    Mug Shots!

    I seem to collect as many coffee mugs as I do pipes. Here a few, from the boring cabinet cup, to the exciting movie one, to the funny/weird one.

    Savvy Sailors.

    I could see sailors using the rum to flavor their ration of tobacco, not use it to rehydrate it.

    What Foodstuffs Best Define the Place Where You Live?

    Vernor's Ginger Ale is the absolute best ginger ale. I wish they distributed it to other regions!

    Baraccini/Stanwell P&C lighters

    I have a Xikar that is similar to those. It has the fold out tools and can be a bear to get to light. I fiddle farted around with that thing for ages, watching the spark jump around inside and occasionally lighting. I messed with the little spark wire inside trying to get it to light more...

    What Foodstuffs Best Define the Place Where You Live?

    It's all you can eat Clark, we only need one plate.

    What Foodstuffs Best Define the Place Where You Live?

    Nebraska/Midwest USofA: Chili and cinnamon rolls (expert level if you put the chili on the cinnamon roll) Bierrocks (meat and cabbage mix baked in a bread roll) Runzas (fast food chain equivalent of bierrocks) Fairbury Franks (the only hotdog served at Cornhusker games) Switzel or Haymaker's...

    Savvy Sailors.

    The same here. From my research, the navy flake tradition came from either a) individual seaman soaking their tobacco ration with some of their daily grog ration or b) from plugs and twists being packed into kegs, then rum poured over to help preserve the tobacco on seafaring voyages. I've never...

    AGM Auto Batteries

    Over the course of about the last ten years, I've noticed that most auto manufacturers are selling vehicles with AGM batteries in them. I believe this has a lot to do with the technology in vehicles today. Modern vehicles have many more electronic components in them that, even with the key off...

    Jim's a Comic Book Convention Guest, Nov. 12, in N.C.

    My youngest son is really into Comic Cons and cosplay. We made him a Paz Vizsla cosplay from the Mandolorian. I knew he was going to sweat his rear off in that outfit, so I made him shower before we went, then made he wear dri-fit clothes under it and tons of antiperspirant. It was his first...

    Jim's a Comic Book Convention Guest, Nov. 12, in N.C.

    My beef with Comin Cons is the complete and utter lack of the attendees personal hygiene. I have no idea how adults can care so little for their own person. The smell at every comic con I've attended was.... an unforgettable affront on my senses.

    Vegas Pipe Show 2023 Report

    I had planned to attend, and then two weeks before the show, the company I was going to fly to vegas with, went belly up and I couldn't get a different flight out there without spending an arm and a leg.

    Double Edged Razor Blades

    Although the majority of my face is covered with a beard, I still like to have clean upper cheeks and a clean straight neckline. What I've learned from 20 years of using a straight razor is, not all straight razors are created equally. You really do get what you pay for. I tried a couple of...

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

    Cleaned up this meerschuam lined Mastercraft last week and have been waiting for the Renaissance wax to finally stop smelling. Think I will take her for a test drive this morning with some LBF.
