    I received my order of Jackknife today, four tins. I've been looking forward to this new blend for quite some time, only problem is that if I open one tin I'll only have three left, oh well God hates a coward...

    Memories of Ken

    Although I never met Ken in person I always enjoyed my interactions with him here on this board, I really liked his style, all that information and his great generosity. I participated in Kens lending library, he gave me my first opportunity to experience Tom Dunn's Ephemeris. Ken you will...

    Gave it the boot.....

    Carlos, I understand your situation completely. I had a Sony surround 5.1 (6 years) 100w per channel, it was ok for watching movies.

    News like this is never easy, I have to believe that Ken is going to a better place. On this board with all of us he is a kind and gentle soul, respectful (in his own way) and always offering to share. Dock as others have said, if you can, let Ken know he was among friends here...

    JackKnife Plug!

    I became interested in Greg's new blend as soon as I read about it on his site and was looking forward to trying it when it was released. I've looked around the web a bit this morning and the only e-tailer that seems to have had any stock at all was Smokingpipes. I'd bet there were folks that...

    Your brand of cleaners?

    I use BJ Long, I buy them in the 100 count bags. I prefer the tapered fluffy and the bristle straights. I also use Gloredo pipe cleaners, the little bristle brush works wonders.

    Request Help: Scored My Dad's Old Fatboy!

    Peg, Sorry for not replying sooner. When the razor is tightened it pins the blade in place to keep it from shifting. The "doors" have to be open to allow the adjustment to take place.

    Favorite American Pipe Maker...

    Thanks P, I know I've posted pictures of those pipes before but I thought just in case some one missed them I'd post them again. Jack is an amazing carver and a great guy and anyone considering an American pipe should definitely look him up.
