    What Are You Listening To - April, 2025

    Been going through some of my older cds and came across this one. Paula toured with Peter Gabriel and finally decided to go on her own in the 1990s. She has a great voice and can write some amazing songs as evidenced by this album. As a bonus, it's very well recorded too, which always makes...

    Show Us Your Oldie But Goodie

    I've had so many pipes that have come and gone that I can't believe I still have this pipe. It's the first pipe I ever bought in 1982. Just a basket pipe stamped Italy on the bottom of the shank. It's been a dependable smoking pipe since I've had it and I've never had any reason to get rid of it.

    Pentax Cameras are Bargains

    I've enjoyed Pentax cameras for many years. These are the three I have left, all screw mount cameras. I never got into the K-mount cameras, as I switched to Nikon in the late 1960s. Still, I couldn't get rid of these wonderful old cameras. From the left, a Spotmatic with a 50mm 1.4 Super...

    Tinderbox Verona Naturale

    I like your Verona pipe! I've had both Mauro Armellini and Verona pipes in the past but never hung on to them for some reason. However, I've had this Mauro Series II made by Armellini for at least 15 years and I really like it. Yes it's a more traditional style than most of their pipes and maybe...

    Clean Up on a BC Simoun

    I've seen these pipes come up a few times over the years, and always thought they were interesting. I know Butz Choquin went out of business back in 2019, but was always curious about this line from them. I don't know what the purpose of the copper inlay is. It's kind of an odd shaped bit of...

    Show Us The One Pipe You Will Never Part With

    I got this Ashton just after my wife passed away because it reminded me of her. Small and pretty.

    What Are You Listening To - April, 2025

    Another golden oldie. Happy Rhodes has a pretty amazing voice spanning 4 octaves. She's the only singer on this album so there has to be some multi-tracking in the recording as she's singing the low parts and the high parts, but man it's interesting music!

    What Are You Listening To - April, 2025

    A favorite of mine for years, but this is one of the more interesting versions of it, especially the last movement. Lots of shouting!

    Stem Hallmark: *M or *W...

    No not McDonalds, it's a Henryk Worobiec pipe made in Poland. The shank should be marked on the bottom. I had one years ago, it was a very nice smoker.

    Re-discovered War Horse Green

    Glad you had a positive experience now. I really have always like War Horse Green.

    Charatan's Make ROSEDALE Estate Tobacco Pipe, WOULD BE MINT BUT-

    Looks like a replacement stem that had a tenon that was a little too big for the shank and maybe that caused the crack. I'd take the stem out clean it all real good then superglue and clamp the crack. After it sets, but while the clamp is still on the shank gently try to fit the stem back in. If...

    Favorite Small Bowl Pipes

    I have quite a few small bowl pipes, but this Ashton Brindle X is my favorite.

    Favorite Virginia Pipe

    I've dedicated this old Charatan pipe to smoking Virginias. No particular reason, I just needed a pipe not used to smoke latakia or aromatic blends, and it does a great job at it.

    Visiting an old friend with this album. What a great storyteller!

    How Do You Celebrate St. Patrick's Day?

    By locking myself in my house with a bottle of good whisky.

    What Are You Listening To - March, 2025

    I've been trying to listen to some pop singers music, and chose females because I like the female singing voice best. Last I tried Taylor Swift's Evermore which was better than I thought it would be, but wow does she write a lot of songs. Then I saw a review of this album by Billie Eilish by a...

    Who Made my Irwin Ries?

    Looks to me like it was made maybe by Stanwell. Nice shape!

    Ruminations on Another Forty Dollar Pipe

    Yes, definitely worthy of a Ted Talk!
