    Loose Tenon/Mortise Interface

    I have some pipes where the tenon/mortise connection is loose. I even had bowls completely fall off the mouthpiece onto my keyboard as I was smoking them. (What a mess!) Is there anyway to tighten things up? I have used bees' wax which helps to a point, but it gets soft as the pipe heats up...

    Oom Pauls

    What is it that makes an Oom Paul an Oom Paul? I thought it was just having a flat bottom but apparently it is more than that. I always thought of the attached picture being a Oom Paul, but I guess it isn't? What would you call the attached pic?

    Thompson Cigar Company

    I've been looking at pipes on the Thompson Cigar Company's page. They have quite a selection and are reasonably priced (i.e. cheap). Most of the one's *I* like, however are out of stock. Any of you buy from them? How did you find the quality/performance?

    Pipe Sweetener

    Now THIS bottle of pipe sweetener should last a LONG time!

    New Tobacco

    I'm just back from the States where I scored some tobacco. My cousin Nancy was intrigued by this pipe smoking pastime and surprised me with 6 oz. of tobacco. She bought four 1.5 oz. containers of aromatic blends, not knowing that I love aromatics. I got Maple Street and Taste of Summer by...

    New Kid On The Block

    Check out my new estate pipe! It is a Lorenzo Anello D'Oro with a sterling band. Smokes real nice!

    Post-Lighting re-pack.

    Got out a gorgeous pipe and some really good tobacco (Sutliff's Creme Brulee) and packed the bowl way too tight. I spent the first ten minutes trying to suck air through that thing. Finally I had enough. "F**k it," I said, "I am NOT smoking the whole bowl like this!" I tamped out any...

    My Latest Tobacco Order

    Just got a notice saying my latest tobacco order from 4noggins has been delivered to my mailbox. (Customs let this one slide by!) Have to go out into the cold and snow to retrieve it. I've never tried any of these so I only bought 8 oz "test" amounts. Here's what I got: Mac Baren: BLACK...

    Oh! What Is That Aroma?

    I tend to smoke a lot of dessert aromatics and my clothes pick up the smell. I always love it when some people ask me, "Oooo! What IS that aroma?" Do you find this is true for you?

    Customs - Ouch!

    Just got a delivery of tobacco from Cup O' Joes - 8 oz of Queen Anne's Revenge and 8 oz of Mac Baren 7 Seas Black. The cost was $69. This box was stopped at Canadian Customs to the tune of $210 including taxes and fees. This is the first time I have dealt with Customs. Other packages have just...

    Ziplock Freezer Bags?

    If kept away from light, are heavy duty Ziplock Freezer bags any good for tobacco storage? If yes, up to about how long could they be used? Months? Years?

    Quebec Hikes Tobacco Tax Today.

    Today's legislation raises the tax on a carton of cigarettes by $37.80, bringing the total carton cost to more than $130. The news report did not say if other forms of tobacco would be affected. Time to expand your cellars, gentlemen and ladies. As I read in some post on here, "Tobacco prices...

    Cost of Presbyterian Mixture

    I got an email this morning that Victory Pipes (in Canada) was having a SALE on Presbyterian Mixture - only $47.51 (US dollars) for a 50 gram tin. I checked it out on Cup O' Joes. They want $12.82 (US dollars) for the same amount. 4noggins was similar. Someone is getting screwed here. So far...

    What is Your Fondest Memory Related to Pipe Smoking?

    For me, it was the time a United States Secret Service agent took me to dinner in a really nice restaurant. While we were sitting there, talking and eating, a terrifically pleasing aroma wafted over to our table. I had to find out where it was coming from. I followed the smell into the bar...

    The Pipe Tool

    This is probably old news to a bunch like this, but just in case, have any of you tried the online pipe/tobacco inventory program called The Pipe Tool? It's pretty well done. I'm quite obsessive when it comes to my hobbies, so I entered all my tobaccos into it. It took a awhile, but I enjoyed...

    Tobacco Remnants

    You know, sometimes, as you get to the bottom of a tin, there is enough left for one pipeful but not enough for a second one? What do you do with the small bit of leftover? Do you mix it into another tobacco that you have a lot of? Do you just use it and smoke a half a bowl? Certainly you...

    The Importance of Pipe Sweetening

    This is my third or fourth time trying to take up the pipe smoking practice. In the past, I quit for various reasons - one of them being how vile the pipe smelled after smoking. That and the smell of the pipe "juice" and the pipe "gunk". Well, this time around, I have the forums like this one...

    Shipping and Handling?

    I was just looking over the invoice for a recent purchase I made from ... I won't say their name since they are a sponsor of this forum. Anyway, I bought a pound of Benjamin Hartwell's Evening Stroll for $39.20. Shipping was was, I thought, a little high at $14.11 (I don't live in China, for...

    New Pipe Purchases

    Hi Boy sand Girls! I've been away for a week visiting my 90 year old father in the USA. Didn't do any pipe smoking in that time, but DID pick up a few pipes I had mailed to his place. (No postal Canadian Customs that way.) I have to say, I got some beauties. I wonder how long it will take me...
