    Actor Glenn Ford

    "Blackboard Jungle" is in my backlog of purchased but unwatched DVSs. I bought it to an example of Vic Morrow's acting talent, beyond the "Combat" TV series. I'll have to watch that one next. Steve

    Love the Ardor Meteora. I can imagine smoking that while listening to "Pictures at an Exhibition", because that's what it reminds me of. Steve

    Some potential for confiscation at the airport, I would venture. Steve

    Fooling a Digger Wasp

    One way that I know my brain is bigger and more sophisticated than the wasp's, is that I remember where I have lost things in the past...so...when I've lost my eye glasses for instance, I check all those places; ie. the freezer compartment of my refrigerator, behind the TV set, in my clothes...

    dark-fired tobacco and latakia

    fumo bro, what is the avatar? BTY, I smoke Mac Baren's HH Vintage Syrian a lot, but mostly blended with about 2/3 of various other tobaccos. I like the flavor of 100% HH Vintage Syrian, but it tends to present more tongue bite than can tolerate, thus the blending. Its definitely worth buying...

    My only Savinelli…

    Nice looking pipe. I recently sold a Punto Oro on Ebay, a smooth Dublin having that same type of shank and stem, in similar smoked condition. It went for $43. Steve

    Former-Eltang and Bently-Former's Design pipes

    This week at my local tobacconist's store I was introduced to the Former-Eltang line of pipes, which they had just begun stocking. This comes on the heels of a recent Hans Nielsen visit to the store. They reminded me a lot of the Bently-Former's Design pipes also stocked in the same store, and...

    Charatan Dublin

    I'm no expert on the brand (own a Special and a Supreme), but I think $440 for that pipe isn't much of a "win". More like total lunacy I say. Come to think of it, there was a full moon on July 15 when the buyer would have been watching that pipe. Steve

    A new Viprati . . .

    Beautiful pipe. Looks a bit heavy for my taste, but I have two Vipratis and love them both. Steve

    Does anyone recognize the venue? Some kind of a time trial? Hill climb? Steve

    Increasing pipe size

    All I know is that if you buff it, the wood will warm up and it will get bigger. Steve

    Some organizational charts

    . I've only worked for two corporations, but a few of the charts shown at this link ring true for me. http://www.businessinsider.com/big-tech-org-charts-2011-6 This one is my favorite though. I've been on the second rung from the top, and I believe I caught more of it than what is shown here...

    Noske Billard

    I just visited this pipe maker's web site and I really like everything that is on display. By any chance do you do the pipe photography for the Noske web site? They are exceptional photos. Steve

    Death of a Toyota seat - termites!

    . Several years ago I replaced the fabric driver's seat of my Toyota truck with a Recaro seat. I stored the original seat in a cardboard box in my garage. Yesterday I noticed the bottom of the box looked eaten away. I lifted some cotton rags that were on top of the box and - YIKES!! - there...

    Purging?

    I think I do this a lot just from normal exhalation while clenching my pipes. Smoke always gets blown out the bowl. Every once in a while I say "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers", and that helps. Steve

    BOB Official Cheapskate Thread

    I've washed my hair with dish washing liquid for as long as I can remember. Cheaper than shampoo and works just as well. Steve
