    Life After McClelland

    It's been a couple of years since McClelland shut down, and I just finished the last of my 40th anniversary. I have a tin of #24 left, but that's it. Has anybody found an alternative that's even close? Anyone have some you're willing to sell? Somebody help!

    Brands and Shapes-Why Do You Like Them?

    I like Savinellis (most of my collection), and Stanwells, some BenWade freehands for a large bowl and long reflective smoke, Grabows for the quality of the early sandblasts and consistently great smoke, and particularly in bent bulldog shapes in most of my pipes. Bent Bulldogs because of the...

    What Blend Have You Discovered This Year?

    Three for me--Stonehaven, Old Dark Fired, and Bold Kentucky. I'm a new fan of these three, especially the Old Dark Fired. Guess I discovered Kentucky blends this year. Also , most recently, discovered McClellan 40th Anniv. Looks like it's been a good 2017!

    Coming up to Retirement

    Congratulations, Mike. I'm about two years behind you for retirement, but I'll probably do something like you've planned when I do. If it's a Dunhill you want, search for the one you like, old or new, and smoke it with a satisfied mind. And your tattoo seems to suggest something important to...

    Godless on Netflix

    I've watched the first two episodes. I love westerns, and this one has lots of interesting characters. Frank Griffin is a bit reminiscent of Judge Holden in Cormac McCarty's Blood Meridian, although not as deep , and not as cold-blooded. An unusual role for Jeff Daniels, put he pulls it off...
