Thanks for the information, guys... I am fascinated to know that a well drilled pipe can solve the gurgle problem... I do like a few aromatics, and I do let them dry a bit before smoking. I think it's a cheap bent pipe problem. Plumbernater: Man, I've never heard of the sling method --- but...

I hope that every has enjoyed at least one New Year's Pipe today :) I'm re-evaluating my love for straight stem pipes and would like some input. I like the straight stems since they tend to smoke well and not gurgle, as well as the fact that they seem to fit "me" well. But, the bents just...

Not-specifically-in-your-area... But, there are a few bars around me, here in the boonies of NY, that still couldn't care less if you smoke a cigar, cigarette, or pipe. They even offer you an ash tray when you pull out your pipe and matches... I would love to get a list of good places like...

I'm in for a Bob Cob or two... regardless of shape. :D

I helped a friend set up one of these for his sick son... via facebook: https://fundrazr.com/ It links funds directly to your Paypal account and takes a pretty small cut. If it helps, it helps. ADK

Thanks for the tip on preserving burl! I will pick up some of the water based emulsion... any resource you can point me to for buying it? That probably means that the ones I've tossed in piles over the years aren't much use at this point! Out of curiosity, is there much use to softwood (pine)...

Well, maybe from this point on I will just chuck them in a pile indoors to let them dry --- I don't have any plans to sell what I find, but I may be in the market for some tobacco trades! It's better someone put them to use then I simply tossing them and forgetting about them. I won't have...

Good afternoon! I was reading this post on oak burl: https://www.brothersofbriar.com/t16405-if-only-oak-burl-made-good-pipes?highlight=oak+burl And Kyle mentioned that some woodworking brothers might be interested in hardwood burls. I never thought of that. I don't have any on hand right...

FWIW: Kimber Ultra Carry II and Ruger LCP in .380 when in light summer clothing... Those are the favorites, at least. Revolvers for woods work. Rifles for hunting. Shotgun for home. I love my LCP the most, though. It's easy to carry, easy to conceal, and light. All of those factor in...

Thanks for the great list of information... I have a lot of research to do! I'm surprised that you start them in January here in Upstate / Northern NY. How big are they when you put them out after the threat of frost?

I also just found this site, which has a pretty good mix of varieties: http://www.seedman.com/Tobacco.htm#2

Good afternoon everyone! I am putting together some thoughts for attempting to grow tobacco next year and I would like to start off on the best "foot" possible. I am a fan of both good latakia / english blends and well done aromatics... but I end up smoking more aromatics. Anyhow, if I was...

That's some great info --- thanks for the write-up! Ive thought about getting one of the longer belts, which would allow me to play with some knife making. I never thought about the "contour" aspect for shaping a pipe. That must work like a champ! I'll check out the links. Thanks!! ADK

I do have a belt sander, but I would love to get one of those belt sander / circular sander combos. Like this one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00005NMRO/?tag=hyprod-20&hvadid=15467987859&hvpos=1o1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=25485621080512260&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&ref=asc_df_B00005NMRO So many...

Thanks for the responses, gentlemen. The 9x20 looks like a great machine... I will take a close look at that one. I also plan to keep an eye out on Craigslist. I picked up an old Atlas drill press through a garage sale. It needed to be rewired and have a new drive belt put on it, but it's a...
