    Chronic wet smoker

    Try smoking from your hand rather than clenching. Even if you are sipping instead of puffing, you can still smoke too hot from sipping too frequently. Also your pipe can't fill with drool if it is mostly held in the hand. This practice is also good training for sipping less when you do clench.

    Black Friday Shopping

    I think the disorganisation part of my brain collaborates with the all the other parts of my brain that can't stand the retail experience! I like a deal, but having to be in a busy shop is just another form of payment for this codger.

    Black Friday Shopping

    I am disorganized enough to miss it by a week...every year. The annual missing of black friday sales has more or less become part of my calendar.

    Crazy Looking Lorenzo T.V. Pipe

    That needs to be paired with a lazy boy, upholstered with heavily textured elephant skin style brown leather!

    Agnostic nostrils? And may you have many more! (years here, not nostrils)

    One of a kind pipe?

    It looks to me like it has been customized by the customer, rather than off the shelf with all those markings...

    G.L. Pease Maltese Falcon

    I enjoyed my one tin of it, but I had left it for years (maybe 10?) before smoking it. Pease gives his blends some exciting names, I think this has the potential to be counterproductive because it builds hype around something that is still 'just tobacco'

    Pipe Blend Ponderings by a Grumpy Old Man Who Doesn't Like Anything

    I have used both RLP - 6 and its base cavendish, BCA, as sweetener that I have added in small doses to virginia and/or burley...it is suprising how little you need of that classic lane cavendish in a blend to get that familiar sweet spot...I wonder if you need to design your own blend that you...

    So Much Information Everywhere, Yet..

    I nearly always use up/over extend my own tolerances for daily social interaction on the three lovely family members I share a home with...I will go to a bar if it is an invitation that I cannot figure out a polite way of turning down, but NEVER of my own volition...so about once a year.

    Sour pipe bad, sour tobacco good?

    I guess its a dick move to call out your metaphor, but wouldn't you just go outside to see an unspoiled view of your surroundings, regardless of how clean or dirty your windows were?

    Sour pipe bad, sour tobacco good?
