My God! Words cannot convey my heartfelt sympathy........

I tried to send you a PM on the new software, but after 15 minutes of NOT being able to, got too frustrated and resigned myself to bed! OH well, them's the breaks, as the wise guru said. A tip of the hat to you, sir, for your generosity at any rate.

Quite the clencher, eh? Or are all the teethmarks on the stems just indicative of sublimated road rage(!)

Definitely Warped's Kings Stride and especially The Red Hunt. They're superb. I'm not sure if the first batch came out in 2020, but C&D's small batch Sun Bear REALLY made ny top 5 lifetime tobaks. Just love this outstanding blend. As an aside, Black Frigate and Inns of Court have been...

I would/ve bought that pipe in a heartbeat! If I may ask, just what is your website and can one purchase pipes directly from that site? Much Appreciated - S13

No matter how many "artisan" pipes I'm seduced into shelling out for, it seems I'm always buying a Peterson every so often. And yes, they ALL smoke perfectly well, none have ever disappointed.

I smoke out on the porch with the door open, so it's starting to get nippy. But still, I love my morning coffee and pipe. I usually read while smoking, at times (like after a long chapter) putting the book down and just ruminating on things. I just love smoking a pipe so much, I try to convey...

Yeah, the Christmas Petes are really attractive this year. I snagged a straight Dublin with a tub of Comet and a Tankard (one of my fave shapes). But When I bought the Tankard my wife was coming in the room so I hurriedly made the transaction, forgetting to pick out my free tub of tobacco! I...

Wow, now THAT's cool! As well as those Swedish Mausers. Nothing like a 6.5 round for accuracy, and through one of those beauties......whew! I had a 1909 Argentine Mauser in great shape, but alas, let it go along with a LOT of other wonderful arms when things were not going so well. Nothing...

Well. Lysander, I DO collect high end side by side British shotguns, and a few double rifles as well. But lets not forget the really arcane, expensive side by side Black Powder British shotguns as well. And now I'm old (66) and my wife is after me to sell my guns, as well as my vintage...

Sounds good, kinda like Tony Hillman's Joe Leaphorn charcter, in a way. OK, I'm definitely game. What book should I start with?

OK - I've noticed a plethora of books by C J Box being mentioned here. I've never heard of this author. Can anybody giveme a basic summary of what his books (they look to be a series?) are like/about?

I HATE this problem and it seems my most expensive pipes are the ones that are the ones whose rims are charred the most. But you know what REALLY gets my goat? Even when I pack my bowl short of the top, I'll find that the devil has somehow burned the rim "out of round". Again, Only my most...

Brewdude - Couldn't agree with you more re: the Ambrose book. I bought that about a decade ago and the same thing happened to me. Oh, to get back to the post; I'm currently reading WESTERING MAN by Bil Gilbert. It's an attempt at a biography of "mountain man" Joseph Walker. It's ok, but...

Years ago, I'm talking early 80's. my wife (who was then my girlfriend) was traveling for business and one of the goodies she brought back from her Denver trip for me was a bag of "Cowboy Coffee", an actual brand of coffee. I have no idea if it's still around, nor can I remember if it was any...

Yes!, Blackhorse, for the nod to Uhle 00, a favorite of mine I somehow forgot to mention

I like Solani 656 Aged Burley Flake quite a bit..................... When you guys talk about Semois, I'm assuming you're referring to the Taba Manil offerings (?) of which there are 3; La Bruneuse, La Petit Robin and Reserve du Patron. Does one of theswe in particular strike you as THE BEST...

From a one-year (or thereabout) P-Lip convert: Use Dill pipe cleaners to draw any unwanted gurgle while you're smoking your Pete P-lip. They're just the ticket - skinny enough to go right through the hole and reach the bowl and extract, AND you can use the opposite end if and when the time...

I think you'll love it. Plum Pudding Reserve is really quite good

I"ve had the best luck with the coffee grinder.
