    At the reception following a wedding in Ireland, someone yelled "All of the married men, please stand next to the one person who has made your life worth living!" The bartender was nearly crushed to death. :lol:

    False teeth - in or out?

    I've found that I have a problem smoking with my false teeth in. If I try to clench the pipe, one or both (upper and lower) pop free. I've also found that there is a much more enjoyable experience in taste and texture of the smoke with my false teeth out (hard and soft palate exposed). That...

    How soon to use from the production date?

    So my question is this: If I know the production date of a tin, how soon can I start using it? I know that the longer I can let those containing virginia leaf (except aromatics) age, the better that they will be. But what about pure burleys? And what can I smoke while waiting, besides Carter...

    Storage Problems for a Briar returnee

    It's kind of hard trying to break in five new pipes at the same time and try out a bunch of different blends while limiting one's self to only two bowls a day. And I know that the blends will taste differently when the pipes are broken in. Question for the Brothers: What about storage in the...

    I just finished a bowl of Davidoff Red Mixture in my Peterson System Standard 303. After a short afternoon ride on the XR. Sitting in the workshop, listening to the guineas squawk as they discuss perching order while the sun goes down; and staring at the oldest boy's old bicycle. Kept it with...

    Greetings from eastern Kentucky

    Greetings, All. A new joinee from eastern Kentucky; and a returnee to the pleasures of the Briar. Many years ago I smoked a pipe, but promotions to outside assignments and shortage of time to minister to the processes of pipe smoking during the workday led me away from the pipe to cigarettes...
