    Two 14 Year Old Pipe Smokers.

    Talking to Pipestud today reminded me of my teen years as a novice pipe smoker in the 1950s. A pipesmoking friend and I used to travel every weekend from Yonkers, just above NYC, to midtown Manhattan. We would play a game of mental chess on the subway trip from Woodlawn to 42nd st. Then we'd...

    Keeping Tobacco Fresh Questions

    I keep open cans in an old cigar humidor with a wet piece of sponge. Any box with a closeable top, such as tupperware would do.

    I Married A Good Woman

    Instymp: Some people say we get along well because we live separately. I have a jazz musician friend who is usually on the road. Same thing: a happy marriage.

    Hey Mayor, Can You Do Something About That Smell?

    Anyone who lives on the very expensive Central Park South knows that smell from the carriage horses.

    Two UFC Upsets Tonight

    I skipped two boxing cards to watch this and was not disappointed. I love the spirit and jujitsu of the Diaz brothers. Holm needs to learn it, Rousey should have taken up Mayweather's offer to teach her to box. Tate is hot, isn't she? They will probably give Rousey a match against her. If White...

    Can Nicotine Be Good for You?

    Nicotine raises your blood pressure, whether you inhale or not. If you have low pressure, it can help. If high pressure, don't take too much of it.

    Some Actors Actually Know What They're Doing

    I photographed actors for many years. Thousands of them. What I can report is not surprising. Most are mental midgets, but the successful actors are the smart ones.

    Pipes with metal caps over the bowl?

    Metal caps draw the heat up and result in a slightly cooler smoke. I got one to cover the pipe when I had gone out for a short smoke. Prevents a mess in your pocket.

    Rubbing alcohol and the bowl

    Any strong alcohol works though rubbing leaves a bad taste. I liked a 112 proof gin.

    Two UFC Upsets Tonight

    Miesa Cupcake Tate took the 135 pound women's title from Holly Holme, the Preacher's daughter. I was hoping Miesha would win, but had picked Holly. Then Nate Dias defeated Connor McGregor at 170 lbs. Both guys are among my favorites. In his last fight Connor defeated an opponent on a 10 year win...

    60 Year Smoker

    Beefeater: I have been working from nude models since 1960. The novelty wore off 55 years ago. Just another day at work. Sorry I can't post some pictures but you can see some paintings and photos at modelmayhem.com/1077188.

    Dunhill Tanshell---- Has This Finish Been Retired or Discontinued?

    I have never seen a new one for sale. They must be discontinued. But the county is the best smoking sandblasted Dunhill.

    Cup O' Joes?

    Generally OK. No more problems than from any other retailer. They are the largest US Dunhill dealer.

    60 Year Smoker

    MSO: What you said about women is true. And they are getting better looking. Probably natural selection. It has to be made clear: nicotine raises your blood pressure. Some of you seem to think it lowers it. Do not fool yourselves. If your pressure is naturally low, no problem. If it is high...

    60 Year Smoker

    Thanks for the comments guys. Harris: I am on both drugs you mention, and several others, all at maximum amounts. I do 17 blood pressure pills a day. It has finally reached the point when taking another pill will not help. Bradley: Still following your advice about driving, but it is way past...

    60 Year Smoker

    This month is 60 years of pipesmoking for me. Unfortunately the number will end here. I have just this week been forced to quit because of blood pressure problems. Well, maybe a pipe once in a great while. Have any of you survived more than 60 years of it?

    I Married A Good Woman

    I retract the statement about my wife. We had had a bit of a problem, which has been solved. She is a VERY good woman.

    Swingtime Crosby

    Inmstymp: The Dunhill collection is 112 pipes, all 21st century and in very good condition. Shame I won't be smoking them any more. I had to give up smoking and drinking 48 hours ago because of blood pressure issues. I will keep the pipes for now, and might sneak a smoke very rarely.

    Swingtime Crosby

    Huntertrw: Thanks for the answer. Shutterbugg: The name cam from the film. I got this information from my wife who worked for Mr. Linsky's daughter for many years. He also donated two rooms full of early Christian art to the Metropolitan Museum. He had unusually good taste. The man came to the...
