    Today's PAD, My First Butz-Choquin!!!

    I've been wanting a BC for quite some time and have actually had my eye on this one for a couple of years, yes years! It and two others in this series have been sitting on the shelf at my local B&M for a long time now. Well, I finally pulled the trigger! Here it is, Butz-Choquin "1789" Cadre...

    Where To Get A Steak Properly Cooked

    In recent years I've nearly stopped ordering steak when I go out because NOBODY can cook one right! In my town, there's a steakhouse on every block it seems, and I've been to most all of them. None, however, have any idea how to cook a steak! Now, I like my steak thick and prepared med-med rare...

    Peterson University Flake; Revisited

    As some of you may already know, I'm not big on flake tobacco. That being said, I was pleasantly surprised today. A few months back I bought a tin of UF to try and I was not impressed. I didn't get the plum top note everybody talks about, and found it to be bland and harsh. Now that it's been...

    Pabst Blue Ribbon On Tap, Mmmmm!

    So during my vacation this last week, me and a buddy of mine went down to the local CBC/ Burns Tobacconist to shoot pool, eat lunch, smoke pipes and cigars, and have a few beers. Now, their beer is normally $3-4 on tap, but the bartender told us they had a special going on with PBR for $1 on...

    Show Me Your Man Caves!

    Here's a few pics of mine. It's still a work in progress, but it's nearly done. My gun safe is down stairs, due to lack of space and the fact that it's to damn heavy to move upstairs! Here's the comfortable side!

    My Homemade Utilitarian 40 Pipe Rack

    Before y'all start laughing at me, let me just say, I'm no woodworker! I'm a metalworker! Me and wood don't get along very well. Anyway, I needed a new pipe rack because I was out of room in my others. I couldn't afford to drop a couple hundred on a custom built one, so I decided to build my...

    A Couple Of Pipes From The Chattanooga Show, All Cleaned Up!

    Here's the first one, a Royal British "207". It had some rim charring and was just a little dirty in general, it cleaned up pretty well.

    Today's PAD, My First Stanwell!!!

    This is my first Stanwell, a Zebrano "40", kind of a short shanked Lumberman. I love the oval shank! I also got a Senior reamer, I've been needing one of these for a while now!

    Swapping Over Some Petersons!

    Ok, so far out of my 12 Petersons, only 2 are dedicated English/Balkan pipes, my new St. Patrick's Day "606" and my new Barrel. Since I've been delving further and further into those tobaccos, and since I have 6 Peterson "03's", I've decided to swap three of them over. Until now they were all...

    Petes03's Post # 1000!

    Since it seems to be the way of things, I thought I'd post some picks of my humble collection for my 1000th post. Here's everything so far, though I'm constantly adding, wether it be PAD or TAD related.

    Half Time, Thank Goodness!

    Well, it's half-time in the Tennessee / Oregon game, and my Vols are getting the crap kicked out of them! They got off to a good start, but the defense is starting to fall apart! I had to come outside and smoke me a bowl before the second half to relieve some stress! I can only hope coach Jones...

    My Anniversary Gift!

    Look what my wife got for me, a Peterson St. Patrick's Day "606" and some more McClelland Blue Mountain! She picked them out herself, she wanted me to, but I said no. I told her to pick something she liked, and I told her several tobaccos that I liked, and this is what she got me! I'm in pipe...

    Oh, I Do Believe I Scored Big Today!

    Man am I excited! While digging around at the local antique store today, I found some gems! A Caminetto "Business" and a Jobey "Stromboli", and only $45 for the pair! Both are lightly smoked and in good shape! The Jobey is a "355" and the Caminetto, as best as I can tell, is a "107KS". Really...

    Favorite College/NFL Teams?

    I know I know, can o' worms officially opened! Lets all be civil though! Me and the wife just finished watching her team win, and I was wondering what some of y'all's favorite teams were. Min are; NFL = Green Bay ( even though my favorite QB of all time is Peyton Manning). College team=...

    Restorations!

    I've posted over the last few months about some of my resto jobs and had been told to post pics. Well up until today, I couldn't figure out how to do that from my iPhone or my laptop. I decided to use my wifes computer and I finally figured it out, sort of! Well, here they are! From top to...

    H&H Mt. Marcy?

    Has anyone had Mt. Marcy? I've been looking at the H&H blends, but haven't tried any yet. I've noticed they seem to go for similarity between other makers blends such as, "Daybreak" = Dunhill "Early Morning Pipe", which leads me to think that maybe "Mt. Marcy" = McClelland "Blue Mountain". Am I...

    C&D Kajun Kake, Anybody Had It?

    I got a tin of it a few days ago and have yet to smoke any. I was planning on smoking some this weekend and was wondering what to expect. I did pop the tin, I found the tin note to be a little off-putting for some reason. I swear I smelled fish! I've really wanted to try this one, I'd like to...
