I use something called Micro-mesh, it's like an extremely high grit sand paper but it uses a cloth like material instead of paper so it's much more durable. It can be used both wet or dry and I have found that it doesn't matter much which way you use it because either method is extremely...
I enjoy milk & iced coffee when I'm smoking my pipe. Thai tea is also very good if you like creamy & sweet drinks. I also enjoy the South African creme liquour called :elephant: Amarula, it's sweet and has a caramel creaminess to it. It's good over ice or in coffee and it should be available...
I guess it's true what they say, "They don't make 'em like they used to". I just bought a Zippo pipe lighter cause it seems like many folks here like them and boy was I disappointed. It was manufactured in July of this year so it's about as fresh as could be.

Okay so this morning my wife calls me at work and tells my that she forgot to check my pockets before running a load of laundry and guess what. My Old Boy was in my pants pocket and it went through an entire cycle in the washing machine. She was almost in tears and said it took...
about a year ago I finally found stock of Diamond kitchen and penny strike anywhere matches (white head) at my local Albertson's. I always just thought that they quit making them so when I saw them I bought their entire stock. I will have to go back now and see if they have any of the old ones...

I use the "Cork in Palm" method, if you've never heard of it that's probably because I just decided to call it that now lol. Knocking it on my palm always seemed to work fine but I don't care to have ash all over my hand so I bought a cork instead. Well I didn't end up liking the cork either...
A man after my own heart, I'm smoking Lane's BC-A right now, I buy it by the pound from Cup O Joe's. I always keep 2oz of McClelland's VBC around just incase I run out of the Lane's BC-A, to keep me going until my order arrives. My tobacconist stocks the McClellands so it's always there when I...
Hello all, I am a 29 year old new pipe smoker from Southern AZ. I have about 5 inexpensive pipes so far and am looking to add to my collection. I'd really like to find a Marxman Spiggot but can't seem to find any info on them so if anyone would like to fill me in with any info on them or where...
