But, here are a couple of pics just to show you... click on pics to enlarge Mixing up some of my "Captain Bob's...- captainbob

P&T Magazine Summer 2013 Issue is a Travesty
I think the cover was very attractive. I was attracted to the briar. Then, I saw the hardware. That is not for me. But, I did appreciate the briar. I am currently reading this issue so I do not have a "grade" for this issue as of yet. But, so far, I am enjoying it...- captainbob

Appropriate Jar Size?
The Quart-size for long term storage and the small ones for daily use. I seldom use a pouch except when I must carry a daily load when the small jars are not practical. However, that is seldom as my car is never far away. Plus, I have an office job and use jars in the office rather than a...- captainbob

Claudio Cavicchi
Most of my pipes are made by Bob Hayes (www.bobhayespipes.com). However, I do own one Cavicchi 5c pictured below. It is a wonderful smoking pipe and as a 5c it is flawless (and very expensive). If you can find one it will be $500 or more. click to enlarge...- captainbob

Carey Magic Inch
About 25 years ago I was a loyal purchaser of the Carey Magic Inch pipe. However, while I had a dozen of his pipes, I tired of the soaking and dripping of the sleeve. As a result, I abandoned buying anymore and now smoke only non-filtered premium briar pipes made by Bob Hayes. I rotate my...- captainbob

P&T Magazine Summer 2013 Issue is a Travesty
I thought the cover was excellent. Then I delved into all the hardware which took away from the briar that I was attracted to. It doesn't really matter to me, anyway. Overall, I thought the content of this issue was better than last month. I love the short-stories by Mark Monroe Dion. I met...- captainbob

Not An Expert On Gin But.....
I never destroy a great gin with any mixer of any sort. When I drink gin it is Bombay (original, not Saphire) on the rocks. Why anyone would mix anything with a premium Gin is beyond me. Besides, after the first one, it really doesn't matter. So, after the first one, go cheap and mix to your...- captainbob

Half & Half Plus
Deer-Tongue is an Herb. It is very expensive and hard to come by. Cornell & Diehl has a supply of it. The late, Craig Tarler, of C&D told me they guard it with their life! Its use was common many years ago in pipe tobacco. It imparts a flavor of cinnamon-apple (in my opinion). However, it...- captainbob

Half & Half Plus
In answer to the question of adding deer-tongue to a pouch of Half and Half: Add one-half teaspoon to a pouch of Half and Half and mix it well. The top dressing of Half and Half is a combination of sauces. In my opinion, I came close to it years ago by mixing half Burley with Half Gold...- captainbob
