Oklahoma Pipe Club
Greetings Gentlemen, My father passed away recently, and he left a box of various pipe tobaccos for his friends at your local pipe club. I will drop them off at the Tobacco Exchange in Moore soon. I will add a note to make sure they get to you for your next meeting. I just wanted to make sure...- connolse

Oklahoma Pipe Club
I am usually a bit of a hermit, but I will make a concerted effort to be there on 2/8. I know the shop and I have enjoyed meeting some fine people there over the years. I also have a dusty box with some pipes, nothing fancy, I no longer use, and I'd like to pass them on to someone, along with...- connolse

Briarworks Oom Paul and a Kind Word
I am a regular reader, but I very rarely post. I have come out of my silence in praise of a pipe, and in praise of a kind human being. My taste in pipes has changed over the years, and that should come as no surprise to the veterans. Lately, I have taken a liking to the Oom Paul shape. I keep...- connolse

Free Batch of Pipes for Someone in Need
Greetings, I read here from time to time, but I do not post regularly. I have a batch of pipes I no longer smoke, and it seems silly to just hold on to them or try to sell them. I would like to find them a new home, with someone who can appreciate them and care for them. Perhaps some other...- connolse

Frog Morton, What Should I Be Tasting?
I'm with Freehand. I stopped participating in this forum actively some time ago precisely because of people like roth. To each his own, but I prefer civility and kindness as the hallmark of a gentleman, as every true pipe smoker is. I too have noticed inconsistency in the FM line. But I...- connolse

Further to cleaning vulcanite
Ya know, years ago I spent a good amount of money on various 'stem cleaning' doohickeys; toothpaste works wonders. . .hmmmm- connolse

No more pipes for... 5 months! I think I can do it; I KNOW I CAN!
I believe I should officially announce the foundation of PA, 'Pipes Anonymous.' Given that I can personally vouch for the power of a genuine 12 step approach, I can see it now. . . "We came to believe that we were powerless in the face of buying new pipes. . .":-) Seriously, though, I have been... -
Firedance Flake
I suspect Samuel Gawith of any sort is an acquired, or take it or leave it, sort of thing, but I LOVE Firedance. I agree it seems like FVF with casing, but the casing is mild, not overpowering at all. I have the same thoughts on SG's Perfection. Yummy!!!- connolse

Cupojoes Purchase Review
Cup O' Joes is in my experience an excellent retailer. I usually find myself using them or pipesandcigars.com on a regular basis, depending on stock.- connolse

Need Help: Czech Pipes
I actually own the EXACT same two pipe you do, as pictured, purchased a few years back at Club Humidor in San Antonio TX for about $30 a piece. . . My Czech pipes are actually great smokers; my only complaint being that they have rather soft stems that suffer from tooth chatter very easily, and...- connolse

airport security and Pipe
I have had problems with a Czech pipe tool a while back, when the TSA goon confiscated it because of the "weapon-like" poker (his words) and gave me a lengthy lecture on how loving my country meant following TSA rules blah blah blah. I don't know if this guy was just having a bad day or if this...- connolse

Chagrin of the "older generation" (and I use that term loosely!)
The 'old guard' pipe smokers in my family also never knew of things like salt/alcohol treatments, carnuaba wax, the Frank packing method or the like. They also didn't have a formal pipe rotation. But in the end I learned the MOST important tools from them: even if you don't have a huge...- connolse

Favorite time to smoke?
I'm with JC on this :-) But of all the times, the first pipe of the morning is the most sublime, followed perhaps by after dinner.- connolse

wet smokes
Since we're sharing:-) I always thoroughly empty out any loose tobacco from the bowl with my pipe tool, run a cleaner through the pipe thoroughly (two cleaners if it comes out too dirty), and then loop the cleaner over to clean out the inside of the bowl. I then leave it to dry and follow the...- connolse

How to dry tobacco? Shout out to tiltjlp
DGT has also become a favorite method of mine lately, and with certain tobaccos it works wonders. Thanks to Lawrence for bringing it up and giving it a bit of PR!- connolse

Other Pipe Sellers Like Marty Pulvers?
forsooth, I find that I frequent sellers that take the time, as you explain, to describe their product as fully as possible, and I automatically stay away from the ones that take the easy road of just posting a picture. For me, the exact specs and dimensions are important, and I guess I assume...- connolse
