    General MacArthur's Pipe

    AnotherBob is allowed his opinion without you making it personal. Did you raise the flag at Iwo Jima? Zalusky, the stone donator, did not. In fact, the 6 men that did were in a squad that included Sargent Ernie Provost (a now-deceased but always remembered dear friend and colleague and not...

    Broken Pipe - Rolando Negoita

    Rolando passed away yesterday. I will leave to those that knew him, the responsibility of remembrance. I know that he is the kind of person I would love to have had as a friend. From what I have read, he attacked life, whether making pipes or ice climbing, with the gusto we all wish we had in...

    The Steak I Ate The Steak (Food Porn)

    BTW, the "blood" leaking out of a steak is not blood...it is water and myoglobin.

    What Are The Physics Of "Thick Wall = Cool Smoke"?

    Q/t = kAdT/d where: Q = heat transferred, t = time, k = thermal conductivity constant for briar wood, A = cross-section of the area conducting thermal energy, dT = difference in temp between the inner bowl and outer bowl wall, d = thickness of the wall. So Q/t is the amount of heat transferred...

    JM Boswell Tobacco Suggestions

    In the 80s we hiked the AT from Georgia to Pine Grove in Pennsylvania. Our time ran out. Should be a great hike. Bear Blend and Northwoods are safe choices. One other middle English blend that I cannot remember is a good choice too. A

    Eggs: Which Way?

    Scrambled but not murdered. Good grief, people have a hard time not turning scrambled eggs into gravel size nurdles. Oh, and with grits, bacon, toast, and a few grilled jalapenos.

    Jim's Watch City English Ernie-ental Review.

    Sigh. Oh well, maybe he will do a similar release in the future. I am heading to Boston this weekend...I will drop in to give him some other business.

    Covid and Wear Your Masks!

    Covid sucks. My 23 yr old daughter contracted Covid (17 days ago) and is not considered viral/contagious. In other words, she is out of quarantine. She is now on the way to the Emergency room and will most likely be admitted for pulmonary issues related to Covid. Our oldest son was deployed...

    Keep Puffing Boys, Keep Puffing

    With weather as cold as it is at the moment, I will keep snuffing away when I cannot get to a pipe.

    Keep Puffing Boys, Keep Puffing

    .....or isnt at all. I am not saying that this study will survive peer review but the anecdotal evidence is convincing. Lets see a long term study with controls.

    Pan Fried Korean Pork Chop

    That looks delicious. We have been into Korean food lately. With eating out being difficult at best, we are branching out from our Italian heritage and trying different cultures foods. We have a crock full of Kimchee fermenting away and this weekend we are making: Cheese Buldak

    Henry Aaron Has Passed Away.

    Hank is the only autograph I wanted as a kid. I was in the stadium when he hit 714...we made the trek from St. Simons Island to Atlanta for the game. It was amazing. He lived through and experienced the worst of mankind but still came out on top. A genuinely good guy...as Jim said above, he...

    Any Masons Here?

    Brings to mind Louis L'Amour's "Education of a wandering man". A great read.

    How Cold Is Too Cold?

    Just returned from a walk/smoke at -10C. I have walked/smoked at -14C. It all depends on the humidity and wind.

    Yes, and it was OK.. I will not do it again..Billy Budd satisfies any cigar (civet cat smoke) desire I might be having.
