Old Codger All Day Smoking with One Pipe
My grandfather (actually, step-grandfather but he was the only grandfather I knew) was an auto transmission mechanic. He always took a small pipe to work with him to smoke on his breaks and would pick up a clean shop rag to wipe the bowl out after smoking it. I remember him usually have one of...- pappymac

Mirkwood Alternatives
You could always just call Jon David Cole, the owner of The Country Squire, and ask him nicely to have one of his people make you four or five ounces. Seriously, just call them and ask what they have that is close to Mirkwood/Dark Holler. The Country Squire has a large book of recipes they...- pappymac

Eye Floaters
Definitely see an ophthalmologist for an issue like this. I started seeing floaters and my GP recommended an ophthalmologist when I mentioned it to him. Turns out I had developed retinopathy in my left eye. In my case, I have a blood vessel that is closed off. The treatment I get is an...- pappymac

House, Outside Or Both?
When home I only smoke outdoors and away from my electronic equipment. I've seen what the inside of a computer looks like when its owned by a smoker. I've also always smoked outside because one of our daughters has allergies and asthma and I didn't want to contribute to her problems by smoking...- pappymac

Solitary or Social Smoker?
My wife would sit outside with me occasionally when I smoked a pipe but since she passed, I am primarily a solitary smoker. The exceptions: The monthly pipe club meeting, when one of my sons are visiting (both pipe smokers) or when I go to Whiskey & Ash, which has a big sign on the door "No...- pappymac

Shipping Tobacco
As far as I know, the State of Texas does not prohibit residents from shopping on-line and buying pipe tobacco unlike states like Washington or Massachusetts. So, if the state has no law making it illegal to have tobacco products into the state then there is probably no law or regulation...- pappymac

Anyone Gonna Be Watching The Olympics?
I have no interest in watching most of the Olympic sports but will occasionally watch some of the team sports, the swimming and a few of the track & field events. The wife and I used to enjoy watching the gymnastics but I don't know if I will watch it anymore.- pappymac

Greetings from Fairhope AL
Welcome from Slidell, Louisiana. The wife and I used to make trips to visit the antique/junk shops in your area at least once a year. I have found a couple of good pipes and some other pipe collectibles at the Copper Roof on Fairhope Ave. and Southern Antiques. The big antique shop in Daphne had...- pappymac

Did the Founding Fathers Smoke Pipes?
George Washington was a Burley/Virginia blend that I wouldn't consider an aromatic even though it had a molasses topping. I've always thought it was similar to Carter Hall. My grandfather smoked George Washington until he could buy it anymore. I think it was discontinued around 1974. I still...- pappymac

Did the Founding Fathers Smoke Pipes?
They drank a lot of rum. "During the colonial era, rum was the preferred alcoholic drink of American colonists. By one estimate, colonists consumed 3.7 gallons annually per head by the time of the American Revolution."- pappymac
