Medical Doctors who Smoke a Pipe?
Life is a risk. If you listen to the so called experts we shouldn't eat red meat. Processed meat will kill you, so put down that hot dog. Alcohol is dangerous. Driving kills people every day. Do you really know what is in the water you drink? Did you ever think of how fear dictates our everyday...- WVOldFart

There Was Once a Time I Loved Long Smokes
I almost died two years from an auto immune disease from Long Covid. Even though I have smoked a pipe since 1980 I did not smoke as much as I wanted due to work etc. Now that I am retired and almost died I realized that if I don't do the things I want to do now, when do I really expect to do...- WVOldFart

Palate Refinement
Cosmicfolklore had excellent advice. I have done this, especially when blends start tasting the same. If you smoke them back to back or at the same time you can notice the differences. If I want to really know the blend, I smoke nothing but that same blend for a few weeks. After that period of...- WVOldFart

Past, Present, or Future?
You came into this world with nothing and you will leave this world with nothing, so don't worry about the small stuff because it is all small stuff. Be content with what life has given you and enjoy the ones you hold dear.- WVOldFart

The Decline of Prince Albert and Carter Hall
My taste buds tell me that there is nothing better than Prince Albert and a good cup of coffee. So when the original went away I started smoking Match V.I.P. or Match Edgeworth Ready Rubbed with my coffee. Since these are blends that I smoke regularly, I enjoyed them with my coffee. Recently I...- WVOldFart

Keeping an Open Mind
I appreciate Sutliff because they would not let the old tobacco blends die. These Codger blends are what has made tobacco smoking possible today. Their Match blends are well done and even though I was not able to smoke some of the original blends, I like to think that the Match blends are in...- WVOldFart

Keeping an Open Mind
I smoke a lot of Match blends from Sutliff. V.I.P., Flying Dutchman, Field and Stream, Walnut, Holiday, Elizabethan, Edgeworth Ready Rubbed, Country Doctor, and Revelation to name just a few. I am a strong believer that the thousands of blends today are just trying to match the old Codger...- WVOldFart

Coatings on Chinese Pipes
I have only one Chinese pipe because most of their products are listed as just wood. I do have a Roadtown pipe made of briar which I really like. -
***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***
Enjoying my Savinelli 101 filled with Sutliff Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match with my cup of 8 o'clock coffee. I will have a bowl of V.I.P Match and then go mow the yard before it gets too hot. When I come in I think I'll have some Field and Stream Match. I hope everyone has a wonderful day without...- WVOldFart

Spring Pollen and Pipe Smoking
Title edited for capitalization. See Rule 9! Spring is a wonderful time of year, but as we know it is "the season for the sneezing". Does the pollen and allergies effect your pipe smoking pleasure?- WVOldFart

What "The Wife" Thinks
My wife doesn't mind me smoking as long as I do it in the sun room with the window fan sucking the smoke out. She likes seeing my pipes and learning about the different styles. I almost died a couple years ago so I'm sure she is just thankful that I'm still around as I am that she is with me...- WVOldFart

Favorite Morning Blend
It used to be Prince Albert, but now it is either Sutliff Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match, Match VIP or Iwan Ries Old Colonial. Coffee and a good pipe go together like prune juice and toilet paper.- WVOldFart

***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***
I enjoyed some Sutliff Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in my Prince of Wales pipe. It is a dreary morning in small town America, but a good cup of 8 O'clock coffee and a good pipe makes for a fine morning. The window fan takes the smoke from the sun room, which makes the wife happy even though the...- WVOldFart

Bad Tobacco ?
Most on-line tobacco sites, such as smokingpipes will sell bulk amounts of 1oz. or more. Buy a lot of 1 oz. samples and find out what you like.- WVOldFart

My Pipe Smoking Buddy is Gone
I am totally overwhelmed by the sincere responses to the death of my buddy, Quincy. It only proves that with all the differences in the world, most people can agree that a dog is a special pet. They have all the qualities that we as humans are suppose to have and don't. It is no wonder that God...- WVOldFart

My Pipe Smoking Buddy is Gone

My Pipe Smoking Buddy is Gone
I told Quincy just before he died to find Max (our former German Shepherd) and Sherlock, Blue, Flash the wonder cat and all my past pets and when it's time for me to go to come and get me. I would rather spend my eternity with my former pets than most humans. Of course I want my loving...- WVOldFart
