Questions You Thought Were Too Dumb to Ask (Pipes Edition)

[Mister Moo]

I'll take on the other two...

I imagine Black Mountain/Balkan Sobranie doesn't do it for you for the same reason Joyce's Ulysses doesn't do it for me. It doesn't matter how good the blender(author) is, or how much people rave about something, there is a subversive side of my unconscious that refuses to go along with what all arrows point to as being a good thing.

D'oh, I really like Russ and respect his efforts. The jury that judged Black Mountain gave it top marks. I still don't know what's wrog with me. Maybe I have too many dirty pipes.

As for the reviews...I will never trust anything that comes from someone who assigns themselves a moniker including the word "stud"

I go with that. Thank you - I am down to 33% unexplained wrongness.

What about a pegboard and a bunch of screwdriver racks.
I saw that either here or on a former Kaput O'media site recently.
Looked like a good ULB* solution.

Thanks for reminding me of that; I remember seeing that on Puff.

That was my thread. I will repost it as I still have the content.

Storage confusion. Correct me if I am wrong please.

Jars are good to go for long term storage
Tins are fine for short term storage if opened (couple/few weeks)
Un-Opened tins are fine for longer term storage but should be placed into jars if it starts to swell?
Cans of tobacco such as Christmas Cheer are fine long term un-opened? (Sealed with Un tampered foil and plastic lid)

Stingers: What is the proper orientation? Does it matter? Hole up or down?

I agree with Mark in that I hack them off and throw them away, but... I would imagine down would allow the moisture to stay in the shank and heel of the bowl as opposed to being caught inside the stem and flowing like a glorious river of ughhh into your mouth. No real idea- just taking a stab at it.

The proper orientation is out of the pipe. Stay tuned for a serious answer, though...

Haha! That's what I kind of thought, Just remove altogether.
