    Ring for Broken Shank on a Cheapo Pipe

    I think superglue would hold since it isn't at a part that would be heated and cooled over and over like the bowl. You could always super glue and then fashion a stainless steel ring.

    Bought a Nice Cigar for New Year's Eve... Doesn't Compare to Pipes Anymore

    I think it depends on the cigar and the pipe tobacco. It takes finding the right cigar for your pallette. But once you do it can sometimes be a hard call on going with the pipe or cigar. To me they are different enjoyments with different purposes. I tend to gravitate towards pipes in the winter...

    What's The Tobacco That You Always Wish You Had More Of?

    Probably Stonehaven. It seems like the best part is the second half once it really gets going.

    Do you Cellar or just Smoke?

    I tend to gravitate towards aged blends so cellaring makes sense. I also try to buy slightly more than I smoke each year so that I have a rotation where everything is 2 years or older. That being said, I try not to go too crazy. I try to keep it at least to what I can feasibly smoke in my...

    Why the pipe?

    I started smoking a pipe as a cheap alternative to cigars. I was hurting in the financial department and couldn't afford to spend the $5+ a stick on cigars so I decided to give pipes a try. Now I really only smoke my pipes in the colder months/weather and cigars in the warmer months/weather as...

    What pipe style did you used to hate and now like?

    Definitely straight pipes. I used to hate them and now I find that my collection is leaning towards a higher number straight pipes.

    Favorite Burley?

    Prince Albert and Prince Albert Choice. PA was the first pipe tobacco I remember smoking and enjoying. Before that I had just tried a cherry house blend, yuck!

    Experiment: Match vs Zippo vs Bic vs Old Boy Vs Torch.

    Pretty nifty little experiment. Thanks for posting. I tend to stick with kitchen matches and this only confirms that I am making the right decision in my mind haha.

    Cheap yet effective pipe racks?

    I've seen a few guys use the spool holder/rack for sewing but that makes the pipe hang upside down by the bowl which I believe makes the moisture drip from the stem. I would not do it but some guys swear by it. When I was trying to be frugal I made my own out of cardboard and packaging tape...

    Calling Dallas / Ft.Worth smokers

    Not to jump in the middle of your conversation but I will be in Dallas sometime in the following months visiting my family. I would definitely be interested in meeting up some time if possible to meet you fellas in real life. Now that it is summer time I have been smoking cigars but I break...

    Diablo 3!!!! :D :D :D

    I received a guest pass code from a friend and I am really enjoying the game. I don't know if I will buy it but it sure has been fun.

    Getting in shape

    Sounds great brother. I am about to try to get back into shape. I kind of let myself go due to summer school as silly as that sounds but hopefully I can get back into shape just as quickly as I fell out of it haha.

    Pipe Sweepstakes- In memory of Sonny

    Another Savinelli fan here. Thank you for the contest and sorry for your loss. A pet can be a great best friend but that only makes it harder to say goodbye.

    Squadron Leader

    I really like Squadron Leader. In fact, I prefer it over Penzance. I am not much of an English smoker but when I do smoke an english it is usually SL.

    BEWARE Buying Meerschaum from Turkey on Ebay ....

    How do you see the user names of who is bidding on the item? It is normally disguised by the stars etc. I'm not questioning you at all I just am curious as to how to view who bids on what.
