    What are You Reading Now?

    I'm reading the biography of actor Dwight Frye, best known as Renfield in the 1931 Dracula. It is an in-depth account of a truly talented and versatile actor who gets type-cast as a "creep" in his Hollywood career. Wonderfully written and profusely illustrated with photos, both professional and...

    “The Pipe”

    I have two, one I bought at Iwan Ries in the 70s and one I got from Bill Taylor at a Chicago show. The one from Ries is just like the one in your picture. The other is a bent billiard. Like many, I use them as "tasters." They're way more sturdy than a clay, and cleaner than a cob. The graphite...

    ***What Are You Smoking, November 2023?***

    Spent some quality time with my Saturday ZOOM buddies as I smoked some 1989 McClelland No. 24 in my old Barling's 409 smooth pot with a saddle stem. I had my usual beverage, Peach/Mango Green Tea in a tall tumbler with bergs and a splash of Honey Jack. A lovely way to spend the afternoon.

    What Music Are You Listening to? November, 2023

    I've posted this before, a few years ago, but with all this recent talk of Johnny Hartman here, I wanted to share this again. It is Johnny performing one of my favorite songs, live on Sammy Davis Jr.'s TV show in 1966. We also get a glimpse of the multi-talented host on vibes. Hank Jones is on...

    You are quite welcome my friend! I drink quite a few glasses each day, and there is a two-quart bottle in the fridge at all times. Drink it in good health!

    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2023?***

    I just spent a few fun hours with my Saturday ZOOM crew of pipe buddies. In anticipation of Halloween, I smoked my 2012 Peterson smooth Dracula 999 filled with my "Dino's Mixture" (Full Virginia Flake, University Flake, Syrian Latakia, and a soupçon of Samovar and 55-year-old Mahalla). A tumbler...

    Rubber pipe bits

    I use them to keep my stems toothmark free. I put one on just before I smoke and remove it immediately after. I wipe and clean the stem every time I smoke. Yes, my Upshalls are particularly prone to yellow after using the rubber bits.
