Anyone have any experience with a kiseru?
No problem at all. The search function here isn't all that spectacular. For future reference: When you perform a forum search, near the bottom of the search results page you will find a line that states "You may also try your search at Google". Click that link. Alternately you can start with...- bytor

Sorry to see you go Maurizio. I have always enjoyed the honesty and openness in your posts, as well as the pictures of the beautiful pipes you carve. Best of luck to you!- bytor

Smoking a Pipe: Hobby or Life Choice
I've been trying to re-establish what pipe smoking is to me... In early October, after 16+ years, I finally quit the cigs (cold turkey)! I decided that I didn't want to trade one form of nicotine for another...so I didn't use any other nicotine delivery method (gum, patch, or pipes). After 6-7...- bytor

Plum Pudding
Thanks Philip. Guess I'll have to try and stop in Tacoma next time I'm on my way down to Portland. Can't justify driving the 60+ miles down to Tacoma just for some tobacco.- bytor

Small Pipes
Mostly smaller pipes here as well. I have a few large-ish pipe but I almost never smoke them. Two main reasons: 1) I tend to be a clencher. 2) I don't really want to spend 1.5-2 hours on one smoke. Maurizio is right about it being more difficult to find small pipes. I have passed on many... -

@Philip: Where around the Puget Sound area have you been able to any of the SPC blends? I've been wanting to try them, but have been unsuccessful in locating them.- bytor

Do any pipe types/brands smoke cooler than others?
It is illegal in Washington state to ship tobacco (with the exception of large cigars) to anyone in Washington state who is not a licensed wholesaler or retailer. Shipping of pipes themselves is not illegal. I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear that USPS is giving them grief...even if they...- bytor

Bulldog or Rhodesian?
I can definitely see your point regarding the shape of the bowls...seems to be the determining factor in many pipes. On the other hand, the differences between a canadian, lovat, lumberman and liverpool are defined not just by the shape of the shank, but also the stem (taper vs. saddle). As for...- bytor

Bulldog or Rhodesian?
I think most will agree that the bulldog/rhodesian group is defined by the shape of the bowl...typically with at least one ring groove near the flare of the bowl (most commonly with two grooves). The shape of the stem is used as the secondary classifier: IMO round = rhodesian; diamond =...- bytor

Colorado tax.
Look on the bright side: it could be a lot worse. 8O Washington state has 95% non-cigarette tax (pipe tobacco/cigars), $3.00/pack on cigarettes, and it is illegal (class C felony :!: ) to have tobacco shipped to you. Most online vendors will not ship to WA. I'm sure that there are many...- bytor
