I have one prince that is a Peterson second from about 1945 (per my best guess and research). It is a very small pipe, and can smoke a bit hot because of it. I believe that has more to do with the pipe generally being so small that all aspects - to include wall thickness - are reduced, than it...

In an effort to not further label myself a disturber of the peace here, an on-topic post! 2010 McClleland Holiday Spirit in a Kaywoodie Regent I acquired from Marty Pulvers some years ago.

I'll be regretting my decision in a little bit when I try to get a workout with a bunch of fried food in my belly, but I sure enjoyed it in the moment!

I'm fortunate to have a local chips shop nearby. Being on the coast, we have a lot of places that offer fancier fish options, but we're lucky to have this place that actually offers classic British style pub food.

I've been waiting for them to show up online. I'm also holding out until payday haha. I'm eyeballing the 127 because most of my pipes are already straight. Otherwise I would go 120, 264, or 268. Based on my usual preferences.

Fried, not smoked, but this slightly off topic post is for Zippo. Can’t have fish and chips without a Guinness!

Now that is both a tragedy and a great idea for dinner, as my gal is out of town. Fish and chips with brown sauce seems like an appropriate choice for Hobbit day!

I preferred the okonomiyaki when I was there, but I’m not much for octopus. That should be a fun trip for them! Are they visiting the ghibli museum? Definitely worth a look if that’s the type of stuff they’re into. I also remember the temples of Kamakura being a highlight but it’s been over a...

I’ll add a candid shot of Ranger that he’s surely unaware I’m in possession of… I see you’ve since trimmed the mustache a little 😂

Interesting point. I’ve had laphroaig a few times, and while I like the smoke, there’s something that I’ve always identified as almost medicinal that I don’t love about it. I wonder if that’s the briny note you mention. I’d be curious to try it again with that in mind. Because of that note...

I’m going to have to try the whiskey in porridge. My gal likes that in the mornings but it’s always tasted like bland mush to me. But whiskey flavored bland mush I may be able to get behind!

I had a similar experience last week in Olympia. Had to pay for each of my two dogs. When I checked in, the gal asked if they were service dogs and I said no, because they’re not. She proceeded to tell me I “messed up” because she can’t ask me to prove it and now she has to charge me extra but...

I’m fortunate that my local Costco stocks lagavulin. I also have a bottle on my desk at work that I was gifted. I’m saving it for the day I quit 😂 Edit: oops, I thought I quoted Idlefellow. I’m not great at this forum format.

I remember paying about that for a tin in 2010. In hindsight, I wish I’d bought every tin they had!

Welcome! You’ll find you’ll likely get more recommendations than you’d like from this bunch 😂

Typically black and strong enough to show up on a drug screen. Occasionally with a little baileys added in on the weekends. I spent a few years after high school managing a coffee shop, and picked up a small home espresso machine a few years ago. Most days I don’t have time before work to make...

Bourbon most frequently, but a peaty scotch is my favorite. Has to be peaty, I don’t care for a sweet malty scotch. I really enjoy my Irish, with Redbreast Lustau being preference if I can find (and afford) it. I do most of my sipping, and puffing, in the cooler months, so I’m looking forward...

Beautiful pipes all around, boys! I always thought it would be fitting to get one of the Sherlock Holmes pipes, though my bucket list Pete will likely forever be the Great Explorers Tom Crean pipe. Thus far my favorite I’ve acquired was last years Christmas pipe with the copper accent. Wish I’d...

Grew up fishing for trout in creeks using night crawlers or powerbait. I’ve wanted to learn to fly fish for years, maybe one of these days things will slow down enough for me to get to! I will admit I’ve also had moderate success fishing invasive carp with a bow. Not the nicest way for the...

He’s got a few things I really enjoy! His cowboy chutney is sort of a spicy relish, and he has a powdered dip mix that you mix with sour cream and a little bit of mayonnaise. Makes a great replacement for boring old mayo on sandwiches. Definitely envious of your friend, from what I hear the...
