Winters here! So what's your favourite summer smoke?
Favorite smoke depends on the time of day more than the season. For me it is Bombay Court most times, some evenings Old Dark Fired, in a cob i like Stokkebye's Turkish 81.- foggymountain

Old Grandad
Orley: Great to hear you are a Deardorff fan. I had many Deardorffs in my camera store, some of which I restored a little. My favorite was Deardorff serial number 6000, which I used for several years before selling it because the offer was too good to refuse. I ended up with an Ebony SV10UE...- foggymountain

Turkish 84
Is a Stokkebye blend i was tempted to get this week. This is a mild subtle tobacco. It will benefit with some months or years of age. Tried half a pound. It is mild and very nice. I smoked 3 briars of it yesterday and a corncob of it right now. Ingredients listed are Virginia and Turkish. There...- foggymountain

What's the Most You Would Ever Spend on a Pipe?
Right now not too much. I have 186 pipes and do not need more. The one temptation would be a Dunhill 4303 Bruyere, new, from a country that is on Euros. I could use 2-3 of these. They probably would cost about $550.- foggymountain

Old Grandad
For some reason. I have never, until today, wondered who was the old grandad of bourbon fame.

His name was Basil...- foggymountain

Petersons and quality?
I had a wonderful Peterson in the 1950s, so when I started replenishing the old pipe collection in this century I got about 3 dozen Petes, mostly high end. Some were good, some were terrible. I sold the ones I didn't like and now have 14 left. They do not and never will smoke as well as the...- foggymountain

What Kind Of Crazy Things Did You Do As Kids
Got really drunk at age 5. Started smoking cigarillos at age 12, pipes at age 14. Learned to drive at 12. Raced bicycles. Otherwise not much that I can remember, but it was a very long time ago.- foggymountain
