Chicago 2024: Who's going?
The Livestream is available HERE. It was great fun. Although it is on Jeff the Chef's channel, yours truly was the cameraman. We had originally planned to have the camera mounted on a tripod because we wanted to be sure not to get in the way of the carvers or obstruct the view of any of the...- craiginthecorn

Indian River Tobacco Traders - Newaygo Michigan
I haven't been to the location that you mentioned, but have been to their shop in Wyoming, MI, just outside of Grand Rapids. They had a fairly extensive array of pipes and pipe tobacco at that time, which was in about 2018.- craiginthecorn

Chicago 2024: Who's going?
Took me a few seconds. Yep, progress is slow, but little by little, most of the remains of Pheasant Run are being demolished. Looks a little like the Tower of Terror at the moment.- craiginthecorn

Has Peterson Quality Suffered in Recent Years?
As an owner of easily 50 Petersons (along with many artisan-made pipes costing much more than my most valuable Pete), I can say that since Laudisi acquired Peterson, I have only seen the quality improve. Sure, I still see an occasional legitimate issue reported, but given the volume of pipes...- craiginthecorn
