Hello from the Cayman Islands
Welcome from Sweden! I had trouble with aromatics when I first started smoking pipes. For me things fell into place much easier with unflavoured English and straight Virginia blends. Thanks for the reminder on Ken Follett I still remember enjoying his The Pillars of the Earth which I read...- Gecko

Pipe Smoking in the Deer Stand...
I think I recall our dear friend and seasoned hunter @alaskanpiper mentioning in another thread that he doesn't smoke when hunting moose as to not scare off the animals with the smell.- Gecko

Pipe Smoking in the Deer Stand...
I remember my grandfather's hunting team back in the 80s, those guys smoked like chimneys while hunting moose and deer. They claimed the tobacco scent unlike human scent did not scare the animals.- Gecko

Russian Military Explores U.S. Limit in the Arctic
Russia's GDP is very small, about on par with South Korea or somewhat less than Italy's. There is no way they can afford any large scale wars or invasions. They do however love to play bully and see if there are any advantages to gain that way. Rumors are that Putin is suffering from somekind of...- Gecko

Army Mount
I would recommend getting one of the cheaper Peterson "Irish Army" or "System Standard" pipes in a shape you like. With them you get a real army mount and high quality beater take everywhere pipe. I'm real happy with the ones I've got.- Gecko

Oom Paul Roll Call
I have a Rossi 8614 Oom Paul that I dedicated to Aromatics and smoke regularly. Looking to get another Oom Paul maybe a Moonshine or Briar Works. I like deeply bent pipes for clenching while driving or riding bikes.- Gecko

It's A Great Day!
Welcome from Sweden! The two most helpful pieces of advice I got when starting out with pipe smoking was 1) Sip the pipe like a fine wine, do not take drags like you would from a cigarette. 2) Do not stress over difficulties in the begining. It takes a sacrifice of about 40 bowls to the pipe...- Gecko

Stubby, Chubby Billiards... What’s All the Fuss??
Short stubby pipes look cool, sort of like small muscly dog like a Frenchie or Staffy. In my experience they may smoke a bit hotter so be careful with cadence. My main gripe with the short Peterson Outdoor I have is that there isn't enough tenon to take up the incline on the bit so it's too... -

How Do You Stay Fit?
I find using a posture corrector when having desk days is beneficial. It remindes me not to slouch when sitting in front of a monitor all day and at the end of the day my back is not as tired as it otherwise would have been.- Gecko

Ever Have One Of Those , "Oh F@#%, I'm Dead Moments?"
Hurting oneself sucks and as you get older you are reminded of the times you messed up by aches when the weather changes. Hope you heal well shikano53! I once had an old wooden V ladder collapse under me when I was changing a light bulb above a loading dock. Ended up on top of a pile of broken...- Gecko
