To Cube or Roll...
I like to partially rub coins out but almost always cube-cut the flakes. I agree with Harris - it provides a consistent and even-burning flavorful smoke.- jbbaldwin

TAPS
True. I'm often asked by parents if their children should pursue a career in music. I always tell them, "if you absolutely can't imagine doing anything else, then yes; otherwise, go into a profession that will let you make enough money to keep playing for the love of it." I didn't mean to...- jbbaldwin

TAPS
I'm a horn player and orchestra teacher - BM and MA from George Mason University (the little engine that almost could from the basketball tournament a few years ago). Who was your teacher at Manhattan - Vacchiano?- jbbaldwin

TAPS
I had the honor of playing Taps for my grandfather's funeral years ago. He was a WWII vet. (That funeral tore me up. I didn't expect the members of his American Legion post filing in and saluting his casket one by one -- nobody does ceremony like the military.) At the graveside with the...- jbbaldwin

Flying Dutchman Pipe Tobacco
I'd like to try the tobacco, but it's hard to believe it would live up to this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVgS03XLWwE- jbbaldwin

Thoughts On J.M. Boswells Pipes
My CW and bent billiard are both small pipes - wonderful for flakes. I haven't ventured into his larger pipes, not to mention Grizzly territory - they look like they'd be uncomfortable in the mouth, although I saw J.M. clenching one in his shop one afternoon several years ago. He looked a...- jbbaldwin

Thoughts On J.M. Boswells Pipes
I have three of J.M.'s pipes. One is a churchwarden. It's a freehand, like most of his pipes, with a rusticated front (which I don't particularly like but I make an exception in this case) and some very nice flame grain on the rest of the bowl and the shank. The bowl is small by anyone's...- jbbaldwin

Not An Expert On Gin But.....
I bought a bottle yesterday, having missed it the last time it was available (2001). It's really something. The alcohol content is slightly less, coming in at 80 proof, and the drink itself seems less medicinal and "softer" than Tanqueray's standard London Dry offering. I'm a martini man, and...- jbbaldwin

Question About Tolkien's Pipe
Maybe he was just playing sharp. :D My wife laughed at that, so I thought I'd post it. Non-wind players: move on; there's nothing to see here.- jbbaldwin

Samuel Gawith's Full Virginia Flake
+Love+ FVF. Needs some drying, but I don't find it to be the persnickety flake some folks do. The effort it takes is rewarded in flavor, to me, at least.- jbbaldwin

Let's Have Some Fun! Tobaccos You HATE!
Esoterica Cardiff. I bought an 8-oz. bag on spec from my local B&M. It was in the old packaging, with the old price. I love Penzance, and I love Virginias, so I was happy to bring it home. It burned the ever-loving daylights out my mouth. I tried it mixed with everything I could think of...- jbbaldwin

Charatan Pipe
Overpaid? No way. Looks great, and should be fine smoker. I think you did really well.
