    My Smoking Days are Over

    It is with a sad heart that I find I must ween myself of tobacco and all my pipes within the next month or so. I have found out last week that I have been Diagnosed with COPD. The exact stage or level is yet to be determined through a Lung Function Test to be administered on June 8/15 at 10am. I...

    Any Old Gowrie Fans?

    Got some of this last week or so ago. Am currently drying some to give it a smoke. Anyone have any ups or downs about this baccy? I got 2 tins of Escudo as well and like it just fine. 2 tins of Erinmore flake that I am iffy about so far. I even baked one of em for 8 hours

    Escudo! No I didn't. Oh yes I did!

    Got a couple tins of Escudo and I like it just fine. Even though I have a problem with VA's, I can smoke this without ripping my tounge out. For some reason, unknown even to me, I had the bright idea to mix it with 5Bro's. Cut 60/40 in favor of the Escudo; one of the best smokes I have had to date.

    A Few Tins Other Than OTC's

    I am a big fan of the OTC's. Main staples are Carter Hall and Prince Albert. I decided to mix it up a bit so ordered some tins from Noggins. Included are: 2 pouches 5 Brothers, 2 Tins Escudo, 2 Tins Erinmore Flake and 100g tin of Old Gowie. Hope I like em

    I'd Rather Be Riding

    Only 4-5 Months to go. And my other half. Usually with me on the bike, 90% of the time.

    Gotta Wait Another 6 Months.

    This is so much better than Winter. Hate Nova Scotia Winters with a passion.

    Pellet Stove Anyone?

    Ordered a Pellet stove a Month or so ago, for that "added" heat this coming Winter. In the meantime, the inside of my Flu collapsed, so I called the Pellet Stove Company up and told them I needed heat NOW and to update my installation for the next day rather than 2 weeks, as scheduled. They...

    Three Great Antique Finds. For a Steal.

    Wife and I went for a drive the other day and stumbled on an "OLD" Antique sign. We stopped and drove up the "Grown In Lane" to the falling down House and Barns. An Old Guy came out and we stated chatting about his Antiques, and the "Out of way location". He showed us what he had in a shed but...

    Anti-Smoker Gets a Punch in The Mouth

    Been a long time since I lost my temper but..... Wife and Daughter was shopping in the Mall so I went outside in the "smoking area" for a puff with my Tim Hortons coffee. Man and Woman comes out of the Liquor Store and puts their purchase in their car. They come over to me and He starts telling...

    Dunhill Found at Antique Shop. A Real Steal

    Regarding my post last week. Today I revisited the Antique to have a look at the pipes that the Owner was going to have for me to look at today. He had 6 but this is the only one I wanted. Dunhill Shell Patent- I make it out to be 1934, Group 4. Can you guess the price I paid, lol, hahahahah, It...

    Flea Markets are a Bust This Year; But Just Maybe...

    No luck at all this year at Flea Markets or Antique Shops. Sure, there are quite a few run of the mill pipes to be had, Grabows, Medico's, etc., but nothing that I want to add to the collection. However, today, while visiting the "Big Red Barn", yes, that is what it is called (you can actually...

    Sicker Than Hell

    They took me from work tonight, to the Emergency Room. I could not take a full breath and was still working away on partial breaths when they came and got me. Bottom line, lung infection, swelling and inflamed and pluericy. After half a dozen tests, the Doc. gave me a shot that enabled me to...

    Day Off With Pay.

    Wife left for work this morning at 6am. I got up at 7:30, made a cup of coffee, filled my Dunny with mixture of CH and Penz. Lit up, took a sip of coffee, turned on the computer and checked out some posts. Turned on the TV and there was an old Western playing with The Duke. Watched that, had...

    Nova Scotia B&M's Are a Big Joke

    I had to go to Kentville today, so I stopped into the Smoke Shop. They sell Cigs, Baccy, Cobs, Petes, Brighams, Medicos, Lighters and other odds and ends. Now by listing this, one would think that it is a pretty decent B&M for a Rural Community, but.............. I asked the Owner how much it...

    WW2 Pipe and Cig Tobacco

    I thought this was kind of cool. Bit pricey but cool for a collector. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/WW2-U-S-Military-Issue-VELVET-Pipe-Cigarette-Tobacco-Box-Un-opened-/121000351459?pt=US_Cigarettes&hash=item1c2c2ed6e3
