    All Pipe Smokers are Weird...Except You and Me.

    I have nothing against finger tamping. What is it they say The universe moves in mysterious ways? I have no feeling in the fingers of one hand. Easy finger tamping was bestowed upon me like a gift from the pipe Gods or maybe it's a curse from the clothing Gods and that's why all my pants have a...

    All Pipe Smokers are Weird...Except You and Me.

    You all must live in better parts of the world than myself. Around here trespassers have enough Speed, Opiates and Monsters in them not only would the taste be effected but you just might OD trying to consume them🤷‍♂️

    All Pipe Smokers are Weird...Except You and Me.

    I consider that goals. Though I can't imagine how I would avoid the Orange jump suit house with the never ending. You don't need another pipe, don't you have enough pipes, how many pipes do you really need input from every friend, family member and casual acquaintance I know. I swear it's worse...

    Bent or Straight Stem?

    Never noticed any difference in draw but they sure do effect weight. A straight has to be under 1.50oz and 5 5inch long or I won't waste my time and will probably hate smoking it. While a bent I look for 6-6.5 inches in length and preferably under 2oz but have and love many up around 3oz.

    Um, Interesting Pipe, #2

    Looks like a Chic modern interpretation of a certain adult toy that shall remain nameless but the style of which is used in the same general manor but with less intensity and force as a lawn mower pull cord 🤷‍♂️

    All Pipe Smokers are Weird...Except You and Me.

    1st please don't be insulting. I'm as weird as they come and darn proud of it😉 Now that said. Other than a few tweekers and poor white trash type taking one hitter puffs of super discount cig baccy from weed pipes. I never knew a pipe smoker tell a year after I started smoking myself and to date...

    Pipe repair recommendations?

    Who all does everybody recommend to get a pipe stem replaced? With one as close to factory as possible. And on average what does something like that cost? The one Is a "Twin barrel" if that changes anything. In the few years I've been smoking now I've busted exactly two pipes. My favorite two...

    Movies that Make You Cry

    Growing up that was one of my favorite books must've read it a dozen times and cried every time. The movie not so much.

    No, it's Not Just You: Music has Gotten Worse

    Will never understand this mentality. Good music exists in almost every genre 🤷‍♂️ From 20s big band to Country and Western to modern pop. I can find something I enjoy listening to in almost every genre and decade. Regularly do. The only exception being EDM which I've yet to find a single track...

    Volkan Paronelli and Paronelli Pipes

    I will add. I'm not the most experienced pipe owner around but with 90+ pipes in my current collection from most major makers both new and estates. I have a few examples to compare them to and feel confident making the comparison?‍♂️

    Volkan Paronelli and Paronelli Pipes

My most expensive cost me 60$ my cheapest 30$ All have nice stem fit and beautiful finishes with my...

    How Many Tobaccos in Active Rotation?

    What's considered open? I keep 3 blends in display jars that I smoke all day and next to that 1 jar I smoke once a night but also currently have 146 jars at last count each containing between 1-4oz in a cupboard above my smoking station. Which I randomly pull from a few times a week to smoke a...

    Bulk Versus Tins Versus Pouches

    Tins. They take up so much less room in the cupboard vs Jars and my pouches always seem to arrive crispy. When I want to take tobacco with me I put it in one of my many travel pouches which all seal better then the factory pouches not to mention look better.

    Gandalf, the Churchwarden Clencher

    Sure do just need a lightweight Warden with at least a modest bend. My best full Churchwarden for clinching is my Savinelli Tandem 920 but I prefer the Smaller Demi Wardens something 7.5-9inchs long and under an ounce. Gives the Warden feel while smoking but allows clinching and activities with...

    Cigar Shops and Pipe Smokers

    Rem's Tobacco Shop in Grand Junction Colorado. It's mainly a small cigar shop with a very small selection of VERY over priced Pipe Tobacco and pipes. BUT it tends to be pretty friendly to pipes. I've yet to take them up on it asI 'm typically in to big a hurry to stop and spark up when I'm in...
