Helping (Grand) Daddy
Al: PM sent on your dad. What a wonderful picture of you and the Princess in her onesie! It doesn't get much better than that. I'm jealous, brother. Fnord P.S. In an 18 month period I read "We Help Mommy" three to four times a day to my sons. To keep from going mad, I frequently twisted the...- fnord

Smoking 100+ Year Old Balkan Sobranie Cigarettes
I gave up the nails ten years ago when I turned fifty. But I'd gladly give up the extra days, months or years in a nursing home to smoke one of those vintage fags. So jealous, but so happy for you, Sam. Fnord PS. My 92 year old, soon to be, ex-mother-in-law has a lump of static lung cancer in...- fnord

DH Nightcap Smokers
For me, Hiland's was an aberration and I'll never look their way again. MikeThompson: I don't know what a "Saskatoon switcheroo" really is but I can certainly guess. Hate to think reputable vendors play it that fast and loose with items that have a distinctive look, feel, taste and aroma but...- fnord

Tractor Time
15 acres might've been 5 acres too many for a guy who got out of the hospital recently. I call this picture from earlier today: "Tired Old Man Not Taking Care of Himself" Everybody has the right to find their own way out, but my life for the last six years has been better thanks to this beat...- fnord

DH Nightcap Smokers
Folks: Anybody bought Nightcap recently? Two of my last three purchases have either been cased or something has been added. All have been bulk buys. The first half pound came from Hiland Cigar and the taste was off. They never responded to my questions so I crossed them off my future "buy"...- fnord

Nice Surprise Under a Painted Grabow
Cwrmouth: I'm certainly no expert on DG pipes but I was always under the impression that Viscounts were just a notch or two down from the fabled El Dorados. Why they painted yours is beyond me. DGs are funny though. I have fine smoking Viscounts and El Dorados but my very best smoking Dr...- fnord

Veterans Day
I'm late to the forums this evening but I've spent my day sending out best wishes to all my friends and family members on Armistice Day. Bradley: Thank you for posting that pix of your son in the tandem jump. Al: How old was your dad when he shipped out to French Indo-China? He must've been...- fnord

Bliss...
"You dry out a whole pound at time?" Sure. It took a while to get there but I prefer my smoking tobacco dry. The tins I tuck away go into deep storage immediately. The stuff I plan to smoke starts the big sprawl across the kitchen counter tops upon arrival. And the password is, "Toasty." Fnord- fnord

Sasieni Eight Dot "Buckingham" Straight Grain
Yep. English wood doesn't come much prettier. I'm no Sasieni expert but I do know they dated they dated their pipes in a helter-skelter fashion. My small handful of Sasienis and seconds are all great smokers. I hope yours is spectacular. Fnord- fnord

Chris Besse 7 Day Set Complete.
Wow. I love it when a plan comes together. The plateau top is gorgeous but that heavy walled, bent billiard is a button buzzer. Well done to you both. Fnord -
World Series and a Pipe
Game 5 was the wildest goddamned World Series game I've ever seen. I don't have any skin in the series save a deep and abiding respect for Tommy Lasorda and the class/quality/discipline he brought to the Dodgers organization. But, damn, I'd love to see the Astros get this pennant. I'm a long...- fnord

An Act Of Friendship, Thank You Orley.

Is Texas Politically Correct?
By today's mainstream press, Eric, absolutely not. You all are a bunch of gun toting, flag waving, Bible carrying Neanderthals. Sort of like Kansas except a few hundred miles south. If Texas secedes, again, I'll holler at the Okies and we'll be along shortly. That stated, my boyhood in SW...- fnord

Do Jars Exist That Will Accommodate Round Tins?
I've been storing my collectible tins in resealable Mylar bags in a very cool, dark basement. After seeing these bail and seal jars from The Container Store I'm starting to have serious second thoughts. Haven't seen a Ball, Mason or ersatz jar yet hoss enough to handle a traditional circular...- fnord

Savinelli Triomphe?
Cwarmouth: Yeoman's job on that clean up. The leather is gorgeous. I was warned years ago that alcohol is no friend to meerschaum. However, my experience with meers is just about non-existent. (Had a few and they didn't work for me.) Best of luck. Fnord- fnord
