    The Little Things…

    20+ years in Texas broke my gardening spirit, fighting the eternal drought and the toil under the sun, though @wilblee I DO miss the Hill Country wildflower displays. I had encouraged the spiderwort in my yard until the entire back yard was covered in it every spring. It's an interesting plant...

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024

    I just enjoyed a Diesel Rage Toro while some young men way more motivated than me detailed my CRV.

    8th Annual Fishnbanjo Day

    Welcome, all, to the celebration of a great friend of this forum who is no longer with us. Fishnbanjo was a kind and knowledgeable soul with a mad pipe collection and a kind word for all. He loved to post the "selfies" like the kids were doing, with him in his shades and cap, in front of his...

    Gurkha Nicaragua Series Toro. Any Good?

    I just snagged a dozen of these to get a "free" travel humidor on SP. Who's tried them? Please share your opinions. Thanks.

    Supporting Local Shops

    I built my cellar from online sales with timed discounts and free shipping. My pipe and tin selection at home dwarfs the local B&M's offerings. That said, I still force myself to buy SOMETHING with each visit to the B&M because I want them to continue existing. I almost always find a hidden...

    What's Your 4th of July, 2024 Food Lineup?

    I, too, have some St. Louis ribs for today. Mrs. jaytex1969 will likely be testing out a new tater salad recipe and I'll probably steam up some carrots and broccoli crowns. Oh yeah, the Carolina peaches are in. I'll likely eat them until I'm ill, then eat just a few more... As a combat veteran...

    Your Summer Song

    I have fond memories of loading way too many soldiers and coolers into pickup trucks and trekking from Fort Stewart (or whatever it's now called) to Tybee Island, just east of Savannah, Georgia. The Cult's Sonic Temple was hot off the presses and became the backdrop/soundtrack to one of my summers.

    Show Us Your Knife (And Pipe)

    This knife began life as a railroad spike in central Texas, where my friend Lynden turned it into this custom beast. My instructions to him were a single sided blade 1/4" under legal length with a stacked leather handle and a decent skull cracking pummel. The pipe is a BriarWorks Poker...

    Best Peach?

    I generally avoid aromatics. That said, I took this in trade a few years ago and occasionally enjoy a bowl full. To me, it's incredibly realistic in its essence. I imagine they've changed the name of it by now, due to some ridiculous law. I often mix it half and half with a stronger...
