    Show Off Your Petersons Here!

    I bought it as part of a group buy organized through alt.smokers.pipes. I can’t recall the ultimate size of the order placed with JBT, but it was a good many thousands of dollars. Good times.

    With Whom Would You *Not* Smoke?

    This guy. Rob Reiner is one of Hollywood's leading anti-smoking "advocates." Lighting up a smoke with Reiner would be tempting fate.

    What Are You Drinking? July 2024

    I gave up alcohol, for the most part, in February, for health reasons. (I also gave up fruit juices, soda -- fluid-derived calories in general.) Since then, I've lost 18 pounds with no other effort and it's showing every sign of staying off. I am, and feel, healthier. I drink 2-3 cans per day of...

    What are You Reading Now?

    I just finished reading L. Ron Hubbard's Battlefield Earth for the 2nd or 3rd time since I first stumbled across a hardcopy in a remainder bin in Torrance, California, in the mid 1980's (it was published in 1982). FWIW, I'm not an L. Ron Hubbard fan generally, but he was a noted "Golden Age"...

    Your Pipe's Scent

    My pipes complain they can't smell a thing due to that evil smelling Latakia I keep smoking.

    Peterson Sherlock Holmes Lestrade... purchased new from James Barber Tobacconists in ca. 1998. Still packaged as received and unsmoked. Call me crazy.... Go ahead.

    Finally started streaming Sweet Tooth on Netflix. Ok show. 4 stars. Feeling generous after this pipe sighting. Chapuis-Comoy?

    With Whom Would You Smoke?

    Have to be William Faulkner... He was a cranky fellow, and quite a tippler, but he would have plenty to talk about.

    Bamboo Pipes Seem To Be All the Rage

    I've had a couple over the past several decades. Honestly, I can't identify any special smoking properties of bamboo vs regular shank briar pipes. I once had this Bari Pearl. I rather liked it but obviously not enough to keep me from parting with it. This is the bell ringer for me: It's...

    Help Me Pick a Nose Warmer

    Nose Warmers aren't my favorite shape, so I only have one remaining from a many-times-culled collection. Yet this one is a survivor of my most aggressive herd reductions. I bought it maybe 10 years ago at the fabled Copenhagen Pipe Shop before they moved to their new (current) digs. It's a...

    Well, This Makes Me Mad.

    Fixable, yes.... But that would ruin my day regardless. Condolences.

    Boswell Northwoods

    Yes, it's a good tobacco, but I agree with the comment above that it's not a complex blend. It's enjoyable, but there are others I'd reach for first.

    My Pipe is My Fidget Spinner

    I worked with a fellow years ago, now long since retired, who told me that during the "golden years" of office work with smoking permitted: "a pipe was the greatest thing to smoke during a presentation, because you had something to fiddle with while you thought of an answer to an audience...

    What is a "Stinger" for?

    There's nothing wrong with a stinger that a pair of pliers and a gentle twist can't fix. And does anyone else find Kaywoodie's use of the word "Drinkless" in this connection to be obnoxious? Drink less? How about drink nothing??
