    Need Seeds

    Once upon a time...ahem...there was a moderator here who got me hooked on hot peppers. I have never quite forgiven him for that. Now it seems I have exhausted my meager supply of seeds. Yes, I know there are a trillion on line suppliers, but I need a supplier with a proven track record and who's...

    Arizona?

    Just curious. Do we have any members here from the frozen tundra known as Arizona? Sun City here.

    A Didimauw Tamper

    I was gifted a pipe tamper by our very own didimauw. One which he created. It has gotten much use. Okay, it’s been ridden hard and put up wet so to speak. About five to ten bowls a day. I do clean it off once a month whether it needs it or not. Now it will be retired to a place of honor.

    Frontenac?

    I am guessing a Frontenac second. It looks like someone put the red whit and blue bands on backwards. The blue should be the closest to the bowl. Thoughts?

    Survivor, The Game

    Survivor, the rant. I am stuck at home, as are many, and because I set the remote down briefly I am stuck watching Survivor. I hate it. All I ask for is ONE. One lousy shark. Fall off and get wet and “out of the competition?” BORING! Fall off and get ripped to shreds by a shark? Now it becomes...

    A Real Pipe Smoker?

    How much does one need to smoke to be a pipe smoker? As opposed to hobbyist or collector.

    So...Anyone Out of Toilet Paper Yet?

    So...Anyone Out of Toilet Paper Yet? Only thing I am out of, and driving me up a wall, is Top Ramen.

    How Bad Did I Take It?

    Okay. I picked up two pipes to restore. Did I get totally taken, meh about right or Wow what a deal? $28.00 for two pipes. Two used pre owned vintage briar estate pipes. As found, need cleaning and/or restoration. Chadwick Wally Frank France Kaywoodie Standard with 4 hole stinger.

    New Material

    Well it is somewhere between 4,000 and 10,000 years old. (Not the pipe) It will soon be pipe tampers and a knife handle for didimauw.

    Corona Virus

    Okay, I wasn't much worried about it until every news station and public official told me not to panic. I picked up N95 masks before the price gouging began. I am stocked up on coffee, food and tobacco. Still got a couple hundred rounds of ammo. Pretty much the norm for me. (I came from Montana...

    Just Venting

    I am just venting and for that I apologize. Seems some A Hole dumped a witches brew of antifreeze, tranny fluid and who knows what. Now the cats are dropping like flies and dying horrible deaths. Animal Control knows, but it seems no one really gives a damn, I mean - after all - they are just...

    Pipe Tamper Preference Poll

    Okay, if you are like me you use your thumb more often than not. However if you were going to buy one what would be your choice?

    The Flattened Frog Project

    The Flattened Frog Project. A low key, six month adventure. The idea is to take some good, sweet Virginas and some decent quality Latakia and combine them. Now I have an oak spiral that has been soaking in a good single malt for a month. (Actually twice as long as recommended to get all the...

    Gawith Hoggarth and Co. Twists

    Every where I look the Gawith Hoggarth and Co. Twists are "out of Stock." Anyone ran across a place that not only has it in stock, but a selection?

    Tripoli Usage

    Okay. I understand the use of white and blue, but not the "rougher" colors like black and brown. Do you use it at all and if so...for what?

    Black Frigate Horn (Pic Heavy)

    I decided I had one last serious pipe left in me. One dedicated to a certain tobacco. Not a hard build, but complicated by only having one working hand and arm. Here is the start and will be updated as it progresses. Right or wrong. Good or bad.

    Let's See Those 320 Shapes

    You either love 'em or hate them. Not too many people sitting on the fence. They come with the iconic "chubby" bit and other interpretations. Let's see what you have.

    Cask Aging Tobacco

    Yeah, well it’s a hair brained idea, but here goes. Say you have a couple 1 liter oak “casks” that one has used to age cheap rum in an attempt to get good tasting swill. These casks are dry, but infused with the esters and flavors of assorted and sordid rum. What might happen if you shoe horned...
