    Dogs & Pipes

    I haven't been in this thread for a while. Our boy Riggs went to heaven last September where I am sure he's eatting a truckload of cheese a day. He was 14 and 1/2 which is a good age for a GSD. A few months ago, my wife got the itch to get another dog so we did. But GSD's shed too much...

    Gawith and Hoggart Kendal Black Cherry

    Oh please, tell me your grandma never put a pair of her panties over your head and taped it there during two hour long time out in the closet like mine did when she wanted to enjoy her Lucky Strikes & Tom Collins in peace. Then when the time out was over it was back up the inside of the...

    My Backyard Pipe Shed - “The Smokehouse”

    I think the only way I could be more jealous is if it came with Kate Bechinsale inside serving me mocha. That is absolutely awesome!

    Do You have a Pipe You can’t Bring Yourself to Smoke?

    Nope, I smoke them all. Some don't leave the house but a smoked pipe is, to me, generally even more beautiful than an unsmoked one. You have one memory with that pipe, and its a great memory, but you could have many more.

    Throat, Mouth, Nasal Care for Pipe Smokers

    One of the most important aspects is proper finger nail maintenance. Let's face it, smoking causes boogers and you need to have properly trimmed nails to really get in there and dig deep without cutting the inner membrane. Since I came in 3rd in the Illinois Deep Dig Nose Picking...

    Sometimes Only A Churchwarden Will Do

    So true. Like when you are working and you get that one spot on your back that itches and you can't find your rule. That's when a churchwarden really proves it's utility.

    Preparing a Lot of Rope

    Is he talking about boating? Being a hangman? Repelling? It's just so hard to picture it without pictures.

    In Defence of WAYS

    That's so unfair. Jim has never child molested, been meth addicted or abused a puppy. I can't even agree with psychopathic. Sure, every now and again he flips out and kills a crack addled hooker but then, which one of us hasn't? In the long run, we're helping the legal and medical systems...

    Pipes Too Big?

    Nope, Embers could clench that baby

    Pipes Too Big?

    Too big a pipe? No such thing. Have you seen pictures of Embers smoking big pipes? They are bigger than he is proving there is no such thing as too big a pipe.

    Your Favorite Exorcist Blends

    See if you can find yourself some Gawith & Hoggarth Grasmere Flake. The description on TR is "A blend of the finest Virginias & burleys. This medium flake has an overall top-note flavor of English rose and geranium." but keep in mind that is just for the press. In reality its made of...

    Who is the Greatest Living Artisan Pipe Maker?

    Michael Parks. He's supposed to be a really nice guy but I hate him. He makes cool stuff I can't afford. Oh sure, I could try harder and make more money but in this time of people wanting special unwarranted treatment for no good reason, that doesn't seem fair for him to do that to me just...

    Show Me Your CRKT [Knives, Hatchets, etc.]

    I had one of these in my desk while my daughter was growing up. She knew it was there and what it was for. It even had a name - The Circumciser. She beautiful but doesn't date much. I might have damaged her threatening to circumcise any guy who came near her.

    Do I Need a Churchwarden?

    I "needed" a churchwarden at one time. It only took one smoke to learn I didn't need it all. There was no upside to having an overly long stem.

    Shape Name for a Reverse-canted Bowl?

    the official name is called "That's just wrong"

    Pipe Polishing: Needed?

    I'm a buff-a-holic and have a buffer with multiple wheels. That being said, the simplest way to keep your pipes shiny is to get yourself a can of Favor furniture polish and a new rag. Hose down both sides of the rag and let it dry for a few days. Use that to wipe down your pipe and restore...

    Broken Pipes - Rich Lewis has passed

    He was a terrific repair person. So sad to lose one of the few greats left.

    Smokin' With my Wife ...

    My wife will only be by me when I am smoking if she is wearing this.
