Next isn't a musician but the Indian spiritual master Meher Baba, 1894, who was a mentor and inspiration to Pete Townshend. Here's Pete's piece that honors him (and the American composer Terry Riley):- dino

***What Are You Smoking, February 2025?***
Didn't get a chance to post this yesterday, after another animated meeting with my ZOOM buddies. I smoked my Colm Magner rusticated billiard, with a quarter-bent saddle bit, filled with Nightcap. A large tumbler of Peach/Mango Green Tea, with a splash of Honey Jack Daniel's and a fistful of...- dino

Broken Pipe --- Chuck Gray
Dr. Chuck was a friend and fellow Chicago Pipe Club member for many years. Some of the pipes in my collection were saved due to his talent for expert restoration. May his memory be eternal. -
***What Are You Smoking, February 2025?***
I had a late evening smoke for ISPD, a bowl of Samovar in my 1964 Dunhill 83 F/T Tanshell Zulu. A small glass of Jack Daniel's Single Barrell Barrell Proof (135°) was my tipple.- dino

Loving the Peterson Shape Releases--Which Shapes Do You Want to Return?
Like Jim Amash (Jiminks), I would like Peterson to bring back the XL155 Bulldog (which Nigel Bruce smoked in two Sherlock Holmes movies). -
Desert Island Blend List
McClelland's Samovar. As a back-up, McClelland's Drama. And, in my dreams, 1960s Balkan Sobranie 759.- dino

***What Are You Smoking, February 2025?***
While visiting with my Saturday afternoon ZOOM buddies, I smoked some vintage Nat Sherman 536 English Empire in the first "expensive" new pipe I bought ($35) in the 60s, a Charatan 8DC sandblasted bulldog. Fun conversations, great smoke. A mug of Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey Coffee was my...- dino

***What Are You Smoking, February 2025?***
I popped a tin of 15-year-old University Flake to smoke in my Peterson Donegal Rocky B7 during the Saturday afternoon ZOOM meeting with my pipe buddies. I've never smoked it on its own, as I usually mix it with Full Virginia Flake, Syrian Latakia and other components for my "Dino's Mixture"...- dino

***What Are You Smoking, January 2025?***
As I was late and only planned to visit for a short time, I chose my Markus Fohr small clay billiard filled with 2017 Christmas Cheer to smoke with my Saturday ZOOM meeting buddies. Although it was a smaller group this week, it was still a fun and enlightening meet-up. A large cup of Upton's...- dino

***What Are You Smoking, January 2025?***
I attended our Chicago Pipe Collectors Club meeting this Saturday afternoon and evening. It was a great turnout of the "usual suspects" men and women club members. There was much talk about the plans for the coming show. I smoked my large 1997 Steve Weiner bent tomato filled with "Dino's...- dino

***What Are You Smoking, January 2025?***
I participated in two ZOOMs on Saturday. The first was the usual group of pipe buddies, and the second was a meeting of The Criterion Bar Association, a Chicago based Sherlockian Scion society. To tie-in the two, during the pipe group meeting I smoked my Peterson 2021 Pipe Of The Year 4AB...- dino

***What Are You Smoking, January 2025?***
During our weekly Saturday afternoon ZOOM meeting, that took a bizarre turn in which we spent more than half an hour discussing spiders and snakes, I smoked a bowlful of Samovar in the Peterson 2002 Pipe of the Year that my wife bought for me at the Grafton Shop, during our trip to Ireland in...- dino

My copy of Ben Rapaport's new limited edition of The Wide World Of Wood Tobacco Pipes arrived Monday, and I've been blown away by the incredible photographs and erudite commentary. I hope Ben prints another run of this fabulous book and brings them to the Chicago Show.- dino

***What Are You Smoking, January 2025?***
I rang in the New Year with a crowd of old friends and family at my neighbor's house. He shared his stash of hand-rolled Cuban leaf cigars from Switzerland, beautifully made and of incredible taste and aroma (I smoked it 'til it burned my fingers and singed my moustache). I drank a Glencairn or...- dino
