    How much do you smoke?

    I am down from 7-10 bowls a day to 2-4. About one 3 1/2 oz can every 10-12 days + some bulk.

    Do you like clay pipes?

    We used to smoke clays that looked like your second picture. They cost 25 cents back in the 50s. Problem was, it takes a long breakin period before they taste good, and by then they were usually broken. Every time you put one down on a table carelessly a piece breaks off. Soon the churchwarden...

    MLB's World Series - 2015

    As a Mets follower I can tell you that they did not deserve to win the pennant. They are a rather poor team that got hot in late July and stayed hot until after they beat the Cubs. Then they fell apart as usual. They have a terrible bumbling infield, a centerfielder who is not really a...

    Billy the Kid Played Croquet...Who Knew?

    When we were children we moved from the east Bronx to the suburbs. Probably because she read Alice in Wonderland, our mother decided that we should play croquet.

    Balkan Sobranie

    I smoked the original for about 40 years. There is no imitation that I have tried that even comes close, including the current tobacco with that name. Even with the formula it cannot be duplicated because the ingredients would not be the same.

    Show Us Your Ben Wades

    Sold my Ben Wade. I bought it around 1973, smoked the hell out of it for 40 years. Never liked it. Sold it to sp.com for about 4 times what it cost new.

    Bing Crosby Pipe shape?

    Some Dunhill Crosbys. These are older pictures. Too lazy to shoot the current collection of them, which are 16.

    Do I need to remove Stain from new Peterson

    If it tastes good to you leave it alone. If you do decide to remove stain use a high proof drinking beverage, like 141 rum. 110 proof chartreuse and 117 proof Navy gin are good too. Rubbing alcohol will throw the taste off for a while.

    Where do you smoke your pipe?

    In my smoking room or any place else in the house.
