    Becoming a (Pipe Smoking) Dad!

    I used to blow smoke bubbles for my nephews and daughter. You just blow the soap bubbles with smoke and not air. They have a cool swirly look to them and they sink and bounce instead of float. When they finally pop, the smoke puffs out. Kids think it's cool.

    Not Enough Curse Words For This!!!!

    There's lots of good, tough woods out there. Make a new one. I knoe it sucks that a family heirloom got destroyed, but like johnnyrebel said, it presents an opportunity to create a new one. Edit: Just don't forget to make one tougher than your butt.

    The Flake Mistake

    Fold and stuff is actually my favorite. I do cube FVF, though.

    Of Generosity and Handouts

    I have people wanting to be on the box pass who I've never seen before and have made 1 or 2 posts and tellme they read the rules yet want to be on the list anyway. I'm sitting here thinking, OK so you read the rules. You know people wait 4 months to get on the list and then may wait a year to...

    Becoming a (Pipe Smoking) Dad!

    Me in traffic: "grrr move it, you!" Daughter in car seat: "Daddy, is that jackass in your way again?" Me (trying not to laugh): Yes, and don't say that.

    Dunhill

    Dunhills have a reputation for being quality, reliable smoking pipes. If the price is right, go for it! Dave Wolff at Walker Briar Works is a +1 for me, too. Whether it just needs to be cleaned and polished or totally restored, Dave won't steer you wrong.

    Becoming a (Pipe Smoking) Dad!

    Congratulations! Just use common sense and they will be fine. When my daughter was little I still smoked nails and I never smoked in the same room and mostly I smoked outside. Kids don't "hate smoke". That's just made up. Most kids are totally indifferent to it except for asking tons of little...

    Authors and Writers. Any Here?

    I've actually got two books. If you've ever wanted to learn how to read Tarot cards, without having to engage all the New Age gobbledygook, pick up my book Hard Core Tarot. It will teach you both Tarot and basic Numerology and you will be able to read for people with some practice in a couple of...

    Show Us Your Dogs!

    That's the truth. I almost didn't want another dog after we lost our Husky Nala in 2010. She was family.

    Nothing wrong with Norway.

    Wearing Of The Kilt

    I wish they would catch on a bit more in the States. They would be great for summers in Texas. Not very good for hunting rattlesnakes or walking through saw grass, though. I could either wear the Tartan of Clan Niall or Clan MacLean, which is kind of funny because those clans are known to hate...

    Black House Bulk or Tin?

    My Miskatonic University Blend is only 1% Latakia. That's a suprise to most people who try it, but it's just there to round out the flavor and enhance the smoothness. I notice very little difference between the tinned and bulk BH. Russ put a lot of effort into makign it that way. If you stuck...

    Traveling Abroad With Pipes

    I've never had any trouble withh pipes or tobacco in my carry-on. My main tamper is a wooden pick imbedded in a .45 cartrige case and they never even worried about that. The carry-on is the best way to carry your stuff, too. Checked bags get lost and burgled. Just bring a couple of good pipes...

    Your Opinion Requested

    I've had problems with UPS smashing and mis-delivering packages before. I'd hesitate to take it out on the retailer, since it really wasn't their fault. It's really on UPS if you ask me. They are the ones who decided to fake-sign for it and drop it and they know that's wrong. Not sure what the...
