    Is There A Real Difference.

    It's how they are drilled that makes the biggest difference. Wide open kind, and narrow ones. And how well they are drilled. But with reputable factory and well made artisan pipes, they will smoke without noticing much difference since they are all made well. You would still noice wider bores.

    First Time Sketching In Ages.

    Not finished yet. Just learned how to do furs. Took 10 min off my precious drinking time. I was afraid my Jack and Coke would get warm, I like 'em at room temp. Now, @JimInks is a published artist. I wouldn't expect him to chime in on this one time chicken scratch.

    A Thought On Jazz.

    I'm new to Jazz. I do have a limited, but in depth experience with some musics. Scottish small music being one of them since I competed in it for over 20 years. And their big music from listening and appreciating them. The classic rock has been my most listened genre for most of my life, all 57...

    Antique Store Finds

    That's some skill. I can't restore for shit. My Vespa SS 180 has been in two different garages for last 20 years or so. I did most body work, and one of my kids did some other things. But I don't think it will be done till I win a lottery.

    Davidoff Flake Medallions: To Age Or Not To Age?

    Escudo was overrated. But Escudo that you and I smoked isn't what it was supposed to be. Change in manufacturing, and ownership made it something other than what old timers were talking about. As to newbies screaming about the greatness of Escudo, they must love Nickelback.

    Davidoff Flake Medallions: To Age Or Not To Age?

    Really. Save your money and get Peterson Navy Roll. At least try Peterson Navy Roll before investing in Davidoff. My memories are from 2016 or 17. Not sure if Davidoff changed formula for the medallion or not, but Perique bit me quite a bit. Back when I asked around, it will take five or more...

    No Port For A Bit.

    My wife loves red wine. And she took a liking to port. However, she's on med for her female function that comes with her age. And no alcohol for awhile. As a loving husband who will do anything for her (other than quitting tobacco), I've decided to stop drinking any kind of wine (port and...

    Davidoff Flake Medallions: To Age Or Not To Age?

    If I remember it correctly, that the one with very heavy and sharp Perique. I would definitely age that one. If for nothing else, but to mellow down the Perique.
