    Any Home Recipes?

    Hello Pipers I have an infinity bag of left overs and was thinking of trying something at home. Initial thought is letting an ounce hydrate up a dram of my favorite whiskey. Does sweet things like molassis or honey hydrate well? Any good recipes out there?

    FS: Tobacco Sampler Kit (3 Remaining) (03/13/24)

    I had 6 kits but sold 3 already. These are going fast. Each has 90 blends with 7-8 grams per blend. Each blend provides 2-3 bowls in medium pipe depending on weight and cut of tobacco. Price is $110 but includes shipping in U.S. It would cost you over $1000.00 to acquire these yourself...

    My Lent Regret

    Thanks for all the fun comments. I love peanut butter and offered that up but she said that was not good enough. Next year I will tell her this decision is between myself and the Lord.

    My Lent Regret

    I know we should gladly sacrifice for lent and my wife convinced me to give up french fries and soft drinks. Unfortunately because she was doing the same plus she was giving up sweets she pressed me to give up something else. She dictated 3 choices. Sweets, Whiskey, or Pipe. This was...

    Winter Weather Challenge

    Fellow pipers here in Houston it’s 28 degrees, cloudy, and windy and while I could suit up in winter clothing for a smoke I just don’t care for the cold. If it were sunshine and no wind I would but not today. I am sure I am a wimp compared to all of you in North US, Canada, Scandinavia...
