    PAD...Clinically

    My posture on this issue is out of the mainstream, which is not unusual for me... I maintain that PAD stands for Pipe Acquisition Delight. OK, so you spent the lunch money and your clothes are wearing thin. You have the right to sing the Blues. What other pastime, save possibly Tobacco...

    Thanks for the photos and updates. Not being able to attend is a problem for me, and getting these reports helps me to be there in spirit.

    My favorite E-tailers

    I'd like to mention http://www.marscigars.com/ as well. Mike provides excellent Customer Service & access to blends that others don't offer. He's not the cheapest, but includes freebies and has even provided blends that were Not In Stock, at regular prices.

    How Long Does Ghosting Last?

    Certainly cleaning a Pipe will help to reduce the time spend in exorcising ghosts of past smokes. There are blends that will take more time than others to get out of a Pipe. Another aspect to this chore is the blend(s) that are used to smoke the ghost(s) out. For me, a Virginia or...

    What was your first Peterson`s pipe?

    For me, the Sherlock Holmes Original Meerschaum caught my attention. It's a great smoker.

    Anyone spend time with an unlit pipe?

    Yes, infrequently I enjoy the charms of an unlit Pipe. I've always thought that it's another part of Pipe smoking.

    Slave to the White Goddess - By Fred Bass

    Writing these articles has been a lot of fun and a joy to find that others like them. These writings represent the collective efforts of the All Things Meerschaum Group to separate fact from myth regarding these white Pipes and their culture, which continues today. These topics of...

    Meer Exporters

    A suprise package

    Favorite baccy Brands and Makes

    This is a question where the answer will change, as I enjoy a large number of blends. Today, it's St. Bruno Flake.

    Don’t Think of a Purple Giraffe By G. L. Pease

    Greg really does a great job of discussing aspects of tobacco blending and appreciation. This is difficult, as the language breaks down in it's ability to be clear. Well done.

    PAD strikes again
