    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024

    After our recent loss, Holly and I decided to make a trek back to Athens, GA - where my bitches were from. Here's a Tabak Especial (Maduro this time) in celebrating the life of our lost friend. Enjoyed at Terrapin Brewing.

    Conflicting Pipe Smoking Advice!

    Agreed, though my previous post had been much more serious. I try to contribute before ever I troll.

    Favorite Cigarillos?

    The more I smoke cigars, the more I realize I don't have the patience for them as often as I'd like. As a southerner, I don't prefer to smoke outdoors in the summer, and this is doubtlessly factoring into my mentality. The recent solution has been to opt for cigarillos. I've been a fan of this...

    Famous Historical Pipe Smokers

    I've been reading through Caro's 5 part series on LBJ and came across this fella. Former TX governor Coke Stevenson was well-known for his pipe smoking. He spoke little, giving his thoughts only after listening intently to all discussions while he smoked his pipe. It was considered the trademark...

    Conflicting Pipe Smoking Advice!

    In my opinion, pipe smoking is an act of intuition. Intuition has to be developed, and it can be done in a number of ways, hence the amount and variety of advice out there. If you're learning to play guitar, a folk guitarist will tell you that finger picking is the only way to do it, whereas a...

    Under 30 Pipe Smoker Corey Hays on Radio Show of July 23, 2024

    I apologize in advance for diving into your intro rather than the fantastic interview with Corey and/or the rant on the Olympics, but the High Roller intro drew me in and I feel I must comment on it... In November of last year, I saw a post pop up on the tobacco sell/exchange section of the...

    What Hearts Are For

    Your comments are very much appreciated, my friend. And I agree; comedy and poetry have always been my coping mechanisms. When my great grandfather was soon to pass away (he was my father figure in my formative years) I went with my mom to clean up his house while he was in the hospital. They...

    What Hearts Are For

    That Woody Allen comment had me laughing, and I needed that. He's a peculiar fellow, and yet Midnight in Paris is still my favorite movie.

    What Hearts Are For

    Today marked the end. We were thankful to have a little more time - those steroids prescribed made us feel like we had a semblance of our companion back - by the degradation continued. I wrote a poem for her a week ago today. For simplicity I've just called it "Luna 7.16.24." My apologies if...

    Did the Founding Fathers Smoke Pipes?

    Most did, resulting from a lack of affording it. Most of our snuff was sold to the British, and one of the problems at the outbreak of the war was that the British didn't allow us to sell it to anyone else - i.e. the French. The French had become some of the most prodigious snuffers in the...

    Did the Founding Fathers Smoke Pipes?

    Very likely. From what Gately's book deduced, snuff was a prized military possession from the rise of the English empire until the Vietnam War.

    Did the Founding Fathers Smoke Pipes?

    It's hard to say with any certainty who specifically smoked a pipe, since pipes weren't especially prevalent in America at the time. Iain Gately claims that every president until John Tyler was a tobacco user of one kind or another, but their methods varied. Members of high society usually...
