    What are you smokin'?

    Montecristo Chicago, which is the same as the New York except for size. I smoked it outside which I almost never do. Had a hard time tasting anything and only at the very end did I realize that I should have been snorking all along. I also don't think I'll smoke a $13.00 cigar outside again; why...

    holiday season

    "Spoiling my dog with presents" rings true to me. From whom else do you get so much love and attention and such superb loyalty? I was eating cold cuts the other night with a bit of mayo. My cat got interested but then looked away, repeated this, but then grew assertive, looking straight at me...

    Anyone stocking up on certain MacBaren tins?

    I bought 14 oz of 20 y/o VA #1 last spring at the Raleigh pipe show. When I tried it the bite was severe, as in a half-dozen puffs and I put the pipe down with a resounding thwack. . .

    What Happened to Dutch

    s.ireland has only been a sporadic poster for several years now. He seems to post less and less, but I believe he will be back. LPIPE got some feedback about his emphasis on masculinity, I believe, and lost the faith. And Dave's portrayal of Kyle as addicted to BoB certainly rings true.

    More thinking on counterfeits

    "Wanted to let you know, not only that the Cubans you buy not be genuine but that the US regulatory agency that monitors contraband import items might well fine you." Jeez, where do I sign up?

    Pipes 'n' stuff

    You know, it's just my opinion, but what does pipe smoking have to do with instruments of lethal aggression? (I know, Man Stuff). I wish you'd just keep pictures of such confined to the appropriate section in "Related Topics." It's my responsibility to stay away from that section, and I have no...

    What Happened to Dutch

    I haven't seen any of his posts for a couple of months now. Does anyone know where he went?

    Best pipe for shag cut tobacco?

    If you'd like a little more lead to kick up the octane of your smoke, Kendal KY and/or Dark Birdseye.

    I would probably never knowingly buy a pipe with a stinger.

    Big event in 36 hours....

    I'll be 59 in January. I've already selected my long-term care facility, and thus when early Alzheimer's hits my family can use the already well-oiled chute to slide me there. Also, I've already selected and paid for cremation and have arranged for my ashes to be scattered on Lake Titicaca. ...

    Tupperdor

    For about $100 you can transform a 120 qt cooler into an effective coolidor. Some even put shelves into them. Given what that much space in a wood/cedar humidor would cost, it's substantial savings.

    More thinking on counterfeits

    Unless I am trained in counterfeit detection, how can I feel confident in the goods unless I apply that training to what I buy? There are estimated to be many counterfeits on the market. I think confidence in a retailer must be earned by myself each time I buy and inspect the product. My...

    Bad Cuts

    Don't you hate it when you're not paying attention and cut the cap too deeply, resulting in having to coddle, throughout the smoke, that part of the wrapper that unravels? I don't do it often but when I do. . .in the end I feel fortunate when I get to smoke the whole cigar after having done this.
