    HEY EVERYBODY!!!

    *Hi doctor Nick* I hope y'all are doing well. I havent been on the forums in a hot minute, let alone years. Last I updated I got out of the army and moved to Denver in 2011. I now live in Providence Rhode Island and life has been...interesting to say the least. After dealing with a lot...

    Another update

    Hey there old friends as well as new, I'm back again. Last time I updated, I recently moved to Denver. It's been a bit over a year now of being here, and I cannot say there is anything I dislike about this area. If you get bored in Colorado it's due to your own laziness. I have a dog, a 120...

    Mustache maintenance?

    Hello friends, I'm back again. So my former military friends and I here in Denver have this thing in the spring called Summer of the Mustache (For America [Part Two]). Essentially, you just stop shaving your upper lip. It's been growing for about a month now, and it's getting long enough that...

    H.P. Lovecraft

    Are there any other H.P. Lovecraft nuts out there? I've collected his works and old first pressings of the Arkham House works for a number of years. I just find it completely fantastic that he was able to develop his own mythos, entire universe and have the propensity to claim that all other...

    Any BoB's in Colorado?

    I've been here for a little bit, but I've ran into no one who shares my sentiments for the briar. I've still got a hefty stash of Nightcap if there's anyone out there who would like to meet up. I just looked up on the UPCA, but haven't found any Colorado pipe clubs, and having marijuana be...

    Hello there old friends!

    Another update. My days of serving in uniform are now concluded. I'm settled down a little ways outside of Denver Colorado which I chose to be my new and hopefully permanent home. Since I last posted I haven't enjoyed my pipes as often as I'd like; nevertheless, fall is upon us and with...

    Another Update

    I do apologize that I've been so touch and go with the forums... Work has had me more than constricted. Latest happening is that we got put on alert for deployment to Afghanistan this upcoming summer. Kinda short suspense, but the nation's needs come before my own. I'm really honestly going...

    I'm back!

    I do greatly apologize for my absence. Long story short, a whole lot of unexpected world events required my presence throughout various parts of the world, followed by some medical ongoings, namely a tonsilectomy, followed by some mishaps thanks to the socialized healthcare program which is...

    The lady started taking to the briar. :O

    First off, I apologize for leaving everyone again with no notice. After we got back to Lewis, we were cut loose for Exodus leave as we conveniently came back from overseas right before Christmas. Lo and behold, my two weeks off were highly appreciated and thoroughly savored. The lady and I...

    Back on US soil!

    Well, sorry for being gone for so long everyone, I've been in the ratrace of international flights and how hard the military likes to make these procedures, as fellow veterans know all too well. Here's some pictures from the trip, and a couple sweet pipe action shots I took. Holy hell is it...

    Opening tinned tobacco

    I know everyone has their own little rituals opening tobacco tins, especially when it comes to the extremely stubborn ones. What methods do you use? I tend to use the lip of the tamp on a pipe tool to break the vaccum.

    Pipe Smokers Intelligencer, Contest #3

    http://pipesmokersintelligencer.org/journal/?p=581 Evidently there was a contest they had which was given an extension submission date, I didn't see any threads about it and figured this is a matter which should be brought to light here. The prizes are 8 oz. of Cornell and Diehl, your choice...

    Snuff vs dip

    My mother used to use Copenhagen Snuff, the silver can. I know most people use it like they would dip, as my mom did... I had a chew stint, I could manage Levi Garret and the like, and I nearly died trying Copenhagen long cut (go ahead and laugh...) I was actually here in Iraq. I knew my...
