What are You Listening To? - August 2024
kcghost, Dan, I saw them live a few times in Chicago, great! In the 90s, they were part of a group that did a concert for Bob Gibson, of which Hamilton (Bob) Camp was a part. I got to speak to them all after the concert. All very nice people.- dino

What is Your Lighter of Choice?
I use the XIKAR Resource II most of the time. I own many lighters including Zippos with pipe inserts, but I rely heavily on the XIKAR.- dino

***What Are You Smoking, August 2024?***
Thanks! Yes, it's dark red, with a bone screw-in stem. A really nice pipe for a Frank. It's always been kept in its original Frank pipe case. It was broken at the bowl/tenon line, but my father had it expertly repaired. I think he bought it in the late 1940s-early 1950s. I've been smoking it...- dino

***What Are You Smoking, August 2024?***
I just finished another wonderful ZOOM meeting with my pipe buds. Fun conversation and camaraderie. I smoked my father's old Frank pipe, a bulldog with gold tone designs of playing card symbols, filled with Samovar. This is a great old smoker. Peach/Mango Green Tea with a fistful of bergs and a...- dino

My wife and I attended our church's annual Golf Outing (we don't golf but love the Greek BBQ dinner served in the late afternoon). It was a beautiful balmy afternoon and evening. After dinner I enjoyed a bowl of Kramer's Blend for Cary Grant in my Peterson Arklow 80S. A couple of G&Ts...- dino

There were just a few of us on the Saturday ZOOM meeting, but the conversation was Olympic. I smoked my old Big-Ben Commodore 426 filled with some vintage Country Squire Rivendell. A tall tumbler of Peach/Mango Green Tea with a splash of Honey Jack and a fistful of bergs was my beverage.- dino

Here is an excerpt that will help answer your...- dino

***What Are You Smoking, August 2024?***
During our Saturday ZOOM meeting the usual tobacco and pipe talk ensued. But a wonderfully nostalgic discussion of the cars we owned and drove, back in the day, was a fun sidebar. I smoked some 6-year-old Lancer's Slices in my Peterson Sherlock Holmes Strand - a gift from my wife, purchased at...- dino

Post Covid Tasting Change
I've had long Covid tongue for over a year. It affects the taste buds at the tip of my tongue, but I can pretty much taste everything, with a bit less intensity. It's just annoying, not critical. I can still enjoy a bowl, all the aroma and most of the taste.- dino
