I've got the extra large in dark coffee that I use for just about everything. Goes to the office with work stuff, carries all my hiking/camping gear, or comes along with me when I go fishing and hunting. Their bags work for just about anything. Also have one of their small pouches that holds...

Well, most of my pocket knives no longer get carried much. Been replaced with a Victorinox Multitool. I'm a big fan of Victorinox, all their knives that I've had have been great and lasted much longer then most of my others. And yes, when I don't have it I definitely miss it. Don't realize...

Well no sign of mold, just a little dry so hopefully I'm in luck. Thanks guys!

I guess I'm the only one with a bad Mossberg here, eh? I've got a 590 Mariner as one of my bear swatters and can't say I'm real fond of it. Durable as all heck, but picky about ammo. Cheap shell cases cause it to not feed properly. My 870 duck gun is older than I am and still works perfect...

Now I know this isn't pipe related, but thought someone might here might have some knowledge on this. I also smoke RYO tobacco when I don't have time to enjoy my pipes. I have a tin of Amsterdam Shag that is (inadvertently) well aged, enough that the tobacco inside turned black. Anyone know...

My current favorite pistol is my Judge. Still not sure that it's very useful, but a heck of a lot of fun to play with. After that would have to be the Ruger Mark III Hunter. Only a .22, but fun and very accurate. Third in line, my modified Glock 21. Was real careful on the work I did on...

Now that's an interesting question. I haven't noticed anything attracted to my pipes at all when I've been out, I generally try to avoid wildlife though. Maybe I'll go chuck an old corn cob at a bear tomorrow and see what he thinks. :mrgreen: I normally just throw my pipe and tobacco in a...

The cabin is still there, there is quite the community out at Hippie Cove now. Changed quite a bit though, the city was trying to make it a tourist fishing spot so it's gotten a little urbanized. Not too bad yet though. Gene is the man you are thinking of, though everyone just called him...

Thanks for all the welcomes everyone. Trout: I'm in the Cordova area. Mostly fish the ocean, rivers, streams and a few lakes in the area. By far most of my fishing is for the salmon runs, but get a little in for Dolly Varden and Cutthroats. Unfortunately when the fish are in I'm pretty...

Those are some real beauties there, congratulations on the great couple of days of fishing! Thanks for sharing the fine story. And welcome to the 20/20 club!

Here in my town there is a petition going around to make it so you can't smoke inside any business, or within 50' of a door to any business. All started here because people want to take their children to the bar while they get hammered. Somehow smoking around them is bad, but having them...

Wow, this is a great thread. Thanks for sharing the stories. No real special pipes that I have right now, though I hope someday they will be for someone else.

Thanks for the welcome everyone. A break in smoking to go fishing or a break in fishing to smoke. That's a pretty tough choice to have to make. Does help eliminate the concern of finding out if briar floats or not though.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I was thinking you wanted to keep the ash in the bowl so I'd been trying not to dump it. And those smoldering ashtrays can go for quite a while, can't they? Can get rather exciting . . .

Hello Everyone, Have a question about the ash on top of the burning tobacco for you more experienced smokers. On my Brebbia Twin with a really deep bowl, it seems to burn too hot if I don't dump the ash about 2/3 of the way down. Is this something to do with too much ash, or is there...
