    Love The US supreme Court Audio

    I enjoy listening to the Supreme Court audio while doing household chores and clenching/puffing. Doesn't much matter to me the case. As with most of the members here, the arguments and remarks are on such a deeper level than my puny brain. With both, I often want to interrupt and ask what it...

    Puzzled By This Castello

    I'm not interested in buying this pipe. I'll say that up front. But I'm curious. It's on ebay now (auction no. below). I have no reason to doubt authenticity. But quite puzzled at Kino's imprint appearing with the, "Reg. No...," stamp. I, apparently mistakenly, thought that he arrived on...

    First 2 Marxman Smoked - Brief Result

    I finished my 1st two Marxman bowls. One very large bowl, one large bowl. Result - like them both, lots. Thnx @telescopes & @Briar Lee for your many posts on this. Detected an unusual taste to me. Spicy. Cinnamon like-perhaps, likely. I'm poor at id'ying flavors. What fun! Smoked a VaPer...

    Poetry Perusal While Pipe Smoking

    I often consider, while pipe smoking, non-linear thoughts and serendipitous illumination. Poetry helps me with this. Disparate forms of verse that I've considered recently range from various haikus to the more Western offerings from Carl Sandburg. However, tonight I'm drawn most to the...

    SP Dunhill No Date Code?

    I saw this Dunhill Bulldog today on Smoking Pipes US, item # 004-002-34545, but I don't see a date code. Perhaps my bifocals aren't helping me that much today LOL! Do you see a date code? Any other things missing on the imprinting that one might normally see? I'm not interested in buying...

If you want to be a high school English Teacher and grade and correct my writing, have fun but know that I don't give a shit anymore--LOL! Weather Where You Live Now and Back Then?-- As a teen and...

    Adding Sprinkles of Other Flavors as a Condiment to the Blend?

    Anyone else sprinkle a bit of this or that (Perique, Latakia, Red Va's, Burley's, . . . ) into a regular blend? If so, rarely or a few times a month/week? Sort of like adding salt/pepper/ketchup to a dish LOL! Right now, I'm smoking a VaPerBur with a touch of three "extras" :-) Lat...

    Love Clint Eastwood

    I love watching Clint Eastwood movies! Anyone else? Just watched and loved "Cry Macho." Clint and Dwight Yoakam were great (Dwight's great, too--loved his music, his dancing when performing and his accent-doesn't sound like folks from Ohio to me :-). Eastwood and Yoakam in this movie somehow...

    Zulu Lovers - Does Your Tobacco Burn at an Angle?

    I'm wondering about zulus. I get it that it's a very nice looking shape. I'm wondering if you tobacco burns straight across the top of the bowl or at an angle (since the bowl is canted forward)? Just wondering since I often walk about with the pipe clenched and don't want the tobacco to fall...

    Do Tobacco Bugs Tunnel Through Mylar?

    Anyone know firsthand or some other way if tobacco bugs tunnel through mylar? Just wondering. I put cigars directly into the freezer upon arrival to kill them. Never pipe tobacco. I either jar or mylar pipe tobacco. I got to wondering if the mylar can hold 'em inside if they're in the...

    Anybody Remember the Old Guys Smoking Outside . . .?

    Anybody here remember the old guys smoking outside between Sunday School and the main service (yep, I was careful not to get into religious stuff...err maybe just a tad :) It was the generation or two before mine, but I saw it and nobody minded--these were the farmers and business guy who ran...

    Thoughts or Stories on Hazing?

    Any thoughts on hazing, or perhaps stories you know or lived? kindly, mike p.s. - My wife of many decades maintains all hazing is wrong. And my wife, for me--I've learned, is always right :-))) LOL! But I must also admit I both laugh at, and regret some hazing I've participated in or know about.

    Meerschaum Granules--Use?

    Does anyone here use Meerschaum Granulate in their pipe bowls? Achim at Pfeifenstudio sent me some, or was it Smokingpipes US (dangit, my memory fails!). I've not used them. I don't use filters with any of my pipes, although decades ago I did use the little straws that came with my new...
