    What Turned You on to Pipes?

    I guess it would be my grandfather (on my mothers side). He always had a bowl of Prince Albert going and I always enjoyed the aroma.

    Does Perique Add Anything Other Than Spice?

    The smell is figgy/fruity to me and the taste is along the peppery line to me. I like it quite a bit.

    Are Any Of You Guys As Traditional As Myself?

    In pipes, only traditional for me. Nothing modern or free-hand.

    Are Any Of You Guys As Traditional As Myself?

    At least your wife doesn't dis- own you when you're out. My wife is like, "I don't know who that bizarrely dressed guy that is, honest." ?

    Who Has Goats?

    I would make sure the fence openings are small. Many years ago we had a couple of goats for pets. Even though we had ALOT of foraging inside the fence, one goat would constantly stick his head through the fence to forage, and with his tiny curved horns, could never pull his head back out by...

    How Do You Stay Fit?

    I have a reoccurring dream where the doctor tells me "You gotta layoff those brownies and ice cream, they're making you lose too much weight!" ?

    How Do You Stay Fit?

    I walk 4 miles a day, about 5 days a week.

    Anyone Remember the Ford Falcon Automobile?

    I think the model was the Marathon. Illinois Governor Thompson used them as the cars to drive him around.

    Anyone Remember the Ford Falcon Automobile?

    I believe McNamara (later in the Nixon administration) was the force behind the Falcon's production. It sold well, but it was so basic, it had a very small profit margin. Good sales numbers but not so good profit numbers. But I guess it introduced a lot of new people to Ford, whether you think...

    What Is Your GoTo Lighter?

    Bic has a new mid-size lighter that I just found out about. I am definitely going to give this a try.

    Any Jerry Lewis Fans Here?

    I think he was more popular in Europe (France?) than the U S. I feel as though he may have had an influence on Robin Williams.

    What Is Your GoTo Lighter?

    I use these also. Recently, I couldn't find mine (usually have two or three laying around the house). I ran across a Bic with a long stem for lighting candels and charcoal and stuff. It worked so well I'm thinking of buying a longer stem Bic for regular pipe use. I believe they make a couple of...

    Report - Smokefree Ideology (in the UK)

    I'm ok with people not wanting their belongings to have smoke on them, whether it's a rental car, hotel room, apartment, etc. But when I walk past a bar (serving alcohol) whether it's stand-alone or in a hotel or restaurant, I smell the beer (usually stale beer smell) I think it smells worse...

    What Did You Smoke Today? Cigars.

    I've seen real thin drill-bit type of tool for cigars. I've never used one but I think they are to help with hard draw. I don't know if it's a gimmick or not.

    Savinelli Saint Nicholas 2020

    I don't have one, but I looked them up. They're nice looking pipes. I would get one too if it were in my budget.

    Picayune.....

    I bought some a while back. I think I would have liked it more if I had taken the time to rehydrate it to my preference.

    High-End Wrist Watches - Do They Improve the Time Telling Experience?

    I still wear my analog Timex with the stretchy metal band. Don't remember the exact cost new, but less than $35.
