    Perique Booze on 'Booze Traveler'

    It's already on the DVR, I'm planning on watching it tonight.

    Sound Off, Lurkers!

    It's weird, there are a lot of faces on here I recognize very well, but then note that they have been on for many years and have a surprisingly low post count. I posted a fair amount for the first few years. Life has gotten in the way and I now only post occasionally.

    Meerschaum maker recommendations

    I have a handful of meers. My Altinook is a great pipe, but I had to wait several months for carving and shipping. Storient, well I don't think you can order directly anymore and he had some issues, but the pipe I got is actually quite nice. I have a CAO/Bekler carved figural pipe which is...

    Duped by a forum member

    Ah yes, I remember so many years ago when myself and several others were all deprived of our money by a fairly well liked, active and respected forum member and pipe maker. In the end the total was roughly calculated at several thousand dollars. I feel lucky to have only lost $80 on the...

    Yes, I have also ordered Mick McQuaid from him as well.

    Vise grips and duct tape can fix anything!

    Tobacco Suggestions for a New Hackert Billiard

    They always look to me like latakia pipes. So, that's what I smoke in both of mine.

    Moderate or Occasional Pipe Smoking Only?

    A thread back from the dead...and I'm still really only committed to a bowl on Sunday afternoon, but will occasionally get another one in here and there, probably averaging 6 bowls a month.

    Condor In The USA?

    I've always purchased it from Mr. Snuff, but try to throw a number of tins of snuff in at the same time to make it worthwhile on the shipping. You are right, it ain't cheap!

    What/Where Should I Eat When I Come to Your Town/State

    So true, I have only a couple of places I go to in Chinatown. We used to eat at this good dim sum place, and then they got the food inspection noting rat droppings and dead insects everywhere. My favorite divey Mexican joint in the Mission closed down years ago for violations including thawing...

    What/Where Should I Eat When I Come to Your Town/State

    Sure, that would work, a Mission style burrito up at one of the dozens of great places, chow fun or smoked pork with rice in Chinatown, cioppino, Rice-a-Roni (Okay, maybe not. Seriously, nobody eats that stuff here!), all great options, but where to begin?!?!?

    Smoking My Altinok Meer

    That is a great looking pipe!

    What/Where Should I Eat When I Come to Your Town/State

    I wouldn't even know where to begin with dining suggestions for the San Francisco Bay Area, too many choices! I will say this, if you are a beer drinker, spend a day walking the city or on the train and visiting the many local breweries. If you are into wine, Napa and Sonoma are certainly an...

    Surgery Update

    How else would I do it?!?! Oh, wait, two hands probably WOULD be easier! You have opened my mind to a new world of possibilities!! Good luck on the continuing recovery! :-)

    Who Buys Brylon? How Bad Is It?

    I still maintain two of the Yello-Bole Brylon pipes in my collection one is identical to the pipe in sjfine's picture and the other is a bent version of the same pipe. They do get a little hot if not smoked slowly and they are relatively heavy for their size. However, they are tough, smoke...

    Jim's Condor Long Cut Review

    Several packets of this were available a the West Coast Pipe Show. They were snatched up before I could come back around to them. Ah well, I still love the ready rubbed!

    Favorite Actors Of Our Generation

    These have been mentioned before, but after Daniel Day Lewis and Meryl Streep it's a steep fall in my mind to the next tier. I have to admit, I warmed up to Johnny Depp's abilities after seeing him in Ed Wood many years ago, but, for me, no two actors inhabit their roles like those two.

    Marvel at my coffee cup!

    I don't really like being told what to do! :wink: I will however admit, that is one heck of a cup.
