    My 5 Year PipesMagazine Anniversary

    And how apropos that it coincides with Thanksgiving. Thank you all for putting up with my Jewish ass. And my other assorted body parts, of course. 🙂

    Cellar Noob PSA: Bulk vs. Tins vs. Jars

    FYI I should restate that I'm intending this as a PSA thread rather than a show-off thread. But as the old saying goes, the road to dick-measuring contests is paved with good intentions. I forget who said that, but he was probably pretty important. Maybe it was Virgil. Or perhaps W.C Fields...

    RIP Diane Keaton

    Age 79. Annie Hall and Play It Again, Sam will always be two of my favorites. RIP.

    Alex Jones Was Right

    It all makes sense now! I don't know how I didn't think of it before. I bet this goes all the way up to the president. Possibly even higher. Briar = 5 letters, Works = 5 letters. 55! That's the exact amount that the final pound of Mac Baren Plumcake sold for. Baren and Briar both start with...

    RIP Mark Volman (Flo & Eddie)

    Fun fact: I took a music business course taught by him at LA Valley College in 2003, fresh out of high school. Fascinating topic, and a very quirky, interesting guy, to say the least. RIP!

    Removing Pipe Bag Scuffs - Please Help!

    Took my new Savinelli Miele 614 apple into LA with me last week. As you can see from the photos, the leather left some scuff marks behind on the bowl. Superficial stuff, nothing very deep, but still quite annoying for a brand new pipe. It looks a little worse on the starboard side than the port...

    To All LA Residents (Los Angeles, not Louisiana)

    Not really a pipe event, but... My good friend is holding his record release show at Healing Force Of The Universe, a record store in the heart of Pasadena. I've known him for over 20 years, played in two different bands together during my time as a derelict musician, and when he asked me to...

    A Sad Feeling

    Yeah yeah, we all knew that the inventory for both Mac Baren and Sutliff were getting severely disemboweled. But I still felt a sense of sadness today as I scrolled through their respective pages on SP. Many listings have been removed. It's not that I'm surprised, it's just that when it finally...

    C&D Samples w/bulk Sutliff @ SP

    I can only infer from this that the last vestiges of Sutliff bulk are not flying off the shelves as fast as one might have expected. Anyone else find this to be curious?

    RIP Garth Hudson

    The last member of The Band leaves us at 87. RIP!

    5k Posts aka The Passage Of Time

    How the hell did I make 5,000 posts here? Where does the time go? How could I allow myself to be spending that much time on here? Why didn't STG keep Plumcake in the fold? And most of all, when will the rhetorical questions all end? Ugh, I'm such a sentimental twat... :rolleyes:

    PipesMagazine Forum IPSD Zoom Chat!

    "As a matter of principle, I never attend the first annual anything." -George Carlin After seeing innumerable attempts to do a forum-wide Zoom chat peter out, I have decided to take the reins myself. This IPSD, Thursday, February 20 starting at 1pm PST, any and all forum members (please don't...

    The Physics of Santa Claus

    No known species of reindeer can fly. But there are at least 300,000 species of living organisms yet to be classified, and while most of these are insects and germs, this does not completely rule out flying reindeer, which only Santa has ever seen. There are approximately 2 billion children...

    Pleasant Cellar Surprises

    Sunday is house cleaning day for wifey and me, and because we live in a very small house, it doesn't take too long to finish. So I had some free time, which I used to sift through my cellar, a task I had been putting off longer than I would have liked. Once I started though, it got kind of...

    An Alternative to Birth Year Pipes

    Warning: note that I did not say it was a practical alternative... With all the hype around birth year pipes, I thought of something better: death year pipes. I know, it's tough to know in advance what year you're going to kick the bucket, but assuming you're either clairvoyant or suicidal (or...
