    PAD By Way of Scott Thile

    I had the privilege of meeting master piano technician and magnificent pipe carver extraordinaire Scott Thile at this year’s St. Louis Pipe Show. I desperately wanted to purchase a pipe from his collection but I had spent all my tokens (and then some) earlier in the day. Despite this Scott gave...

    Recent TAD Pick-Ups

    It was a tin from 2006. Quinton Wells, President of the Greater Kansas City Pipe Club amongst many others things, very generously shared with anyone interested in trying at our last club meeting. I do hope your tobacco made it through and smokes as wonderfully as what we smoked. I’d love to hear...

    Confession Time... I Don't Like...

    Contrary to many, I don’t enjoy clenching a pipe while smoking. For the first year I gave it a solid effort but I like the cadence of smoking incorporating my hands. I simply don’t enjoy smoking in 85F degree temps or higher. I’m also not a fan of turning up one’s nose at another smoker’s...

    Confession Time... I Don't Like...

    If I’m not greatly mistaken the last photo of the chap in the suspenders was taken this year at the St Louis Pipe Show. I didn’t get a chance to speak with the gentleman or the group that he was with but they were about 8-10 guys all well dressed and very enthusiastic. Smoking up a storm. As a...

    Look at this Stem! Never Seen This Before

    "Look at this Stem! Never Seen this Before" I certainly have. As a kid Cinnamon Toast Crunch offered in-box connectable pieces of Krazy Straws in rainbow colors. You could connect them so long that even the most seasoned pipe smokers didn't have enough draw strength to get liquid through the...

    Hello and Pleasant Saturday!!

    Welcome! Come on in the elevator and let me know what button to push for you. I’ll push them all regardless! Great tobacco hutch you’ve got going there. You and I have multiple twining items. Same ashtray, tins and what not.

    New and Old

    Welcome aboard. We only have enough space on the lifeboats to hold 1/16th of our members. Thought you should know. You mentioned trashing your briars. Care to share what happened to them?

    P&C Issue Question

    Through the years I haven't had problems with P&C but I have never bought a pipe from them either. Frankly I feel that their pipe retail efforts are dreadful. Their photos are nearly useless. I have been most pleased with their loose tobacco sales as I have never had one go back order and...

    Spell Czech Two The Rest Cue

    I can make out all of it except for your use of "seize" in in the first line. Hoping someone smarter than me gets it so you don't have to explain it. Isn't there a family game like this with misspelled popular sayings that you have to get your teammates to guess correctly?

    A Little Sunday Scene

    Nice peaceful set up. Reminds me that I really do need a decent table for outside. Is this pipe truly designated for all front porch smoking?

    Pipe Rotation; Yes, No, Maybe So?

    They are like friends. Who haven't you seen in a while? Who goes with which mood or sentiment? Who is my secret favorite...shh don't tell the others. Pipe rotation can be about as exciting as the tobacco itself. "Oh i haven't smoked this pipe in a while and gosh do I love it"

    Recent TAD Pick-Ups

    Was recreantly blessed with some aged Peter Heinrich's special Curly. It was such a delight. Truly an elegant smoke. I purchased 200 oz for the cellar. Goodbye for now and see you in hopefully ten years.

    What are You Watching?

    I bit the bullet and finally watched "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull". I swore I would never stoop so low and watch but I did all the same.

    Hello from Latakia-esque California

    Welcome welcome. Spent my first 20 years in CA (southern) and December 2021 will be as many years since my exit. Hope the fires cease and you wind up where’s best for you and yours.

    ***What Are You Smoking, Sept. 2020?

    On the menu tonight is Sleepy Hollow from Straus Tobacconist In Cincinnati, Ohio. The Pipe, a Chris Morgan piece “Arbutus 102” and beanie were a part of a Christmas raffle I lucked out and won in 2019! It’s 55 out and breezy!
