Great Grandfathers 5 pipes
Smoke them, and remember the old man when you do. Other than hand tools, books, guns, and maybe a car, what other things can a man pass so easily from one generation to the next?- portascat

Does Anyone Know Anything About Mitchell Thomas Pipes?
Actually, they are not bad pipes. The are Aldo Velani seconds, so far as I can tell. I have one I bought at a Ft. Worth, Texas head shop (long story, and I think I have told it here, before). One of my best smokers, and a damn handsome pipe. -
In praise of Dr Grabow pipes
I have several Grabows in my regular rotation. They smoke well enough, and whenever I grab one, I am not thinking "I am going to have a worse smoke than the Peterson, but I am going to have to deal with it". If I don't like how a pipe smokes, it just doesn't stay in the rotation. I will say...- portascat

Do Meerschaum pipes need to rest
Russ Ouelette agrees with me on the following, so it's good enough for me. It is the general belief (with some notable dissenters) that briar pipes should be rested for the number of days as the bowls smoked through it. So in other words, smoke a bowlful in a briar, rest that pipe at least a...- portascat

Need to Vent a Bit
Hell, I been through so many weird relationships and breakups it is a surprise I even care to continue on with them. Am married now, been so for 4 years, second wife. And it is good.

Experimenting with Old School Blends
I smoke a bit of Sir Walter, but a couple ounces will last me a long time. It is a good mix with something like BCA or 1Q. Have wanted to try Sugar Barrel since seeing it, but have never pulled the trigger- portascat
