    Song Remakes?

    I thought Disturbed did a killer job on Sounds of Silence.

    What is your bottom line temp for smoking outside?

    Well, today I discovered that I can stay out at 18 degrees. Me and the cat with a book and a cup of joe, and of course a pipe.

    Hotel California has closed

    You know, it's a bit of a bummer when guys who are younger than you are are dropping. Makes you look over your shoulder a bit. He's another one to really miss. Remember his "Smuggler's Blues" episode on Miami Vice?

    The Majestic Wood Cock

    When I was 16, my dog and I ran into a woodcock. Dawn, doing what she did well, pointed him...but was not real sure she should. I flushed him out...fired...missed. I was shooting an old Stevens 311 at the time, in 20 gauge. I saw where he went, so we worked over that way...she pointed, I...

    Virginia Flake Pipes

    I prefer a straight-sided bowl, 3/4", deep as I can get--stacks work great. Outer shape? Who cares as long as the inner shape is right. I like stacks because it lets me leave an air space below the tobacco.

    Elliot Nachtwalter Pipes

    I have owned several of his pipes. I now have two. The two I have are great pipes. One, i call it "little guy" is just terrific. The other, a lovely oom paul is a great looking pipe, but the stem is restricted where it was bent. I have found his pipes to almost always be great lookers. His...

    I love you Captain Earle and your Ten Russians

    I've been a big fan of those two for quite some time. With a little aging they are even better! Enjoy!

    How many of you actually "listen" to music anymore?

    In the car I only listen to the radio when I CAN listen. Same at home. I am a lyric listener, so I have to pay attention to hear them. What did the singer have to SAY? Consequently, I tend to listen to singers who DO have something to say. I am also a bit hard of hearing, so I Must focus to...

    What is your bottom line temp for smoking outside?

    May have to reconsider. Sat out on Fri at 32 degrees, sitting in the sun, and it was quite doable. Sat in the garage today with a kerosene heater, sort of working, at 28. It was fine.

    What is your bottom line temp for smoking outside?

    Can't smoke indoors, here. My wife is allergic and the first whiff of smoke---her asthma kicks in. I have sat out in the garage (no insulation) with a small heater in front of me at 20 degrees. I can sit on the porch at 40...for awhile. At 45 I can stay out as long as I want. Upper 30's on the...

    10 years on YouTube

    O.K., Charlz, saw your video. The Aeropress sounded interesting. Picked one up yesterday. Not a bad system. I'm playing with it. I normally use a press. The one downside I've found, so far, that scoop takes TWO whole tablespoons of coffee. I usually use one heaping. Thus, the Aeropress will cut...

    What are you listening to?

    has anyone heard Disturbed's version of "Sounds of Silence?" Terrific.

    Another review: Newminster 400 and Sutliffe slices

    I should note this is my second order of both. I've done three orders this year. Sutliffe was on the 1st and 3rd, while Newminster was on the 2nd and 3rd. It appears a $100 order lasts me about 6 months. That's 9 or 10 tobaccos on each order. Onward. Newminster 400 Superior Navy Flake: I really...

    Had a bit of a scare yesterday

    When I was 16 I got bit by my "pet" copperhead. The bite wasn't bad, right on the knuckle, no vemon, BUT...telling my mom that my copperhead, which she did not know I had, had bitten me...WOW. Good thing you didn't need antivenom. Crofab is $2000 to $6000 a vial at the hospital. Usually takes...

    Opinions on MacBaren Acadian Perique please

    Someone told me they were going to discontinue the Acadian, along with a couple of others. Anyone in the industry heard anything?
