    The Castello Thread

    I acquired my first Castello at the PCI show in Cherry Hill NJ in 1989. A Sea Rock bent Dublin. Loved it and bought about seven more through the years, eventually traded them all, and then got an Old Antiquari and flame grain large bent dublin at the Columbus show in 2018. Won’t trade them now...

    Anybody Smoke a Pipe while Playing Golf?

    I’ve been playing golf 55 years, smoking a pipe 50 years, and never smoke my pipe on the course. The pipe offers too many distractions and delays plus there’s the big risk of losing or breaking a pipe. I’ll stick with beer and an occasional cigars during the round.

    Interesting Article About Fred Hanna

    It is a fine article and I love his book. On another topic, and I ask since you’re a member of the CPCC, I assume there is no Chicago show this year. I have seen no notice of the event.

    A Pipe and a Drink (?)

    I’ll reprise my standard response to these question: I love my pipe and I love my beer; just not together. I drink seltzer when I smoke my pipe.

    Good Straight Out Of The Box

    None. I never fill up a new pipe out of the box and smoke it like my regular pipes. I always use the honey treatment to break in a new pipe, bowl coating or bare, and begin the break-in process with a quarter bowl, half bowl, three quarters bowl, and then full bowl after three days. It has...

    Columbus Pipe Show 2021

    I plan to attend. I’ve been to 13 Chicago shows, since 2003, 15 Richmond shows, since 1998, and 7 Columbus shows, since 2013. Columbus is my favorite, mainly because of the location. I acknowledge the venue has changed, but am anxious to give it a try.

    Too Many Blends, But Too Few Producers?

    Monopoly may be the goal; but competition, which is the real product of capitalism, always wins and produces more products at lower prices. Unless the government gets involved.

    Stem Etiquette

    I use the “condoms” to protect my TEETH not the stems. All but two of my 32 pipes have acrylic stems, so i don’t worry about disfiguring them.

    Resting A Briar

    I’ve been smoking a pipe 50 years. My rotation is to smoke the same pipe two consecutive days, 2-3 bowls each day. I space those daily bowls so they completely cool off between smokes. Then it rests about three weeks. Works for me.

    Your Go to Morning Blend

    No morning pipe for me. First one around 1:30 p.m. after lunch. Then on one of two tins (one VA, one English/Balkan). Today Rattrays Black Mallory and OVTC Old Dominion.

    What's Your Favorite Drink While Smoking Your Pipe?

    I’m tempted to follow George Thorogood with One Bourbon, One Scotch, and One Beer; but I’ll stick with my seltzer water.
