    What's Your Favorite Pipe Season ?

    I've only been smoking the pipe for a couple of years now, but for me it's not so much the time of year as the temperature outside as that is where I do all of my smoking. When I was in school down in California I was comfortable pretty much all year so long as the wind wasn't blowing like...

    What's your poison when smoking?

    I usually just have a cup of tea. I actually don't like coffee, but I think if I did I would drink that as well.

    A Question of Length

    I have a churchwarden that I have smoked on occasion. It does produce a much cooler smoke, but I have found that to be a good thing in the case of some tobacco's. They just seem to burn too hot in a shorter-stemmed pipe. Then again, sometimes it smokes too cool for some blends and I find...

    Buza's Jamestown 1612

    Lol. I didn't mean for that to be a long, complicated question. I was just kinda curious how long you personally cellar your items. I have read some of the topics on aging and cellaring, although I don't think I have checked out the G.L. Pease article yet, and even have some items aging now...

    Buza's Jamestown 1612

    I'm curious Kap, how long do you age most of your tins? Is there any rhyme or reason to it?

    Some fine pipes from my collection up on eBay

    I really like that Boswell. He really has a neat style to his pipe's. Especially his churchwardens. Makes me wish I had the money to spend. Unfortunately, I don't at the moment. I hope it finds a great home.

    It's Friday, what have we learned?

    That is about the most intelligent reason for the name I have ever heard. It's always bugged me. Perhaps I can rest in peace now.

    Board Participation

    I've posted a few times since joining. Mostly I just like reading what you all have to say and seeing the banter go back and forth. I don't really post anything unless I have something I feel I can contribute, which right now just doesn't seem like a whole lot. I certainly hope there is no...

    SAVA tampers (master of Orel, Russia)

    I would love to get my hands on some of those. They are really neat.

    What are you smoking?

    Just finished a bowl of MacBaren's Mixture Flake out in the sun on a fantastic Sunday afternoon in Oregon. It is beautiful outside today.

    Different Wood

    Has anyone seen the pipes made of Yak horn on ebay? I keep thinking that is an interesting idea and wonder what other people think.

    What Are You Reading?

    What?! You didn't like the cheesy song "Where there's a whip, there's a way?" Or "Frodo of the nine fingers"? How sad.

    Something For Freehand luvers!

    Well guys, I didn't get it. But to whoever has it, a pretty pipe indeed.

    Something For Freehand luvers!

    I keep checking this thing to see if the bidding price has increased. I'm a fan of the freehand shape. Problem is, I keep trying to convince myself I should bid on it.

    What are you smoking?

    Just finished a bowl of a local B&M's house blend. I detected hints of chocolate in it today under the sunshine.

    The Dog Whisperer

    I'm addicted to it. I think the biggest thing that makes Cesar so effective is that he treats the dog like it is a dog, not like it is the son or daughter the people who own it don't have. Great show.

    What Are You Reading?

    Re-reading the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. It looks like the last few books will be coming out over the next two or three years so I thought I would get back into them and finish off something I started so long ago.

    Creative Briar Pipes

    Sasquatch is the resident pipe maker I believe most would tell you. As for me, I have tried it and it has become a hobby of mine. There is nothing quite like smoking something you made. Pipe making can be as inexpensive as buying the wood and stem and using the tools at home, or as expensive...
