    The cliché question: why can't my pipe stay lit?

    That's what you get for staying away so long. If you only called on your girlfriend every five years would you expect a warm welcome?

    Snowy Weather Smoke

    Your favorite tobacco, no matter what it is, will only be better in the snow. My current favorite is Old Dark Fired. Just be sure to dress for the conditions. (Cool picture, coalsmoke.)

    Making the cob even better

    I like the Forever Stems. They can turn an acceptable pipe into a good one. Forever Stems

    Beards and Beard Oil

    I just change the diesel oil in my beard every 100 hours, or whenever I need to change the fuel filters. There's nothing like the smell of fresh diesel. 8O

    More Thoughts on Aging

    I am 60 years old. My car, which I bought new in 1984 is now 30 years old. I've had my car exactly one half of my life! Does that mean I'm getting old? I know my car is. Kevin promised me a new Mercedes if I get to 5000 posts by the end of the year. I don't think I'll make it.
