    Who Is Your Favorite Pipe Tobacco Blender?

    Ernie Q, the Peretti folks, John Brandt (whom I wish would mail his wonderful blends to addresses in Massachusetts). I also like what Ken Byron does. Come to think of it, I'd also include Uhle's.

    What Happens When You Put the Pipe Down?

    When I’m home, which is most of the time, generally two pipes a day. When I travel, no smokes, and no impact.

    The Incomparable Comedic Genius of Jonathan Winters

    I interviewed him in the late 1980’s on KMDY (KoMeDY) Radio in Thousand Oaks, CA. It wasn’t really an interview. I welcomed him, and he delivered a 20 minute monologue. He was hysterical and a bit scary 😊

    That Wonderful First Couple Hours in the Morning.

    Up at 6:00. Let the canines out. Make the coffee. Feed the canines. Bring wife her coffee. Retire to the pipe room with coffee and iPad. Exit at 7:20 for morning meeting with wife. Priceless!

    Are tobacco reviews really of much value?

    Reviews are very helpful to me, when they reference nicotine strength or intensity. I can smoke almost any style blend as long as the nicotine hit is mild. Also, I do enjoy reading them!

    What was your first blend and is it part of your current rotation?

    Borkum Riff, and no. Followed by Balkan Sobranie in the little white tin, and also no. This was 1969 or 1970.

    Alice Brock of Alice's Restaurant Fame Dies at Age 83.

    I had mixed feelings about the movie. I live in the Berkshires where Arlo is kind of like a living patron saint.
