Thankful for my wife and 2 granddaughters, who we are raising and who, for all practical purposes, are my daughters. We have had them eleven years this spring, been their legal guardians for ten years now. I'm rather old to be doing this all over again (already raised three of my own before...

Let me reiterate. At this point it appears that none of the admins is going to pick up the task of dealing with a POY for this year. Some years we have them, some years we don't. This is not going to happen without admins running the show so you guys should please hold up on this until next...

All of my pipes end up being dedicated to a type of tobacco. In the end, if a pipe doesn't shine with one type of tobacco or another it probably ends up getting sold. The pipes I've ended up keeping have stayed because they smoked something wonderfully. The biggest problem I have, really, is...

Thank you. She's having catheter ablation to correct an arrhythmia, she should be OK. But as I said, it's a pain in the butt this POY and takes time, and right now it's not just me that's busy it's several of us. So maybe it's just not in the cards for this year..

Hi folks. Sorry I've been lacking in my presence here as of late but as has been mentioned, I'm really bogged down right now with crazy long work hours, a sick wife ( heart surgery next week) and trying to raise two granddaughters, ages 10 and 12. Fact is, I'm a mess right now and won't have...

That's a beauty, love the lovat shape.

There are a couple I enjoy. Bobs Chocolate flake always pleases and has some strength to it, as does GH & co Black and Brown which has a nice heavy molasses element to it. McClelland 2000 Fragrant Matured Cake is excellent. Rich, strong enough and has a bit of a maple thing going on that works...

The Davidoff tobacco was just sort of "Meh.... :| " Never really shined but wasn't bad either. Flavors were a little thin.

The pipe is stamped "Fisherman" on the silver collar, has an acrylic stem and is maybe 5" long.  I've seen a few on european pipe sites but not in the states. The Peterson Fisherman series here is a different pipe. Link to an example...

Davidoff Scottish mixture in a Peterson lovat. Great pipe, interesting blend. First bowl, too soon to form any sort of opinion, but it's not bad at all.

Dug up a tin of MacBaren Mixture from 2006. It took me years to groove the slow cadence needed to enjoy these Danish cavendish tobaccos. I now can actually get a lot of pleasure from them rather than the harsh smoke and tongue bite that rapid puffing produces. Turns out this is a really nice and...

Sorry to hear about your dad, very tough situation for a person and family to go through. Visit him often and try to keep his spirits up and his mind active. Great classic pipe. The lovat is a wonderfully practical and efficient shape with its straight shank and abbreviated saddle stem. They...

To be honest I judge a person I've just met based on how they speak. Within the first few sentences I usually know whether I'm talking to a decent reasonable person, a derelict, an immature ******** or a self righteous prick. Color, gender or ethnicity are unimportant. Martin Luther King got it...

Well I guess that'll shut up all the dummies who actually thought an MMA grappler was going to get in the boxing ring and handle an actual boxing champion. Your boy got knocked the f*"! Out :cheers: What was even funnier was listening to the commentators during the fight in the early rounds...

I have maybe a dozen blends I keep stockpiled and I wander from one to another as my present taste requires. I can't stick with one for more than a few days before I feel the need to smoke something completely different. At the moment I'm smoking a mixture of equal measures of McClelland 2017...

That's a very cool pipe, and great gift! :cheers:

We make the same sort of thing all summer long. Instead of oregano we use fresh basil and also add a little sweet onion, thinly sliced, and use balsamic vinegar instead of red wine vinegar. Slice a baguette, drizzle olive oil on the slices and toast the slices under the broiler, then rub the...

I bought a couple Here . Good number of bowls in stock, correct threading, good quality and price, quick shipping. They list the chamber dimensions too.

Truth is they are well engineered, well made and made from good material. They smoke very well, good open drafts. They are better than any of the other production pipes in that price range that I've come across. What was lost is style. The older Stanwells were well made copies of famous Danish...
