him slightly more. I have always been struck by the generosity that is shown on this forum.

A Pipe Smoker From 65 Years Ago - Impressions?
So imagine it's 1960, and you are a pipe-smoking individual, no specific city, no specific area. You are somehow magically transported to 2025 and shown these very forums. Specifically, what would you make of the current state of the pipe hobby / industry? Personally, I think the most glaring...- mikethompson

Question for the Guitar Players
I'm looking to get back into playing the guitar. Call it a New Years resolution if you want. One of my main reasons for putting it down was that it was just uncomfortable to hold. To that end I had bought a guitar strap. But where it mounts on the body of the guitar, there was just a plastic...- mikethompson

Kudos to the Zippo Warranty Program
About 2 or 3 months ago, on a whim, I decided to send my Zippo back to have some parts repaired. I had read that Zippo warranties the lighter lifetime so I thought I'd give it a shot. I just received it back today via UPS. I'm really staggered actually. I don't know whether the whole inside was...- mikethompson

Birth Year Anything Else?
There's always talk about birth year pipes, and having something from the year you were born. For those that find having a birth year pipe appealing, does that translate to anything else for you? Does a birth year watch or stereo have the same draw? I have a Brigham that I think was made...- mikethompson

Kind of a shot in the dark, but I'm setting up a new email and synching it with my tablet.

Didn't Worry About Packing and Guess What?
I had a nice cool smoke. I've heard lots of different advice on packing your bowl - probably the same advice we have all heard - pack loose, tamp down, pack again, the Three Handshake style, all of that. Well today I threw all of that out the window, and just scooped up some Half and Half with...- mikethompson

Americans: Do You Not Have 'Normal' Coins Anymore?
Quarters - changed out word to distinguish it from living quarters. We've been enjoying Orlando for the past week, and are having a great time at the usual parks. The kids were given some spending money before we left, and have been paying cash for their purchases. In all their change, I don't...- mikethompson

Mso489 Came Back, But then?
Beloved @mso489 left the forum for a while due to computer issues, then made a triumphant return to much fanfare (I think he bought a new tablet or something). He mentioned he wouldn't be posting as often, but I don't see him posting at all. Anybody know what's happening with him?- mikethompson

Do English Blends Like Nightcap Ever Crest the Hill?
Re-arranging some of my pipe stuff to make room for some new arrivals, and I stumbled across 3 tins of Dunhill Nightcap. I remember reading on her that they tend to lose their punch and flavor after a few years. These tins look to have roughly 10 years of age on them. Are they in the sweet...- mikethompson
