    Who Smokes With Their Eyes Closed?

    I most often smoke alone and during the evening. Closing my eyes while smoking is part of my winding down process. It’s very meditative to tune the noise out and only hear what I want. The world melts away but the crickets and the breeze get louder. I’ve noticed my puffing cadence hits a perfect...

    Lack Of Pipe Smoke Is Stressing Me Out!

    I feel your pain. I haven’t had a pipe or cigar since July 13th. I tested positive for covid even though I’m fully vaccinated and haven’t been able to smoke. Still no taste or smell. Smoking a pipe or cigar is like puffing tasteless hot air. Not a lot of pleasure in it.

    What Hobbies Have You Fallen Out Of?

    Most are covered in mineral oil and in storage. This one is my daily driver. Griswold #8 slant logo. 1906-1916?? Use it for biscuits and cornbread only. Smooth as a baby’s butt.

    What Hobbies Have You Fallen Out Of?

    I collected and restored old cast iron cookware, mostly from turn of the century. It was inexpensive at the time and useable once restoration was complete.

    Why I Like The Savinelli 404 Yacht

    I completely understand. The author shape is mine. I think they are beautiful pipes but I don’t enjoy smoking them. They feel awkward when clenching or holding in my hand. I suppose I could smoke the yachtsman and marvel at the authors. ?

    Peter Stokkebye: PS400 Luxury Navy Flake

    It’s pretty scrumptious stuff with some age on it. I’m a big fan of LNF and LBF. I’m stacked pretty deep in both.

    Why I Like The Savinelli 404 Yacht

    I have always been partial to a Zulu/yacht shaped pipe. I have several Sav 404/8404’s as well as Peterson 268’s. Peterson does the shape a little better in my opinion. Wouldn’t toss out the Savinelli though.

    How Do You Cut Yours?

    One of my favorite memories of watching the Three Stooges is where Curly gnaws the cap off the end of a cigar and turns to spit it out. Ka-pow!...it lands right on an unsuspecting lady's neck. Being offended, she slaps Curly and a fight breaks out. Those guys knew comedy!

    Opinions on Semois

    Had all three versions of Manil Semois. Didn’t do anything for me. I’m not much of a burley smoker. I’m a Virginia kind of guy.

    Questionable Picture From The Olympics.

    Yeah, I see it. Strangely, I could find a muff in a box of roofing racks if I stared at it long enough. It’s a talent I picked up in college.

    New from Orlando

    Corona Cigars in the Dr. Phillips area had a few Dunhill tins last time I was there. There were no Dark Flake tins so I didn’t look twice.
