    Early Bird Club

    Yeah, another light dusting here, as well. I love to see it, and I dread the inevitable hot weather. Getting my head together with Classic Burley Kake. In a cob. I haven't touched a briar in about three weeks now - no reason, it's just that the cobs are sooo good with burley!

    Starting A Pipe Show

    I've marked it on my calendar, and will be looking for updates. Chattanooga is a little to far to attend the Pipe Club, but a show would be an excellent day trip. Good luck!!

    Early Bird Club

    Finally got a little snow in East Tennessee - not enuff to keep me out of work, though. Good morning, all! Let's have some Butternut Burley in this new cob!

    The Theory Behind Aging Tobaccco

    Mike's theory makes sense to me. IF aging is caused by microbes, and; IF said microbes eat carbon dioxide, and; IF an abundance of CO2 causes the little devils to live and breed faster, THEN, more generations of microbes acting on the tobacco would make those changes happen sooner. But I'm not a...

    Favorite Cob

    Good to see you around, Top! Apparently, it was a bad year for the cobs. From the MM website: "Due to a temporary shortage of cobs with large diameters, the bowl of the Apple shape is smaller than normal, but still has the familiar, comfortable feel in your hand." Or two years ago. Don't they...

    Favorite Cob

    I really like my Diplomat, in the apple shape. I plan on ordering at least 3 more.

    Early Bird Club

    A broken coffee maker would be cause for mayhem at home and at work. The boss is sick today, which should be fun, except that I'll have to boss in her place. Getting warmed up with Bull Run in a cob.

    Heh heh... he said "wagstaff"... Srsly, tho, I have a couple of bulldogs with odd names that seem to be un-researchable. My opinion is that mine were made by small French factories in the fifties. (One is Algerian briar.) Really the only way to find out is exactly what you are doing, ask...
