Kaywoodie Stinger Question...
I have an old Kaywoodie that I really enjoy. It has the stinger as shown. My question is: What is the purpose of the round ball on the end? It has 4 holes in it (you can only see two in the picture, but two more are on the underside). The ball is hollow and the 4 holes all interconnect... -
Cool "Old Briar Tobacco" Ad/Poster...
I was in an antique shop in North/Central Kansas a few days back and saw this cool old tobacco add. Apologies for the bad picture - the poster was hung in a window with bright light coming in from behind. It had seen better days and was a bit tattered, but a neat piece regardless.- Keitha

Tongue-Bite Remedy/Prevention...
I was getting some moderate tongue-bite just about every time I smoked. I have been working on technique and slowing down the pace (no drastic changes), but at the same time I switched to Arm & Hammer toothpaste. After about a week of using this toothpaste, the tongue-bite has all but...- Keitha

Old German Clay Pipe...
I just received my first Clay pipe - a Markus Fohr Old German Clay. I had an order in on Smoking Pipes and forgot I even included this - great surprise when I opened the box. I had to try it out right away. Before I even packed it, I noticed my lips stuck to the dry clay. My solution was to... -
Tobacco is Like...
So my wife asked me why I need so many different types of tobacco. I replied: - Tobacco is like sexual positions. Sure one will do quite nicely, but isn't it fun to mix it up? Got me thinking of this thread. - Tobacco is like a box of crayons. I can draw a picture with a pencil, but it can...- Keitha

Proper 80/Luxury 80...
A local tobacconist has a mixture they call "Proper 80". Their recipe is 9oz Mixture 79, 9oz Lane 1-Q, and 1oz Stokkebe Proper English. You can see how they came up with the name 79+1=80... I had the Mixture 79 and the 1-Q, but only English Luxury, so tried my hand at a similar mixture. My...- Keitha
