    Cutting a pipe bowl?

    Don't necessarily want a pot, just make this Savory more useful to me.

    colonoscopy anyone?

    10 feet of garden hose? NOPE! Dr. keeps after me, and I tell her no and don't start in on my smoking, flu shots, shingles vac, etc. either. Maybe next year, and maybe not.

    Choose One of these Four

    I like SWR but Carter Hall is less expensive. Prince Albert is okay at best, I think of it as a RYO. Half & Half, might as well smoke hay chaff off the barn floor after you let the cows back out.:sick: Then a lot of old timers used to smoke Half & Half. Now I'm the old timer, when did that...

    Cutting a pipe bowl?

    Cutting a pipe bowl?

    Little background. Been smoking a pipe for about 40 years. A pipe is my preferred nicotine delivery system. I'm not sitting for extended periods of time gazing at my navel and taking a long-drawn-out smoke. Yes I inhale. 5 min. break smoke a bit and back to work. Before you find fault, I...

    Let me resign ... PLEASE!

    I told em and I told em. I've got my age. I've got my time. One day you will look around and say hay where did so and so go? They all laughed and said I would give plenty of notice, have a retirement forced fun meeting, an exit interview, and all the B.S. that allows the management to pat...

    Help buying my first COB

    been smoking MM cobs for 40 years. Only started with briars some ten years ago. Lucite stems are nice, same for the forever stems. Shapes and size for whatever strikes your fancy. BUT it's darn hard to beat the simple, common, Legend. Now if someone would make a Vulcanite stem...

    Rogers Sheffield NOS Pipe Knife

    What is the knife blade like? I'm not looking to slotter hogs, or baton fire wood, however I have a few Basset knives that you can't put an edge on to save your soul. It would be nice to have a pipe tool/ pen knife that was actually usable. Thanks. Yes I know about "doctor's knives" but they...

    Disappointing tobacco

    Half and Half. Half hay chaff and half dry cow pies They do sweep off the cow barn floor don't they?

    Lament of the Canadian pipe smoker

    How many head shops do you have? Here in Maine Czarina Mills and the Duma outlawed sales of tobacco by mail. (to protect the children. which I thought was the parents job.) then made not only "medicinal" marijuana legal but recreational also. So, other than chain cigarette shops, one cigar...

    Winter pipe smoking

    Live here in Maine where it gets nippy from time to time, and never give it any thought, nor had any problems. I just stand out side and smoke, or maybe sit in a snowbank. I do try to avoid smoking in the freezing rain, but being a slave to nicotine that's not always possible.
