Hey pipe smokin brethren. I don't really know anything about pipes, pipe tobacco, or anything like that really, but I thought this looked kinda cool. What do you guys think? If nothing else, seems like a cool addition to the mancave incase you want to have the fellas over for a pipe instead of a cigar.
Pipe Rack
Also, my buddy in my hometown owns his own cigar lounge and a few years ago he added hookahs and his business skyrocketed. When I saw this pipe rack I thought to myself, why don't tobacco stores/lounges that sell pipe tobacco and pipes have pipes that one can use if they just wanted to sit and smoke a pipe without buying all the tobacco and accessories? I mean, if I've never smoked a pipe before, I certainly don't want to go and buy all this stuff and not like it. We all smoked a cigar before we went and bought a humidor. Charge the fella $5-10, something like that, something comparable to cigar prices. The way I see it, one could simply detach the plastic mouth piece and wash it after each use. It'd really be no different than eating at a restaurant and drinking out of the glass that a thousand others have drank out of, but they did take the time to wash it with soap and really hot water between uses. Am I crazy? Am I missing something? Does this actually sound like a good idea???

I do indeed, and investors, and a good engineer to help get the place to code, and a never ending supply of money... but you know where I live. Utah... Where such a place can only be a dream inside this state. Wouldn't it be great though. A place with a little something for everybody and anybody.
Oh and a wi fi corner and we need to steal a starbucks hottie to serve coffee with a smile...
Nothing about what you just said sounded stupid whatsoever, it was all very true and very good points. Like a tattoo artists' work station, watching them break open the hermetically sealed equipment is very comforting. And the packing a pipe correctly, I've been smoking my pipe for over a year now, and the troubles I've gone through by not packing it correctly... aggghhh. Having a friendly fella or gal who can pack a good pipe for you and show you how to light it, AND you get to see it all first hand... this is sounding more and more like heaven. Who would ever want to leave?
I want to say I've seen a "T"box place near my work that sells replacement mouth pieces for pipes.
Tobacconists' and GARistas. That's fun to say.
Phil, if you weren't so damn far away I would be sitting on your porch right now with my thermos of coffee in my hand waiting for you to get home or wake up so we could talk business. I wouldn't even care if I had to be the janitor, I just want to be able to say that I get paid to work with what I love the most... next to my boy of course, which I don't get paid for.
