    quality chronometer

    That's right up my alley. I've had a Swiss Army Ambassador for 5 years. It's an automatic and cost about $500 new. It's a nice choice and no problems. Most Swiss manufacturers that cost less than maybe $1500 and use an automatic movement will use the same one, ETA 2824. It's reliable. So when...

    Rattray's Marlin Flake

    Bump All is well in Marlin Flake Land. The same tin as two months ago and no more cotton mouth and it smokes like a dream. It was more than likely me. :suspect: Don't take this as Professional advice, but FWIW I put Saran wrap under the lid and then let it breathe about once a week.

    McClelland Matured Virginia No. 24

    Thanks for the good review. I've been wondering lately about a Virginia/Oriental blend that doesn't contain Latakia, and this may do the job. Are there any other blends of this type?

    Esoterica Tobacciana Penzance

    I'm glad someone else thinks this has changed over the years. I thought it was my tastes changing. The last tin I tried was two years ago and had to chuck most of it. Still have one on the shelf but am afraid to open it. 10-15 years ago I had a two hour smoke of this that I thought was...

    WOW ...what do you think?

    A pipe can cause an emotional response but it doesn't have soul. I had a wood carver friend of mine carve a pipe from a kit. Whenever I reach for it there's a brief reminder of friendship between us. There are good reasons to buy from Trever or Tom or Teddy, but keep it in perspective. You're...

    Air purifiers - air cleaners - exhaust fans ?

    You want to stay away from the ones that generate ozone. I had one that I left on before going to bed, and when I woke up I was extremely dizzy. It took most of the day for it to wear off.

    Smoking Ban in NC Restaurants and Bars Passed Today

    I can understand banning it in restaurants, but in Illinois they just ban it everywhere! We had a nice coffee shop with two separate rooms so everyone was happy but that's over now.

    help with 1st pipe

    You can get bulk tobacco like Peter Stokkebye for $25 a pound. Maybe that would be more cost effective for you. Pipes are a good way to relax after getting beaten up all day at work.

    refinishing a pipe

    I had a friend carve a pipe from a kit, and I stained it with shoe dye from a shoe repair shop. Came out great. It's alcohol based. Just like regular stain, you want to use multiple layers and wipe the excess each time. Sand with very fine sandpaper. OTOH if looks aren't important the pipe will...

    Weaver Pipes

    I was looking at his pipes and I like this type of sandblast and long, thin shanks. http://baweaverpipes.com/pipesforsale.html Any opinions on these or other, similar makers? PM me if you want to be brutally honest.
