    PCCA Jazz?

    I found an old tin of this tobacco, but I can't seem to find any info or reviews of it? Does anyone know what the components are? Natch

    Accessories Wanted ISO Gawith Hoggarth flakes and Curly Cut Deluxe

    Ah, it sounds like you've bumped into the phantom drug dealer on the board. He gives out samples of delish, aged, and damn near extinct blends just to get you hooked. Then you spend your life wandering around helplessly looking for a few crumbs of those rare blends. Oh, the horror of it all!

    Pipe For Sale Aged Bulk and Tins for Sale

    Sorry for the "Pipe For Sale" prefix, it wouldn't let me post this without choosing one of the four options, and there is no tobacco for sale as an option. But if you are looking for tobacco, please read on! All bulk has been sealed in Mason jars, and they have not been opened since the date...

    I Think I Know Why Older Women Are So Grouchy

    "Old women are grouchy cause they often have to put up with old men." Exactly what She Who Must Be Obeyd would say!

    My Observations on the Subject of the P'Lip

    My complaint is the difficulty of pushing a pipe cleaner through them. I find pushing it up from the bottom through the P-lip works better than starting at the P-lip and hearing the wire at the end of the pipe cleaner scrape the wall opposite the opening. Also, the pipe cleaner comes out with...

    Gnats, birds, and other wildlife.

    Corncob, we have lots of copperheads around us as well. When my daughter was a toddler and played in the woods a lot, I did kill a few. But today I just capture them and drive them to a wild area not far from here. Fortunately, my experience with copperheads is they are not very aggressive and...

    Selling your McClelland's?

    I've had a limited but very positive business relationship with Steve (PS) in the past, and I'm probably going to send him a number of my McClelland tins. I've got several tins going back ten to twenty years or more and this may sound wimpy, but I can't bring myself to ask on this board what...

    Hermit Tobacco Works Holiday Blend 2010?

    Has anyone had this tobacco? Tobacco Reviews has covered a couple of the early years (2000-06) and they're mostly Virginia or VaPers. But they don't cover any since 2006 and just wondering what this year's Holiday Blend might be. We used to see a lot of Capt. Earl's blends in the Milwaukee...

    Gnats, birds, and other wildlife.

    She's a beauty! They also eat smaller snakes. Last month I had a somewhat different snake situation. I have a lot of English ivy growing as ground cover along my drive and up to my house. It also makes a perfect, protected pathway for mice to move near the house. But I always have a variety...

    Put your hands in the air...and a corn maze I like.

    Damn near lost my nose!

    I've been opening a lot of Mason jars with aged tobacco recently. I've always enjoyed that whoosh of fragrance when they're first opened after a decade or more and often hold my nose close to the lid as I open it. This past week I've had one that had enough pressure to bounce the lid off the...

    OK, if you insist. A couple more dog memes: (the last one is titled The Value of Patience and Wisdom.

    When it Rains it Pours

    When this does pass, sit back and light up a bowl (but then, you know that would be the thing to do anyway). Stay strong, you're family is depending upon you.

    Campers?

    I spent most of my summers growing up in Dad's homemade camper. Allender's Sad Shack, he designed and built most of it, but in Milwaukee at that time was an outfitter, Lacky and Joys, that would custom make canvas tents, so they helped put the top on it. Wonderful way to "grow up". Nowadays...

    Come on friends, you all must know some bad jokes to share or some non-political memes. Trot them out here. I need cheering up just about every day. Dog memes:

    HOT!

    It's looking like another gawd-awful hot summer in Arkieland, with half the moisture of the Gulf in the air, and not a leaf on any tree will move until late October (except when the level 5 tornados roll through). It's times like this that I wish my fellow trekkers had never dug me out.

    What Are You Smoking Pages.

    Beautiful military bit Peterson. I don't smoke while driving often, but when I do (or canoeing) I like a full bent to keep it out of the way and it balances better when it hangs in my mouth for extended periods of time.

    Todays chuckle

    Two of my favorite GIFs. I especially relate to the racoon, as I spent many nights on snowy, dark roads in the upper Great Lakes, and everything from deer to bear to skunks would bold out of the shadows. The window sticker I saw on one of my representative's car in D.C.

    When did the Danish pipe boom start in North America?

    I may have gotten in at the tail end of the times you suggest, but my first "real" pipe (not a Dr. Grabbo basket pipe) was a Danish freehand I purchased in 1971. I was at Uhle's in Milwaukee and they said that these Danish freehands had been popular for a couple of years at that time. I think...

    Would you let your 3 year old kid get on his truck?

    Continuing the morph, I had two great uncles that were dairy farmers in northern Wisconsin. We visited them when I was young and it was always a treat to go to the farm. They had 120 acres and around 100 head of cattle. Later, I learned what a hard, physical life that was. You have all the...
