Sometimes, My Friends, Nothing Matters But The Smoke
I was listening to "The Seven Last Words of Jesus Christ" by Heinrich Schutz while enjoying my Friday night pipe tonight. It's amazing how the centuries melt away with a good smoke. Of course the Canadian Mist helps the effect, but the pipe is central. Great post Anthony. so true.- tuold

My Wife Bought A Pipe - Molded Briar?
Manufacturers have been experimenting with alternate pipe making materials for many years. I have a 1930s Douglas pipe that is made from pressed and formed briar and it smokes very nicely. I'd put some Molto Dolce in there and give it a try....carefully though. -
Booooo I Haven't Been Able To Smoke A pipe In Two Weeks!
I know the feeling. When the economic downturn started five or six years ago the hospital cut a lot FTEs. Now we have patients parked in hallways awaiting rooms. Have we added staff back? Nope. I'm looking forward to stuffing one of my Jumbo Wellingtons with a choice tobacco on Friday night and...- tuold

hello can anyone help me find out about my new pipe
Here's a Comet Tobacco image: If it is a premium pipe it could still be quite collectible, like the Dr Grabow Belvedere pipes. I'd still love to see a picture of it.- tuold

Welcoming Peterson No.3
metalheadycigarguy, when you are in a position to treat yourself to a new pipe I think Peterson pipes are maybe a very good combination of thrift and quality. That Aran Oom Paul was just under a hundred bucks. That's not the kind of money I can just spend without budgeting, but when some extra... -
Pipe smoking and health. A personal story
Happy to hear your good report. The only thing that's going to kill me is overwork. I don't recall every reading anything about that in the SG's report! newbroom is right. I assume you are going to follow up on whatever is causing your chest pains? I'm guessing your heart is fine but you have...- tuold

Welcoming Peterson No.3
danielplainview said: Yes, and if this PAD keeps up it just may come again. trailboss requested: I'm not very good describing how things taste, but I will say in comparison to PS Balkan Supreme which I am very familiar with it's a little more subtle and refined or complex, I think some might... -

Welcoming Peterson No.3
I cashed in some more paid leave in advance of some new tax rules for next year and picked up this Peterson Aran Oom Paul as well as a pound of Larry's Blend. (Thanks Pipes & Cigars for throwing in the free knife!) I just started breaking it in last night. (The pipe, not the knife) That hefty... -

Medico pipes
My Medico Jet Streams are always in my rotation. There are others I pick up from time to time. The Guardsmans are good pipes. The older Medicos can be very good buys. I recently picked up my second Medico Brylon pipe, this Onyx: For a six dollar pipe...well...hey, it works! And as many here... -
My Totally Non Scientific Observation About My Best Smokers
For a year or more I only bought old estate pipes. When I started buying new comparably shaped pipes I was a little surprised at the heft and density of them. It would be interesting to know from an expert what changes briar undergoes after 30, 60 or eighty years.- tuold

The infamous Kyle Black.......is back?, from Marty Pulvers "The Mill"
I've been bidding in auctions when a seller suddenly cancels my bid and ends the auction at the last minute. I don't think sellers should be allowed to do that. After all, my bid is considered my promise to pay if I win. I think the seller should have the same commitment in accepting my bid to...- tuold

Near-Death Experiences
I had an experiance very much like Frankenstein's except I was able to exit my room and move several blocks away to visit a friend of mine. I wanted to show him what I could do. I vividly remember floating at the same level as the traffic lights at the intersection. I had never seen one from...- tuold

Supergrain with original box: Rescue attempt
Nice find and beautiful rescue! I also have a Kaywoodie "Hand Made" Supergrain in the original sock and box that I'm still working on. The bit is in terrible shape so I don't think it will every look as good as yours. If I don't end up destroying it I'll post pictures sometime. My prime...- tuold
