    What Are You Reading?

    I continue to read Titan - the Rockefeller book is proving difficult to finish, the man lived a very long time!

    What Are You Smoking Pages.

    So I smoked my first post COVID pipe this afternoon. Hal O’ The Wynd in a Radice Rind Billiard. While I enjoyed my first smoke in over three weeks, I have to say my taste/smell is not at all back. I could feel some perique tingle, but the smoke was flat otherwise. I’m hoping that improves with...

    The welcome wagon

    Welcome Ranger, from the High Plains. I had a 30+ year hiatus from pipe smoking and was astounded when I returned 2+ years ago. So many choices in pipes and tobacco. Enjoy your time here!

    What do you drive?

    A year ago I traded in my Honda Accord and sold my '95 Ford Ranger 4cyl, and bought a new 2019 AWD Honda Ridgeline. Lots of big truck guys don't consider the Ridgeline to be a "real" truck, but it does everything I need it to do and is a very comfortable ride. My wife drives a Honda Pilot...

    How Much Is Too Much?

    That's why, in my spreadsheet, I calculate a separate line for 2, 3, 4, & 5 pipes a day!

    About done with this one

    I can second that. I have a number of MM cobs and the Charles Towne Cobbler is far and away the best. I liked it so much I bought a second.

    How Much Is Too Much?

    Well, as with most answers to questions such as this, it depends. Early on on the rebirth of my pipe smoking, I decided to keep track of what I was buying in the pipe and tobacco world. That led me to using the data for various purposes. One is a tobacco consumption calculator, designed to...

    About done with this one

    Proof that not all cobs last for years, as we are sometimes told.

    The retirement thread

    I’ll be retiring at the end of the year after 45+ years of work; 31 in oil & gas production and 14.5 in Christain pastoral ministry. I’m ready for some downtime, spending time with our grandkids, and figuring out what comes next. Technically this is my second retirement, the first was 3 months...

    Buyer's Remorse

    Oh, I do like the one I bought from you, it is a wonderful smoker. One of those I looked at and had to have! It's not that I don't want any more pipes, I just don't need more. That doesn't mean I won't buy more. I think what has happened is that my exploratory phase, finding what size...

    Buyer's Remorse

    I find that if I spend too much time looking at pipes on ebay or online vendors, I end up buying a pipe. That tendency is getting less, but it is still there. I've been trying to limit my pipe buys to POY's and a few special pipes like the Matches 860 Tribute pipe - I liked the shape, so it...

    Hello from Mobile Alabama

    Welcome from the high plains. At least half of my pipes are estate refurbs. And that does include a ‘49 Dunhill Shell LB F/T that I picked up for $6.00 and had professionally restored. They are out there. Enjoy your time here!
