    Relentless

    Surprised by Pelikan M205

    Thread Starter: Relentless

    Kicking the year off, SWMBO picks up an M600, and puts a seal of approval on my growing collection. It's a wonderful pen and I'd recommend it to anyone, but I don't like taking it to the office or stuffing it in my pocket when I run out the door. It will get lost, stolen, or broken. Enter the...

    Is this ok?

    Thread Starter: luvmysuper

    F*ck $hit A$$ Anyone here not know what the above means? I know I can't write the "F" word here, so is it ok for me to post a picture of that word in text on a sign or label? Since I can't write the "F" word, can I just post a picture of two people copulating? I know we've talked about...

    Higher-end suit discounts?

    Thread Starter: Corsair66

    The subject line says it all. I'm looking to add a higher-end OTR suit (I've got my eye on a new Kiton), but retail pricing doesn't represent any sort of practical reality. Not so much from the absolute cost perspective, but with respect to perceived value, at least for me. So, can anyone...

    Tabac - Smells Like a Thrift Store or Mothballs & Roses?

    Thread Starter: Seattle

    Stopped by the Perfumania where they had Tabac Original for 50% off. Got a sample on my wrist, and 4 hours later I can't remove the smell. Looking for my can of Xylene to neutralize this stuff. To each his own, but to me, it smells like grandma's stale closet full of mothballs and expired rose...

    Where Do You Find Your Brushes For Restorations?

    Thread Starter: AndroiDad75

    Everyone, I am interested in doing a few restorations. I got a pretty nice ever-ready 200T in an Old Spice mug, but haven't found much around my area for older style brushes. Unless I want to get ones that are all cracked and crumbling, and then the antique store is still asking for $15 - $20...

    A Compromise.on Aromatics

    Thread Starter: Texican

    So after my wife being against my Englishes/Balkans, and then having her friend's children ransack my pipe collection that I was going to sell, she has taken pity on her husband and has told him that if he would like to smoke in the house, he can. But this pipe of peace (huh, get it?) comes at a...
