    The Food Saver=The Tobacco Saver?

    I guess a good experiment, as far a tin storage goes, would be to place a tin that's been opened into a bag and steal it. If the lid was on tight enough I wonder if you open up the bag and stuck a coin under the lid if you hear that hissing sound of air re inflating the tin, which happens to be...

    Is Pipe Smoking Becoming More Popular?

    Funny you mention that flakeyjakey, I was thinking of developing a discussion on pipe heritage, or even write a blog too. Tonight I think I'll do that, except it'll have to be after I watch Breaking Bad 8O. I'll make sure too give you a nudge when I do,if your offer still stands. -Brian

    The Food Saver=The Tobacco Saver?

    For those who have seen the infomercial about the Food Saver- The vacuum sealing machine that saves you so much money on freezer burned steaks etc. I had a question on an alternate use: Say you open up a tin of tobacco, then decide after a load or two it would have done you more good in the...

    An Interesting, Fair Read on Health for Once!

    Hey when it's your time to go, your gonna go. That's my theory... you could be the healthiest person in the world, but those rock hard abs are not going to save you from a bus hitting you. We all have our vices, enjoy the life you have, no regrets when that reaper taps on your shoulder.

    First smoke Peterson System

    I just smoked my Peterson System 312 for the first time yesterday. Also my first system pipe. I really enjoyed it,didn't have any gurgle issue but that may be due to my habit of predicting my next smoke 30 minutes into the future and laying out the tobacco to dry. Enjoy yours and good luck...

    Peterson Irish Whiskey

    I just tried for the first time today actually. It did smoke nice but I have to agree it isn't a tin I'm going to burn through in a week. I also wouldn't drink Whiskey for breakfast lunch and dinner so I guess that makes sense. I smoked it in a Bjarne Bent Brandy pipe with a rather large bowl. I...

    Is Pipe Smoking Becoming More Popular?

    I don't really know the definition of young, but I've been smoking a pipe since my mid 20s. And by that I mean regular,I first attempted at 19 but couldn't afford my apartment let alone this hobby. I'm 33 now and with my tattoos long hair and piercings get plenty of funny looks smoking my pipes...

    Hey Plateau guy. Is that name a Nirvana tribute? It was the whole Washington thing that set off the light bulb.

    Can Accomodate 9mm Filter

    Gerritjan I've heard that also about aromatics, just a personal preference to ditch the filter. My theory is if the tobacco doesn't taste good without a filter, I'm not gonna smoke it. And Vauen has been quite the successful company due to the filter business. When I bought mine, it just kinda...

    County in Florida Makes Tobacco Use Illegal

    I think they should start drug testing for junk food and cheese burgers too. I mean that causes tons of health problems. They should make that illegal too. All we can do is live in a bubble and eat carrots and sunflower seeds. I mean why stop at nicotine? Why not start controlling EVERY aspect...

    Can Accomodate 9mm Filter

    I have a couple filter pipes, such as a Vauen 827 and a couple Petes, but I never use the filter. From what I gather many people talk about using filters for the moister etc. I just feel that if you are using the filter to combat the moister, it doesn't mean it disappears, just stays trapped in...

    Oh My God! How Many Pipes Did You Buy!

    I try my best dread, she's more then I could ask for a wife, I never forget how lucky I am. Sounds like you're another dedicated family man, so enjoy your well deserved hobby. Cheers! And commander bragg, that is what happens when you join the dark side!! Should have listened to Yoda after all.

    Oh My God! How Many Pipes Did You Buy!

    Always good times. I went to a liquor store yesterday to buy some wine for the wife and discovered it was also a decent pipe/cigar shop. I got wrapped up looking and ended up getting a Peterson System 312 and two tins of tobacco. .. but no wine. Well I tried to redeem myself by tracking down her...
