    Tin Storage Idea

    I won't do it, but a wacky idea would be to put the magnetic strip on the ceiling and access the tins with a reacher.

    Better Call Saul Better Be Good.

    I liked the PBS series All Creatures Great and Small. It's sentimental and feel-goody, but unusually well scripted, acted, filmed and edited. For a mob movie fix, without committing to a whole series that takes many hours, I liked "The Irishman" with Robert DeNiro, playing the character from...

    Hi All, New!

    Hey from central North Carolina. What state or country are you in? What brand of pipe or pipes do you own? What blend or blends have you tried smoking? Any questions on the pipe smoking process? Welcome aboard.

    Milwaukee, WI B&M

    Door County is gorgeous. Take in a fish boil if possible, a fine old Wisconsin tradition. At the end of my hitch in the Navy, I was assigned to the recruiting station in Milwaukee for about eight months before getting out of the Navy about a month early to attend school. Saving up for...

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2023?***

    Two bowls of SG&Co. Squadron Leader special edition with Perique in a Peterson bent Dublin and a Nording zebra hunting pipe carved with stripes and with an extra long stem.

    Jim's C&D Warped Midsommar Review.

    Thank you for that, a lot packed into a brief review. It sounds like it has some complexity that would hit some smokers just right and not appeal to others much at all. The burley and rum might carry it for me.

    Connecticut Shade observations

    Living in the Tobacco Belt, North Carolina, I always thought it was an interesting fact that Connecticut was a solid tobacco producer, especially the cigar wrapper leaf, as I read about it. So now it turns out I can cross that off my list of amazing facts. It still is surprising that...

    Spence Vs Crawford

    After seeing what a career did to Muhammed Ali who was a champion and made multiple come-backs and a heroic standoff with Parkinsons, it's hard to imagine what people would see in a more injurious bare fisted sport. It's dangerous to the fighters. Possibly much more dangerous to the...

    Kapp pipe?

    It could be a later effort at a sub-brand that didn't last. I have a nifty smaller Peterson, a quarter bent smooth Dublin, that is stamped Peterson Dublin Edition D4 which seems to be a limited production not widely offered. It came unfinished but now has colored to appear stained, without...

    Kapp pipe?

    Sounds like an early iteration of the Peterson ownership. I don't know the history of Peterson in detail, but that's my guess.

    How Do The New Parker Pipes Smoke?

    My Parker is about twelve years old, not a classic Parker, and not new. It's a slightly bent blast poker. It's light weight with an ample bowl. My only complaint is that its draw is a little tight. I may give it deep clean to see if that helps. If I did a culling of the herd right now, it...

    How Do You Take Your Coffee?

    Regretfully, decaf, for health reasons. Otherwise, stovetop percolator coffee is my thing, though I make my wife French press for her every morning. I put just enough milk in mine to cut the acidity, and sometimes finish the pot drinking it black. When I first announced on Forums that I drank...

    Lakeland vs Aromatic

    I have to admit, to the tourist, which I was, on a not-too-rainy day, the Lake District looks like paradise. One evening we took in an English music hall performance, a lot of Nineteenth Century nostalgia, with many tourists in the audience, but true to the region I think. Having read some...

    Any of you Guys Dance?

    I went to one of those junior high dance classes and took it seriously, to just not embarrass myself in front of the young girls. No one commended my dancing. I have never quite got the waltz step. I could cha-cha, and jitter bug (and the subsequent ad lib dancing of the sixties) were pretty...

    Spence Vs Crawford

    Fun to watch, not so fun to live through. I had a friend who was good, but after he won his first fight, he had a reckoning. If he felt that bad physically after winning, what would it be to lose a fight? Too many of us are brain damaged without ever boxing a single round.

    What Are You Drinking? July 2023

    A California rose wine called Grandeur. It went pretty well with a salami and lettuce sandwich on sourdough bread and Doritos.

    Gus’s Smoke Shop

    That's quite a saga of a pipe shop. Most places never get turned over even once. Once the original pipe shop proprietor leaves or retires, the place goes empty or up for rental and ends up a real estate office or something. The Park Ridge Pipe Shop just outside Chicago had about 25 glory...

    My First Dunhill

    What a handsome inheritance and legacy, and what a good family to allow an 11-year-old to take them on.

    Good afternoon from CA

    Hey from central North Carolina. I spent some time in California with the Navy and on subsequent trips at various times. I liked the run up the coastal highway to Mendocino. Welcome aboard.

    An Offal(ly) Good Lunch

    Some of the food sounds enticing, and other of it sounds off-putting to my provincial tastes, but the presentation is most tasteful and sophisticated. I suspect the invited guests were selected for their culinary adventurousness and would have not missed a single course.
