A Better Pipe Smoking Community

04/10/09 - Highstump - For the small sum of just $5 a month you could sponsor an orphaned pipe. Thats right! send me a measly $5.00 a month and you will get a photo of the pipe you are sponsoring. You will also get regular updates on what your sponsored pipe is being fed and how its training is progressing. Your contribution could make all the difference to a lonely neglected pipe. Don't you have just $5.00 to spare one of these pipes? It could mean the difference between a life of Capt. Black or a life of Penzance. We guarentee 80% of every dollar goes to the maintanance and well being of your sponsored pipe. Won't you help a pipe today? (fighting back the tears...sniff, sniff)

Open a cold Natural Light and enjoy. Sometimes less is more and getting back to basics is a sure fire way to stave off these sorts of existential funks."

10/17/08 - 1OLDGI - " In pipe smoking, as in life, sometimes overthinking things and putting too much pressure on yourself can just spoil something that would otherwise be magic."

10/15/08 - ckr - "The Nose Knows, In nose I trust." (in reference to Rick Piatt's olfactory talent in being able to sniff out tobacco blends)
