    In Praise of Obsidian Oil

    Jojoba Oil Far superior to Obsidian Oil for stems, as well as briar, meerschaum, & gourd calabash stummels. It is an unsaturated liquid wax oil, similar to spermaceti wax (sperm whale oil). Much less expensive & more versatile as a base oil for skin & hair emollients, essential oils, &...

    Dad Advice

    Yes, a “Gas Passer”, as are my wife, an MD, & son, a CRNA. Lovely pipe. Personally, I’d keep the pipe in tribute to dad. Welcome from Evergreen, CO.

    Fragile Power Grid

    Fragility of human foibles… A few years ago we expected 2+ feet for heavy wet Spring snow transitioning to Colorado’s “champagne powder” as storm intensified, but our winding paved mountain road had yet to be plowed. Along comes the country snowplow driven by a stoned, heavy metal head...

    Putting Shine to Briar

    Jojoba Oil : A highly purified, highly unsaturated liquid WAX ester. High flash point Anti-oxidant; no rancidity (unlike other plant oils) Chemically similar to spermaceti (which it eventually replaced). NO significant toxicity. The perfect pipe exterior treatment for briar stummels...

    Forever Unfaithful

    Isn’t this just variant rehash of many rehashes of Desert Island Tobacco from less than 1 month ago? BTW - my choice was SG St. James Plug (alternatively SG Cob [1792] Plug) ps - I missed out on the recent drop. This old pensioner would appreciate acquiring either or both from a kindly member(s).

    Dishonorable Mentions

    C&D Black Frigate tastes like burning oakum (tarred hemp rope) or tarred marline. No improvement after 1 year in a mason jar.

    Maker’s Mark Mystery

    Looks like… Tendrils of smoke, over a pipe, next to an ”A” Perhaps… Yuri Aksenov “A” (combined with a pipe symbol) (This does not have the smoke tendrils)
