Plant Sitting - Need Some Help Here
I have decided, for the time being, to let these plants grow rather than harvest them. The Lord knows my house needs some beauty, and they are indeed beautiful. So I watered and fed the plants, and lo and behold, they grew like crazy and blossomed. So to prevent them from going to seed, at...- gord

***What Are You Smoking, October 2024?***
Progress report. Same picture, same process. Position of dog is now different than the photo however, and he's sleeping. Old dogs mostly sleep. And did start the day off with a Mad Fiddler perique blast, good 20 minute smoke in a McQueen miniature. With cold coffee. A usual fast morning smoke...- gord

***What Are You Smoking, October 2024?***
I have recently seen the real advantages of having a dedicated pipe! I have six or seven now that only see one tobacco. I'm finding it makes a real difference! I'm even thinking in terms of dedicated pairs, like you mention above. Have two pairs already. Wokrs! especially with a favoured...- gord

Passed right over my head - your handle, and the Southern Cross! Now your actions seem not only as not even eccentric, but perfectly appropriate for one with a strong interest area! For your interest, althought I'm sure you know this, here is an outstanding recording of Host's "The Planets"...- gord

Think I'll be smoking a lot of cigars after my just posted ordeal ends on Thursday. I'm still trying to decide whether I like pipes or cigars better. Probably never will!- gord

Here's my agenda for the rest of the week. Final breaking in of the only three pipes I have that are not. All the rest smoke well (some might need a few more puffs), but everything else is smokeable. Details below the picture: Pipes on the white tray of the squalor (I think my best yet...- gord

I'm doing one of those no buy years, too. Still have one new Falcon bowl (untouched and not broken in) and about ten pipes to get to know better. I'm into month two and so far, so good! Mastercard will be overseeing my resolve in this area. :ROFLMAO:- gord

Yesterday afternoon - no surprise here. Same photo as day before yesterday, same pipe, same tobacco, and same great smoke. No need to change what you're satisfied with. However, I tried out some techniques suggested by forum members on the tall and narrow bowls - looser packing and a few other...- gord

I think the membership is putting up inspiring pictures today. I'm seeing an uphill par 4, about 430 yards. The cob is where the tee is, and I'm envisioning drawing my drive into the cleft at the top, and probably an eight iron to the green. Hopefully get close enough to the hole for a shot at a...- gord

Wonderful and for me, nostalgic picture. Very similar to the hilly farm country north of where I live in Prince George BC. I envisioned myself about where you are in the picture, crawling in the grass looking at a lone buck mulie on that sidehill, settling in on my belly waiting for the perfect...- gord

Man, with a little rearranging, that scene you pictured would make a fine closing hole to the 9th green of a fine course. Can't you just picture the waving flag delineating the cup at the back o the green, near the road, which becomes a gravel path leading to a picturesque clubhouse where a...- gord

Here's my morning festivities. Missed a couple of days. Company. Good friend from the Toronto symphony scene days, and former Principal Trumpet of the Victoria Symphony. Left when snow threatened, but also left a pipe smoker - gave him a spare Uncle Henry and he was thrilled. He was also...- gord

Plant Sitting - Need Some Help Here
Looks like you have it! I was informed by the guy who gave them to me, that they are indeed tobacco plants but from a mixture of Oriental tobacco seeds, and his intention was to have me harvest them and try smoking them probably because I favour oriental mixes. Now what do I do? I had seen...- gord
