    Are you a "Handyman" or "Passion Paws"?

    I have always had the attitude that most things are achievable as long as you learn and try hard. I have found that there's little you can't do. I try to make anything I can. I cook all the food I eat and I often get compliments for my cooking. I make candles, soap, I do 3d printing and I've...

    What Are You Smoking Pages.

    @Bill Unfortunately they are likely to have been We(evil)s. I had to throw away a good amount of stuff, everything in the cupboard where they were localized that wasn't completely sealed as you said. We like keeping the windows open during the summer and we paid for it through the loss of a...

    Good morning BoB, This morning I smoked a bowl of Amphora Full in my mm cob. This blend tastes better than it smells. Yesterday, after a very full day I tried a bowl of Russ' Sweet Autumn in the same pipe. I woke up yesterday feeling very lethargic and found some bugs in the kitchen. I realized...

    And another one is out

    Yes, perhaps I got the year wrong but you've definitely found the correct film. The film was slow and many think it dull but the visuals and ideas behind the story play on the dichotomy between the grotesque and the beautiful in an interesting way. It would have benefited if you did the film...

    Good morning BoB, I started the day with a nice bowl of Amphora burley in my mm cob. Now I'm at work enjoying some fancy green tea while listening to a naval history conference on the battle of Leyte Gulf. It's raining here which is a fantastic blessing. Several forest fires were started by a...

    Does anyone know the history of Manu pipes?

    A big welcome to the forums from the Oregon high desert! Beyond their proclivity to oddball shapes, Manu is a brand foreign to me. Like Sherlock said, there are some real experts here that should be able to fill you in.

    Good evening BoB. I abstained from viewing the debate. Nothing of value was missed. I spent my evening watching a movie with the wife and exercising. Now I'm sitting outside enjoying some Sutliff Rum Rasin in my beater mm cob as a nightcap, cooling off in the night air. I'm listening to...

    And another one is out

    Very cool. Listening with my eyes closed, my mind conjured imagery of the 1987 animated film Gandar.

    Another good morning BoB, The centeral Oregon mornings are chilly now. This morning I tried a bowl of Russ' Eau de Vie. This is a very nice blend to be sure but I don't get as much dark fruit as I had hoped for. My favorite flavor in tobacco is dark fruit such as plum and rasin. It's why I...

    What Are You Smoking Pages.

    I recently won a whole pound of Captain Black Cherry for the grand price of ten bucks so I had a bowl of it as a nightcap after I finished baking some sandwich bread. I don't quite understand the ubiquitous negative reviews for this blend. It certainly isn't a great blend but it didn't make me...

    Good morning BoB, It's Monday and I'm back home and back to work. This morning I tried some Borkum Riff Bourbon Whiskey in my mm cob.

    Looking West Across the Pacific.

    I was in that same area on the coast this very weekend fooling around between Newport and Tillamook. Perhaps we drove past one another. It sure was foggy, wasn't it? Hope your anniversary was great!

    Happy Sunday BoB, Boy, our stay on the Oregon coast has been eventful. The hotel we had stayed at the night before last resembled a crack-house which was very unnerving and will end up being a story we'll remember for some time. Thank God we found a better place to stay last night. Otherwise...

    lockpicking - so much for those locks being worth the money

    I was slightly infamous way back in high-school for being able to crack some locks. It was never more than a party trick to me. It's good knowledge that the overwhelming majority of locks that you can buy are but a YouTube video from cracking because you need to account for that. Keep your...

    Good morning BoB! Today I smoked a bowl of Prince Albert in my mm cob. Good, but I like Granger quite a bit more. Working a half day before my wife, sister in-law, and I head off west to spend the weekend driving around the Oregon coast. It isn't likely I'll be posting while away from home nor...

    I need to have apps on mobile phone to get discounts in store now.

    The semiconductor was a mistake.

    Sitting at the lazer cutter working and drinking green tea after having enjoyed the lionshare of a bowl of Match Field and Stream in my mm cob on my way to work. Yesterday, two sandwich loaf tins arrived in the mail so I'm excited to bake some sandwich bread after I clock out of work today.

    A class act is gone

    I've been following Paul for years. He'll be missed by me and many others. Make sure to say a prayer for him, he provided some real good stuff to the world.
