Drew, it is my understanding that good bourbon makes an excellent solvent for rinsing accumulated poisons out of your system.

My dad smoked enough to turn our car headliner a sticky orange and everything around him ended up smelling like a dirty ashtray. Nonetheless I have nothing against people smoking, just don't include me. Don't smoke in my house, don't smoke in my car, don't smoke at the table next to me in the restaurant when I'm trying to enjoy my meal. However, if you want to smoke where I'm not having your habit forced on me via air currents go ahead and knock yourself out because if you think so little of yourself that you'll continue doing something harmful it's your right. Just don't include me. I don't think that's asking too much.

BTW my father-in-law smoked all his life and used to laugh and say "as long as smoking takes days off the end of my life I'm okay with it!" Van lived to be 85, however for the last ten years of his life he dragged an oxygen bottle with him wherever he went because of the asthma he had, brought on by a lifetime of smoking. You smokers want that end for yourselves, it's up to you, go ahead smoke, knock yourselves out because I don't care, just don't include me.

an now we got dis dumb tread bout pipe smokin...

cum on boys! buck up!

an keet: hit serves us no good purpose for you to post your racist poster here, cept to remind us how mean and rude some are here.

Good God Ed - racist poster, and how mean and rude some are ? Give me a break. A lot of old posters had black people in them and nothing racist was meant of them when they were made. It's just now some find something wrong with them. The only thing wrong was no one had a match to light their pipe.

I overdid it for a while, now I'm selling most of it and buying doubles...I was involved with a local pipe club, actually ran it for a few years. We had a life insurance salesman in the club, he told us actuarial tables showed pipe smokers living longer than non-smokers. We suspect it had to do with relieving stress.

Yikes! You could open a pipe shop.

I've sold off about 1/2 the pipes I had, I'm hoarding pipe tobacco like ammo, eventually it will be prohibitively expensive. The old stuff, still in a sealed tin, brings some nice money.

There's a Nitro Special in the middle of that first photo....

You're pretty particular about the "charge weights", eh?

SRH

Used it to weigh out charges for a pipe smoking contest we held, 2.5 grams...
