    There's a poltergeist messing with me

    So yesterday the filtration pump in the aquarium in my den stopped working and I buy another. I unplug the old one to install the new one. As I'm taking the old one out of the water, it starts running again-unplugged. :face: Today I'm sitting in the den enjoying a pot of tea. Tea cup is empty of...

    online blues radio

    Cool, a new forum with the chance to make its first post. Couldn't resist. I love a good blues radio channel online and wanted to recommend the blues channel at wglt.org. Best single blues channel I've found and I've listened to a bunch. Anyone else listen to this one? earl

    Sam Gawith Full Virginia Flake

    As I've mentioned here before I am far too inept to offer a true review. However, wanted to offer my effusive endorsement of this sublime tobacco. Had never tried it before & just got my first order of it, stoking it up. Before this tobac, I'd been wholly unimpressed with any Viriginia-only...

    4 noggins blends

    This was an unknown blender to me til quite recently. Picked up 2 of their blends: Bald Headed Teacher and Jesse's Own as I was looking for some blends with condimental latakia. If I knew how to do a review I would! The first blend is burley & virginia with that touch of lat while the second is...

    Stubborn stems

    I've got a couple of pipes where there's an 1/8 inch gap due to my inability to get the stem to meet the shank. Seems like I recall somewhere that an idea for getting it go go all the way was to lubricate it with some sort of graphite lubricant. If that is so, what would the name be of such a...

    Boswell Mild English

    Every now & then I get the hankering to try to find a blend with a very light latakia touch as I keep thinking I might like it in a blend if very light. I haven't tried any Boswell tobaccos. Anyone have any experience with their Mild English blend? thanks, Earl

    C & D tobacco price increase

    I smoke only C & D simply because I only smoke 2 blends at a time, like their stuff, & like to buy from 1 outlet. When I called them 2 days ago to order my standard 2 pounds, was informed that the price was about to increase $4 per pound. Can understand that, but noticed they had just posted an...

    what's a 107 year-old pipe in pristine condition worth?

    Thanks to the great research of a fellow pipester at another pipe site, I have learned I have just obtained a Salmon and Gluckstein bulldog pipe (British) made in 1900 in pristine condition for a song and wondered what it could conceivably be worth to a collector. thanks, Earl

    author shape question

    I'd recently picked up a Peterson Shamrock in a pipe shop as it was a shape I didn't have & wanted. I'd assumed it was an author. But the ASP pipe chart referred to authors as "beefed up" princes & the only prince I have is an 1/8 bent as was the shape on the chart. This has all the general...

    Castanelli pipes

    I've have an old, lovely 1/8 bent acorn I bought off of a friend years ago and never knew who made it, (only marking on the shank was "Ted's," which I asume perhaps was the name of an old pipe shop). Got curious today & thanks to the pipedia site with its pictures of pipe logos discovered that...

    so that's where you went

    Hello fellow Knoxers (or is that ex-Knoxers?) I'll be listening in to your splendid conversations. Yeah, that Yarn guy over there does put a damper on it doesn't he? :pipe: earl
