    Spores

    I keep the bulk of my leaf inside in my temperature & humidity controlled home; but a lot of my soon to try leaf, is in my "not controlled" garage. I looked up at my shelf this weekend and saw this in front of my eyes; and took it outside for the pic. Here's a view from the side: I wiped...

    Ebay Selling Help

    From time to time I'll sell a pipe on Ebay but I'm encountering a new problem. I pay the shipping on my sales, and have always just taken the package to my local USPS and paid for delivery that way. It appears that Ebay has REMOVED all options for me to do that, and seems to be forcing me to...

    Is It Me? Tobacco Reviews Site

    The last couple of days I've tried to get a review page pulled up, but no go. Site opens, search works, blends are listed; but every time I choose one or click on it I'm off to "404" page..... Not trying to create a bitchy thread, just wondering if it's the site or something wonky on my...

    Tobacco Reviews Site

    I searched here first to find any info but nothing seem to come up for me... I tried looking at TR site on my mobile this wknd and it didn't work, thought it might be my device. I got a moment and tried it today on my laptop - no action when I hit the search function. Not the end of the world...

    Question Re Peterson Deluxe System

    I have many Peterson system standard pipes that I enjoy, but have purchased a couple of deluxe with the added condenser that I've put on my shelf. I just grabbed one and decided to see if I could run a pipe cleaner through the stem from the bit down. As I suspected, it will not pass. I also...

    40% Off

    I don't recall ever seeing so many 40% off sales. Am I reaching the age of forgetfulness, or perhaps this has something to do with the corporate consolidations? Seriously, if I had "remembered" there would be this many sales I might have altered my purchasing timeline... Thoughts?

    Anyone an Etsy seller?

    I'm having difficulty, no, make that "it's impossible" to list new items on my Etsy site. If anyone else has experienced this and found the solution, help is appreciated. Etsy "Help" is totally worthless... I may have to learn about Ebay selling Thanks in advance

    Picture = 1,000 Words

    Ok, a few words for introduction. Just a little side shelf in my garage where I keep my active and "to open" blends, pipes, and paraphernalia. (I didn't know that word had an "r" in it until I had to figure out how to correct the spelling - guess I've pronounced it incorrectly for decades too.)...

    Regular or Bristle?

    I've been using regular BJ Long tapered cleaners for a while and they work fine so far. But I looked at my stash and found that over my orders, I also have gotten some that are "bristled". My question is whether or not there is any potential to damage the internals of a stem with those that...

    Tennessee Trip

    My wife and I will soon be on a road trip exploring Tennessee and I'm looking for recommendations. The one location I'm certain I'd like to visit is Columbia, TN. An obvious attraction there for me is BriarWorks, but additionally things like breweries, distilleries, and even places such as...

    Giveaway -F.A.T. Donation (05/06/24)

    F.A.T. = Free Aromatic Tobacco Some do, some don't. Some will, some won't. I've tried and tried but repeatedly come up short. They smell delicious in the tin. Some of them even hold a flame. :ROFLMAO: They provide a nuanced and delicious flavor - until they don't do it for me. I truly...

    Vulcanite Composition

    I'm having issues with my older / estate purchased vulcanite stems. Many of them are in need of refurbishing because they have that "appearance"; but worse, I think I've determined that at this stage of degradation they irritate my lip tissue. (I don't have the same issues with acrylic.)...

    No Parole

    I just noticed I recently transitioned to the "Lifer" profile. No parole for me! Hopefully I'll be able to enjoy a bowl this evening after work as a celebration, but the 100F temps are really working against me on that front. Do they give out walkers and wheelchairs in this joint? And I want a...

    Polish

    Not one of the jokes. Not the adjective. The verb. Each of my briars gets a polish with a horsehair brush after each smokes internal cleansing... Picked this up at an "antique" store thinking it would work nicely, I haven't seen any downside.

    Bird feathers?

    Pondering how they cleaned their pipe stems in the days of old. Was it with bird feathers? I know I could “google” it but I prefer the human input even though I’m not going to be glued to the internet to get your answers. Hope you all have a good Memorial Day wknd. Can’t think of anything...

    Peterson 9mm

    I have several Petersons, mostly standard systems but some Sherlock Holmes pieces that I like quite well enough. None seem to be 9mm. However, I've come across a Peterson I'm interested in (estate) but it has a 9mm and I'm uncertain if that will make it significantly different to me. (I know...

    G & H Balkan

    So I just opened my first tin of G & H Balkan and found it to be so dry it was crispy and crunchy to the feel and made the associated sounds. Burns well enough and was reasonable (only) in flavor but I'm probably missing something (a lot) of the flavor with it being so dry. I only purchased it...

    I'll say it again

    I find that for me, no matter the pipe, it tastes better, performs better, and is more pleasurable when it has sat for an extended period of time. Average pipes, good pipes, excellent pipes, even "bad" pipes all seem better to me with that extended rest. Why point out what some may feel is the...

    Medico Whitewall

    Just rec'd one in a bundle of pipes I purchased. I simply wish to confirm that this is meerschaum-lined? Or maybe I should describe it as briar-wrapped... ;) Tried a web search but got very little from it. Thanks in advance.
