It's been a miserable day at the office, so I'm treating myself to my favorite combo - some GLP Telegraph Hill in a Todd Harris bent bulldog.

I'd start with @Ranger107 's advice. You may have some nice cake going by now - usually a good thing as long as it's not too thick, and as long as it's not starting to impede the draft hole. If you need to pare it back a bit, a Senior pipe reamer is an easy to use, affordable solution.

Here in NE Ohio, this is the time of year where the weather has no idea what it's doing. 85 and humid, 63 and humid, frost in the mornings, thunderstorms in the evening, all in a 24-hour period.

Northeast Ohio, about a mile from the shore of Lake Erie. We're an underrated little corner of America, but we like it that way!

Not a new member, but after 6ish years away from the board, I figured a reintroduction is in order. I spent a lot of time here in the 2010s, but life got busy and my online participation in the hobby was quickly reduced to checking in on some social media groups from time to time, and real life...

Nasal snuff has become as much a hobby for me as pipe smoking...the variety out there is absolutely astounding. Don't get me wrong - I still light a pipe whenever I have time, but it's nasal snuff (and Swedish snus) that get me through the workday (or anywhere else the anti-smoking brigade have...

8 matches, 8 draws...4 to go. I haven't been able to follow live, but I've been reading the recaps and "watching" move-by-move once they're posted afterwards. Looked like Caruana was going to take a full point today - way up on time with Carlsen playing a step behind all match.

This used to be a hard question for me to answer, but my tastes seem to have settled in to a very clear top 5, and within that a clear top 2. GLP Telegraph Hill My personal concoction: 30% red VA ribbon, 30% perique, 20% toasted burley, 20% white burley. Fortunately, I have a pound and half...

Head cold around the holidays? Toque Camphor & Clove to the rescue! Tonight, I'll turn to my tried and true remedy - a few big pinches of Dholakia Medicated #10, a hot and steamy shower, then a quick shot of whiskey and honey (the drink...not the snuff) before crawling into bed. Right as...

It's perique - it'll make EVERYTHING better! Ok...maybe not Middleton's Cherry.

Been away from snuff for a bit, but came back to it WITH A VENGEANCE in the past few weeks. Toque Camphor and Clove for me today, probably some Rosinksi Alter Fritz tonght. (by the way - the cheese and bacon ain't half bad. Tried it on a lark thinking it would be a gross little novelty -...

Congrats! Glad to see everyone's happy and healthy!

Happy Birthday, PB...hope you're well wherever you are, you cranky ol' goat!

It seems like every year, when we're outside smoking, we end up saying "I wish they had this LAST weekend - it was breezy and 10 degrees cooler." Well...it's a week earlier this year - so we'll see how that plays out. High of 78 with some morning showers is in the forecast - if that holds...

100 pounds? Achievable, enough. About three years ago, I dropped 120 in 15 months - got of my butt, paid a little attention to what I was eating, and a whole lot of attention to why I was eating. Of course, then I started feeling cocky about the progress, took the foot off the gas, and have...

Anyone headed to the NASPC pipe show in Columbus, OH this weekend? I'll be there all day Saturday, hopefully for most the evening Friday as well. If you're around, let me know - it'd be great to sit and have a bowl!

Way. Too. Hot.

Congrats, Rande! I'm not one for the heat, but if that's your thing I can't imagine a better spot! Just watch out for those scorpions!

Kudos to all of the parents out there - I can't imagine doing the things you do - but I've never once regretted our decision to go through life as a two-income, no-kid household (as selfish as that may seem).

I'm headed out for our local pipe club meeting...seems like a McC 40th Anniversary kind of evening. Planning to smoke it in a Todd Harris bent bulldog.
