    Alabama Pipe FEST Picnic of 2016

    I work with Alabama Shakes bass players dad. He is a cig smoker, but always interested in my pipe on breaks. Time to convert and recruit.

    Mr Brog pipes

    Mr Brog makes a good product. Briar, pearwood, and others depending on which one. I own 7 or so, good beater pipes for the price. I have done that very deal mentioned by Khartman, got as advertised. The random pipe was a larger sitter Mr. Brog. The Mr. Brog Kentucky make up 3 of mine...

    Just watched the movie last night. Very good all around. Great message, explaining a situation, without being dry and boring.

    Lessons Of The Newb (OVERLY WORDY!!)

    Great collection for sure. I like the whole layout. Would not mind having a few of them in my case. From experience, I like basically the total oppisite from the pipes I thought I liked when I started. Would not be shocking if those pipes are sold off for your new found taste. Exactly like...

    Souvenier of a Failed Marketing Campaign

    Thanks for posting this. I enjoy train related information/things as well. Had never heard about this. Will have to keep my eye out for more of their stuff. The ashtray does look pretty nice.

    Things That Have Been Banned

    Lucky enough can still smoke tons of places here, even in restaurants/bars. If Customer base and employees are required to be over 19 can light up. So get to smoke , and don’t have to listen to screaming brats. Win , win in my book. Personally I see it costing more and more but never banned...

    Do You Plan Ahead On Which Tobacco?

    Usually have 4 tins or so open. I do start planning when a whole tin gets low. Beyond that its whatever is closest to me usually. I do pre-load the night before my morning drive smoke. Usually something cheap for work days. Currently it is Alamo from pipes and cigars. Surprisingly good for the...

    Tried 3 New Blends, All Interesting, One Esoterica

    Nice write ups. I enjoy the two Just For Him blends you mentioned. I have several ounces myself. They both get better with age, Shortcut to Mushrooms really starts to shine after a year. Glad you liked them. If they get mentioned much I must miss the posts.

    The Savinelli320

    It is one of my fav shapes as well. I did have the hercules version/line at one point, ended up selling it. Would get a jaw cramp after trying to smoke that thing. Almost kept it as a spare hammer

    A Clue For Sherlock Holmes

    I am in the same boat that the blend didnt really do it for me. Different brand but along the same naming scheme Black Shag, and Honeydew blends I did enjoy

    Can you believe she wrote down my license number?

    Retrogasm is listing comments made throughout the post. Then pointing out that someone said to be nice as tolerance and brotherhood are cornerstones. Then saying because of the negative comments compiled (about a loony nutbag of a woman), That maybe the member is wrong and Tolerance and...

    Thoughts on D-Day

    Hero's all around. God help us if that degree of sacrifice is needed again. We don't have the number of real heros in the country left that we sadly lost that day. My grandfather was one who survived that day. Would not even speak of it no matter how asked. He just couldn't. I saw him try once...
