    Going through the cellar I found porn -- 12/2011 Stonehaven

    Going through the cellar I found a small sealed mason jar of Stonehaven dated 12/2011. This is a small portion of the rest of the bag that went into a larger jar, and shows a good amount of crystals on the flakes. Many times I will put a bit away in a smaller jar to age, and also to be used...

    McClelland Bulk Sale at P&C

    For my brothers (and sisters) of the briar, P&C is having a 15% off sale on MC Bulk blends. If these blends are on your list, this may be a good time to stock the cellar. I added about 4 pounds to my cellar. As far as the ketchup smell; "You want fries with that?" :rofl:

    End of the World Blend

    I was just sitting here reading all the news and seeing just how out of hand things have gotten. It just occurred to me, with the end of the world happening later this week, what tin shall I open for the big day? What blends have you chosen for the day? I'm thinking some 5 year old...

    Very proud day

    I wanted to share a special moment with all of you. On Friday Dec 7th my son Joshua graduated from the Iowa Law Enforcement Academy (Police Academy).

    Is Greensboro NC a pipe friendly community

    This has got to be a first for me as far as considering my pipe hobby in a career move. (A small percentage, but I still have it in mind.) I am currently in the process of interviewing for a career move/job in the Greensboro NC area. My last interview will be later this month when I will fly...

    I am in the process of designing some pipe cabinets my use, and possibly a side marketing venture. I hope to have a couple done in the next few weeks. A lot of what I have been looking towards are the classic and antique replications. These would be made from pleasingly figured wood such as...

    Annual PAD/TAD Inventory

    Today I did something I have been meaning to, and putting off. Doing an inventory of my cellar. I had been keeping a spreadsheet, but I have gotten lazy about keeping it up to date. My son came down into the downstairs area while I was diligently weighing my mason jars with their contents...

    I had an accident this morning

    Like many I have tried my hand at blending and layering different blends. Some of these experiments have taken blends I enjoyed separate and created something together that is less to something that was horrible. Have any of you, in efforts to avoid wasting small amounts of good blends...
