How Do You Evaluate The Risk?
For me, weight is a big factor in acid reflux. I know my limit, and take steps to loose weight when I start to get close (235ish). Goes away once I loose some. Just walking can help, any kind of regular exercise is good, especially lunting (smoking while walking) 😀 I hope you are able to...- Pipercat

Drying Tobacco
Working that out myself. Keep trying to remind myself to start a journal. Currently smoking SPC Rum Vannila and definitely a difference between dry and striat out of the tin. Dry has more of a vanilla, wet I am definitely tasting the rum. Gotta be very gentle and sip it wet, but this one is...- Pipercat

Praise for Vauen Customer Service
Do you have the address you used? I am wondering if I just used a dead one. Tried writing to then about a cracked mortise in a new pipe, and never got a response. Hoping I just didn't have an up to date email address.- Pipercat

Buying pipes overseas into US
Thanks. Sorry, one of the issues with this type of communication is no tone/inflection. Not ranting, just trying to make sense of a strange and concerning situation, and possibly help others out who may run into this briar patch. As far as the letter, it is a matter of keeping my anonymity as...- Pipercat

Buying pipes overseas into US
There was zero communication. No apologies. All they would discuss with me when I was able to get a hold of someone, is it has been intercepted by the Postal Inspector. They were playing a game of cloak and dagger with me. I only know of the declaration from the other two boxes. The last one...- Pipercat

Buying pipes overseas into US
Was delivered today, after over two months, a threatening letter from the postal inspector (5 years in prison), and much lost sleep. I will never really know what started this mess but, here are a few take aways: •If you buy a pipe from overseas make sure the seller accurately fills out the...- Pipercat

Brand New, Unsmoked!
Had something similar happen. Bought two pipes off of someone on ebay. One "lightly", the other unsmoked. Nowhere near accurate. I don't know what they smoked in both of them, but it is foul. I could smell it before I even unwrapped them, and they are not old. Surprised they made it to me...- Pipercat

What Kind of Pipes do you Like and Why?
Vauen and Savinelli are my two favorites. Vauen is what I have the most of ny far. I have been able to obtain most of what I like, so slowing down as far as collecting. I am attracted to unusual, but attractive shapes, nothing too wierd. No two are alike. When Vauen comes out with a new...- Pipercat

Finally a Nic Hit
I don't know how you were able to do that. One flake of Veermeister did me in today (they are fairly large). Was not pleasant at all. Probably a combo of that and heat exhausted. Wife said my face was pale white, and I was really feeling sick. I only told her it was the heat, lol. I also...- Pipercat

Buying pipes overseas into US
Briar and bamboo, poker style, hard rubber (Vulcanite) bit, nothing exotic, no ivory ect... It is custom/collectable, otherwise I wouldn't be too worried about it. I talked to a coworker tonight, that used to work for USPS, and he said that it was probably just someone who didn't know any...- Pipercat
