    Pipe Makers in New Jersey?

    FWIW, there is another JR's in Paramus but I've never been there so don't know what they have as far as lounge, etc.. The Whippany store is nice though.

    Are Pokers Unpopular?

    FWIW, there's two Sav 310 pipes on Ebay going on right now.

    You a 1-brander?

    I seem to notice that my collection consists mostly of Savinellis. I've been slowly adding a few other brands like Stanwell, Nording and a few others that I can't remember right now but still, I think the Savs are my favorites. This got me to wondering if some of us stick to solely one or two...

    Smokin Holsters Ultimate Bag

    How does one carry tobacco in these things? Is there a zippered or enclosed area for tobacco or do you still need to encase the bacco in its own ziplock/baggie and then put it in the pouch?

    Smokin Holsters Ultimate Bag

    Looks nice. You gonna sling that puppy around with ya, eh? I don't know... I use an old Norelco e-shaver pouch I had laying around. I hate man purses but to each his own.

    Filters

    At first I used to use them, now I don't. I do have some filters laying around I should use to get rid of them. IMO they don't take the flavor away, but it's just a hassle remembering to swap'em out. It's your call. Try using them and see how if it does anything for ya.

    Neal Stephenson smokes a pipe - what is it?

    I loved Cryptonomicon. It was my first Stephenson book and then I read all his others. I wish he'd stop with all these silly side projects and write some damn books! :D

    Pete 304 or 306

    I say get the bigger one. You can always put a small amount of leaf in the bigger bowls but you can't put a lot into a smaller bowl without plugging it.

    Zippo pipe lighter...

    I think you'll like the new Zippo fuel, dugo. I wait about 5 seconds after igniting either my Zippo or Imco and by then the smell is pretty much gone. Big difference from the old fuel.

    Handy tool for cleaning.

    Back to the OP's topic.... thanks for the info! Gotta love Harbor Freight. Cheap Asian products we all love to hate but buy anyway. I'll be picking these up tomorrow.

    BO NORDH STRAIGHT GRAIN FREEHAND CALABASH PIPE

    Shouldn't this be in the Trading Post? Curious question: Why Ebay UK when the item is located in Madison Heights, VA, USA?

    Seven Essentials

    Well that's it now, isn't it...if one cares enough then they'll study more than one avenue of opinion. That's what this whole pipe/tobacco journey's all about. :)

    Mugged

    Yes, a lot of us have been in the same way, Forsooth. We're going to Hell in a handbasket and Obama's the delivery guy. Mugged really is a good book though. I don't agree with everything she might say but she nails it in this book. BTW, have you ever heard about the John Birch Society? I just...
