In Defence of WAYS

[Zero]

I didn't check back on this thread until now. Was busy posting dissertations in WAYS

Hope my belated emoji response makes you feel better

Nope

I am glad you posted this. I , too, have read posts where individuals have maligned the WAYS thread as well as its posters, using diminishing statements to undercut the credibility of the posters as being people who feel the need to show off a new pipe, or perhaps feeling the need to be in a beauty contest.

WAYS is a great place to see what is being smoked, both in terms of tobaccos and pipes. It is also a great place to see the faces of so many various posters. In many cases, friendships are made due to the opportunity to have more of a conversation with another smoker over time. Each day you see what your friend is smoking, and eventually, you can begin to see them as a unique person, not just a poster. I feel like I've gotten to know @JOHN72 and @LotusEater as well as many other regular posters.

Because I've gotten to see wha @LotusEater smokes on a daily basis, I now own a Randice Rind. He is also the reason I own a Fez. I wouldn't have otherwise. I am smoking Condor today because our good friend @JOHN72 knew I loved it and sent me some. I hope he enjoys The Beast and 8 State Burley.

WAYS is a great place to learn about pipe smoking by watching what people are actually smoking. It is an even better place to learn about some great pipe smokers.

Is a Randice Rind a second of the Radice line ?

Holy shit boys 8 pages on this thread? Is this the new PMSS 2023??

In regards to the WAYS thread - I thoroughly enjoy looking at some of the expensive ass pipes you crazy bastards smoke. I also love seeing @Carol post about her aromatics in her meer, @JOHN72 post his smokes out of his Charles towne cobbler pipe, or @Jwebb90 posting his meers and tobaccos. I could go on about the people I enjoy posts from in that thread but you get the point. If someone feels sour about that thread, that’s their problem. I’m gonna keep on enjoying it.

Yep.

No. The rind rusticated finish which sometimes is very much like a rough citrus rind and other times very similar to the Castello searock finish one of Radice's main lines. Probably their largest selling line. Great pipes they are.

Not sure why this was locked.

It's reopened, with the note any more single "yep" replies will be deleted. The humor is over. Applies to all threads.

Whoa! Does this mean...moderator war?!

It was locked because there was 8 pages of garbage But...Continue I guess...

By comparison, the P&C catalog is 53 pages of garbage (out of 55 pages total). So it's all relative, I guess...

Clearly the rule book needs a "minimum number of words per post" addendum. Won't impact me as no one has *ever* accused me of brevity.
