Just finished my first bowl of Old Tobey (now tombigee) in a Nording Compass. Pretty good for an aromatic, and I’m told the room note is pleasant. Looking forward to trying the Cowboy Coffee and Shepherds Pie that I picked up at the same time.

A bowl of MM Country Gentleman to help break in a new Pete donegal rocky. Already had my coffee, so now it’s Irish breakfast tea. Dog has a vet appointment this morning, so I’m taking the morning off and heading in to work after.

I've actually never had anything from them, but quite a few of their blends sound quite good. I placed an order a couple days ago, which should reach me on Saturday. Trying Tombigee (I'll still be referring to it as Old Tobey), Shepherd's Pie, and Cowboy Coffee. As I've never had any of these...

They ran into licensing issues and had to change the names. I reached out to them a couple weeks ago and was told: Old Tobey -> Tombigbee Second Breakfast -> Picayune Pancake Rivendell -> Riverboat Queen Bag End -> Pilgrim's Muse Green Dragon -> George's Dragon Kingsfoil -> King's Highway...

Mid-afternoon EMP in a 2022 Christmas Pete. Today has been a truck maintenance and chores kind of day.

We had this problem last year. Our house is over 100 years old, and built without a solid foundation. Winter was particularly wet, and mice got into the hutch that we use for spare towels/bedding, and my precious tobacco. Turns out bagged tobacco makes desirable mouse bedding. I had to throw...

"Tobacco raid attempt #23: The opossum costume was a success, and I was able to get through the window without getting the tail stuck like the earlier iterations. Unfortunately, I cut the eye holes too small, and while trying to collect the stash, knocked it over on accident. Despite my size...

I just finished reading The Endurance, I’ll have to look this up. We’re currently rewatching Sherlock, having just finished the entirety of The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, and Rings of Power catalog.

I just had to replace the battery on MY road king. About the same price. I asked about the warranty since the old battery wasn't that old, and was told the motorcycle battery warranty is only 6 months at O'Reillys. They were shocked mine lasted a year (almost to the day). My pickup takes 2...

No work today, so spent the morning with coffee and a scone from a local bakery. Smoking a bowl or whatever was in the bag in my pipe pouch (something lightly sweet and English, might be Eastfarthing) in a Peterson Zulu at the park.

How bizarre, I've never even seen that before. Nor have I heard of this cosmic apple, but now I want to try one. Honey crisp is my go-to. Who would have guessed there were so many apple enthusiasts about!

Apologies, thought that was just for sales. Let's say preferably near the $100 mark for copper spigots or a Boswell, up to $200 for a Crean - assuming decent condition, hopefully less than $1 per gram for Christmas Cheer? If I'm off the mark, let me know. Fair market value can be tough to...

Might be a long shot, but a gentleman in Scotland once told me, "You'll get nothing by being timid," and I know if it will happen, this is the place. 1. Peterson Great Explorers Tom Crean pipe. Is it nothing more than a Pete 120? Probably. But it's also my unicorn pipe that I don't imagine I'll...

I'll be honest, I had never looked at the cost to upgrade membership. $20 for a year of shenanigans? I've wasted more on less... this week... if not today alone...

I realized it was actually the 127 I was eyeing, not the 128. Unfortunately, the one I was looking at (at the Country Squire) has already sold. There doesn't seem to be any real shortage of them currently, however. I was just hoping to try some of their Lord of the Rings blends while at it...

I'm eyeing the 128. I haven't pulled the trigger yet, but let's be honest, it's really just a matter of time...

Welcome!

That line got me 🤣

Thank you, unfortunately it does, and it tends to smoke a little wet for it. I will say, I enjoy smoking it more than most with stingers, though I would generally prefer my pipes not have them. I'm unfamiliar with them, but looking online it looks like they still have a few around. Mostly in...

I've been the same way for many years. I have generally preferred straight pipes. Now as I look at my pipes, I can't help but feel that a few nice bent shapes might be more comfortable for clenching, and may help to better round out my collection. That may have been Savinelli, last year's Petes...
