    Burned The *Heck* Out Of My Finger

    There's the old saying "once burned, twice shy" I emptied out a bowl in the palm of my hand once, thinking there were no hot ashes left. There were - ouch! I didn't raise blisters like you did, but I never did that again.

    Tommy Lee as MacArthur - Pipe

    I have heard a few stories, including one from an officer who was his aide at one time, that he smoked cigars more than the pipe. The aide said he only saw him with the pipe a few times. I also saw somewhere online that he had MM put burn marks on the pipes to give them a used appearance. When...

    Porcelain Pipes

    I had one years ago made by Royal Goedewaagen. It was an apple shape with a double wall and had a windmall painted on it in Delft blue.

    So What Are You Drinking

    Most of my smoking this time of year is while on the computer with a big cup of tea with a little sugar. PG Tips, Typhoo or Mighty Leaf, usually. Tonight it's Typhoo.

    Pipe Promotion -

    I think you could learn all you need to about smoking a cigarette in 5 minutes. Pipe smoking has a long learning curve that requires patience, commitment and dedication. I don't think the vast majority of cigarette smokers want to make that commitment. We had a few posts here recently, where...

    Glad to hear that your surgery went well, Harris. Take things slow and don't try to rush the recovery.

    Making a Meerschaum Online Purchase via Western Union Money Transfer

    I have seen numerous reports saying that one sign the transaction is a fraud is the requirement to use Western Union for payment. Follow the advice you're getting here and stay away. It's the voice of experience.

    Tobacco Sleuthing

    There are pipe shops out there that still blend their own. Living in Connecticut, I have been dealing with some of them here in New England, mainly The Owl Shop in Worcester, MA and Peretti's in Boston, MA. I talked to Joe, the blender at the Owl Shop in New Haven a few months ago and...

    Pipe Shops And Must See/Do In Boston?

    Peretti's as others have mentioned and David P. Ehrlich, who I think is still in business. Don't miss The Owl Shop, when in Worcester. I have dealt with them by phone and Zack has always been very helpful and knowledgeable. There's a walking tour in Boston called "The Freedom Trail" that you...

    Trailspike, he was a beautiful dog. His intelligence and devotion come through in the picture. As a pet owner, I know how you feel. We still talk about the dogs we had, even they are long gone.
