    What Makes a Great Work of Art?

    To put it simply, art is what you think qualifies as art. That's the beauty of art. It doesn't matter if someone doesn't "like" it. That's almost the point of art. Evoking either a shoulder shrug or a passion. Music, writing, architecture, nature, some guy beating on a garbage can, business...

    Cigar Leaf

    John Patton's Storm Front is one of my favorites. As mentioned, 4Noggins regularly carries it. Seems very well balanced and does not overpower with anything. Especially good for someone sticking their toe into the pool of cigar leafed pipe tobacco.

    To Ghost or not to Ghost?

    Nah, smoke whatever you like in the same pipe. BTW, what is your weight and religion?

    Numb and Dry Mouth

    First thing that came to my mind......... Are you on any meds? Some medication makes your mouth dry up. Especially if you are smoking or talking a lot. Also, certain foods will do that.

    People Must Say Something

    God invented cars so that women would get out of them while wearing short skirts. Thank you God. ?? And BTW..... Throw the cow over the fence.... some hay.

    A Few Questions.......

    I don't recommend inhaling pipe tobacco or cigars. It kind of kills the good part of the taste for me and reminds me of my cigarette days. Some people claim you should have separate pipes for different tobaccos. I've never done that and I am a happy piper but I'm not that sensitive to what...

    People Must Say Something

    I agree. I'm a people and I've said something too many times...... and I don't even drink alcohol.

    To All You Clenchers Out There

    I like those rubber stem bits. When smoking I keep the pipe in my mouth and while I don't chew or bite down hard, I do keep a firm hold on it with my teeth. I use them on all my pipes. They just feel better on my teeth than a naked stem. They also keep my pipe from slipping out of my mouth...

    The Workers Smoke

    I smoke the same thing when I work as when I don't work. I work from home so take it with a grain of salt but I can't imagine smoking something different just because I'm working.

    RIP Michael K Williams. The Wire & Boardwalk Empire Star.

    Every time I'd see him in anything, I'd say, "That guy was perfectly cast". He picked his roles carefully and didn't work in just anything that came along. He had great management that let him do his thing. He was a true pro actor that was going to be a household name at some point.

    Watch Out or Watch on? Pt 2.

    I'm a big fan of Ball watches. I currently have 4 but I've had several throughout the years. I also have the same Kontiki with a black dial. Solidly made watches.

    Watch Out or Watch on? Pt 2.

    Here are 4 of the watches in my daily wear watch box. There are 16 more in the watch box and 10 in my safe. I do like watches.

    All Day Blends

    It all depends on what your preferences are and just how strong a tobacco you like. An all day blend can be anything and everything. I think that's what's so interesting about tobaccos and pipe smoking. My all day blend is C&D Night Train....... but also Penzance.... and Dan Tobaccos's...

    eBay has Its Way

    You know eBay has problems when one of my next door neighbors that is know as "Mr. Tech" to all the neighbors due to his knowledge, love and high income from new technology, can't get things done on eBay without complaining about how confusing eBay is.

    Lightning a Pipe While It's Upside Down

    Hmmm......? For some strange reason it makes me wonder if I could smoke a pipe while sky diving.?

    Plum Pudding Time...

    I haven't smoked the standard Plum Pudding so I can't compare it to that. I like it but for me it's a heavy yet flavorful smoke. Not sure why it feels so thick and heavy. It may be that it's a bit on the wet side or something. I smoke it occasionally after a big meal with red wine but I...

    Looking For A Really Good Pipe Lighter

    That is something to consider. I have to carry both but found it's worth it. Also, those Old Boy tools are kind of short if you have a pipe with a deep bowl.

    Looking For A Really Good Pipe Lighter

    I've tried a lot of high end lighters and they really don't offer much more than what's been recommended a million times. A Zippo. I recommend a Zippo of your choice and replace the insert with a butane insert so you don't have to deal with the lighter fluid smell and taste . You'll have a...
