    Had A Good Time Tonight!

    I had a couple of my cousins, Zach and Chris, over tonight to hang out. We hung out in the man cave upstairs for a while, just talking and playing guitars. While we were up there, they were studying my pipes and tobacco collection. One of them (Chris) started opening jars and smelling them. He...

    Night Shift Sucks!

    I've been with the same company now for about 7 1/2 years. Out of those, my first year and a half were on day shift, then I spent 5 years on nights. I've spent the last year back on days, but a couple of weeks ago, through no choice of my own, I had to go back to nights. It looks like I'll be on...

    Craft Beer

    Before anyone gets their undergarments in a wad, let me start by saying that I acknowledge the fact that what you can buy at the gas station is NOT real craft beer. That being said, damn it, I like the stuff! My current favorites are; Blue Moon Original, Shock Top Original, Sweet Water Blue...

    Favorite Factory Pipes?

    I figured it was about time to bring this one up again, you know, just for $#!+s and giggles. So here it goes, what's your top 3 favorite brands of factory pipes in the price range of $50-200? I think that should provide plenty of room for a lot of different brands. For me; 1) Peterson. I...

    Post # 1984, Gatlinburg TAD!

    Well, I'm coming up on my 2000th post and I didn't really know what to do for it, so I figured id post my little haul from Gatlinburg. I also figured I'd do it for my post #1984 since that's my birth year. Yeah, I know, I'm still a youngn'! Anyway, here it is; 2oz. GB "Smokies Smoke-Eaze" a...

    Tips For Smoking Coin Tobacco?

    For several years now, I've been wanting to try some coin tobacco, so I bought some today. I found a tin of Mac Baren "Roll Cake" at the Gatlin-Burlier today that had been on the shelf for several years. I've smoked flakes using the "Z" pattern fold and stuff, roll and stuff, rubbed out, cube...

    Gatlinburg Area B&M's?

    Me and the wife are thinking about heading to Gatlinburg for the weekend and I was wandering if anybody knows of any new B&Ms. We go every year, and we usually have somewhat of a routine while we're there. I always go to the Gatlin-Burlier, a well known and fairly old B&M, and Smokey's, a...

    1st PAD Of November, Savinelli!

    I picked this one up at my local B&M today. It's a Savinelli "122" Extra, it's also NOS. Melvin(the owner) said it's been on the shelf for several years! It was a steal, IMO, at $64!

    Aldo Velani Pipes? Any Info?

    First off let me say, sorry I don't have any pics as of yet. I just put an older Aldo Velani "Suprema" on layaway at my local B&M. I've never heard of them, but it looks to be well made with no fills, and good drilling. Have any of you guys had any experience with these pipes, or any info on...

    H&H 10 To Midnight, Opinions

    I just got a 2oz. sample of "10 To Midnight" in today, and I'm nearly done with my first bowl of it. All I can say is wow! This is the first cake/flake/plug or anything besides ribbon or shag cut tobacco that I can truly say I really enjoy! It's a cake, but not like a C&D cake (which looks like...

    Beer Bread, MMM...Good!

    Let me start by saying that I do a fair amount of cooking, but very little baking, so bread is a stretch for me! A few weeks ago, we were up in Blue Ridge Ga., at a place called Mercier's Apple Farm, a place we usually go to about once a year. It's a pretty big place, with lots of fruits (apples...

    Cellaring Tubs? Carter Hall, Sugar Barrel Ect.

    I'm thinking of cellaring some mor "codger" blends. I love Carter Hall, and have recently developed a love affair with Sugar Barrel. My question is, how long will these blends cellar in the tubs they come in with the plastic still on? I would think that they are not exactly ideal for cellaring...

    Help Needed; Dating A Caminetto

    First off, let me apologize for the quality of the pics, my phone is my only camera. As some of you know, I got this Caminetto as a lightly used estate some time ago, and only had to do a pretty basic clean up on it. It's one of the higher quality pipes in my collection, and I'd like to know...

    Good Lord, It's Cold!

    Two weeks ago, it was in the mid 60's to low 70's at night here in SE Tennessee, which was about perfect! Last night the temp dropped down to 34F, and tonight it's in the 40's! Since I'm primarily an outdoor smoker, it kinda sucks! Even though Fall is my favorite time of year, it does make...

    McClelland Opinions Needed!

    My local B&M has a few old tins of McClelland Navy Cavendish and Black Woods Flake, and I've considered buying them. I've never had either of these. I'm a big McC fan, but not a big Va fan. I do like a couple of McC Va's, Deep Hollow and 221b Black Shag. Peterson University Flake is decent IMO...

    Super Bowl Predictions!

    Who's gonna make it? Don't get me wrong, I'm a Packers fan through and through, but I think my boy Peyton is goin' all the way this year! I don't know who else is, but I bet the Broncos will! Can O' Worms officially opened!

    H&H Black House vs. McC Blue Mountain

    For those of you that have had both of these, do you notice a difference? I know I do! Both of these blends were created to emulate a certain blend of old, whose name escapes me. I know that it would be damn near impossible for two different blenders, at two different companies, to come up with...
