Good Luck Bad Luck
Wise King Solomon called his mages together and asked them to create a ring with magic powers. It would remind him to not get carried away when he was too happy and not get too down when he was filled with sorrow. They made him a ring with this inscribed on it: This Too Shall Pass.- iajaffe

Any tobacconists within 1.5 hours of Nevada City Ca?
Beware that the smoking lounge in the Briar Patch on Fair Oaks is a member only thing. You can smoke in the store, but you cannot just go in to the lounge area. I recommend Tobacco Road on Marconi and Fulton. Zee (the owner) is great and he has a few couches and chairs setup for smokers...- iajaffe

Is it luck, or fate?
I Like the Briar Patch, but I would recommend Tobacco Road. Less uptight and friendlier. Also, we have a local pipe club that meets twice a month. Third Thursday and last Sunday. I hope to see you.- iajaffe

Wonderful Experience with a Fellow Pipe Smoker
Over the weekend I received an email from a pipe smoker who found me at the blog of my local pipe smoking club here in Sacramento. He had received an 8oz tin of Haddo's Delight, but even though the package said Haddo's Delight what was inside was anything but. Inside was a heavy latakia which...- iajaffe

Stem problem on a new pipe
So I bought my first churchwarden (Savinelli) at the LV pipe show and LOVE it....but now I have a problem. The tenon of the stem is not the same length of the mortise so there is a 1/6" gap from the end of the stem to where it meets inside of the pipe. I get 20 minutes of wonderful smoking and...- iajaffe

Questions from a newbie
As a recently started pipe smoker (6months or so) I would recommend going with a briar pipe. It just feels right. As for tobacco. I asked the tobacconist what was his best selling blend. It turned out very well for me.- iajaffe

Favorite Writers, Books, Subjects.
The book that most changed my life was Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. I don't agree with her view of religion, but her understanding of men's desires is unparalleled. It is a long read, but worth it. Other than that its scifi/fantasy all the way. Terry Prachett, Robert Jordan, Terry Goodkind...- iajaffe
