How do you refill it? I got a Bolbo at the Las Vegas show- and one of the things I've had some trouble with is refilling it. None of my extensions on the Vector gas seem to fit it and just using the nozzle itself is tricky...

http://newsgroups.derkeiler.com/Archive/Alt/alt.smokers.pipes/2009-08/msg00094.html More interesting info on the Nimrod. The original company is still in existence, but doesn't make lighters anymore.

Turns out I have the Nimrod Executive Pipeliter. It's not too bad at all. I still prefer my IMCO and the Tsubota lighters

I got a sample from Russ at the West Coast Pipe show. I rather liked it, but then again, I really like Latakia and Oriental blends. I am curious now about Bengal Slice- yet another thing I'm sure I'll never get a chance to try. Oh well.

That was a very cool set. Cheers and congratulations! I thought I recognized you as I wandered around...I was the guy in the lecture Russ gave that I sat next to you during.

I liked it for sure. The mix of the latikia and orientals was great. But- you can't get it anywhere since it's all sold out. Gawith makes a version of their own and I ordered three ounces. Some are saying, as I lurk around online that Gawith's version is more like the original.

TOO expensive new. But I have some lines on used ones in the usual places. I'm just curious if it's worth it.

Today at the old B&M was lighter day...I walked in and saw Kyle and Craig, the guy who worked there tonight playing with lighters. I ended up getting a Lotus lighter...my first real serious lighter. We kept on talking and I got the idea of trying to find an old Dunhill lighter. Is it worth...

Kyle's been talking these up and we might be able to convince the people at our B&M to get some...

I remember hearing something about this, but no specifics...

Kyle or I, or both of us might end up there at some point in the near future. I look forward to meeting more of you all!

I wish I could take credit for that phrase, but I stole it from Star Wars. I always liked that line.

That would be interesting. Just mostly lurking and reading here has made me quite interested in the folk here. Admitably, I mostly lurk and read and put in a good word when I need to, after all, there's so much to learn and know about all this!

I have to go with that description. Yes. In my wanderings around Sacramento, I have seen Tobacco Road, but wasn't sure about it. It warrants a look I think.

It was an experience for sure. I was hoping there'd be more Petersons, actually. I want to see some of the Holmes and the Mark Twain set. They have the Holmes at the Arden Fair store and after consulting with his colleague, they didn't know what a Mark Twain was! The selection of the pipes...
