In Praise of the Poker
The Peterson Hopkins, which I have, is 1 of the few cherry woods I've seen which I like. My only poker is also a Peterson, which they call a tankard. It's a spigot done in 2019 for a Facebook group. -
June 5th, D Day.81 Yrs ago
My great uncle was in the south Pacific during WWII but also had a purple heart, bronze and silver stars and a Legion of Merit.

Murphy's?
Sounds like I'd like Murphy's better. Am not much of a beer drinker but find Guinness too bitter for me. Do like darker ales somewhat. Years ago Sam Adams made one which was rather good, "Scotch Ale,"- irishearl

The One Peterson Pipe I Wouldn't Recommend Buying.
Lestrade's the only SH pipe I have which I'd call a bad smoker. -
The One Peterson Pipe I Wouldn't Recommend Buying.
I have 10 Peterson Sherlock Holmes pipes and many other Petes which I love. But have recently decided to give up on smoking my LeStrade only because it clogs soon as I look at it and not worth the hassle. Rather like its shape but something about its design doesn't work well for ease of smoking. -

Any Bicyclists Out There?
Always had terrible balance which has worsened with age. 2 of my 3 orthopedic surgeries were due to bike accidents-broken collar bone from a tumble and later jammed shoulder from colliding with a van. Worst pain I've ever had. So, haven't touched my bike in about 5 years.- irishearl
