    My Xmas gift came early

    Good looking pipe. I have 2 Wileys, both great smokers. Will probably add another when I see one that strikes my fancy.

    Not a smoking room, but the closest I have...

    Same here. Wifey doesn't like me smoking indoors so it's either outdoors or in the garage nook if really cold outside. I actually enjoy smoking on the patio. Get to watch the birds and bunnies, the occasional road runner, and very rarely a deer or coyote. Since I haven't had a bowl in over 3...

    The Military Surplus Thread

    They are handy. I had one that I cut a neck hole in, died it in a sort of Mexican pattern and wear it as a pancho. Looks a bit like the one Eastwood wore in Man with no name.

    Hello from PNW

    Probably because horse trainers and dog trainers have a certain compassion for animals. Every horse trainer I know has dogs. To be a good trainer, horse or dog, takes skill, knowledge of animal psyche, and patience. I follow the Buck Brannaman training philosophy. A horse should do what you ask...

    Hello from PNW

    Michael, welcome from Arizona high country. Appreciate dog trainers almost as much as horse trainers. Lol. I have a friend who's wife trains Belgium Tervurins for cadaver dogs. Extremely smart dogs. Glad to have you with us. I'm not a trainer but I have taught our dogs to be lap dogs, lol.

    All this math is making my head hurt, I think we should just accept the fact that we are, for the most part, a bunch of old farts with a couple of kids along for the ride. No offense to anyone, young or old.

    What Beard size are you?

    My beard grows in patchy and uneven. Plus wife doesn't like beards. Never tried to grow a full beard. Now that I'm retired I've settled for a Sam Elliott style mustache, down to the chin. Wife does like that.

    Ok, survey: How many bowls do you smoke in a day?

    Used to be 3 to 4 a day, but with the cancer thing going on, haven't touched a pipe in over 2 months.

    What Are You Smoking Pages.

    Gaius, I'm still here, lurking in the background. Haven't posted as I'm not smoking. Just finished up 8 weeks of chemo and radiation. So my throat is too sore to even eat much less smoke. Only up side is I've lost 25 lbs. Dr. is giving me a 2 week break before I start chemo and immunotherapy...

    Aromatic burley blends

    Nope, it was my attempt to copy Cowboy Coffee. Didn't match it exactly but I actually like it just as well. Just SWR, black cav, and McB H&H ODF.

    Probably made for Iwan Riess in Chicago. Most likely by Stanwell.

    What Are You Smoking Pages.

    Good morning BoBs. Just dropping in to say hello. Wishing I could report that I was enjoying a big bowl of Urban Cowboy, but throat is so sore I don't dare do anything to make it worse. At least I can enjoy warm coffee which helps soothe it somewhat. One more week of radiation treatments then a...
