    How is composed your cellar?

    I see that peckinpahhombre has 677 pounds stashed away. Nothing like planning four, five, or six decades ahead, I say!

    AAA membership - is it worth it?

    Was just reading the reviews for OnStar, the General Motors satellite-connected thingy with many gee-whiz features. Run like hell! I'll stick with AAA.

    Northern Snake Heads

    Fish have tongues? Looks about as handsome as any other aquatic denizen. Creatures from hell. I make exception for trout and salmon.

    AAA membership - is it worth it?

    I've always had it. I figure it's worth the 50 bucks or whatever to know that if you break down somewhere or get locked out far from home, or at night, or both, you have a central number to call, they take care of the rest, and they give you a fairly accurate ETA. That's better than waiting for...

    The Steam Engine Pipe

    Looks like something Geronimo or one of those guys would smoke. It is, needless to say, cool. 8)

    What Are You Reading?

    +1. If you like Antarctic exploration (when are you leaving?  :lol: ), Roland Huntford's The Last Place on Earth is almost mandatory reading. Scary place...

    What movie are you watching?

    For "gunfighter" Western lovers, one of the best in my estimation. Have watched it several times. The casting of Lance Henriksen as the tired but still deadly gunfighter is absolute perfection. Great acting, generally, and the narrative effectively smooths over the cliches that this genre is...

    What Are You Smoking Pages.

    Peretti's Royal in a Ron Powell 'dog that loves this blend. Or the blend loves it. There's some alchemy of some sort goin' on, in any event.

    An American Legend

    Interesting look for a cob. I like it. Yes, I've seen one of Mark Twain's invoices somewhere, reflecting that price.

    An American Legend

    They seemed to have more interesting cobs back then. Plus it looks just a touch upscale. Am I wrong, or does that cob not have any plaster on the exterior?

    Help to Identify Pipe Stamp

    Yes, I always thought "Jean Lacroix" pipes (I have several) were actually "Jeaulacroix," judging by the script. Guess I'm wrong. Legibility is for squares, dude.

    Help to Identify Pipe Stamp

    It's not your eyes, or mine; it's the maker's eyes that are deficient. Maybe someone like Marty Pulvers would know, if you get desperate? Thought maybe it was French with a U.S. importer's stamp, but I don't know anything that looks like that beginning with C, the only letter that's at all...

    Ran by the Wharf

    Autumn Evening and SWRA are my two favorite aromatics. I'd give the edge to AE.

    Why don’t they get more respect?

    Best looking pot I've ever seen, I think. Certainly looks like a high grade to me. I need to experiment more with the two pots I have, due to the apparent love affair some have with the shape.

    About Corn Cobs, Their Stems And Their Taste

    Speaking for myself, I'd go for the La Brumeuse--but then, it's the only one I've had. It is quite "luscious," if you like the general taste of burley--intense burley.

    Sweet corn on the cob

    ...and if there's a worm or two inside, you get extra protein!

    Sweet corn on the cob
