    Eye Floaters

    Public service announcement, this is super important. The first time you notice flashes of light in your eye you need to see a retinal surgeon immediately to rule out a retinal tear or other possible health issues. If a retinal tear is left untreated you can lose vision. I tore both of mine and...

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2024?***

    Semois in a Wiley with coffee. Amazing how different this tastes in a clay vs. a cob vs. a briar. I like it best in the clay.

    Up at 1:30 A.M. to get a brisket in the smoker for a party later today. It's Semois in a cob and lots of coffee. Gotta keep that temp steady on the pit.

    Thanks Mark. Seems like you're only smoking meers these days ? Yes, but the wait was my fault. This pipe started out as a Bill Cole smooth billiard.:LOL:

    Haddo's in my new Anthony Hopkins (Castle Briars) panel. It took a year to get this pipe because I kept changing my mind on what I wanted. I'm lucky in that Anthony is a friend and lives here in Denver, so I was able to go to his house and pick out a block. I've been pheasant hunting with his...

    Conflicting Pipe Smoking Advice!

    That depends on the blend. You'll learn the right moisture for each blend. Not super light or super heavy. Also somewhat blend dependent. I don't care for codger blends, but they do burn easily. Again, blend dependent. Some will smoke dry to the bottom. Others will give you a wet heel. So...

    B&M Find: Radice Oil Cured & Twin Bore (info?)

    Nice pipe. I think the twin bore is just a gimmick. Had one and sold it.

    Amen brother. I just ordered my third one, this time from Dack. It must be older stock because it's in S30V and comes with the standard G10 camo scales. My other two are in CruWear and S90V, so opposite ends of the spectrum. This one will be in the Goldilocks zone. Dack runs some killer deals on...

    Schrade Walden 880. The Walden stamp was dropped in mid 1973 according to AAPK, so it can't be any newer than that. Don't laugh, but it sits by my computer and I use it to trim my cuticles. Stop laughing already.

    Boker Kalashnikov in CTS-XHP. This spends the most time in my pocket only because it's my work knife. As a cabinetmaker I totally abuse it by scraping metal and plastic, digging with the point, prying and all manner of ill conceived ideas. Sometimes I even cut with it ! I used to buy Spyderco...
