    She's NOT Going to Make it After All

    You forget how old some of these folks are because you think of them from seeing their tv shows over and over again and they are frozen in time. The colorized Dick van Dyke episode that was on CBS a few weeks ago was fun to watch. Even my 9 year old enjoyed it. Good jokes and storyline without...

    What Music Are You Listening To? - January 2017

    Vintage Tins: Butera Golden Cake & Gawith BBF

    I'm more interested in the Ramsgate than the MacBaren's in that last picture. Also the CAO tins on bottom.

    *** What Are You Smoking?*** (January 2017)

    In the garage with some Cabbie's Mixture in an old Kaywoodie poker. Thanks Secret Santa!

    What do you do for a living?

    Absurd purchases are relative. I probably spend more than I should on this hobby, yet I eat out maybe 2-3 times a month, drive my car until it's not worth keeping and am typing this on a 4 year old phone. This is my outlet. You'll find "absurd" to you purchases on every specialty...

    Flea Bay And Penzance

    I'm confused. Ebay pulls listings for tobacco, yet they send me emails almost daily with new listings of tobacco tins for sale...

    The (un)Official Pipes Magazine Secret Santa - 2016 Edition

    Thanks secret Santa! My package arrived on Saturday with tins of El Nino (a favorite), Rattray's Stirling Flake, Samuel Gawith Cabbie's Mixture (can't wait to try both of them) and a 2011 tin of Christmas Cheer (I really want to open that one now, but may hold off until spring). That was a very...

    David Jones Pipes

    He makes a nice pipe at a great price. I won a poker on ebay a couple of months ago. Nice, thick walls and a large bowl. He also enclosed a handwritten thank you note. It made me wish I could have bought it in person.

    Two New Pipes for the Collection

    Very nice, especially the bent one. What happened to the original stems to require their replacement?

    What To Do About Mold In Unnamed Manufacturer Tins

    I'm keeping what I have of the problematic blends. I kept 5 tins of the recalled blend with only one getting moldy. I have a worse track record with produce. They seem to have done a good job in responding to the issue. I will continue to buy their blends while hoping they get a handle on the...

    The (un)Official Pipes Magazine Secret Santa - 2016 Edition

    Nate, I'll send you a bowl of Hanukkah tobacco but you need to burn it for 8 days. :-)

    *** What Are You Smoking?*** (November 2016)

    Motzek Herbst 84 in an unfinished Savinelli Canadian. My reward for a day of yard work.

    Spanu Pipes Wood Question

    I'm leaning toward briar because all the Spanu pipes of alternative wood I've seen have been smooth. I have an olive Spanu that I love. His cork wrapped briars are pretty good looking.

    *** What Are You Smoking?*** (November 2016)

    Margate in an Amphora author. For 5 dollars, the best bang for the buck pipe I have.

    The (un)Official Pipes Magazine Secret Santa - 2016 Edition

    I'm in. No real dislikes, but I don't smoke much in the way of 3 or 4 aromatics. My biggest likes are bolder tobaccos, doesn't matter what kind of leaf and long walks on the beach.

    *** What Are You Smoking?*** (October 2016)

    Strang in a Brebbia Go-Go.

    Backbreaking 'Til The Last Minute

    My two cents: 1. Have you been able to do any searches online to perhaps hook up with another artist there where you can work as a job or hobby? You may also be able to give adult education classes as an outlet. I would think Minneapolis or a surrounding area would have a creative hot spot. 2...

    Groaners

    I didn't like her apartment, so I knocked her flat. I got a weak back. I got it about a week back.

    Notice of unpaid tobacco tax in NJ

    "If you lived in NY that bill would have been $13.33 as NY charges 75% tax on tobacco. How is that even legal?" That's just the tobacco tax, don't forget the roughly 8% sales tax depending on where you live in the state. It stinks to live near some great shops like Park Lane and Cup o' Joes and...
