Words and Phrases You’ve Come to Hate
This subject crossed my mind the other day while listening to an interview with someone who will be competing in the upcoming summer Olympics. The phrase I’ve come to hate, as it seems to be used by everyone lately when doing an interview is: it was all so surreal. It’s gotten to the point that...- phil67

Spring Weather in the Midwest
At my age this shouldn’t really surprise me, but the last two days here in the Midwest (I live in Chicago) has been insane! Yesterday (Saturday) started out with sunshine and in the mid 30’s. Then the wind picked up and at about 1:30 PM and there was a complete white out of snow which was going...- phil67

Cheap Pipe Kit (!)
Now is your chance to give a try on making your own pipe with a pipe kit for a measly $1.000! The odd thing is that she is selling the same, and or similar pipe kits for $41.95. eBay is a never ending and amusing place to visit just to see the plethora of morons that are taking up my oxygen...- phil67

If you can keep your head when all about you...
An apropos start to one of Rudyard Kipling’s poems ‘If’ as it pertains to this story out of Britain. 13 Aug 2015: British people are often stereotyped as having a stiff upper lip, able to weather tempests without breaking a sweat. If life hands you lemons, make lemonade — that sort of thing. So...- phil67

Penzance Tins @ Mars Cigars
Hey guys, just a quick heads up that Mars Cigars has 2 ounce tins of Penzance @ $10.50 (looks like a 1 tin limit). They had the 8 ounce bags yesterday evening, but they are now sold out. For those that have never tried Penzance and don't wish to pay for an 8 ounce bag here is your chance. A...- phil67

L'Anatra (Two Eggs)?
Ok, I give up! Just what the hell is THIS ugly looking little pecker supposed to be? Perhaps a woodwind instrument such as an oboe that one can smoke? Other than that, just where does the nomenclature ‘Two Egg’ come in?- phil67

One More Neerup In The Coral
I haven’t purchased a pipe in about seven months so I figured it was about time to start off the summer with a new one. That last pipe was a Neerup with a somewhat large bowl that I’ve come to love for smoking Latakia blends. But, aside from the cobs I have that have a similar size bowl that is... -
First Pipe (also made a pipe holder)
It would seem as though the ‘Let’s Carve a Pipe Kit’ project has died which is a real shame. If I remember correctly there was an associated thread for it called ‘Post Then Here’, or something similar to that but I can’t seem to find it any longer. Either way, I finally finished mine. No, it... -

Just my Computer?
Just a strange thing that I’ve noticed for about the past two weeks or so when I’m typing a post and I can’t figure it out. The letters all seem to be faint. For those older folks like me that remember using a typewriter the letters look like the ribbon is running out of ink and are not printing...- phil67

Anybody Want To Smoke a PIPE!
I can’t for the life of me remember where I came upon this pipe, much less who made it, but I obviously took the time to save the image. I’ll grant you that it must have taken some experience and craftsmanship to make such a pipe, but give me a freaking break. I get enough occasional glances...- phil67

Free Home Security!
Something to consider... Being retired and living on a pension I found myself in having to once again cut back on some expenses. So with that, I've disconnected my home alarm system and de-registered from the neighborhood watch. I now have two Pakistani flags raised in the front yard, one at...- phil67

Mac Baren Navy Flake... Opinions
Yesterday evening while paging through the through the P&C catalog I ran across this MB blend and it’s one that, for some reason or another, I had never noticed before. I looked it up on Tobacco Reviews to get somewhat of a handle on it, albeit I don’t always place that much weight on those...- phil67

New Pipe in Celebration!
I’m not one to post every time I make a new purchase, but what with my dubious financial situation and a moment of weakness (not while imbibing :wink: ) I pulled the trigger on a new pipe. My loveable African Grey parrot, by the name of Brandy, that I’ve had for 15 years since she was a baby...- phil67

Going Bald & Loving It
I’m not much of a Latakia fan and my first encounter with it left me totally turned off. Never could stomach the smell much less the taste. Sometime later, and for some inexplicable reason I decided to purchase some Mississippi River and much to my surprise I enjoyed it and I’m on my second tin...- phil67
