    Lenten resolution

    I'm giving up waiting until noon for my first pipe of the day. Giving up self-denial sounds good to me. Of course I'm Jewish so it doesn't make that much difference. :mrgreen:

    Dunhill London Mixture

    Does anyone know which Oriental tobaccos are used?

    Which Would You Choose?

    Alan makes a good point, offer to buy the second one. -given a choice between the two, I'd choose the Viking.

    Press Release: Kevin Godbee Introduces StonedMagazine.com

    An April Fools Joke? Man, that's too bad. Great stuff though. I enjoy the stuff on a regular basis. Expands the mind, chills ya out and the insights I get are awesome. :worship:

    Basil Rathbone

    I have all the links to ALL the BR movies on youtube. Surprised they are all there. For some info, I just got back from our annual west german slow smoking competition. I got 50:10. Not the best time, but it was better than last year's time. A member of our team got the best time of...

    Smoking Competition

    Our annual pipe smoking competition for the west european area comes up on Saturday. I placed 14th in the competition last year and eighth in the West German regionals. My best time so far has been a little over an hour, but clearly I am smoking too quickly as the top guy goes for close to...

    Can An Over Bored Pipe Be Saved?

    Can An Over Bored Pipe Be Saved? Only if you're willing to jump in after it. Clever. :rofl:

    Boycott List

    mjtannen---I don't think that is the best idea. We are supposed to be gentlemen. Sure, I agree with you on an initial level...I just don't think it's wise. What I do is wear a shirt with a breast pocket and put my still smoldering pipe in there when I go into places. The pipe is visible, but...

    A. Dunhill's Book: "The Gentle Art of Smoking"

    I've got a copy of it as well. With dustcover. Excellent read. There could have been actual pictures instead of illustrations.

    Sherlock Holmes

    I haven't seen the Sherlock series yet. We can get BBC here, but I haven't had the chance yet. I know a lot of people like it. I've got the feeling that with Elementary, they wull marry off Holmes with Watson towards the end...just a feeling.

    A Request for Thoughts and Prayers

    There can not be anything worse than watchung a loved one suffer. It's good to get things off of your chest. I will have my whole family pray for your brother. It's good that we have such a good fotum. Talking about problems is good. A problem shared is a problrm halved.

    Sherlock Holmes

    Got my hardback cover as printed in The Strand years ago. Pages are falling out to the point that I can't read it anymore. Plus it is so big that it doesn't travel well. I heard about the series Elementary, but after hearing reports about this modernization with Holmes no longer smoking his...

    Sherlock Holmes

    I noticed that there is not a thread on the world's greatest detective and decided to start one. I have been obsessed with Holmes for as long as I can remember. I even wear a deerstalker on a regular basis when out and about. I am always going to be partial to Basil Rathbone's portrayal of...

    Leonard Nimoy Turns 82... Happy Birthday Spock!

    Dif-tor heh smusma Star Trek is the type of reality I wish truly existed. The concept of exploration rather than all these damn wars appeals to me. Spock is the ultimate character. He shows how we all struggle with emotions. Spirituality also figures quite heavily, particularly in DS9. LONG...

    100% Latakia Blend and Meerschaum Question

    I worked at the Tinder Box a numbers of years ago and we sold straight Latakia for blending. On a dare from myself to myself, I ATTEMPTED to smoke a bowl of pure Latakia, just to see what it was like. BIG mistake. My eyes watered, my hair stood up on ends and I thought the gates of hell had...
