    This Could be Mega-Bad

    The interview with Truman right before 150’ of the mountain landed on him is interesting. A mix of stubbornness, denial, and delusion. Have met a few like him, and I get it. Spent some time as a young man in remote areas of Alaska. An important thing I learned there is that respect for nature...

    Concerning some who Denigrate Pipe Smoking

    Oh yes, the psych cases. I once had a supervisor who would hold his breath and run anytime he was around smoke. One day we were driving to lunch and when he saw someone smoking on the side of the road he started coughing up a storm… we were traveling ~35mph with our windows rolled up.

    A succulent Chinese meal? 😂

    Pipe Hobby Waxing and Waning

    I don’t know if “hobby” is the right word for my activities relating to pipe smoking. It did/does involve research and experimentation trying to learn about the different tobacco blend families and equipment, but at the end of the day it is just me on the patio with a pipe and glass of water...

    To Drink or not to Drink?

    Real Men Don't Use Emojis

    Emojis allow me to feign emotional connection to various subjects communicated to me via SMS. Very useful.

    Another Sign Of Getting Old.

    We’ve been using the same laminated grocery totes for ~10 years. They have long handles and can carry pretty much anything without breaking. I do sympathize with the Falling Down, Codger Syndrome - Stage II, though. Do try taking it easy on the kids. They have no idea how much crap the...

    Moving Down the Road

    Texan who moved east here. Make sure you hit all of your favorite Mexican restaurants before you leave, and talk a long last stroll around HEB.

    Tobacco Barn Fires Are in Decline in Kentucky

    A fellow pipe smoker I know ditched Portland, OR for Kentucky a few years ago and now lives right down the road from a tobacco curing barn. This time of year he sits on his porch in the morning with his coffee and enjoys the smell of hickory smoke drifting across his property.

    Another "The Olympics Sure Are Changing" Datapoint

    I’m just glad breakin’ is back. Will probably just be a fad for the Olympics.

    What Dye Can be Used on Briar?

    Fiebings leather dye works great, but you’ll want to experiment with thinned batches of it before committing the whole stripped pipe to it.

    Shipping Tobacco

    Oh yeah. Having a rooster crowing and moaning to itself inside a tall cardboard box in the back of a mail truck was always fun. I would ignore my route schedule and drop the birds off first thing in the morning. Not listening to that all day. 😂

    Woke Boxing

    Would love to see a matchup between that Algerian boxer and my grandma when she was in her 40s. She grew up on a hog farm, kept nine children and a mean husband in line, and was “strong like bear.” 😂 She and I never talked a lot, so I was surprised to receive several things from her estate...

    I am Not Complaining

    Are you trying to quit? Why would you do this to yourself? Camping is the perfect time for a pipe.

    Solitary or Social Smoker?

    First place I lived as a pipe smoker there was a great tobacco shop nearby that hosted a crew of friendly pipe smokers and I stopped there every day to smoke with them. Then I moved and the tobacco shop near me had a pipe club, but I couldn’t stand a few those guys so I stopped going there...

    Shipping Tobacco

    USPS UPS is more problematic in this area.

    What Does Abusing a Return Policy Look Like?

    I appreciate a ‘Returns Accepted’ policy, especially with anything used. Don’t know what this looks like for big estate pipe sellers, and I am sure their policies guide acceptable reasons for returns, but I imagine it follows the same pattern I saw as a mailman: There are some people who abuse...
