Smoking as a Conservative Act
If "Conservative" is capitalized, politics is usually being discussed. And there are many, many shades of "Conservatism." Otherwise, I interpret "conservative" as a person slow to accept change. I stick with WFB's observations/writings when discussing true "Conservatism" politics and no other...- warren

When and Where.
Eight plus bowls a day. I don't over think it. If I want a bowl, I stuff, light and enjoy, working or at rest. I don't. I smoke for the nicotine, . The pipe is a tool for burning up your hard earned wages, a wee vice. No financial constraints for me, I can easily afford the luxury of...- warren

Smoking as a Conservative Act
I don't belief "conservative" was being use in the political sense. The context indicates more a person averse to change/innovation.- warren

Hay Walmart! Say It Ain't So!
I'd bet the space taken up with tobacco products is now filled with product(s) more profitable than tobacco products. Makes good economic sense, better for the shareholders. -
Why Do New Pipes Smoke Hot?
I've never experienced such. Well, not in the last 60 years, after I passed the beginner stage. When I overheated a pipe it was always me, not the tool. -
Pope Francis, 88, has died
Disagreements in beliefs, political, social and so forth do not necessarily preclude mutual respect. Well, except for the close minded ideologues. They will brook no spoken or written dissent to their ideological beliefs. Adults can agree to disagree without such affecting mutual respect or...- warren

In Support Of Calabash Pipes
I had one, years ago I smoked regularly in public. An affectation to be sure. (Ahh, sweet youth and the importance of appearance.) It was good smoker, just a bit to clumsy. And, I finally got shuck of the idea of trying to impress folks. I got comfortable in me own skin.- warren

Best No Nonsense Way to Pack and Break in a Pipe
When I started, I carefully loaded only the bottom third and slowly built up cake. Last pipe I purchased, Peterson's in Dublin, I loaded in the store, full bowl, and was blissfully smoking away as I left and strolled, enjoying the buskers, Grafton Street. That was ten years ago or so. I...- warren

Shortening Pipes
Just buy a couple Missouri Meerschaums rather that maim a decent pipe, changing the esthetics of a decent pipe. Or, pick an ugly pipe and shell out for a shorter but, well fitted bit. I suspect you can buy few MMs for the cost of remodeling a briar. -
Vintage Missouri Meerschaum pipes.
Yup, query MM for a proper response. Go right to the source!- warren

Any EDC CCW'ers?
The Second Amendment has nothing to do with use of a firearm, local laws cover that. A home defense weapon creates questions which need answers. Are there children residing in the home? Are you prepared to take a life or, is the weapon only there as a visual/audible deterrent? Do you have...- warren

Any EDC CCW'ers?
In what way? It is exactly the same as hunting except hunting animals is usually done in daylight.. You must identify your target, kin?, intruder?, bear? or, fellow hunter/ brother officer?. Stalking a suspect/perpetrator is hunting. Very serious hunting, often done in the semi-darkness, at...- warren

Pentax Cameras are Bargains
This is the reality of the working photo-journalist. I dabbled but, wildlife shooting was my choice. Only two unbreakable rules; 1) be there! and 2) be ready (anticipate). Of course the lens you really want will be at home! So, pick your perspective and capture the best shot possible. :sher...- warren

Pentax Cameras are Bargains
The 850's Expeed is what? four generations old. Expeed (Nikon's propriety software) and pixel size means the 850 is old, slow, has acceptable image capability but, is generations behind the curve. Lots of acceptable manufacturers around but, no other onboard processing is even close Expeed...- warren

Wasting Money On Tobacco!!
Burning up your hard earned wages is money wasted. Most of us here consider it well wasted though. Very similar to the time we spend spend in this site. Wasted time but, for the most part, well wasted.:sher:- warren
