    A Nice Evening, and Then Some...

    Well, my wife's cousin and her husband came up tonight and we built a fire in our fire pit and had a few cocktails. It has been such great weather, and we spent a lot of time on the porch. I smoked my old Ropp cherrywood with some Black Frigate with a little Royal Challenge mixed in, and I had...

    A GBD for Christmas, a Special Pipe Indeed

    What with my birthday and Christmas in the same month, I tend to suffer from a more serious case of PAD. This year was no different, as I ended up getting four pipes altogether. Nothing expensive, but all quite nice. I already posted on my birthday pipes yesterday, but today here's the first of...

    Got a Couple of Pipes for My Birthday Two Weeks Ago, Now Ready to Smoke - Pics

    Actually I got one estate pipe for my birthday on the 5th, and after I got it cleaned up I liked it so much and it smoked so good, I bought another estate from the same maker. Marty Pulvers is the guy that made it happen for me. He is so much fun and honest to deal with, and will work hard to...

    Mystery Pipe Made of Mystery Wood - Pics

    This is one of the pipes that my wife brought back from California about a week ago. I was going to show them all at once when I restored them, but this is such an oddball pipe I thought I'd post it separately. It had been smoked rather heavily, and the only thing stamped on it is Vest Pokit...

    2016 Strikes Again! John Glenn...RIP

    As a young man I remember watching John Glenn going into space and wondering what it would be like. Mostly scary I decided. One of the true space pioneers as well as a bomber pilot and senator. Had a full 95 years I'd say. :clap:

    My Wife's Back From CA and Added to My USA Pipe Collection

    Well after fending for myself and the dog for two weeks, my wife is back today and bought me a few pipes to play with. No high end pipes, but I think she still did good. ($60 for five pipes) She found a Ropp Cherrywood, Dr. Grabow Starfire, Kaywoodie Super Grain, a Yello-Bole, and an odd little...

    Finally Found a Churchwarden That I Like!

    Some 30 years ago I had two churchwardens that I bought because I liked their looks. However, I seldom smoked them as they always felt awkward to smoke, so I eventually sold them. A couple of months ago my wife and I were talking about churchwardens for whatever reason, and she said she was...

    R.I.P - Florence Henderson, Great TV mom

    Sad to see the passing of Florence Henderson. She seemed to be immortal as America's favorite TV mom. Had a great sense of humor off screen too. I'll miss her wonderful smile. :cry:

    Anyone Catch "Mars" on NatGeo Last Night?

    I'm not a science fiction nut, but I do enjoy some of it. Particularly stuff that could possibly take place in the near future. This show was interesting in that it was part future fiction, and part documentary. The fictional part takes place in 2033 with the launch of the first manned mission...

    Dr. Plumb Version of GBD International? PICs

    Found this on eBay, and in spite of telling myself I wouldn't buy more pipes, it was too interesting and cheap for me to resist. It's a Dr. Plumb which is as far as I know a GBD sub-brand or second. I had one a while back but it had a weird stinger I couldn't get rid of and it also had a red dot...

    So What Are You Not Smoking!

    Just to be contrary, what tobaccos are you not smoking. You know, the stuff that you tried and have no intention of ever smoking again. For me, Captain Bob's Blend, and, well that's about it.... uh, maybe Crooner too.

    Fun With Cherries Tonight

    I'm not a huge fan of cherry blends, but once in a while I like the taste of some if it's not too strong with a heavy cherry flavor. I like to mix blends together to see what happens sometimes, and tonight I found probably my favorite cherry combo so far. Also just to keep the theme going I...

    My Wife's Birthday Celebration

    Yeah, today my wife turned lucky double 7s and so I grilled her a nice steak, made her a couple of Martinis (her idea) and got out her old Peterson from about the same year as her birthday, a pre-republic. She smoked some Whiskey Biscuit Gravy (again her choice) and we had a great old time right...

    Very Nice Pickwick Pipe, But What Is It? PICS

    Every time I decide not to buy more pipes, I see something that is priced right, and intrigues me. I guess that's what PAD is all about. It would probably help if I quit looking at pipes! When I saw this short apple? tomato? with the silver band and the nice grain, I had to buy it. It didn't...

    Found a Drink That Tastes Like Tobacco (Well Almost)

    I know this will probably bring a little ridicule my way, but I found a juice that tastes somewhat like tobacco, and by that I mean more like tobacco smells. I have been mixing a little prune juice in my diet cokes for years as it adds a nice flavor kinda like Dr. Pepper, only richer tasting. I...

    War Horse Bar and War Horse Green?

    I know there was talk here a few weeks ago about these blends, but is there any more info on them and when they might be released? Hopefully they haven't been axed, are still going to become available.

    Finally, a Pipe That Really Will Kill You! Alert the FDA! PICS!

    Found this listed online and did a double take. This pipe is made with clay and asbestos! (Best Quality asbestos though). I have never, ever heard of such a thing, but then, years ago folks didn't know about the dangers of asbestos. Seller dates the pipe to the 1910s, but I'll bet someone here...

    Unusual TinderBox Pipe, Thoughts? pics

    Most of us don't usually get excited about pipes stamped Tinder Box, but I've seen some nice ones over the years, just never pulled the trigger on one. I saw this on eBay and was attracted to it's style (dublin poker?), and the fact that it was meerschaum lined. I haven't read much good about...

    No Name Danish, Ben Wade-Preben Holm? Pics

    I've been looking for a smaller freehand pipe for a while, as I don't have any. Mainly this is because they don't appeal to me all that much, are quite expensive for my budget, and are usually a larger pipe than I like. But, what with being afflicted with PAD I kept looking for one anyway. I saw...

    What's Your Favorite Tamper? Not The Prettiest, But The One Most Used, 8deco?

    I have always just used the standard aluminum pipe nail. I have had others, but gave them away as I never found them to be as convenient as the old nail. I have a Czech tamper on the porch, and I use it sometimes, but I'm always fiddling with the tools to get the right one I need. However it's...
