    Show Us Your First Pipe

    This is not my first pipe, but the only one left from my early pipe smoking days ca. 1985...a humble, Savinelli Roma 707. Glad I kept this one - it has seen many different blends and it is my go to for trying out new blends.

    Managing A “Cellar”

    Since I’ve gotten back into pipe smoking last March, I use a Google spreadsheet to track pipes, dates and blends smoked on one sheet, and tobacco including dates received & dated opened. Of course its easy to track 12 pipes and about 25 different tobacco blends. Some of the cellars posted on...

    All-Salami Diet

    Certainly not an all salami diet but for me, I could live on San Francisco Molinari Salami, sourdough, a hunk of cheese and wine - that’s 4 out of the 5 Italian food groups according to my family.
