    Blood Donation

    I'm up to 15 gallons in platelets! I used to donate a triple unit every 2 weeks like clock work in Sacramento. Now, in San Jose, the closest center is an hour away. I hope to start up again eventually. I had to be careful on pipe club days. No virgina or burley for me! Otherwise I'd be...

    West Coast Pipe Show Dinner?

    The dinner is good. Buffet style with 3 courses covered. Someone will give a keynote speech. And usually there is a tobacco exhibition. Look who the speaker is. If you know him it might be worth it. It's fun and adds to the experience.

    CPCC Ivarson Auctions

    Anyone know what the Ivarson pipes went for? I think everyone should thank Lars for single handedly taking care of Friday dinner next year.

    Rant About Chicago Tolls

    I too was taken by surprise by the tools. Normally Google warns me or there is a sign so I can choose an alternate route. Lucky I had cash. I normally do not.

    Mystery Peterson Pipe

    So interesting. I have 5 Mark Twains from the 80's and I have never seen a rusticated one. Good find!

    Chicago Pipe Show 2016 Sound Off!

    @weedsnager. Yep. I am dropping the wife off in Grand Junction, but I will be with Timothy Dowell selling estate pipes. Look for the 2 deary eyed guys across from a couple of hundred pipes.

    It Was A Good Day In My Mailbox! Happy Friday!

    ]Today's ual![/url] Today I got my March caption winnings! (Shirt and 2 tins) I got my Pipe Collector. I got 20 pipe stands from Smoking Pipes (gotta keep organized!). And 2 8oz bags of Margate of eBay. Now I just have to decide if I'm going to open the Margate or not.

    Tobacco on eBay

    All too true. Going to take a risk. Let you know if I'm lucky.

    Tobacco on eBay

    Well, I understand bureaucratic hoops...I live in California. Do I have any recourse if the tobacco is bad?

    Tobacco on eBay

    Can someone tell me why the tobacco auctions on eBay always say that the cost is for the packaging (which is collectible) and while the tin/pouch is sealed the tobacco inside in not for consumption. Is this to get around some test from eBay?

    Finally Organized My Stash! (Pics)

    Thanks everyone. I'll have to rearrange after Chicago. @cigrmaster, My wife was sick and tired of having an unpacked box in the house. She helped in the organization. @delkhourim Yes it is! I got that pipe roll, tobacco mat and stand (the Peterson is in it) from Sorringowl in Vegas last year.

    Finally Organized My Stash! (Pics)

    So I finally unpacked by pipes and tobaccos (last box!) and put them in some semblance of order. It helped that I found a small book case to use. I should refinish it, but I'm not that kinda guy. Now I just have to deal with open tins and mason jars. [/URL][/img] [/URL][/img] [/URL][/img]...

    Matching Pipes With Star Wars Characters

    You picked em good, but I think Chewy would need a longer pipe so his fur doesn't catch on fire.

    Pipe Cleaner as Pipe Loading Aid?

    I do this so I do not get that little dottle in the first draw test.

    J&J Break Up

    I always liked their style, even if I thought they were a little pricey for young, new carvers. Anyone know why they split?
