    Describe the Flavor of 1Q

    I'm not sure what it is, either. It's sweet, that much is for certain. The room note is, too. It's a real wife-pleaser. She walked into the garage during my last bowl and she just said "mmm". I asked her later about it, and she just said it was like walking into a sweet cloud. Simon

    Plumcake MacBaren navy blend 50g

    There's a good video review of it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfHwyXtE3SA I find it lightly aromatic. It's got a fantastic tin note, and my wife likes the room note. Simon

    December, 2010 What Are You Smoking?

    Hey, Russ Ouellette! I've got a new idea for a blend for you. Maybe with some essence of bacon, too... Simon

    December, 2010 What Are You Smoking?

    1-Q in my 4-pin Brigham volcano. Man, this stuff is easy smokin'. Got Towers of Midnight on my lap. I've been putting off reading it because I was writing all month. Simon

    Rich Gottlieb of 4noggins.com Interview

    I remember when Rich first got started. Got a few emails from him, because I'd been taking part over at pipes.org. Since he stressed international shipping, I always kept him in mind. Great that he's doing well and sounds like he's having fun, too. Must... resist... going to... his site...

    Joining NaNoWriMo this year

    That's why I use a 1962 Underwood. I tried posting to the PM forums once from it, and the page layout was all broken. :-P Simon

    Joining NaNoWriMo this year

    My novel is science fiction, with a female main character who was dying. Her husband arranges for an experimental recording of her brain. She then wakes up far, far away in the distant future, where her genome and brain pattern have be reconstituted into a force-grown body. Lots of stuff...

    Joining NaNoWriMo this year

    Congrats, reddazes! I, too, crossed the 50k mark: 55464 words. My novel isn't complete, though. I bit off a larger story this year. December to finish it, and I'm going to spend time in 2011 editing. Simon

    TAD Purchases

    I feel your pain. My smoking has dropped off noticeably now that my only option is the garage under the heater. Come on summer 2011! Simon

    Welcome New Members. Introduce Yourself. (2)

    I'll extend a Canadian welcome to Clay (ulsterpaddy), as I live just across a body of water from him in Victoria. And tonight I am in fact in Vancouver on business. No time for pipes tonight, though. Any recommendations on Vancouver tobacconists, Clay? Simon

    What are You Reading?

    I've got "The Towers of Midnight" by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson sitting on the shelf behind me, begging to be read. But I'm not reading it until NaNoWriMo is over. It's killing me! Simon

    iPhone

    Not a iPhone, but an iPod Touch. I don't have a computer on the back porch or in the garage, so if I'm surfing to PM.com while I'm smoking a pipe, it's on the Touch. If it's when I should be working, it's on... oops, gotta go. Simon

    Vauen pipes....

    That's pretty interesting information, gunner! Thanks for posting it. I picked up a Vauen 3108 this past summer. Didn't know anything about the manufacturer, but I loved the look and it felt great in the hand. It's turned out to be my favorite pipe. Simon
