What are You Reading Now?
I do so appreciate that the board tolerates comments about serious books. Such venues are hard to come by. Anyway while on Amazon, purportedly to buy a book about how tweaking my brain's programming to enhance health, I instead bought the entirely more mesmerizing titles: John Locke: An Essay...- pepperandjack

Peterson Pipe notes - Laudisi's First Five Years Summary
I used to read complementary posts by those who lauded their new Peterson, saying that at 40 bowls in "she's coming along quite nicely, "which to me was an example of greed by owners who would not apply a bowl coating method congenial to the one who PAID for the pipe and kept them in business...- pepperandjack

Historically, Barlings, Better and Best
OzPiper said: Under the Barlings, quality control was maintained at each step of the process from harvesting and aging the briar to each step of the manufacturing process, packaging and dispatch. This is so good to know, substantiating others recommend of the Family pipes.- pepperandjack

Cellaring- How Long is too Long?
Cellars are of indeterminate size, and are virtual. If you fill up the closet, you can always fill another; however, in doing so you have to accept tobacco's increasing hegemony, as like water it will spread out and fill any space. But one constant in this is how dedicated you are to living the...- pepperandjack

Not All Briar is Equal in Smoking Quality
Dave Neeb has two Barlings for sale, both pre-transition but one designated a "Fossil." It has to be almost 20 years ago, but what I read praised a certain segment of Barlings to the stars. Are the pre-transition pipes those customarily lauded? What does "fossil" mean?- pepperandjack

What's your First Bowl in the Morning ?
Granted that high-octane weedage flavored with the unknown properties of a well-seasoned vehicle could, in the language of IBM admonishing the programmer to be careful, as the instruction might have "unpredictable results," I light the bowls with caution, ready to cease and desist in the advent...- pepperandjack

What's your First Bowl in the Morning ?

Time for a Smoke and a Shiver! (4th Annual)
Shanez, I really appreciate you putting up the three versions of "The Raven." Hearing Lee as Saruman turned me on to his voice, which I never heard in the Hammer Drac movies, probably because it wouls have detracted from him biting all those pretty women:). What I take as his competently...- pepperandjack

Cats & Pipes
I adore animals, dogs, parrots, horses, but most especially cats. Their spirit is sublime, but I don't pretend to understand it. I can observe it and talk about it, but it is beyond me. It is to the spirit in which I stand in adoration. I wish I were a beloved cat. Regular meals, quiet, soft...- pepperandjack

No Restraint and No Logic
When it comes to tobacco and pipes, I have only partial limits. A month ago I was gunning to buy something, and lo and behold, my favorite pipe seller was selling a Vollmer and Nillson billiard for only $475.00. On the spot I bit. I didn't even like the shape of the bowl. But the reputation of...- pepperandjack
