    Little Women is wonderful.

    Movies that Make You Cry

    If I like a movie, I sort of open up. I don't really cry, but a tear or a little snot might happen. Schindler's List does it, Lonesome Dove too, not a movie but a TV miniseries, several scenes in both of those. Million Dollar Baby, Das Boot, Shawshank Redemption, obvious ones like that. If...

    On Tuesdays, And Saturday Mornings Before 8:37 AM, The Left Side Of The Blend Tastes Differently From The Right Side Of The Blend

    That's odd. During a leap year, after 29. february it should be happening on mondays and fridays.

    Bent or Straight Stem?

    I've had two Peterson system pipes and they both gurgled. I won't buy another and I'd advice against them.

    Is It Hotter Where You Live Now?

    If that is the case, we'll find them. Someone is bound to notice a sudden influx of a million seabirds who don't speak the local language.

    Is It Hotter Where You Live Now?

    It's warmer here than it was when I was a kid in the 80's. Old people recall very different weather than what we have now. Sheepfarmers I speek to claim the seasons seem have moved a month or two. We rarely have snow. Since sometime in the 50's the seabird populations have been dropping to a...

    Let’s Talk Zippo’s…

    When you light a Zippo you need to move it. Jerk your hand as you flick the wheel, that'll work.

    The Palate Issue

    Are you drying your tobacco? Try smoking it when it's crunchy and report back.

    Smoking as a Fine Art by A. A. Milne

    Those types of banter used to be funny for decades. These days memes last maybe a week.

    What Is Your Slowest Smoking Tobacco?

    1792 is the slowest burner in my setup. Two hours minimum for one bowl.

    Capstan Original Navy Flake (Blue)

    It is one of about five that I consider my favorite blends. I certainly prefer it over the yellow.

    Calling the Pipe Wizards! Pronunciations of Names.

    I only think or write those words, so pronunciation is not an issue. I'm much more concerned with Peugeot and Renault, not to mention the infamous Dacia, which noone seems to be able to pinpoint.

    Weird Bucket List Travel

    Just like many americans seem to think Europe is a destination, so many europeans think America is one. I'd like to see America, but that would take years and I know I can never do that. I'd settle for a trip to Louisiana, the bayou, get to taste the food and listen to some of the music. I...

    Cast Iron

    I have a couple of frying pans and a few pots in various sizes. I use them for most of my cooking. They work for everything and they look good on the table. I'm not good with recipes, mostly I just wing it, but I think they're exceptionally good for slow cooking.

    Innovations In Pipe Smoking - Is Design Dead?

    The next innovation is tobacco companies investing in energy drinks and protein bars and other 'enhancement' stuff removing themselves from tobacco and indulging in more sophisticated ways of altering peoples' minds and bodies. Tobacco is going to be a niche product.

    Innovations In Pipe Smoking - Is Design Dead?

    The real innovations were cigarettes and now vaping. If you want to go modern, don't smoke a pipe.
