    How Do You Store Your Pipes ?

    Gentlemen, all I can say is I am fully impressed. Some by piece, some by ingenuity and some by simplicity. Surely one size (or design) does not fit all, yet what an obviously devoted group nonetheless! Hats off to all who posted pics! Here's my recent find in the process of being re-felted.

    The Trouble with Moving

    While I enjoy most of my tobacco on my 3rd floor deck and keep enough "go to" leaf and a humidor there, I also have 300sf workshop/walk-in humidor (naturally 67 percent humidity) on the 1st floor. The occasional story about the huge jumping spiders lurking there are enough to keep this space...

    Do You Smoke for a Nic-Hit?

    Happy Sunday Morning

    Never knew about about those flat boxes until one day while at the Post office in Huntington, Long Island I saw a gentleman pick one up at the counter. He was the owner of Makinajian Poultry Farm. I asked him about the noise emanating from the box and he explained they were chicks. A subsequent...

    What Is Your GoTo Lighter?

    I believe I purchased my first from P&C (Checked, now $17.99). Second from Ebay for $15 flat incl shipping. I consider the tank ample, certainly as compared to the Zippo butane insert which was an unmitigated disaster. I like the faux leather feel in my hand.

    The Country Squire Old Toby

    Recently ordered Old Toby as part of a sampler pack from Country Squire. Top notch organization and the gal I spoke with (sorry forgot her name) was a gem. This smoke was quite pleasant and although I haven't tried alll of them yet, will be reordered in bulk along with Rivendell.

    Hello From The Gulf Coast of Florida

    Well my friend, who would have thought you were so close! Although I rarely travel to North County due to traffic, I was in your neck of the woods yesterday at the Antique Alley. Are you familiar? I scored a beautiful hand crafted 30 pipe display cabinet there that made the trip worthwhile. If I...
