Keep it a momento not a momento mori....🤔🤨

Great points! Thank you. Actually I'm pretty confident its Lignum vitae. I worked for Woodcraft for years in the past where we regularly carried, sold, and worked with that species. So I am pretty familiar with it. I'm still not real confident about the safety of smoking it. I will probably put...

I recently returned from a vacation in the Dominican Republic. While I was there I picked up a locally made pipe. The pipe is made from Lignum Vitae. I picked one that seemed to be drilled straight with a hole in the stem that is centered and low in the bowl. My questions are concerning the...

Early Morning Pipe in a Rattray's Ahoy rusticated. Lit with a magnifying glass that slowly warmed the leaf to a smoldering combustion. Beautiful flavor with nothing to interfere with the way God intended it. Sweet tea to moisten the mouth. Very enjoyable...

I received the pipe a couple of days ago. I didn't get a chance to try it untill today because of work. I work 12 hour shifts at a hospital. It's posted as a "Tobacco Free Area" ( I have yet to find the "Free Tobacco")🤔🤨 Anyway I finally got a chance to try it out today. I have thoroughly...

Newminster 400 Superior Navy Flake in my new Rattrays Ahoy that my son gifted me for my birthday. This is my first bowl of Newminster and my first bowl of anything in this pipe. I can honestly say I'm enjoying both tremendously!

Sorry I accidentally sent before I finished typing.... It wasn't for dramatic pause.....🤔 I add a piece of bicycle inertube around the gap. It seals it and stops evaporation. Just roll it down to use and when finished roll it back up. It will keep the regular Zippo filled for a long time...

I carry 2 Zippo pipe lighters all the time. 1 has the Zippo pipe insert the other has the Vector Thunderbird for butane. If either one is empty or if the wind conditions change I switch up. A trick I have used for years with the regular Zippo to stop evaporation is

I wonder if we could see Smoke signals from there?.... You'll have to send some up so we can see.... 😁

Welcome from the Foothills of the Great Smokey Mountains. I only beat you here by a few hours, but they seam like a friendly enough group to hang around with for awhile.

Thanks from the other side of the mountain

I am very interested in buying a Rattrays Ahoy pipe. None of the brick and mortars in my area have one. I can order from one from several of the online stores but can't actually lay hands on one prior to buying it. When I look for reviews of this pipe, I can't find anything other than Rattrays...
