    Do any of you young guys remember Chris Farley?

    Exactly. After the "original" cast the show just did a sloooow downward spiral for my interest. Farley did seem to have something going for him.

    POLL: Do you smoke cigarettes?

    2 or 3 times a week I'll twist up some PA or G&H Kendal Kentucky. Big stress days, roll some G&H Dark Birds Eye, that will darn sure cure ya of what ails ya! Tailor-made cigs ... nope.

    **URGENT** CRIPPLING TAXES ON PIPE TOBACCO PROPOSED

    Curiouser and... Cellaring/Hoarding is called out as a head-in-the-sand reaction that will do good. Opinions along the lines of put-up-or-shut-up, country built on taxes so pay your fair share etc, pass somewhat unscathed so far. Fascinating behaviors.

    **URGENT** CRIPPLING TAXES ON PIPE TOBACCO PROPOSED

    No one has suggested that a body can't do both. Building a cellar or as some may seem to denigrate with the term hoarding, is nothing more than common sense. Between the Antis' and the Tax and Spenders, niche pursuits such as ours stand a good chance of being severely hobbled with respect to...

    **URGENT** CRIPPLING TAXES ON PIPE TOBACCO PROPOSED

    Build your cellar now. Build it fast and build it deep. I have been, and will continue to do so until enactment of such as S1403 make it so I can no longer afford to. I do miss the country of my birth.

    drink of choice while smoking

    Dark beer, a good porter from any brewery goes well with most any tobacco for me. Non-Booze? Coffee for the most part, occasional cup of tea

    Troost pipe tobacco attracts hornets.

    So I suppose tomorrow you'll need to have your bowl of Troost in one hand, can of RAID in t'other! ;-)

    Troost pipe tobacco attracts hornets.

    Is there a story here? Inquiring minds and all.

    Ponomarchuk pipes

    Now this latest pipe makes me smile. Something in the lines puts me in mind of mirthful joy, or perhaps gentle happiness. Thanks for posting your work Alexander!

    Old Ironsides status

    If you like it then YES you should pick up what you can! I can't speak to whether it's out of production or not but I do know prices only go higher and the Anti's just keep getting their way all too often. So you certainly want to stock up on any blend that you really like whenever your able...

    Quarter Bent Noske

    Simple, classic, erm, Egg? Regardless the shape designation, tNd sums it up nicely saying it's "balanced". The orientation of the grain to the shape is perfection. Easy to see why you like this one!!

    New/Old Pipe Stand

    Perhaps some negotiations are in order! Appears the lower section would hold quite a few tins or jars.

    My understanding has been that the square or diamond shank equals a bulldog. Nice one at that!!

    How Many Open Tins at Once?

    Not a concern here with drying out. I primarily purchase bulk and so it follows I've more than a few mason jars. For the blends that aren't available in other than a tin, same thing. Pop the tin and put the contents in a jar. I've as yet to have an issue with a large number of different blends...

    Made a new rack..

    That really shows off your handiwork having the pipes in it. Appreciate your sharing it!

    Shape preferences, is this normal?

    Split about 50/50 between straights and bents of varying degrees. As for bowl shape the only preference I really have is for small ones. My "larger" bowls all average around 3/4" x 1 1/4" perhaps. Billiards most, a couple of Oom Pauls. The pipes that see the most action are generally right at an...
