    These old amber-stemmed pipes are just too delicate for anything but the most gentle hand holding while smoking!! Not to mention dropping!! Been there, done that. I feel your pain!!!!! FTRPLT

    water to rind ratio - talking oranges and shrinkflation

    The "Cara Cara" oranges I usually buy are much the same way. The damn rinds could stop a bullet!! I'm tending toward Minneola, and other, tangerines. Shrinkflation is everywhere!!! FTRPLT

    You're right, he did!! IIRC, Epiphany is C&D's "take" on replicating Revelation. FWIW, FTRPLT

    What Are You Smoking Pages.

    A bit behind today as our WX is warm, clear, sunny with no wind!! Enjoyed a "small pipe" morning/early afternoon. Started with a 1922 DH Patent DR 7 bulldog (DH 1 or 2 sized) filled with 2008/2009 Charles Fairmorn Lancers Slices. Followed up with an old Peterson Deluxe, Peterson's of Dublin...

    Falling off the PAD & TAD wagon is somewhat of a normality with this group!!! Resisting temptation is not one of our strengths!!!! FTRPLT

    looking for tobacco Crossville Tn

    Been to Crossville several times. Unfortunately never looked for any B&M pipe/tobacco shops. Best I can suggest is asking Google for info! Good luck, FTRPLT

    G L Pease Fillmore,severe nic hit anyone?

    Although I've never tried "Fillmore," I do feel your pain concerning the "nic" hit!! I'm not a "nic hit" pipe smoker! I keep a sharp eye out on certain Burley's (Gatlin-Burley and Watch City Slice come readily to mind). I always smoke these after a meal or heavy snack. It happens to most of us...

    Matches

    The strike anywhere blue-tips are dang hard to find!! I get my red-tipped strike on box ones at a local grocery store. I buy them in 20-pack cellophane-wrapped packages. I haven't used anything but matches to light a pipe in forever!! FTRPLT

    Up and at'em this sunny, warm morning!! Fed the "Inside Six" kitties; then loaded my Elliott Nachwalter/George Jemelka full bent "Trumpet" straight grain with 2008 Margate. Sitting on the back patio with dark, strong Cafe du Monde coffee laced with a bit of real cream from our local dairy!! FTRPLT

    Any Carter Hall lovers or haters?

    I too went thru a "I don't like codger/OTC blends (especially Burley blends!)" phase way back when. However, in my "vintage" years my taste buds truly enjoy several of them. Granger, Larus Bros. Edgeworth Sliced, CH, PA, Walnut, and Barking Dog are among my absolute favs. I accumulated...

    Carole Burns

    Yes, she gave up the tobacco business a few years ago, selling to John Brandt. She kept the pipe, pipe repair, etc. part of the business active up until sometime last year at least. Another fine individual gone from our little part of the world!! FTRPLT
