    Eye Floaters

    I have them from time to time but nothing troublesome. ‘Film of cobwebs and dark spots’ doesn’t seem right. Guess I shouldn’t say it does seem right, rather it hasn’t been my experience.

    Relaxing With the Hounds

    New picture of Johnnie the Sleeper Hound doing his second favorite thing. His favorite thing is unconditionally loving this old man. He’s very good at both.

    Solitary or Social Smoker?

    I almost always smoke alone unless you count Johnnie, my ever present K9, in which case I’m almost never alone. I rarely have a people present scenario present itself. The rare occasion that it does it usually distracts from full enjoyment of my pipe.

    Your Favorite Classic Blends (Virginia, Burly, English, etc) and Why?

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

    My Siena 673 was delivered today. Baptized it with Billy Budd and a little added chopped cigar leaf to tweak up the cigar vibe a scootch.

    Collecting Ethos

    I’m definitely in the assortment camp. I buy based on what I like, what appeals to me. I see collecting more along the lines of selecting pipes that have certain aspects that make them unique, rare, valuable, etc. It would make a great pursuit and I may one day take it up. I can definitely find...

    T The only thing protecting my wallet is that most of my favorite C&D blends are available in bulk which is still cheaper than the tin sale.
