    Einstein was Right About Time

    So it doesn’t matter the size of the pipe or the blend of tobacco. When I get to the bottom of the bowl, I always think, “That was so fast, how is this bowl finished so soon?” Then glance at My watch and think, “Where did the time go? How could I be in the zone for so long?” The only possible...

    Suddenly Lost my Taste for Pipe Tobacco

    What "The Wife" Thinks

    To Clay or not to Clay....

    I like my clays very much. I use nail polish (lacquer) on the end to prevent sticky lips. Yes, the bowl can get warm (or hot) but it's not really a problem. A few have had unfortunate encounters with hard surfaces. They’re good smokers and easy to clean, so what’s not to like?
