    A Little Humor for the Day 2025

    Y’all Are A Bad Influence

    The first step is admitting you have a problem. The next step is finding a group to convince you it isn't a problem...

    Jeans Are Longer Now Days.

    The big change in 501s that I've noticed is the fabric doesn't last. They used to be durable. Not the couple of pairs I've bought in the last 5 years. And I don't wear jeans as often as I used to, but the fabric wears out, mainly at the top of the back pockets.

    Big Ben Ranger has a reservoir?

    I wondered about that. Mine was probably from the late 90s or early 00s judging from the other pipes available where I got them.

    Big Ben Ranger has a reservoir?

    Thanks for the suggestions guys. I had figured as well that the way it was supposed to work was like a calabash with a condenser added for good measure. Makes me really appreciate the engineering of these little pipes and explains how you can get a 50-70 minute smoke out of them. Smoking the...

    Big Ben Ranger has a reservoir?

    I have a Big Ben Pipo and a Ranger, and they're probably my most-used pipes. Had them for 4 or 5 years now. I do use the stingers and have been cleaning them regularly. What I discovered today is that, in between the draft hole and the mortise, there's about a 3/8" section that's more narrow...

    G.L. Pease: Silver Jubilee

    I very respectfully disagree. I have generally found your reviews to be helpful and informative, and these were not exceptions. They very clearly indicate two distinct blends with different ingredients and different flavor profiles. I believe most of us who enjoy your reviews wouldn't get the...

    G.L. Pease: Silver Jubilee

    I re-read Jim's Review of this and the last Sansepolcro, and think I've got to let this one go by. I'm sure it's great but dang, Mr. Pease, I can't try everything! I'll probably change my mind tomorrow and it'll be too late...

    What is your Favorite Christmas Blend?

    Now that Thanksgiving is over and my wife's new 9ft inflatable apatosaurus with Santa clinging on back for dear life is properly displayed- I'm with Brad and Bob: Corn Cob Pipe. Smells and tastes like a good mug of dark hot chocolate. If I remember right its first release was a cube cut. I would...
