With all of the snow, wind, and rain as well as the fact that I cannot smoke in the apartment I have not had a good pipe in while. That changed today. Have never been one to really do anything about my birthday other than note its passing. However, I have a small group of friends, slowly made...

Jeremy Brett's turn as Holmes was really rather brilliant. I like Elementary. As an "inspired by" kind of show. Also. Lucy Liu. :twisted: 8) Yep.... nuff said.

A good b-day to you.

Something similar to this is what I generally use, a swirling scoop followed with a light tamping and then an additional swirling scoop. Works really well when filling your pipe from a bag and can also work well straight from the tin.

Neat. Looks like a nice pipe to enjoy. Enjoy. 8)

This morning was nearly zero with the wind chill but this afternoon was a rather pleasant eighteen degrees. And the wind of the last week was nothing more than a gentle breeze. Was able to enjoy a nice pipe as I walked back to the apartment after work.

In today's balmy 18 degree weather I was able to enjoy some L.J. Peretti Yuletide in my Grabow Duke.

Welcome to the board, hope you enjoy your time here. 8)

There was a year when every book I read that year was authored by Feynman. His description of water in the lecture series is amazing. His autobiographies are amazing. He really was an amazing man. Thank you for posting.

Feeling the pain. Last time I even tried to smoke was Monday and between the wind, the cold and my lighter not working well (despite keeping it warm) it did not work well. It was not helped that I was trying a new pipe style - my zeppelin (more on this later as I get another chance to try it)...

That spiral cut stem is attractive.

As the others have said, just be careful, try a couple different methods, settle on the one that works for you, and use that method for a bit. Especially if you different pipes with varying bowl sizes/shapes. Finding something that works will give you a feel for the tobacco density, actual...

Though I usually enjoy a good walk with a pipe, since moving to Boston it is roughly the only way I get a chance to actually enjoy my pipe. Does not work every day, but when it does, it sure adds to my already enjoyable daily walks. Hope you heal quickly.

It is a good looking pipe.

It is good to be back among friends. I will try and keep up a little better this coming semester.

You should drop Dreadgerbil a line, there is a new pipe smoking club in Boise, they just started a few months ago, and he can get you the info. Also, welcome to the board.

Hello everyone, It has been a little while since I last logged in. In December it was finals. At first I tried to keep logging in, but my paper writing and projects kept me too busy. Then there was a health crises in my family (still recovering but doing well). Anyway, I am not dead. Before...

Reading through the last few pages plastered a smile on my face. This is amazing. Well and truly amazing. Well done and well deserved.

I too just received my copy of the December newsletter but have not yet looked at it. This is sad news indeed.

I love some good sauerkraut. Simple kraut of cabbage, salt and water is a simple pleasure. My favorite store bought brand is "Bubbies" however, I think if you want it sour, real and truly sour, you need to make it yourself. It is not hard to do and there is plenty of good and trust worthy...
