Bob Dylan -- Nobel Laureate 2016.... Well Deserved
Ben88 wrote: And Al Gore's award in 2007. I have no idea what's going on with prize committee over there, but I did hear one of the committee members queried as to why they gave President Obama the prize when he had not really done anything deserving. His reply was that the committee in...- tuold

Smoking Pipes and Picking Locks (What's your hobby?)
I write music for a hobby. Pipe smoking is the perfect accompaniment to that. If I get a creative block, all I have to do is sit back, take a few puffs and something will come to me. Anyway, it's better than just sitting there staring at my desk or pounding my forehead with the palm of my hand...- tuold

Notice of unpaid tobacco tax in NJ
The administrative overhead costs incurred in collecting that $6.96 far outweighs any revenue the tax might ever bring in. Such stupidity.- tuold

If You Had To Do It All Over Again
@pipesmokingtom Just the opposite for me. I didn't have much access to help and advice when I started so I missed out on a lot of enjoyment from my solo pipe smoking efforts. I didn't realize what I was missing until I started reading this forum and watching videos a few years ago. Some people...- tuold

Sometimes You Gotta Love Mail -- Classified Ad Pays Off (Pics)
I have the suspicion that bag was originally used to carrier farrier tools. Not that it matters, because it still makes a nice home for that Dunhill! If you do a google image search for farrier tools you will see there has been a tradition of fine leather bags made for them. At any rate, I think...- tuold

P&C 20% discount
Pipes and Cigars is 2,866 miles from my house and my order got here (intact) in four days. That was with free shipping. That was my twenty-third order with them. The only problem was with one backorder that went on for months. Maybe I've been lucky, but for now I have confidence in them.- tuold

Arlington Pipes
I have an Arlington bent billiard and find it to be good pipe. I'd reckon it to be above drug store pipe quality and just below the old Kaywoodies. Most seem to a sterling silver band and good grain. Mine has nice thick chamber walls and a good draw, even using the removable stinger. It's... -
Are There Any GOOD Internet News Sites?
Two of my favorite news sites, The Washington Post and the New York Times both printed editorials saying (in essence) the current election is too important for them to retain traditional journalistic ethics and unbiased reporting. I appreciated them admitting something of which I already was...- tuold

The Bad Dad Joke Thread
Walking down the street with my dad on a hot summer day, I noticed the sidewalk on the other side of the street was tree lined and suggested we walk over there. Dad said, "I don't know, those trees look pretty shady".- tuold

Ordered A Pouch of Carter Hall for the First Time.
Somebody recently sent me a sample that smoked the other day. I was pleasantly surprised. A bit on the sweet/sugary side, but enjoyable. It burned well. It's pretty mild and I can see some guys smoking this as an all day blend. I like something with a little more distinctive taste for my once...- tuold

My First 320 And Some TAD
If my house were on fire my Sav 320 would be the first pipe I grab. The only negative might be its weight, but that's countered by a substantial and partially bent stem and button that makes it easy to clench.- tuold
