Hedge Building in Great Britain
This is something that not one in 100 will find of interest, but I found it fascinating AND it has something to do with pipes. The video below is an old vintage reel from 1942 and it is displaying the art/science of building the hedges that they use to separate fields and pastures and that...- Choatecav

MARXMAN Pipes, anyone?
That is a low down thing for the seller to do..... I would note his misrepresentation on eBay. I once bought a pipe there and when I received it there was a horrendous crack. I immediately messaged him with pictures, and he had the gaul to say that "hmmmm, don't know what could have happened...- Choatecav

Dedicated Pipes
Nice collection. Gotta respect someone with this commitment to dedicated pipes. I'm curious that there are no cobs which are good about not ghosting. May I ask why they are absent? thx.- Choatecav

MARXMAN Pipes, anyone?
I went to my two Marxman pipes and the Captain is marked with France. The billiard, however says Italy. So, I suppose both are Mastercraft and post '54 manufacture. But, both smoke wonderfully....... "C'est la vie"- Choatecav

Are Windcaps Over?
Man, that is a beautiful room for smoking a pipe. Lots of wood, high ceilings, a fireplace. Once you lite up, all you'd need is Norman Rockwell to set up his easel and paint your portrait.- Choatecav

Are Windcaps Over?
This is the best way to approach these things. I have a couple that work in a "half-assed" manner. They are better than a sharp stick in the eye, but they are far from perfect. It's not much of an investment.- Choatecav

Gord, that Kimchi sounds kinda tasty. Tell me.... does the cabbage go through a fermenting process somewhat like it does in the making of sauerkraut??- Choatecav

The Virtue of Dry?
Yeah, the climate of the area makes a huge difference. I have to really stay on top of my humidor during the winter when the air is dryer. But, during the summer it is more forgiving.- Choatecav

What are You Watching? [2024] Please Rate 1-5
You got this right. When I was a kid and Wizard of Oz came on, I would plan for days to watch it. Back then it came on one time per year (as I remember it) and I would plan and prepare for watching it. Then..... when it was over, I was bummed out and sad for days cause I knew it would be a...- Choatecav

The Virtue of Dry?
Ouch..... Cosmic, I don't see how you and Funk can smoke dry cigars..... For me they fray at the ends and burn unevenly. I don't like them too wet either but I want them around 68 - 70%, slightly firm and with a good draw. While we are at it, do you prefer a maduro, natural or more of a...- Choatecav
