Try Stash Double Bergamot Earl Grey. Not always easy to find, but well worth the search, it's got an assload of bergamot oil. This has got me to thinking--time to find more of that glass. Just love the way it gleams.

That hefeweizen is great, but their dunkelweizen would be my favorite. Sorry to hear that about Pennsylvania, Dallas just now made it legal to sell beer and wine throughout the city, but liquor is still only in restricted areas,. All the 'burbs have beer and wine, the suburb of Addison has it...

This is the danger of remembering events like the Kennhedy assassination or 9-11. It conjures up emotions or thoughts of conspiracy theory. Remember the word "solidarity?" Either way, we're missing the point and assuming the position. It's been said that the political parties won't work...

Yet another question. About how long should the buttons remain effective? I use one in my pouch, but they seem to work less and less after only a couple weeks. My pouch is a good one, but it is zippered, the coins take good care of my tobacco so long as they work. I wonder if this could be...

I have a pipe rack which came with a large tobacco jar on the platform. I bought the rack in sterling condition from a thrift store quite a while ago, but the jar's wooden lid has no seal. So, can anyone tell me how or where to find a good seal whether makeshift or an actual seal. I'd like to...

Just had a couple longnecks of Shiner Bock, made here in Texas. I hear they've got a Christmas variety out, which I must try. Finally something I might like about the holidays.

Onabullit, I was once in Austin with my family and we stopped by an Arabic restaurant, I forget the name. Anyway, we've got a couple of good restaurants/Arabic foodstores on/off of Beltline among a few others in the North Dallas area, in case you didn't know. The place on Preston and Beltline...

Welcome.

Impressive collection, sir, and welcome.

Ah, and the day after Kerry lost, I finally dropped out of junior college and went to a bar for my usual poison. Quitting school was good, but we still had Bush and I'd just had my favorite cat put down. Maybe the vague, lingering belief that it maybe mattered who was president was a bit of...

Can't think of any one event. Everyday reality seems to wear you down, even as a kid with an age in the single digits. Funny how youthful innocence is celebrated while stupidty is scorned (or celebrated even more so) and delusions are medicated in the nuthouse. Lose that innocence early and...

This tie was given to me by my stepfather several years ago, which he got from his father, a pipe smoker. I'm told he favored pipes but also smoked cigars and cigarettes on rare occasion, saying of cigarettes that he could only taste the paper. It's a skinny vintage tie (the owner having died...

Bruins, here's those glass pieces I mentioned. A few are from a dollar store when I started the collection several years ago, and the others werediscounted at Ross. The centerpiece is my first piece, held inside an ornate ashtray and surrounded by ovular glass floral beads of some type. In...

I'll be going to my mother's house, where she has a formal dining room and such. She's half-Lebanese and Lebanese recipes have been a holiday tradition, I grew up eating Arabic food in addition to regular American food. We'll probably have an assortment of olives, hummus and babaganouj with...

I'm not a connoisseur of anything. What do y'all think of Cutty Sark?

That's interesting, Irene. Beethoven is entertaining and Chopin helps me think, but I don't know what music could make someone "cheery." Cheer never was one of my qualities, unless I'm drinking to classic rock.

That does it, I gotta get some of this FVF action.

Burley is sublime with coffee, but I really smoke it all day. My first bowl is PA, 'cause it's stronger. Then I might have CH from a cob for my second bowl 'cause it's superb with coffee. Then, on my 25-minute walk to work, I have another of PA. Trick question, indeed, it takes three bowls...

Welcome from Texas, glad to hear you can still smoke up north.
