Pipe-Balm: Buy a small block of pure, natural, beeswax, the kind that smells like honey. Stick the beeswax in a small heatproof bowl, add some walnut oil/mineral oil, and melt in the microwave. Mix with a chopstick until blended and let it cool. You need to keep adding enough oil to make a...

Could you/will you buy tobaccos sold in the USA and ship it? If it's cost effective, I urge you to buy only bulk- tobacco mixtures/samples sold by the ounce. Trust me.....you'll spend a small fortune buying tinned tobacco mixtures that you may ultimately hate right from day one, after smoking...

Love it! Thanks for the K-I-S-S suggestion. I coulda, woulda, shoulda, thought of this rice hack....but, truth be told, I never had an original thought in my entire life. Which is actually a good thing. It absolves me from taking responsibility for failures.

Before the Ozone treatment.......try jamming the juicy, oily peel of a fresh naval orange into the bowl of your pipe, making sure the oily rind contacts the inside of the bowl. Squeeze/crush the rind to release the oils and juices then jam it into the bowl, tightly. Leave some rind hanging out...

It's good...if you like that family of blue-mold cheeses. I buy it all the time.

To be honest....I don't know. Interesting question, though. I think I'm an "adult" when it comes only to certain and very specific aspects of my life. Paying bills, and not spending myself into debt, being civil and tolerant to neighbors, trying to avoid the Cardinal Sins, etc.....but in some...

One of my fav summer suppers is a nice thick slab of fresh tuna, that has been flame-broiled on the barby. Marinate the tuna steaks in some herbs, garlic paste, salt, pepper, freshly squeezed lemon juice and olive oil. Sear over hot coals. Flame-broiled fresh tuna, tastes nothing even...

Over the years the quality of supermarket brands of canned tuna has fallen. What used to be when opened, a chunk of solid, white tuna, has now morphed into small chunks of soupy-pasty, brown, foul-smelling, tuna flakes. Disgusting! Years ago I'm sure I remember buying solid Albacore, and not...

It was so long ago that I can't really remember if it was Barkley Rex, or maybe it was Wally Frank's?... that had a guy repairing pipes in the front store-window in their store on Greenwich Street. His repair "shop" (aka Pipe-Hospital), was in full view of everyone that walked by the store. I...

In New York City, before the World Trade Centers went up in the '70s the area in and around the Twin Towers...consisted of stores that were filled with war surplus, factory close-outs, job-lots, hardware stores, old-school tobacconists, electronics, radios.....a true, tinker's paradise. Canal...

I just bought (Etsy) a pack of (50) 3" X 4" vinyl protective sleeves -for the vaccine cards- for less than $14.00. The vaccine card(s) easily slips in and out of the protective sleeve -in case booster shots are required/necessary. I bought the extra sleeves for family, friends...

You guys made me laugh. A blessed gift, in today's world....so, thanks.

I pray that your meeting brings unimagined joys and new love to all, and for all, involved. What a wonderful, and blessed gift!

Just google ....the sophomoric words for the hidden meaning. If I was still in my long gone, salad days...I would have laughed longer than just a few minutes.

To be honest, with the today's FDA's restrictions/deeming regulations....I'm happy to have ANY pipe-tobacco!

Now that McClelland is defunct, so now is "Golden Hours". It was a very nice mixture to smoke. Nothing lasts, forever.

My mouth is watering..... Incredible how easily I can be induced to sabotage my trying-to-lose-some-weight, diet.

A favorite in my house when eating meat of Fridays was banned and still a pre-Vatican-2 rule. Mom made this and it was great to get whiff of the fragrant aroma of tomato sauce, peppers, shrimps....... My job was to shell and clean the shrimps. I still make this classic, once in a while...but...

I think I remember getting a Polio shot in the arm when I was a kid. The nurse used one of the Flash-Gordon ray guns for the injection. It didn't hurt, either. Back in the late '50s was the last time I ever saw these injection guns used for inoculations. From then on, I got jabbed.
