    The best thing I ever came across was 'Tit Coin' that was created for the purpose of looking at porno websites! I didn't stop laughing about that one for a day or so.

    Do you think there would be a market for a 'Cutty Coin' as a decentralized pipe?

    Tried the Spherical Pipe Screens

    I use them courtesy of my friend @simong but they have to be bashed around a bit to fit into the off sized bowls in some of my meerschaums!

    Nathan "CrashTheGrey" Davis on Radio Show of May 7, 2024

    @crashthegrey: Good luck with that chum - I know you will make a huge success out it. Enjoy running a business and meeting a lot of armchair experts. Just remember it is your vision to execute and not the foibles of the masses. The British motorcycle industry only recovered when someone who...

    Folding And Stuffing Flakes

    @crashthegrey: Yep that about summarizes the issue. Gawith flakes are just not recommended for use in the learning curve of 'Stuff and Fold' for the pipe due to the high moisture content.

    A Visit To America’s Oldest Pipe Tobacco Company

    Amazing! It is on my bucket list.

    Folding And Stuffing Flakes

    @sablebrush52 @simong : And in next weeks riveting episode of 'Sh*t that I stick in my pipe' we will explore the extreme nuances of slicing up plugs and twists. Should it be slithers, should it be coins, should I dry with the wife's hair dryer. In the final analysis as @simong says it's all...

    Folding And Stuffing Flakes

    Gawith products are usual quite moist. I find if you rub them out or do the prepping before you put the stuff in your tobacco pouch all is well since your body heat does the rest. YMMV :col:

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***

    Finished my coffee break so it is back to the grind stone! Bowl of Bosun's Plug in this fun meerschaum 'cutty' pipe of indeterminate age made by Lecume in Paris.

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***

    Morning! Drinking Espresso and listening to the morning bird song whilst I cut up some Bosun's plug and clean a few pipes.

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***

    Last smoke of the day. A bowl of Eicken Virginia in a meerschaum 'cutty' pipe. I have to say the Virginia tobacco is still pretty good after 45+ years in a tin. I don't think I could smoke this all day since it tastes of stewed fruit or some sort of weird jam that my sainted late Mother used to...

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***

    @Pappy Coon: Thank you Sir. They do seem to garner a few compliments. The trouble is they all look the same and after a while there is not a whole lot you can add other than it is a 'Meerschaum Cutty' from 18__ something or other with an amber stem. After collecting them for so many years I try...

    @woodsroad : Your confusing that with PLO Plug - Smells like Goat Shit - Buy Some!!

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***

    Have you ever wondered what happens to pipe if it goes through the washing machine? I think this one might have shrunk a little. Seriously I have a group of smaller 'cutty' pipes again from the very late 19th century through to the teens of the 20th century. Why they were made I have no idea...

    Another day. Another dollar! Mulling over my pipe choice for the day!

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***

    Last bowl of the day! Dreaded ancient Brown Twist in a short meerschaum 'cutty' pipe with faux amber stem I think. I am heading to bed after this and I will see you all bright and early tomorrow morning if the big fella upstairs says it is to be so. Bonus points to anyone who has ever noticed...

    Story Behind the Names of Pipe Shapes?

    Ah yes the Zulu! As endorsed by Michael Caine.

    Story Behind the Names of Pipe Shapes?

    @woodsroad: Never a truer word spoken. How do you explain the 'Nimrod Lighter'? In the U.K Nimrod is a word to describe a 'Differently Abled' person or someone who might be 'Mentally Challenged'. I have often had visions of some Mad Men marketing department trying to come up with a name for a...
