    Sobranie, Saseini, White Knight, and me

    I smoked Balkan Sobranie Original back in the early 1970s, when I was going to Michigan State, and buying tobacco from Campbell's Smoke Shop in East Lansing. (It's still there.) I couldn't tell you how much of it I smoked, but I liked it a lot. When I moved to Detroit, I spent a few years...

    Memorial or Decoration Day

    I want to take a moment, this "Decoration Day", as my dad always called it. to give a small "thank you" to those men and women who gave all in the service of their country. That's who this day is about, friends; not the veterans, nor the active service folks. This day is about The Fallen - those...

    Metro Detroit February road trip

    Boy, am I glad we got to Flint when we did! For February, let's stick closer to home. Let's stop by Hill & Hill 19439 Mack, Grosse Pointe Woods, which has been my B&M for close to 40 years. Jim's old school. Not lots of tins, but a good collection of bulks that he gets, not relabeled Lane's. He...

    At Rolldog's request, I'm calling for a road trip to Paul's on the 17th. I suggest we meet there about 2. It might be fun to get some guys to ride with; I'm going to flag Sparrowhawk, since he's close by. I'm also going to set...

    Today I popped a nice new tin of Rattray's Hal o' th' Wynd.Included was a nice little booklet describing each of the Rattray blends, in English and German. With all the claims lately, based on website descriptions, that HotW and Old Gowrie were Va/Pers (much to the surprise of long time fans of...

    Two Purchases

    Went shopping last week. Didn't want to inflict too many pics on you guys. :D I got this Tim West from Smoker's Haven - it's an estate, and a pretty nice one, although not unsmoked. This is a Mark Tinsky billiard. I had thought about ordering a billiard from him, in dress coral, but this...

    Just Pulled the Trigger on a Cayuga Apple

    I was planning on buying a new pipe. Had my eye on a Neerup bent apple at Iwan Ries, but was also thinking about a Cayuga pot I saw at Paul's Pipe Shop. With all the talk about Paul's recently, I went to the web site today and saw they had a sale on - 15% off. Well, that was it - I ended up...

    Great Gift in the Mail today

    Today the mail brought a nice envelope from rmbittner - a bag of Pease Raven's Wing from 2004, and an unopened tin of Old Dublin from 2007. I am working very hard on holding off on the RW for a couple of days, until I have a nice time to enjoy it with a good pipe. Thanks, Bob!
