Yeha Dudley. I like the finish. The shape ain't my cup of tea but I get it.
Very cool

Guys,
I hope I am not more dense than my neighbors, but I have what may be a "stupid" question.
What the heck dose "PAD" stand for?

[sapo59]

pstlpkr, It stands for pipe acquisition disorder. When one can't help from acquiring a new pipe every so often.

Public Display of Affection?

Ok maybe not..
It's latin.
Pipis aquistas disordirus.
Or Pipe Acquisition Disorder for those of us from AL and TX.

 

[pstlpkr]

Thanks....I think.

I suppose there is only one treatment.

Buy another pipe.

Great looking pipe Bytor!

 

[jonesing]

Hey Dudley you may be in luck. The $45 Tsuge 223s are multiplying over at smokingpipes. There's like 5 or 6 now.

 

[unclearthur]

I was checking those out last night. Not bad at all!

 

[bytor]

Something I didn't comment on about the new churchwarden (and maybe it's common practice/knowledge), but it also came with a standard length stem. Kinda like getting 2 pipes in 1!
BTW...lovin' it! Nice cool, smooth smoke! Noticed a lot more sweetness in the Cap't Black than I normally do.

I want a dual stem churchwarden so bad. I thought I had the PAD under control till you had to mention one, Thanks Bytor.

 

[bytor]

lol...Ok, I'll take the blame on this one. But I blame Lawrence for my PAD...he was the one that posted his churchwardens first!

 

[sapo59]

That will work we can blame him for it all..

 

[dudleydipstick]

Bytor,
That is a sharp pipe, I don't think I've seen any HCA's that weren't. I do wonder though, does it gurgle with the longer stem?

 

[pstlpkr]

Yup, it's all on me.

I confess.

What did I do?

 

[bytor]

I didn't seem to get any more gurgle than I normally would. As a bonus, I am able to pass a pipe cleaner all the way through by just putting the slightest bend at the end and with just a little twisting once I hit the shank.

Sap:
While I fully support all PAD for my vicarious enjoyment, you could always buy a cob and a Churchwarden stem.
Instant dual stem Churchwarden

Although I still think you need an HCA like Bytor's.

[jonesing]

OK Vitor.
This one..

 

[dudleydipstick]

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed how high smokingpipes.com rates the condition of their estate pipes? It's pretty optimistic sometimes.
That rim is too messed up to be rating a 4.7 out of 5. Beautiful pipe though.
