    When I saw the title, I was expecting this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_Manifest

    What Are You Drinking? October 2024

    Having a Bubly Sparkling Water, Cherry. These taste quite natural and have been enjoyable. The Mango is highly recommended.

    British "CIVIC" made Drinkless (Kaywoodie)

    If I recall correctly, that summary was by @jguss , but he didn’t have his detailed version handy.

    I’m thrilled to see you back! And with perhaps, my favourite cigar of all time.

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024

    Frank Llaneza was a legend in the tobacco industry and was responsible for the resurgence of high quality cigars in the ’90s—brands like Hoyo de Monterrey, Punch, and Bolivar wouldn’t exist without him. Look up Villazon and its history and you’ll see what an impact he had on the cigar world.

    Removing Silver Band from Peterson Meerschaum Pipe

    Do you think there’s any way to create a mini dent puller and have a small tube with a tiny suction cup on it hooked up to a vacuum?

    R.I.P. Joel Sherman Last Proprietor Of N.Y.C's Nat Sherman's

    This is very sad to hear. Everything Is an Afterthought: The Life and Writings of Paul Nelson (published in 2011), a book I designed, featured decorated boards with art I recreated of the period correct Nat Sherman Cigarettellos that Paul smoked incessantly—Joel Sherman was incredibly cool and...

    Best Pipe Tobacco for Appetite Suppressant

    Do a search for Mapacho. I was able to purchase a two pound log for a little over $100.00 US.

    Best Pipe Tobacco for Appetite Suppressant

    Rustica has close to nine times the amount of nicotine of most common tobaccos. You can buy a log of Mapacho from a variety of places online. It works well in a pipe, but you will need to cut it up.

    Thunderbirds Are Go

    I’m still a fan after all these years, but have a softer spot for Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons.

    1,000th Post: Sharing Some Illustrations & Design I've Done

    For any of you that might be in the NYC area this coming Friday, September 13th, I’m giving a talk at the Salmagundi Club that afternoon: https://salmagundi.org/2024-murder-mayhem-masterpieces-art-of-illustrating-mysteries/ I’m not sure how many seats are left (RSVP required). This talk was...

    4 Digit Savinelli

    Congratulations! You scored a nice Straight Grain pipe at a decent price. I was considering bidding on that one, but the fill (or nick) on the left side turned me off.

    Adverse Reactions to Toothpaste?

    I had an unfavourable reaction to a Colgate toothpaste with baking soda that had “Zing” in its name. It left my mouth very irritated. It took a few uses before figuring out it was the toothpaste.

    Pipe Rest Question

    That’s a cute pipe rest. Bear in mind that many pipe smokers are also collectors that are concerned about preserving the condition of their pipes. I would be mindful about any dyes on felt or leather that could potentially stain a pipe’s finish; I would think lining your rests with felt and...

    Pipe Windchimes

    I suspect you could set up a briar pipe to be the knocker that dangles and hits the metal chimes, but I highly doubt the pitch of briar pipes as the chimes would work at all.
