    Nor'easter

    The weather man got this one right, started snowing a 9:00 PM last night and still snowing with about 20+ inches on the ground so far. Sitting here watching the snow with a fire in the fireplace, a fat cat sleeping on my lap and a pipe in my hand. To everyone in the storms path stay safe and warm.

    PAD Forgive Me For I Am Weak

    I ended 2015 with the purchase of two new pipes, so my New Years Resolution was not to buy any new pipes for at least the first half of 2016. I stand here now and state that I am weak and have failed. I received the SmokingPipes.com email yesterday about new Peterson's in stock. Innocently I...

    A Song That Mentions Pipe Tobacco

    I can think of several songs that mention cigars or cigarettes, but til now none that mentioned pipe tobacco. Here is a link to The Dubliners preforming "Finnegans Wake". The mention of pipe tobacco comes in the third verse. Just something that made me smile on a gray rainy day...

    Package From Nate

    I machined out a tamper head for Nate. It was a quick little project, and I was glad to help a fellow brother out. For payment I told him to send me a tin of tobacco and we would call it even. I picked up the mail yesterday, the package felt heavy for one tin, this was the contents. Needless to...

    Peterson Christmas Pipe

    I really liked the looks of this years Peterson Christmas pipe, but kept putting off pulling the trigger on one. The other day I started looking for one in the 408 shape and they where all gone! I went to TobaccoPipes.Com, and luckily they still had them in stock so I quickly placed an order. It...

    New Tamper

    I must own a dozen tampers, the problem is they seem to be able to appear and disappear on their own. I was in my shop and looking for a tamper to no avail. So I went to my scrap box found a piece of stainless steel and a chunk acrylic and headed to the lathe. Hopefully this one won't go missing...

    They Said Pipe Smokeing Would Turn Me Purple!

    I just noticed I turned purple. Gee, I've never been a preferred member of anything before. Do I get the secret decoder ring now?

    D-Day

    Today the beaches of Normandy are quiet, the only waves coming ashore are those of the Channel waters. Seventy one years ago, waves of men stormed the sands to claw out a foot hold on European Continent.

    Cleaning On A Cold Sunday

    I gathered a few of the pipes I smoke the most for a good cleaning. As I cleaned each one, I thought of times of quiet reflection and simple pleasure each has given me. Of a the ways to enjoy the leaf none seems to give as much to the senses as the pipe.

    I found my father-in-law's Zippo

    Back when my wife and I first got married my wife's mother gave us a chair. We used it for a few years and then it was banished to the basement. There it sat for years, used by a few cats and as catch all, it was a little shabby. Instead of hauling it out in one piece I decided to cut it in half...

Roger lived and breathed black powder shooting, until two years ago when he suffered a stroke. Roger had taken a stock to have the barrel...
