    Gambled and Won!

    I'm trying to expand my pipe shape selection from my standard choice, a Rhodisian. A couple of months ago I was crusing the "bay" and saw this no-name Canadian that had frankly seen better days. There was something about it that told me to gamble, so I paid $19.00 on a hunch. When it arrived...

    Camping Alert !

    My cousin and her husband were camping this weekend. While they were sitting and having coffee they watched 2 separate men take their sewer hoses to empty sites and wash them out using the fawcet that people hook their water lines to. They splashed their crap all over the sites and the fawcets...

    Rumor

    I'm hearing that Kyle Black has popped up again (anyone who has been burnt, knows who I'm talking about). Does anyone know if this rumor is true? In the past he has also gone by the name of Anthony Combs, ebay: lauyrn000francis and has used Briar as a forum name. He has shipped out of Manvel...

    Second Savinelli . . .

    I always thought I was a Peterson man. I've always gotten good pipes while others have had quality problems. Then, I bought my first Savinelli. I liked it so well, I decided to get another. Thanks to input from Zonomo, I decided to go with a Oscar Tiger Rustic. I chose the 673 style...

    First Savinelli

    I had sold a few pipes out of my collection that just weren't right for me. Saved up the money and bought a Savinelli Tortuga 305 from Smokingpipes. url=https://servimg.com/view/18752034/2][/url] I've always leaned towards Peterson pipes, but have read so many good things about Savs that I...

    So, I'm Ignorant . . .

    The other day my wife and I sat down to watch "The Hindenberg" on TMC. The first thing that surprised me was that smoking was allowed on a zeppelin filled with hydrogen. Then, I saw Ann Bancroft light up a little metal pipe along the lines of a Falcon, but the bowl was odd looking. I was...

    Thanks, Zonomo!

    Usually my wife goes to the post office to pick up the mail. Today, I had errands so I said I'd do it (I'm still waiting on my Falcon Meerschaum bowls so I had a reason to be helpful). There was a package from Z in the pile. I had to drive all over the place to finish my errands before I...

    Fiction mimicking Truth???

    I read mysteries. Right now I'm in the middle of a Lord Peter Wimsey mystery where PW grabs a friends pipe and puts a pipe cleaner down it so that he can dirty Bunter's hands (ugh). After doing so, PW states that his friend needs to clean his pipe or he'll die of nicotine poisoning. I know...

    Kaywoodie Pipes

    Even though I've smoked a pipe for over 40 years, (I was a 1 pipe, 1 tobacco guy) I'm still in a learning mode. At this time I have six Falcons, 4 Petersons, 2 Comoys, and a GBD. I'm trying to keep the PAD under control, but I keep reading posts about the Kaywoodie pipes and I admit it, I'm...

    Hi, Guys

    In a previous life I was known as PlateauGuy. At 5 am this morning when I was joining BoB the user name "TheFalcon" seems clever. Not! After several cups of coffee I realized just how dorky it was. God, I hope I can change it! :affraid:  I'm an aro smoker of 40+ years. Up to last year I...
