    Skatepark/ I'm An Old Man

    You are probably very right. Too bad that little $%#$%^%$ doesn't have a parent to teach them that lesson before someone much more dangerous does. Admittedly, I don't have a very heavy/physical hand with my kids, but when my voice gets low and quiet they really pay attention. I've taught them...

    Skatepark/ I'm An Old Man

    Took the kids to the local park/skatepark earlier and had a bit of a culture shock. On our way in, a kid asked me for a cigarette (I was smoking a pipe packed with University Flake). I asked, "Does it look like I'm smoking a cigarette?" He skated off and I thought about myself as a 13 year...

    New Tobacco

    If you like both perique and latakia, try GLP Quiet nights. It's a great smoke that highlights both tobaccos brilliantly.

    Army Wins

    Nice pic. That was a fun game to watch. I'm a big Buckeye fan, but enjoy college football in general. Much more fun to watch than the NFL. Although that may be because I'm a Browns fan :oops:

    What Blend Have You Discovered This Year?

    I definitely need to give St. Bruno a try, I liked Warrior plug a lot and wish I had tried McQuaid when available

    Difficult Smoking Coarse Cut

    Rubbing it out more will certainly help, but I personally like fairly course for good flavor and longer burning. Maybe try drying it out more while leaving the coarseness and see if that helps

    Favorite Type/Brand of Knife

    warren, I also have a couple Swiss army knives I really like. Gotta dig those thin/sharp and durable blades. tbradsim1, I have a couple similar knives, but not the ZT brand, always wanted to check one out. I like the look of your knife, sir.

    Hello, My Name is Banjo and I Smoke a Pipe

    Glad to see you back. I've looked forward too and enjoyed your posts for a long time, even back when I was a lurker.

    Favorite Type/Brand of Knife

    I'm also a knife collector and was wondering who else out there collects knives. I generally prefer traditional pocket/folding knives and have, for years, been collecting knives made by Great Eastern Cutlery. I also have some older Schrade and Case knives and some newer Spyderco knives. What...

    Need Replacement Stem for Stanwell 62

    I don't have the answer to your question, but wanted to say, nice pipe. I really like the look of that one. Good luck on the stem replacement.

    BANISHED!

    metalheadcigarguy, that is an amazing setup! When I was married, I only smoked outside and in the garage. Now, when my kids are home, I still only smoke outside, but when they're at school or their grandparents house I smoke inside. I like both as the experience is different. Make the most...

    Aging Tobacco

    In my experience, age always helps harshness to some degree. There are a few tobaccos that I prefer fresh though. Black Mallory and GLP Westminster are a couple I prefer fresh, but most are a little better for me with at least 8 months age if not a couple years.

    Peterson's University Flake

    One of my staples. I smoke UF at least once a week. I've been smoking this blend for over 10 years and have noticed some small differences, but it is essentially the same and scratches the same itch

    Advent Calendar

    My kids have an advent calendar, maybe I'll do a tobacco one for myself. Good idea!

    Watch Out or Watch On?

    Nice watches guys! I've always worn a watch as long as I can remember. Currently, I wear an inexpensive Timex as my everyday work/beater watch (keeps great time and does "Take a licking, and keeps on ticking"), a Citizen for nicer occasions, and carry my grandfather's old "railroad" pocket...

    The (Un)Official Secret Santa 2017 Thread!

    Yup, that's me... staring into the mailbox, waiting. I have no patience. This is fun though.
