    How to Get a Stain Out of a Meer?

    I once had a pink stain on the side of my meer from when I left it lying on a red folder. Some delicate rubbing with 1500 grit sandpaper cleared it away no problem, and the only stain on it now is from where I rubbed the thick goo off the end of a pipe cleaner on it the other day to try and...

    Recommendations Needed On English-Aro Crossovers

    To my palate, Three Star Blue is roughly equivalent to Revelation Match (both made by Sutliff), but with some amaretto flavoring. Probably could be described as an Aromatic American English.

    How do You Brew Tea?

    Bags (Russian Caravan or Oolong), or brew a little pot of it (whatever looseleaf I have, usually green or Assam). No cream, very rarely sugar (only with the Assam). Nearly a decade ago I picked up a bag of Russian stuff that was sitting on the "Free for any takers foreign stuff" table in the...

    What are You Listening To? September '24

    There are two or three bands that I've listened to quite a bit online, and I finally decided to pull the trigger on one to get free shipping on some longjohn pajamas.

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

    A rare day of me smoking two times (multiple bowls each time) because I had the day off and the weather was nice. ~4 bowls of Edward G Robinson in ol' reliable meer earlier, and now a bouchon in the figurehead. We'll call this the equivalent of 2 or 3 bowls, and raise the bowl count on her up...

    Topping Experiment Not A Disaster

    Not quite the same, but I once set some C&D Byzantium in a tupperware with a shot glass of creme de menthe for a couple weeks. The tobacco absorbed the aroma, and I had some untainted creme de menthe to drink afterward - so if you have time, might be able to preserve all your rum for drinking...

    Pipe Windchimes

    Might could get something decent-sounding if you went for a Japanese style windchime. Like, a little glass bell with a cob suspended in it or something. Or maybe some Falcons, stick meerschaum bowls on 'em and see if the meer survives a windy day, might get some interesting coloration from them...

    What are You Reading Now?

    Took a brief break from Japanese murder mystery the other day to reread the Beatrix Potter stories. ...I'm gonna put some lavender in this year's homegrown baccy. Just a smidgen, maybe 1%. If it's good enough for those stylish rabbits, it's good enough for me.

    Anyone Play Video Games?

    Haven't tried it myself, but I do watch Internet Historian's video on it every couple months. If nothing else, gotta respect the developers for their commitment to taking what was a broken disappointment on release and trying to fix it. Respect for the consumer and honor, right there. As for...

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

    Exclusive? Finished. As of right now, Gray Ghost, finished. Gray Ghost in meerschaum billiard, to be followed either by Dreams of Kadath, or this Fiat Lux cigar which I bought because it was rather cheap and gathering dust in a corner of the store and I'm apparently a huge softie like that.

    Pipe Clubs in Maryland, especially Howard County?

    I've never attended myself, so don't know how well-populated the event is, but the Davidus Cigars in Eldersburg has "Pipe Night" on Tuesdays.

    What are You Reading Now?

    Still reading through Umineko. Book Five, "End of the Golden Witch". The murderous Golden Witch having finally conceded in a battle of wits against the stupidly-named protagonist, one would think that would be the end of the story. One would think wrong - Before falling catatonic, Beatrice...

    I Invented a New Style of Pipe...

    Grug think in order be worthy "cavewarden" name, pipe need sturdy enough to hit enemy tribe on head, not break. Protect cave, long stem give more reach than normal pipe.

    Gen. Ripper Got It Close.

    As a non-British who initially consumed Marmite late into his second decade, my advice to you: put a very small amount onto buttered toast, and have some sharp cheddar with it. Oh, right, fluoride. As the hip young memesters of the internet would say, "Laughs in well water" (though the...

    How do you Hold your Pipe?

    PipesAndCigars.Com: Are They Trustworthy?

    Over all my orders (only three or four) haven't had any bad experiences, but they do seem to have a reputation for incompetence so I've stopped rolling the dice, personally.

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

    Exclusive, Old Reliable (really need to give this pipe a "proper name" at some point) Having finished my current tin of War Horse (I've got more!), it's mostly Exclusive, Gray Ghost, and Three Star Blue for the near future.

    Let's Grow some Tobacco this Year!

    Cramped my Samsun together the "proper" way and I guess my soil and climate are just too amazing for them cuz some of them are taller than I am. ...just gonnaa be super lazy this year, let all the leaves sit on the plant for a few more weeks that rip 'em out of the ground and make a pile of...

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

    Ol' Reliable, containing Exclusive (which is my current "project's, on my mission to finish some tins before I buy more of anything that isn't War Horse).
