    NASPC Pipe Show

    I am deliberating on whether to go. I'm in Indianapolis so it's not a bad drive. I've been to Columbus/Dublin before. I'm curious as to whether there would be anything for my wife to do in the area. That's the real challenge lol :roll:

    I'm Confused About Mississississippi River

    Oh Castello , Castello !

    I was also amazed at the quality smoke that my Castello turned out to be. It is the best smoking pipe in my rotation. Remember you could always sell a few of your other pipes that you have acquired to fund another. Congrats! :puffpipe:

    How To Deal With Controversial Opinions

    If I've learned anything as a Criminal Investigator it would be this quote by George Bernard Shaw, "Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it.” That goes for the criminals we arrest and the defense attorneys that represent them (no offense to attorneys, I love attorneys so...
