    R.I.P. Gary Rossington Co-Founder of Lynyrd Skynyrd.

    Sad news. My band covers several Skynyrd songs. One we don't cover is Free Bird, although as you can imagine we get a lot of requests for it.

    Have You Ever Wondered....

    It hasn't happened to me with tobacco yet, but it has happened with a pipe. I ordered a MM Cobbit Shire pipe from a retailer and a Cobbit Dwarf pipe arrived in a package marked Cobbit Shire. I was happy with the Dwarf so I didn't take any action to correct it, but it was an obvious screw up by...

    Unsmoked Pipes in your Collection?

    Same here. The only unsmoked pipes I have are recent estate buys that I haven't cleaned up yet. I smoke all of my pipes.

    What's For Dinner?

    Made homemade pizza tonight, red sauce, topped with mozzarella cheese, salami, sausage, wild yellowfoot mushrooms, olives, red onions, jalapeños, and anchovies. If I had known how easy it is to make pizza from scratch I would have been making it decades ago. I just figured this out a couple of...

    March Meerschaum Madness - Let the Madness Begin!

    I'm sure there is, but unfortunately it's lost to me. I got that old pipe as part of an estate auction win. In fact, it wasn't even one of primary pipes I was interested in when bidding on it. It sure is a cool pipe though and I'm glad to have it. I also got another old Kalmasch recently as part...

    What Music Are You Listening to? - March, 2023

    I love Primus. I've got tickets to see Les Claypool's Flying Frog Brigade this summer. My band considered covering the Alien Ant Farm version of Smooth Criminal.

    Moving Days

    We did an interstate move almost 9 years ago. What we did was pack everything ourselves and then hire local movers to get the big stuff and load it all into a truck, which I drove to the new home, where I hired other local movers to unload it all. It may not have been easier or even much...

    What Are We Drinking In March 2023?

    The refrigerator is probably the best place for storing beer long term. You'll get less oxidation with the cool temperature. I have bottles of barley wine that I have stored refrigerated for over ten years and they are still great.

    ***What Are You Smoking, March 2023?***

    The weather is a little too cold and shitty outside today so I decided to have a garage smoke. Amphora English Blend in a really old Kalmasch meer. This is probably the oldest pipe that I have ever smoked. I read @JimInks review of the Amphora English Blend as I was smoking it and it really is...

    What Music Are You Listening to? - March, 2023

    I have a funny story about Tubular Bells. I used to stop by the local dive bar with one of my friends from time to time and we would play the TouchTunes jukebox there to listen to tunes while drinking. As a Rush fan, I always enjoyed playing the entire song, 2112, over 20 minutes in length and...

    What makes a blend Danish?

    From my understanding it refers to tobacco sourced from Denmark.

    It Just Looked Like a "Me" Pipe

    Yep, size checks out. Nice looking pipe.
