    Jim's 50th Pipe Smoking Anniversary.

    Congratulation Jim! I really enjoyed your reminiscences. I'm almost at the 65-year mark of my pipe smoking history and I, too, remember sharing some tobacco with one of my favorite poli-sci profs at DePaul. I gave him a bowl of my Balkan Sobranie 759 ($1.25 for the 2 oz. tin at the neighborhood...

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2024?***

    I haven't had a bowl in two weeks! I've been involved with my church's annual three-day GreekFest. This was my 60th. year working the bar, and my 40th. as "Chairman of the Bar". In the meantime, I've been trying to catch up on the Forum posts (I still have about 50 pages to go). But I finally...

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***

    I spent some quality time with my Saturday ZOOM buddies as I smoked my Cellini (Victory Pipe Craftsmen) pocket pipe, a pipe I carried to all my undergrad classes at DePaul University and was able to smoke in most classes. I filled it with a tobacco I often smoked back in those days, from a...

    What Foodstuffs Best Define the Place Where You Live?

    jpmcwjr, Yes, both are still around, still serving original deep-dish. I used to eat at Due's often with my wife (she was my girlfriend then). I liked it better than Uno's. But it's a hassle to go downtown, find parking, and put up with less-than-best customer service. Lou Malnati's has been my...

I showed this pipe to Barry Jones at a Chicago Show many years ago. He took it in his hands and said, "Damn...
