Alienist Anyone?
One of my favorite books of all time, but I don't get any live TV. Bummer. I'll have to wait until it comes to Netflix or Amazon.- robwoodall

Allllll Aboard!!
Congratulations! But, I feel compelled to give you some advise. Those steam trains are OK, but watch out for the diesels. I was watching a documentary with my son. It was set on an island off the coast of England, but I assume it's true everywhere. The diesels are always up to something, always...- robwoodall

Did Savinelli Make a 2015 Saint Nicholas Poker?
Yeah, this year's is my favorite yet. I love the red stain and the white stem. Looks kinda like a candy cane. I haven't smoked it yet, though. I usually wait until Christmas eve while I'm putting toys together.- robwoodall

Did Savinelli Make a 2015 Saint Nicholas Poker?
Thanks, Anthony. I imagine you're right, as I haven't found one, or even a picture of one, anywhere. Oh, well... It's not like I have any lack of pipes to smoke. Bummer, though.- robwoodall

Did Savinelli Make a 2015 Saint Nicholas Poker?
I buy a St. Nicholas poker (311 KS) every year, but I don't have one from 2015. I hadn't really settled in to what I like back then, so I bought a Prince that year. I've since decided that I want a Christmas Poker for every year I've been smoking a pipe, but I can't find a 2015. In fact, I...- robwoodall

Why Did You Quit Drinking?
When I drank, life was bad. While I've never been unemployed, it turns out that that was the last excuse I was holding on to. I always had a job, but... I was 118 pounds at 5'6". I drove away a great woman. I woke up in all sorts of places with no memory of getting there. I hurt every day...- robwoodall

Ropp Vintage pipes
Like Mothernature, I'm not a huge fan of the horn stems. They LOOK great, but I just don't find mine to be too comfortable. The non-horn, though, are among my favorite pipes. I have four in total. They are light, attractive and smoke well. They are small, but I look at the dimensions, to try to...- robwoodall

Anyone Else Ride?
I ride pretty much every day. I've had most types, but I generally go for long distance touring bikes. I have a 2017 Ultra Limited for REALLY long distance touring, and a 2003 Heritage Springer for more local stuff, but still with lots of storage space. I'm old and fat and tend to choose comfort...- robwoodall

Help Me Name My New Blend
I've been experimenting with simple blends lately, and I've finally hit on a keeper. 8 ounces C&D Dark Fired Kentucky, 2 Ounces C&D Granulated Perique and 1 Ounce Lane BCA It gives me a rich, smoky, cool-burning, high(ish) nicotine experience. The BCA seems to help accentuate the "stewed fruit"...- robwoodall

My Sense of Taste is Not What I Thought it Was...
The advantage to not having a "Princess and the Pea" level of sensory processing is that I tend to not agonize over choices. I've found very few blends that I actually dislike, and those generally only because of tongue bite rather than taste. (I'm looking at you, Nightcap. You taste so good...- robwoodall

My Sense of Taste is Not What I Thought it Was...
I'm on a C&D kick, and have four blends currently open. I'm alternating between Haunted Bookshop, Dark Fired Kentucky, Star of the East and Epiphany. Last Friday I got to work and lit up a pipe I had packed that morning and couldn't remember what I'd packed. I smoked and thought and ciphered. I...- robwoodall

Alabama Pipe Smokers
Cosmic, Yeah, I'm not really far at all. I've even bought a new motorcycle I'm trying to put some miles on, so I that would be a good excuse. My problem is that I'm a widowed father of an eight-year-old, and I spend most of my non-working time with him. I know I need to get out more, but I've...- robwoodall

C & D Dark Fired Kentucky vs. HH Old Dark Fired
Cosmic, Yeah, I think I'm missing the sweetness of ODF. I'll order more of that and compare them side by side. Kanse, Thanks! That's a lot of recommendations. Of all of them, Blackhouse is the only one I've smoked, but I liked it a lot. I'll try some of the others.- robwoodall

C & D Dark Fired Kentucky vs. HH Old Dark Fired
HH Old Dark Fired has been one of my two "go to" tobaccos for a while now, but I foolishly let myself run out. When I re-ordered, there was a sale on, so I bought C&D Dark Fired Kentucky instead. I really like it, but I can't do a direct comparison, since I ran out of the other. Not that it...- robwoodall

I'm in north Alabama, and only rarely get down to the Birmingham area, but I definitely plan to hit one of your meetings eventually. Thanks!- robwoodall
