    I entrust my high level of fashion to mssrs. Carhartt and Hanes and my footwear to the venerable house of Redwing.

    General Check In For Everyone!

    Checking in from wet and soggy northern California. All is well. christmas went well, the girls got everything they wanted and then some, spent time with family, ate too much. This week has been wet, which is fine by me. Everyone else has gone back to school and work and I have the place to...

    A couple nice surprises.

    I forget what thread it was but we were discussing pipe lighters and I mentioned the Vector butane insert for Zippo lighters. I knew about them but didn't own one. I seldom use my Zippos because I find the standard Zippo fuel (taste, evaporation, poor char lights) unsatisfactory. So in the name...

    My Zippo hates me.

    I smoke 6-9 bowls a week so I should be good. :)

    My Zippo hates me.

    I'm thinking about trying one of those butane inserts for the Zippo. I love the lighter body and style but the actual lighter itself is a pain in the butt so it just sits on the shelf. They're fine for cigarettes, but they suck as pipe lighters. They fuel tastes horrible, the lighters seep so...

    There will be a review, someone smoked it in an old weathered Grabow or beat up cob while drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon. Simillarities to Carter Hall or Walnut will be mentioned.

    A corncob pipe endorsement, they got it right.

    I've owned several Missouri Meerschaum cobs over the years and always felt they were more novelty than useful smoking instrument. Not that the cobs themselves weren't perfectly acceptable for pipeweed combustion, but those awful little stems they put on them were so bad it threw any notion of...

    This Technique Thing

    The aim is to get it just inside the nose to coat the soft tissue there, then enjoy the aroma as you breathe. I found it helps sometimes to breath with an open mouth so some of the inhalation comes through the nose and some through the mouth. I found also that putting a small bit of snuff on the...

    Ford Focus.

    Sorry, but how can a car be totaled from a cracked head? Can't buy a remanufactured head with new valve train and put it on?

    I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours.

    4 pounds of ferocious beast. I protested when my wife wanted her, please no more dogs, but now she sleeps on my pillow next to me.

    So, who is running this place, now?

    George, the same bunch that has been for some time. Myself, Mark, Carlos, PB, mr E, Blackhorse. I think you must be referring to the threads that got deleted. Lets just say that as always, all political and religious and/or inflammatory subjects are supposed to be relegated to the rubber room...

    Bulldog day

    Got an unusual weekday off today so I went a' lookin for somethin good to smoke. Dug out some 2006 FVF and a pair of bulldogs. So, a random post on bulldogs :)  Feel free to join in and share. This is a shape I intended to begin a collection of, but I'm such a picky SOB and somewhat limited on...

    Your earliest memory

    My absolute earliest memories are vague snapshots of being about 3 years old in the mid 1960's living in a little house in Chino, Ca with a little park next door that was the whole of all things adventurous, and eating in front of a black and white television before being sent to bed so mom and...

    Imperial Stout

    Relaxing with a Narwhal at the moment. Very good, very rich. I'm getting a lot of black coffee from this one.

    Imperial Stout

    I'm sipping on a Rogue Chocolate Stout at the moment. I don't usually like the effect of adding flavors (coffee, chocolate, etc) to beer but this one works. The first sip or two is "Whoa, chocolate added. Not so sure 'm gonna like this...." But then it settles nicely into a good rich flavor...
