    Please Don't Re-Run That Molto Dolce Ad

    When I first heard the advertisement, I thought it was overlong and cheesy. It may have bordered on poor taste. Even without the accent, I know of no female that would talk like that. A female hearing it may be very upset with the concept. However, if you look at some of the tobacco...

    New Emperor Leopaldo Story

    After a period of time, and now that I am 'retired' I have written a new Emperor Leopaldo Saga story. The story is entitled "Master Penman" and may be found on my website http://mysite.verizon.net/seilerjp/ . It will be on pipedia later this week. As usual, feedback is appreciated.

    Blue Book for Pipes

    One of the problems is that pipe prices seem to fluctuate quickly. An "in" pipe maker today may be 'out' tomorrow. Sometimes it may vary from show to show.

    President of the Order of Collegiate Pipe Smokers on 7/25/2013

    Another good show. I met these gentlemen and ladies at last year's and this year's Chicago Show. Before that I always thought 'CMU' meant Carnegie Mellon University, now I know better.

    The New Capstan Blue Flake

    At our pipe club meeting last Friday night, I supplied a 1999 tin of the Capstan Brown label. We opened it and it was still moist. The tin aroma was heavenly and it smoked just as good. All 7 of us thought it was one of the best tobaccos we had ever smoked. Cellar it guys.

    Another New Emperor Leopaldo Story - Dark Night

    Ok, So Brian's interview with Fred Hanna last week gave me an idea for a new story. I admit that I heard Fred's talk on vitamin N at Chicago. The result is "Dark Night" a story that combines the usual Pipe collecting/Pipe Smoking & Science Fiction along with drugs and murder. Enjoy...

    Who Has Listened to Every PM Magazine Radio Show?

    I have listened to every show since episode #1 and they keep getting better. Brian does a fine job. It is the hit of my Thursday evening, usually with a bowl of McClelland #5100.

    2 Additional Stories to Emperor Leopaldo Saga

    As requested, little further information from my website: Emperor Leopaldo is the head of a feudalistic society far in the future where pipe collecting/pipe smoking is not politically incorrect, rather it is highly esteemed among the aristocracy. The stories were written by myself, a pipe...

    New Emperor Leopaldo Story

    I have thought about if the stories had any commercial value and came to the conclusion that they did not. I wrote the stories to fill a hole I perceived in that there was no pipe & tobacco literature available for the pipe collector/pipe smoker. I write them to be satisfactory to one person...

    Recommended Starter Tobacco

    I concur with the Lane 1Q recommendation and would suggest McClelland 5100 as a nice mellow Virginia.
