    That incredible Zen...

    Santiago, this is one reason I smoke. I live in a high rise near a small airport that is only serviced by small aircraft. I sooo look forward to relaxing on our balcony as the sun sets, light up my pipe, lean back, and watch the planes takeoff and land from Cartegena, Bogota or Medellin. The...

    Being Honest.

    Where is authenticity in society anymore? With social media driving world events, nothing is real. Nothing is honest anymore. If it's not some influencer trying to impress while their private life desintigrates, or youtubers doing stupid stuff for clicks, to government social media accounts...

    How Many of you are Divorced?

    Married 18 years and got divorced. It was never about being "happy" or searching for something. It was about two people who couldn't function together anymore. Loyalty, trust, lack of respect... once lost, are next to impossible to repair, despite the best of intentions. I'm married now to the...

    From Cigars to Pipes or Pipes to Cigars?

    I smoke both, preferably VegaFina cigars, but pipe smoking, for me, is more relaxing, meditative. Not sure why because I like them both. But, pipe smoking is easier on the wallet.

A lot of them have been through WW2 in Europe so it really makes you think about the history of what they've survived through. Like you said, we're just...

    What A Treat

    Turns out it wasn't a makers mark. The word was EBONI, the "e" is almost rubbed out, spanish for ebony, a dense black/brown hardwood.

    What A Treat

    It got me to thinking, all our pipes we think of as ours. But in the end, if we take are of them, there may be a good chance that someone else, a stranger, is going to be smoking it down the road. Like all things in life, we never truly own anything.

    What A Treat

    There's a makers mark on it but it's hard to read. I'm going to try a couple of things to see if I can make it out.

    What A Treat

    One of my wifes brothers found an old pipe of their father and recently gave it to us. Her father passed away in 1975 when she was just a teenager. He was a gold miner here in Colombia back in the day and she said she always remembered him smoking this pipe while loading his mules. This...
