    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

    Whew! I just finished catching up with all the posts I missed while at the Chicago Show - more than 75 pages! And, yes, I read them all; it took me three evenings. The show was great. It was wonderful to reconnect with all those I’ve met and known over the years since that first show back in the...

    As I think questions of this sort are relatively inane and seem to be trolling for good tobaccos to try, I'll reluctantly play. Samovar.

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

    I went to the monthly Chicago Pipe Collectors Club meeting tonight after having missed a few months. I was so happy to see all my old buddies.

    ***What Are You Smoking, March 2024?***

    While meeting with my Saturday afternoon ZOOM buddies, I smoked Samovar in my Rich Lewis rusticated calabash #731. My beverage was my usual Peach/Mango Green Tea with a splash of Honey Jack Daniel's. Great conversation and camaraderie. For those who observe, Happy Easter!

    ***What Are You Smoking, March 2024?***

    I spent a pleasant afternoon with my ZOOM buddies in fun conversation and camaraderie, while I smoked some 10-year-old PS Luxury Navy Flake in my Peterson Antique Collection 1910 bulldog hallmarked 1999, purchased at the Grafton shop during our 2002 trip to Ireland (my wife bought it for me as a...

    Chicago 2024: Who's going?

    Well, I'm a short, more than a little chubby old guy, with white hair and a beard. But you all know what I look like, so say "Hi" and introduce yourself. I'll be one of the people checking you in at the show registration table.

    What Are You Listening To - March, 2024

    Today is Modest Mussorgsky's birthday (1893). Here is an amazing scene from Act 4 of Boris Godunov (the prayer and death of Boris), in a 1956 Producer's Showcase television performance, with my father's life-long friend, basso Nicola Moscona as the monk Pimen and Boris Christoff as Godunov.

    ***What Are You Smoking, March 2024?***

    This past afternoon was another bizarrely warm and sunny one, with temperatures in the 60s, prompting me to grab my pipe, tobacco, crossword and pup and go out to the backyard. I filled my Chamersburg Morta pipe with Wilke No. 524 with Syrian Latakia. I puffed contentedly, solve my puzzle, while...
