    Two Questions About the Manufacturing of Meer-Lined Briars.

    According to everything I've read on the subject, most meer linings are indeed composite, made from meer dust and an emulsifier/binding agent. Apparently African meerschaum is often used, and all of my Tanganyika made pipes are meerschaum lined. I have no idea what is used to hold the composite...

    How Much Is In Your Cellar ?

    I don't really have much, less than 5 pounds for sure, but I've been stocking up lately to get a good supply before it is banned here in Oregon.

    We even got our snow here on the Oregon coast.

    Meerschaum Kalmasch Rim and Crack Repair

    Great job on the repair. My opinion is that as long as you can smoke it, it's good, and everything else is cosmetic and trivial. I've got a couple of newly acquired Kalmasch meers that I plan on smoking soon. They will be posted in WAYS.

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

    With our cold, gloomy weather today I decided be pack the fancy pipe with some SV Buttered Rum and throw the ball for the dogs. This colorful, flowery pipe is a Medico Bold Rebel. Despite the wintery mix coming down from a leaden sky, I could barely resist prancing around the yard and singing...

    IPSD PTSD?

    Those were the pre-Clown World days. I remember those days well.

    Country Squire Middle Earth Tobaccos?

    If you are looking for a LoTR connection you might want to try Peter Stokkebye PS 24 Nougat, which is supposedly what they smoked in the LoTR movies. I haven't tried it yet myself, but I do have some on the way.

    Sounds like our typical winter weather here on the Oregon coast.

    Olive Coffee Anyone?

    My wife loves Salt and Straw's olive oil ice cream. I find it disgusting. I can't say that I'd likely enjoy that flavor in coffee either.

    Olive Coffee Anyone?

    The Pizza Hut in my small town on the Oregon coast finally closed down last year. In the eight years I've lived here I never went to that Pizza Hut. When I was a kid I used to like their pan pizza, but, like most fast food chains, they deteriorated over the years to the point that they are a...

    Cheroot Pipe

    That would make sense.

    Science of Plume/Bloom/Crystals on Tobacco

    Me either, except to say... I'd smoke it.

    Seniors And Technology Get A Bad Rap

    I retired from an IT career, primarily software development, but also some QA, tech support, and many years in management. I'm thankful to rarely have anyone ask me to fix their computer these days. I now get to ask my wife questions about iOS and let her figure it out or look it up. Life is...

    It's Surprising That Mr. Alaska Survived Long Enough...

    Elk, and even deer, can do a lot of damage too and they absolutely will pursue and attack you under certain circumstances. They are more likely to cause you harm while driving though. We have both deer and elk in here on the Oregon coast, and my neighborhood is especially highly populated with...

    It's Surprising That Mr. Alaska Survived Long Enough...

    A great observable lesson in this video is how fast those big bears can run. There is no chance that a human can outrun them even with a head start. One of the biggest mistakes that people make when confronted by bears and other predatory animals is to run.
