    I Have An Opinion

    I have a tin of Presbyterian Mixture in the cellar that I haven’t tried, this review is helpful.

    Definitely a blend that I enjoy. Many of the OTC blends are enjoyable smokes that have lasted for a reason.

    After 49 Years of The PipeLife, These Three Win

    Nice pipes, I am in a similar position. I have about 120 pipes and about a quarter or more of my smokes are with three of them. The comfy, no fuss, straight forward good smoking qualities for the win. Mine are pedestrian compared to these but they are reliable.

    Your "No Fuss/Go To" Tobacco?

    No fuss, no thinking, I’ll reach for MM 965.

    Soulless Tobacco Containers.

    The down side is that some manufacturers decided not to do plain packaging so we lost access to some products in tins at local B&Ms.

    Do You Remember G.L.O.W.?

    Everytime wrestling came to town when I was a kid my Grandma would take us. We always watched as a family on TV on Sundays. This was long before WWF or WWE.

    Oh My... Lookie What I Found :)

    Nice find! I have a few McClelland tins sitting in my cellar. I think I still remember what they are. Need to age longer so they can become a pleasant discovery.

    Older Guys: What are Your Thoughts?

    I always looked for a job that was meaningful, challenging and rewarding that would allow me to be present for my wife and kids. The hours were long and hard but it was possible to match them to the rhythm of family life to a degree. My wife chose not to work when the children were small. The...

    And Pigs Might Fly....

    It’s always more complicated than it seems on the surface. Creating biofuels from waste sounds like a no-brainer but in reality once the dominoes start to fall you realize it will take a well thought out plan to achieve reasonable goals. That is best case scenario, let’s not waste or pig fat!

    Dear Gawith & Hoggarth

    Just got a delivery of some G&H blends, well if that don’t beat all. They’re bulk so I’ll just jar it up and of course start to enjoy some great tobacco.

    Dear Gawith & Hoggarth

    I haven’t seen the other thread but will say that I too appreciate @gawithhoggarth for the straightforward willingness to engage here and the product as it is available.

    Medicine, Dry-Mouth, Bite and Burn

    I also take topiramate for migraines. I have not experienced this side effect. Could be a lot of reasons for that. I was managing my migraines successfully without medication for many years partly because I didn’t like the way previous medications affected my system. However, ten years ago I...

    Best Refillable Lighter-- Xikar, IM Corona or Peterson?

    I have tried a lot of lighters because I have mobility issues with my hands. The Xikar was a problem from the moment I got it, can’t recommend. The two I consistently use now are my Corona IM Old Boy and a dollar store refillable version of the bic ez-reach. Meets and exceeds all my needs with...

    If You Have PAD, Don’t Read This Thread: William’s Estate Briar Pipes

    I have also purchased several pipes from William. They have ranged from high end to beaters. I have always assumed that there was risk with the limited, poor pictures and was willing to take the risk. I would ask for more pictures and details if I wasn’t comfortable with the risk. Once I had...

    Do You Remember G.L.O.W.?

    LOL. I always found myself a little embarrassed if I watched it but my wife finds it hilarious so that has eased the pain, now we can both laugh about it.

    Family Reunions

    Good on those of you who are able to keep these important family traditions alive. For a variety of reasons some that life seemed to make inevitable and others a little harder to reconcile there are so many broken branches in my family tree a reunion seems too hopeful.

    Packing a Pipe

    Agree with drying to the level you prefer, dry seems best for me, a touch more moisture for aros seems to provide more flavour. Still not even close to wet. Then I gravity feed or scoop to fill bowl, tap side of bowl to settle tobacco maybe a light press on the top of the tobacco if needed and...
