    You can go to any doctor without insurance, just pay what they want. If you hit my truck, I want you to pay for fixing it. Now, on this one, you have a point.

    When Forced to Choose Only 4...

    I could get by with only WCC Rhythm and Blues, but if I had room for three others; WCC Rouxgaroux WCC Simply Voriental WCC Blue Ridge Special

    Filter Or No Filter?

    I have filtered pipes, non-filtered pipes, and Peterson system pipes. They all smoke with the same flavor if using a good tobacco. The filtered ones smoke a little drier, and the System pipes smoke the driest, just better moisture management.

    Best "Bulk" Navy Flake/Straight VA Flake

    I did a nose test, using my very unlearned nose, of several W.C. Va. blends. 558 smells much like the others. 558 is the only one of theirs that I stove first to bring out a deeper flavor. I ranch and raise cattle for a living, so I'm probably partial to that "fertilizer" smell ;) .

    Benefit Of Forgetting.

    I went to check something and forgot what I was doing. So I retraced my steps and got distracted. Now, I have to pee.

    Where Do You Usually Smoke?

    I do most of my smoking outdoors, for me, it simply goes with my enjoyment of the woods and fields. If it's rainy or cold, then in my gunshop or ranch shop.

    Pipes With Bamboo Shanks?

    While true for some epoxies, there are a few that I have used over many years that have a long shelf life both before and after opening. It depends on the properties of the epoxy, and how it is designed. I agree about the short shelf life of the cyanoacrylates, at least the ones I've been...

    Thanksgiving Piping

    We usually have our Thanksgiving get-together at the barn on a lake on our land. But, this year it was going to rain, so we had it at the ranch shop. After the meal, I loaded my 9s Peterson with Rhythm and Blues, and my son and my brother lit up some really nice cigars.

    "Outdoor" pipe storage?

    Keep in mind that people smoked briar pipes back when houses didn't have heat after the fireplace went out and ice formed in the chamber pots well before morning. Men and women still lit up in the cold. When growing up in the late 50's and early 60's most of my kin didn't have electricity, they...
