Morta Pipes Experiences?
Davorin Denovic (Coatia) Golden Morta - which the color indicates age from what I understand so its a bit younger of a piece. I also have a Ryan Alden Black Morta with a white stem and a Briarworks Morta pipe. -
Seek Larger Peterson.
Yep, House and Pub pipes are big, but I find there is a lot of gurgle. My go-to on any new pete line is looking for the Darwin B42 shape. -
Is it Really Block Meerschaum?
The truth is there is not a lot of pressed meerschaum out there - it takes a lot to make pressed meerschaum and it was usually linings and calabash bowl inserts. https://pipesmagazine.com/blog/pipe-collecting/meerschaum-the-past-and-present/ -
Show Us Your Dr Bob Pipes
I got my first Dr Bob pipe from @pipestud as a gift. So paying it forward as a gift to one my my Austin pipe club guys (and the guy behind turbotin) for helping me out - I picked up a Dr. Bob pipe for him. He got a hawkbill that I snagged from Dr. Bob at the Vegas Pipe show last year. -
2024 Texas Pipe Show
Hell the kicker is, we met in person at the Kansas Pipe show. But I get it, I'm poor with names myself. I'll meet people, tell them my name is James... and then they find out "oh you're pylorns" and suddenly they know me. Online fun...- pylorns

Slow Server Response
It was definitely slow when I was working on my article but the backend of Wordpress is always slow so I didn't think anything of it - but yeah... does seem slower - could be the amount of traffic on the site - php/mysql can be a drag on resources if a ton of people are hitting it.- pylorns

Tyson vs Paul
Yeah, as long as Tyson can put the scews to Paul early, he can win. If the match goes on, no amount of training is going to outlast the youth and energy that Paul has. But Tyson has pure quick knockout power, always has. I wouldn't want to get hit by him.- pylorns

Watch Out or Watch on? Pt 2.
A new one runs 500-700 depending. I just got mine back from repair after sea water got in it. I love it because I have any strap color under the rainbow to throw on it. But I also love my moon watch..- pylorns
