    La Cosa Trucksta

    I thought I had posted this earlier, but it doesn’t seem to have populated. I’ll try again. First off, I’ll admit the photo in this post doesn’t do justice to how funny this truck appeared in person. But when my wife and I saw it, we had a good laugh. Capisce? Here’s the story. Saw this...

    My First Peterson

    Mine is a 317 Standard system. I actually wrote it on the little paper in the box bc I’m generally daft when it comes to year, make, and model of various pipes. I realized years ago that I enjoy them just as much even if I don’t have a clue what the heck pipe I have in hand. Turns out the...

    Well, that’s some high praise! Alas, I’m afraid this must be an instance of accidental intelligence on my part.

    My First Peterson

    Lol. Let me clarify. The wife is a doctor. The people who go watch ball drop are here’s like into those sectioned-off pens in Times Square, & they have to arrive several hours prior from what I understand, for crowd control & safety measures. Sounds miserable. And idk what they do about...

    My First Peterson

    Yes, I’ve heard nothing but good things about the p-lip. I don’t find it unpleasant at all, just different. I think I anticipated it would be basically similar to a button. I’m looking forward to my next few smokes with it.

    My First Peterson

    So far so good. Maiden smoke was last night. P-lip took a little getting used to. Not unpleasant, just different. Had to insert the stem a tad farther than I usually do. But it was clean smoked, cool, and the pipe stayed remarkably well for a first smoke. My dad loves his, too. I can see myself...

    My First Peterson

    Thanks! She’s amazing, gorgeous, a freakin’ Ph. D., way more intelligent, accomplished, and perfect than I’ll ever be. And loads of fun. I’m one blessed man.

    My First Peterson

    One year & nine days ago my wife gave me a birthday present. I tore the paper off, & there it was. A beautiful green box emblazoned with the last name of my 8-year-old daughter’s piano teacher. Now, Mrs. Peterson is short, & well-kempt for her age, not altogether unattractive, but I certainly...

    Gremlins

    It holds up, actually. But I think that’s bc even originally, it never tried to be anything other than what it is.

    Gremlins

    Sounds perfect to me!

    Gremlins

    I’m a little nuts. I like the tree to go up Oct. 1, and stay up til Feb. 1. Xmas music starts Sept. 1. Movies start whoever my wife says they do. She’s more the TV watcher than I am. But she hates putting the tree up so early bc it messes with her decorations for the fall season or something. So...

    Gremlins

    We’ve started our family Xmas movie blast where we watch some great classics, some newer favorites, & some really awful flicks the kids pick over the next 45 days or so. We watched Gremlins a couple nights ago. I had forgotten what a fine piece of American cinema that film is. Hadn’t seen it...

    Reaming a Meerschaum

    Ahhh, now that makes sense. I actually ream my briars regularly. And I usually wipe down a meerschaum with a baby wipe or a wet paper towel after each smoke. But I’ve let one get away from me. Thx for the info.

    Reaming a Meerschaum

    I’m promise I won’t Google anything about porcupines. Seriously. I swear.

    Reaming a Meerschaum

    Any tips for reaming a meerschaum? Need to scrape a little cake, but figured I shouldn’t be as aggressive with ye olde reamer on a mere as I am with a briar.

    😂😂😂 I love this website.

    Deertongue, Anyone?

    Ok. So after reading through these posts, I’ve come to the conclusion that what I’m reacting to that’s reminiscent of those Ashton VSG cigars must the burley in Crooner. I’m also gonna have to try some of these other blends you guys have mentioned, bc I don’t get even a hint of vanilla, spice...

    Deertongue, Anyone?

    Oh, deer. You clearly haven’t met the right doe yet. There was this one time I was in the woods naked, and … well, never mind.

    Deertongue, Anyone?

    I have found it rather peculiar how strongly some folks respond to the mention of it.

    Deertongue, Anyone?

    I almost exclusively smoke it in my meerschaum. Every once in a while, I’ll smoke a bowl in a briar, but not very often.
