    I think he is saying that over the last 14 months he has listened an average of just under 28 hours a month. My own family doesn't listen to me that much. I don't think I could listen to me that much:col: Thanks for making it all the way through them!

    Hurricane To Wipe Out Entire Virginia Crop

    My state of North Carolina reported 360 million pounds of Virginia tobacco last year. 150 million pound loss is not out of the question because the 2nd growth of the year would still be in the fields now. Of course 99% of that is cigarette leaf. As of this morning the hurricane is projected...

    Disney Pipe On EBay

    Never mind. I see the black pipe was sold accepting a best offer. I thought the price was high even though the pipe was un-smoked. That finish is not one I think I have seen before so that does make it rare. I hope if it smokes well for whoever bought it for a long time.

    Disney Pipe On EBay

    I am going to guess and say that the brown one is from the Charatan factory but, that is just a best guess. I have confirmation that the stamps were owned by Disney and had to be returned with the shipment of pipes. If a new company got the bid then the stamp would go out and then back with...
