    What are You Listening To? ~ September, 2021

    A bit of my home town from Van Morrison. I used to skip school to go to his concerts.

    Latakia %%%

    I totally agree that "the same old question" can bring on totally different answers within a few months and new pipe smokers are far and few in-between so we should treat them respectfully. I have always welcomed "same old questions" because there always is very different answers after the...

    Tough Day for a Good Boy

    The worst part of owning a great dog is the last day. Brings out all kinds of emotions you never thought you had. I've been through a few German Shepherds and it's not easy at all. Stay well.

    Am I Missing Something

    Yes. You are missing an actual subject to your question. I can help....... You are missing out on speaking several languages. How much fun it is to own a cute chimpanzee as a cuddly pet. What it's like to have a cute chimpanzee tear your face off when you try to cuddle. What it feels like to...

    Latakia %%%

    Very odd that the OP never has anything to say after asking a question and will never answer any question. Interesting questions, typical of a new pipe smoker but I do wonder what's up...... ?

    Proposed Tobacco Taxes

    I'm glad I've over-purchased and was expecting another slam on tobacco.

    RIP Norm Macdonald

    He was a witty, natural comedian on stage and quite the same in his private life. I was waiting for a Norm MacDonald come-back soon. I guess not. RIP. ?

    Cigar Shops and Pipe Smokers

    I don't go into pipe and cigar stores much anymore. I used to spend quite a bit of time in them. I haven't done so in many years but I don't think there will ever be another tobacco store as welcoming and comfortable for both pipe and cigar smokers as Sherlocks Haven was in San Francisco...

    Do You Like the Taste of a Really Good Cigar?

    I like all type of cigar leaf. Depends on the mood I'm in or the circumstances. When I know I will have a lot of time on my hands, I tend to smoke 48-50 gauge 5-7", mild-medium cigars like Macanudo Hyde Park, Romeo y Julieta 1875 or my favorite cigar of all time, Arturo Fuentes Double Chateau...

    Fire in the Hole!

    I'm an ex-artilleryman. "Fire in the hole.... Ready..... Fire!" Ahhhh, I miss the smell of burnt powder in the morning.....

    My first Attempt at a Freehand Pipe ..

    That's your FIRST attempt? Very nice indeed. You found your calling. At least in the looks department.

    Where to Buy OTCs Over an Actual Counter?

    In California we have many places to buy OTC blends........ all you have to do is drive to Nevada. (Thank you Rob Reiner). I was recently in Washington State and was surprised to see Sir Walter Raleigh and Half and Half being sold at an Albertsons grocery store. Of course it's hidden as if it...

    A Rumination of Ruminating on Ruminants

    I think all computers and phones have some kind of dictionary........ go for it!

    A Rumination on the Attempted Coloring of a Meerschaum

    The main thing that strikes me about this thread (and others like it) is that it's a lot of fun to play around with your meerschaum pipes. After all, that's why we like pipes. It's not just the smoke. It's the fiddling about!

    Hello From My Little Tip of Tacoma

    I'm good with that..... if it's organic, gluten-free and grown with sanctified horse manure. Can I smoke arugula? Humm.......

    Hello From My Little Tip of Tacoma

    Yes. We smoke it and then pray to it while wearing a tutu and tiara....... after we do yoga with the goat of course.

    9/11 Memories

    I was listening to Howard Stern on my way to work from Petaluma Ca to San Francisco to start another what seemed like a routine, normal day. By the time I got to the Golden Gate Bridge, they were talking about a possibility of a hit on another national landmark........ and there I was on the...

    Hello From My Little Tip of Tacoma

    Welcome to the forum from Tiburon Ca. (Not all of us eat kale).

    1 Thing?

    I've got that all planned out ? ....... but what you plan to do when and if there's a fire in your house can always go sideways very quickly. It's tough to plan what to do when there are fires and robberies. But I think I'd grab my wife, the dog and some kind of shoes. Then I'd sit there on...

    What Makes a Great Work of Art?

    I usually end up understanding art that I didn't understand before when someone pipes up with, "I don't get it" when they look at it. It makes me think twice about what's going on.
