    New Dentures, Can't Clench Anymore!

    :mad::cry::LOL: Guess I'll just have to get used to hand holding!

    Pimples in Mouth

    Lately, I have been getting pimples on the inside of my cheeks. They don't cause any discomfort, and usually disappear in a couple of days, to be replaced by new ones in slightly different locations. Could these be caused by smoking? I have smoked for many years, and didn't notice them before.

    I Need a New Bowl

    I bought it back in the 60's. I don't know the maker, but the bowl came apart in pieces. Do you know where I can get a replacement bowl? The hole in the gourd is 30.3 mm. What is the pipe worth, and what would a bowl cost?

    Stanwell Black White Material?

    Any idea what the material is? Is it a very well painted briar, or something else?

    Just How Dangerous is Mold?

    I keep seeing posts about evil mold, but how bad is it really? We breathe in literally millions of types of spores with every breath, some are very useful, even medicinal. So is it overreacting to toss a tin with a few white spots? Is there any data about anyone actually being damaged by smoking...

    A Good Score

    I bought 4 Stanwell Brushed Browns during the blowout some time ago, and love them. The other day I saw some with white stems on sale for $40, minus $15%, so about $34. Plus it took me over the top for free shipping, so less than 30 bucks. I expect to be very happy!

    That's it! I Quit!

    I am not a slave to the wicked weed! My willpower is stronger than the siren call! I am tired of being known as the old dude who constantly has a pipe sticking out of his maw. This morning I went cold turkey. Success! It has been over five hours now, and am not feeling the least bit of...

    What's the Deal With Nic Ratings?

    I'm perplexed. The two open jars on my desk right now are Troutstream and Bullseye. I can smoke multiple bowls of Bulleyseye and never get a nic hit, but just a few puffs of Troutstream makes me dizzy. But Tobaccoreviews says that Bullseye is stronger. What gives?

    Just Popped a Jar of Bullseye

    I just opened a jar of Bullseye that I sealed in about July 2016. The first thing that hit me was the very pungent and rich aroma that wafted up out of the jar. Delicious! I wanted to eat some. Next was the dark rich brown color. I really enjoy Bullseye fresh, but the aged version is so much...

    I Just Cleaned 24 Pipes in 20 Minutes!

    This used to be a chore with pipe cleaners and alcohol. Holding them under a stream of hot water and drying with paper towels did an excellent job.

    I'm Doing It All Wrong!

    Reading this forum for the past year or so has convinced me that I have been doing it all wrong since I got my first pipe in 1960. I have never used a match to light a pipe. I never put my tobacco to dry before stuffing it in the bowl. I never break up my flakes, just push them in. I never...

    Need Help Quick!

    I saw a promo from P&C for Lane bulks for $1.25 per oz, but lost the link! I would like to get an order in today if some kind soul can send it to me.

    I Lost My Sav 320!

    So sad! It was the latest pipe I bought, probably had fewer than 20 smokes through it. We were just beginning to get acquainted.

    A Pleasant Surprise

    I thought I didn't need any more pipes, but a few months ago when I saw the Stanwells for $20, I couldn't resist, and ordered four as spares and knock-around pipes. I was amazed to find them so light weight, and so smokeable, that I now find myself reaching for one most of the time!

    A Newbie Photo Question

    OK, I read the sticky, but it doesn't say if I need to resize before loading in Imgur or after. Also, I can't locate the photo test forum or thread.

    I Love Tobacco, but Hate Nicotine!

    I love having a pipe in my mouth, could do it all day long, and I love the tastes of various tobaccos. But I find that trying to work while smoking is almost impossible, it gets me a little dizzy, and sometimes a little shaky, even with low nic blends, and especially on an empty stomach. Edited...

    Member Location?

    I find it interesting when a member mentions where he is living, it gives me a little perspective. Folks seem to have different problems in different countries, or even different parts of the US. Another forum I belong to shows location along with name, number of posts, etc. Would this be...

    What Can I Do With This Stuff?

    I was gifted several one pound bags of THE GOOD STUFF pipe tobacco, which I learned is really for RYO cigarettes. While I was initially thankful to have been the giftee, I find it to be almost unsmokable. So my initial thought was to mix it with an aromatic, like BCA. This would certainly...
