    Cake Just Saved My Pipe's Life!

    My wife is borrowing my truck, so I was left with my motorcycle. I arrived a bit rushed, but early, to pick up my son from high school swim practice, and as I hadn't yet had my after work pipe, I lit up. Not 5 minutes later my son comes out so I stick my pipe bowl down in my front jean jacket...

    Removing Smoke Smell From Car

    I need help. I need to remove all smell of pipe tobacco smoke from my truck. My home is a licensed Foster Home, and there is a new law passed in California recently that any vehicle that transports a foster child can't even SMELL like smoke. BS, I know. The social worker even agrees it's...

    Hal O The Wynd Lovers, Anything Similar?

    After smoking quickly through 100 grams, I found that this was almost the holy grail of smokes. No idea why it clicked so well with me, but it did. I now want to order a pound, but in bulk, you only save about 8 bucks buying a 500 gr bag versus buying 5 tins. That's less than $2 a tin, and...

    Pipe Smoking in the Tropics

    Hi guys, I just got back from a great family 2 week vacation in the Philippines. Getting over the jetlag...is pretty tough. Anyhow, here are some thoughts about smoking a pipe over there. First off, didn't see a single other pipe smoker. Cigarettes are about 50 cents a pack, so although I...

    Bon Voyage Again, Boys

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Early, boys and girls. I'll be gone until January 3rd, leaving Wednesday for two weeks visiting family from my mom's side this time in the Philippines. I'm taking my wife, son, and mom with me. Not sure I'll find any pipe tobacco over there, but Filipino...

    Would You Pay to Smoke Indoors?

    I rent a 300 square foot office for my business, which is engineering, mostly for the aerospace industry. It costs me $285 a month. The landlord told me I can smoke as long as no one complains. So, I shove a jacket under the door and smoke. Well, with winter on, my neighbors are using the...

    A Public Service Announcement to Harris and Those for Whom the Shoe Fits.

    Please DO NOT lose any important appendages by wrapping them with Black XX. It is possible to cut off the blood flow, and gangrene could occur. If this DOES happen to you, then PLEASE do not admit to it, and give the ANTI's any more ammunition against us, because I am SURE that this could be...

    Bon Voyage Boys, Be Back in December

    Like the post says, I'm going on a little vacation today to Paris, France with my wife. She's from Paris, so we go each year to see family. I've been there many times, so we don't really do the tourist stuff- mainly I just spend time with my in-laws, because I really enjoy spending time with...

    Wife Bought Me a New Pipe

    It's a Savinelli petite 202. No filter. 5.5 inches long. Bowl is .720 x 1.26 deep and inside is uncoated. Should be perfect for the 30 minute flake smoke I prefer and will be by far the nicest pipe I've owned. She says I've been a good boy. I can't wait to smoke it. Almost feel like I need...

    Where Does the Moisture Go?

    Only took me 6 years to wonder! When I smoke my petersons, at the end I literally pull the stem and dump a huge amount of brown liquid out the reservoir. So where does the moisture go in a good dry smoking non system pipe? Most of my non system pipes smoke real dry, as in bottom of bowl...

    Thanks again Cortez!

    Yesterday, out of the blue, I received another package from Cortez. I just want to publically say thanks! There was a bunch more Dark Bird's Eye which I love, a bunch of Grousemoore which I've been very curious about, and a nice sample of Erinmore Flake, which I've also been very curious...

    My Main Pipes

    Hope this works. Posting pics on this site is such a royal pain that will probably be a long time before I try again... Bought this pipe for $10 at an antique store. Unsmoked. 1970's Yello-Bole Centura complete with stinger, which I keep and use. Pipe smokes very, very well. But, I think it...

    What's Causing My Pipe to Smoke Wet?

    Pipe is a straight billiard briar pipe. Italian basket. Original bowl size was about .700 diameter x 1.50 deep. Now caked up and only about .350 diameter or less. I like the cake for a quick smoke and don't really want to ream but if that will make it smoke drier, than I will. This is my...

    Thank You CortezAttic!!!

    I don't even know where to start. How a complete stranger could be so generous is a lesson for me, that I hope to pass on. Really. I just don't have the words. Somehow, this generous man saw what a lakeland lover I am, and sent me nearly 2 pounds of perfectly well kept lakeland tobacco. Dark...
