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

    While meeting with my Saturday afternoon ZOOM buddies, I smoked Samovar in my Rich Lewis rusticated calabash #731. My beverage was my usual Peach/Mango Green Tea with a splash of Honey Jack Daniel's. Great conversation and camaraderie. For those who observe, Happy Easter!

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

    I spent a pleasant afternoon with my ZOOM buddies in fun conversation and camaraderie, while I smoked some 10-year-old PS Luxury Navy Flake in my Peterson Antique Collection 1910 bulldog hallmarked 1999, purchased at the Grafton shop during our 2002 trip to Ireland (my wife bought it for me as a...

    Chicago 2024: Who's going?

    Well, I'm a short, more than a little chubby old guy, with white hair and a beard. But you all know what I look like, so say "Hi" and introduce yourself. I'll be one of the people checking you in at the show registration table.

    What Are You Listening To - March, 2024

    Today is Modest Mussorgsky's birthday (1893). Here is an amazing scene from Act 4 of Boris Godunov (the prayer and death of Boris), in a 1956 Producer's Showcase television performance, with my father's life-long friend, basso Nicola Moscona as the monk Pimen and Boris Christoff as Godunov.

    Unfortunately, that is correct. Sorry, both he and I were looking forward to it, but Al is unavailable on Friday and we couldn't work it out for Saturday. Next year.

    What are You Reading Now?

    I just started reading this wonderfully comprehensive examination of Sherlock Holmes that starts with Conan Doyle's idea and goes through all the various incarnations in media up to his recent appearance as Sherlock. Everyone who enjoys the books, radio, movie, TV, and other versions of the...

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

    This past afternoon was another bizarrely warm and sunny one, with temperatures in the 60s, prompting me to grab my pipe, tobacco, crossword and pup and go out to the backyard. I filled my Chamersburg Morta pipe with Wilke No. 524 with Syrian Latakia. I puffed contentedly, solve my puzzle, while...

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

    I spent a rather short time with my Saturday afternoon ZOOM buddies, as I had another commitment later in the evening. During the meeting, I smoked some Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a Rosewood pipe that I got at Cellini's pipe shop in the mid 70s. It's a pretty good smoker. (Check out the...

    What Tobacco did your Ancestors Smoke?

    My father chain-smoked Greek cigarettes most of his life. When he came to America, in the late 30s, he smoked Papastratos Assos (when available) or Parliament cigarettes, and smoked Cookie Jar tobacco when smoking his pipes.

    What Music are You Listening To? August, '23

    Searock Fan, while I agree about Pat Williams and his music, we are now in March, 2024 on this thread, not August, 2023. I think you should repost this on the March thread. Dino

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

    The warmest February 27th. in history today in Chicago, 76 frickin' degrees! WTF! I stuffed my Peterson Sherlock Holmes Original (1987) with Orlik Golden Sliced, brewed a mug of Upton Tea Baker Street Blend, grabbed the new issue of American Record Guide and went out to the patio to smoke, sip...

    How Long Have You Smoked a Pipe?

    My father gave me one of his basket pipes and a pouch of Cookie Jar tobacco, on my 14th. birthday, in hopes of dissuading me from smoking cigarettes (I didn't have the heart to tell him I'd been swiping his and my mother's cigarettes for about two years). This was in 1960. Despite scorching my...
