    Rodent Abatement: What's Your Preferred Method?

    Although my wife and I have done a bang-up job plugging up all the little holes/cracks/spaces on our mountain cabin where mice can get in, one still occasionally slips past the defenses. The weak point is the poorly constructed base of the attached laundry room; I'm fairly certain that the roll...

    Loose Stem

    The stem of my Savinelli Miele 611 has always had a relatively loose fit into the shank. It's not moving around or anything, but it's definitely not as snug as I feel it should be. Had a bowl of Sutliff Westminster this afternoon, let it cool down like I always do, and when I took the stem out...

    Car Headlights

    Is it just me, or has lighting in general gotten way overbearing? Specifically headlights on cars--it seems as though they are designed to blind anyone and everyone in their path, not to mention the ugly, garish white light that they all seem to uniformly put out. I feel like I'm taking a chance...

    How Cold is "Too Cold?"

    As a strictly outdoor pipe smoker living in the California mountains, once October rolls around, the battle to find (and take advantage of) acceptable conditions begins. Growing up in the San Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles, you'd think I'd be reaching for the long underwear once the...

    RIP Mike Nesmith, of The Monkees

    Just heard about this one. Age 78. Going to end my night listening to this one: RIP!

    Notice: USPS International Shipping Disruptions

    My wife and I use USPS for the online crafts business we run, so I figured this would be of note to many members on here, especially with the holiday season fast approaching. There are several countries not (currently) accepting packages from USPS, most significantly Australia and New Zealand...

    Your Favorite Haikus

    Do I love mullets? Boy howdy! Look at my head, and know the answer. and The urinal cake, Although it is pink and round, Is not truly "cake." Let the syllable counting begin!

    The Key to Perfect Eggplant Parmesan

    Soak the slices in saltwater for at least an hour prior to prep. Such a simple step, yet so tragically neglected, relegating otherwise fine slices of eggplant to perpetual bitterness. Back when I could eat in restaurants without becoming violently ill (curse Monsanto and their wicked...

    RIP Alan Hawkshaw

    84. One of my favorite soundtrack composers, will be missed for sure. I especially like this one with a martini and a bowl of Ashton Gold Rush, preferably on a yacht (not a royal one) somewhere in the Caribbean: RIP!

    P&C's Viking Pipes

    I'm pretty much a full-on TAD sufferer, without PAD making much of an appearance in my albeit brief time of pipe smoking. That said, I can't help but take a gander at the P&C catalog whenever I get a new one in the mail, especially on the toilet (really enhances the experience, I must say!)...

    RIP Lonnie Smith

    One of my favorite Hammond B3 organists, a great many of which are likewise deceased. Hope there's less gravity in the afterlife...those organs are a bitch to transport. RIP!

    RIP Melvin Van Peebles

    And just a few days away from being honored for the 50th anniversary of Sweet Sweetback's Badass Song. I was a huge blaxploitation fan back in my 20s, and I still dig the soundtracks to this day. RIP!

    RIP Norm Macdonald

    This one came outta nowhere. Leukemia at 61...unreal. I liked his work on SNL a lot. RIP!

    California Online Ordering

    I have heard a rumor or two that the State of California is planning on using the 9/14 recall election as a distraction to railroad more anti-tobacco legislation under the radar. Now, despite my inherent distrust of anything and everything Establishment, I'm not one to just throw caution to the...

    RIP Ed Asner

    One of my favorite actors from "the olden days." I especially enjoyed his performance as the antagonist Bart Jason in El Dorado (1967), though this film was conspicuously similar to another John Wayne classic, Rio Bravo (1959). In addition to his acting, I certainly agreed with several of his...

    Finally Took Inventory

    Title says it all. I've been putting this off for some time now, my genetics of which are largely to blame (mom's side of the family wrote the book on procrastination, or at least they would have, had they gotten around to it). Yes, I know it's dinky comparatively...I know some of you guys go...

    SP MacBaren Bulk Sale

    I have my TAD thoroughly under control, but hot damn, this is certainly tempting. Anyone on here making plans to "bulk" up, or have already done so? What do y'all have coming your way?

    CAO Eileen's Dream

    As a newer pipe smoker who has been migrating toward VAs and away from aromatics, I was nonetheless excited to try this one. I have had good experiences with aros on the milder side (Peterson Connoisseur's Choice, Ashton Winding Road, Mac Baren Vanilla Roll Cake etc.), but had quite awful...
