    Elgo Plastic Bricks!

    My wife, who was born and raised in Mexico, had never played with Legos until a week or so ago. I was thoughtlessly popping bricks together while playing with my 4 year old daughter and my wife was stunned by how easy it looked to create something but how difficult she found it. I told her...

    The Skids! (Jeep Plates)

    Spent about an hour this morning changing out the stock protection for some aftermarket 3/16" steel plates. Transfer case skid plate: Transmission and oil pan skid plate: I used and abused the stock stuff for years and it took it well so I thought the new plates might not be entirely...

    Smoking Ham, Cheese, Salt, & Pepper Flakes!

    I got the cheapest quality grocery store ham on purpose to see how much smoking it would improve it. I'm trying a second brand of blue cheese in addition to the brand I smoked last time just for comparison. Trying a Swiss cheese for the first time. The cheddar is a supposed aged English...

    Ronson v. Falcon Question

    I picked up a Ronson pipe in a Prescott antique store this weekend and am wondering if falcon bowls would fit it. I plan cleaning the original briar bowl but an extra meerschaum bowl would be cool to have. Pics: It's a pretty cool pipe with 3 draft holes in the bottom of the chamber...

    What Are You Drinking May 2023

    I didn't see this started elsewhere so I thought I'd give it a go. Last night I had a stellar Lock Stock & Barrel 20 year old rye while at The Palace (where Wyatt Earp & Doc Holliday used to hang out). Now I'm enjoying the heck out of some various Meads:

    Smoking Various Cheeses

    While picking up a few BBQ necessities just also grabbed some different cheeses to see how smoking might go. I got a cheap grocery store brand extra sharp orange cheddar, a Tillamook white cheddar, a mild mozzarella, a gouda that had a red wax cap on it, and some Maytag blue: The smoked...

    Unexpected Pipe Smoking Benefit: First Bat of the Season

    While sitting in my backyard and enjoying my pipe I saw my first bat of the season in the gloaming tonight. Just minding my own business and there went across an open patch at about the 2 story rooftop level. I love watching these guys fly with their erratic swooping and twisting flight paths...

    Smoked Some Cheese &Ham

    @mawnansmiff I smoked a proper English cheddar this time: Cut into smaller pieces for more surface area: Loaded and ready: Smoke starting: 6 hours later: There is some serious smokiness here! It should mellow to a perfect level over the next few days.

    Savinelli 145th

    It's been quite some time since I had this but had a bowl today. The dark fired is mellowing in terms of smokiness which is a good thing IMO andthe BBQ is far less noticeable. The perique still has plenty of spice but the tin note was much plumy-er/raisiny-er. Both the tin note and taste have...

    Ham, Another Great Thing To Smoke

    I cold smoked a cheap grocery store ham this weekend. 6 hours with a mix of cherry and almond woods. Just fantastic. Deli sliced most of it for sammiches. Some was eaten cold and some pan fried at breakfast. Going to double the smoke time on another and see how it turns out. Also going to...

    Preparing For Disneyland

    My daughter turns 4 in a little under 2 weeks from now so we're taking her to Disneyland today. I'm preparing to enter the park with child the best way possible: I did get time last night to enjoy a nice relaxing Baccarat cigar outside the hotel last night.

    Anyone Tried Any Of These 3 Blends?

    I'm thinking of getting a few tins each of: Rattray's Macbeth Rattray's Caribbean Dream McConnell Old London Pebble Cut From what I can find the McConnell is worth getting and the other two might be worth at least trying. So has anyone tried these and if so what are your thoughts?

    Yanik Skull & Claw Meer

    Just got this out of my mailbox. The pictures don't do it justice and the drilling look perfectly centered.
