    According To My 3 Year Old Daughter

    This guy: Is pronounced pinecone. Don't, and trust me on this, try to correct her.

    Going To Smoke Today!

    I've got brisket and pork belly, neither of which I've done well with so far, on deck. Hopefully refining my techniques makes a difference. First change is cutting to more manageable size for both my smoker's ability and the number of people planned. There's no sense in cooking 30 Lbs of...

    Founders Beer!

    Holy moly! Didn't know this existed: Grabbed a 4 pack to try. I'll let you guys know my thoughts once I try it.

    I Really Shouldn't Be Allowed In Liquor Stores By Myself

    Had some time to kill this afternoon so I thought why not stop and have a beer? Now it just so happens we have a liquor store near me called Khoury's which is one of my favorite places. Ordered a glass of Belching Beaver barrel aged imperial milk stout with banana, chocolate, & peanut butter...

    Any Good Books On Modern Pipe Tobacco Production?

    I have some older (late 1800s) texts about tobacco production which are very interesting but I'm looking for something more modern. I think it would be interesting to see the comparison between the two and see what has/has not changed over time. It doesn't have to be the definitive volume on...

    Script Question For Movie Industry People

    I know absolutely diddly squat about the movie industry. What is a "Post Production Script "? I'm asking because I recently purchased a book by one of my favorite authors that is signed by the author. The book was made into a movie and an original post production script is available for sale...

    Maigurs Knets Shank Band

    Today is probably the first time I've smoked this pipe in daylight and I just now really noticed the band on it. I got the pipe as an estate piece in one of the Taurus auctions. It was listed as an acorn. I'm curious if this might be made from an actual acorn shell: Thoughts?

    Perfect Sunday - Breaking In Atlatl

    It's been a perfect Sunday so far. Took my 3 year old daughter to dance class this morning and discovered a fantastic new BBQ place. Name of the place is Smoke & Fire if you're in Vegas. Their fried chicken sliders with homemade blueberry jam and jalapeños are divine. Even my wife who was...

    GH&C Bob's Chocolate Flake - Give It Time

    I'm a big fan of BCF and to tell the truth I was a little disappointed with the last batch that was released. It seemed lackluster and almost missing the chocolate altogether. Indeed all of the GH&C blends in the last release seemed to receive much criticism here and elsewhere. Still I kept...

    Smoke Detector Question

    Calling @ashdigger and/or anyone who knows. My house has hardwired and interconnected smoke detectors/alarms. I want to upgrade the devices. Is a combo ionization/electrochemical smoke/CO detector as good as a combo ionization/photoelectric smoke detector? Does anyone make a triple sensor...

    Contacting Kenan?

    I can find Kenan Ahmet on FB but everything shown is all briar. Is this the same Kenan that make meerschaum pipes? If not, does anyone know how to contact him?

    Why/How Estates Can Be A Thing Of Beauty

    Without question I have, erm, eclectic(?) tastes especially concerning pipes but to my mind the LC shape is hard to beat. Classic and graceful, yet somehow very slightly funky, curves. Now I have been eyeballing a Martelo and also really like some other artisan versions others have posted and...

    (3rd Annual) Time For A Smoke & A Shiver

    Once again the season is upon us. My wife did a fantastic job decorating our house this year so I'll get some pics up later in this thread. Please do feel free to post your own. For tonight's story(s) I'm enjoying some C&D From Beyond in a jack-o-lantern meer by Kenan with a glass of Kelt VSOP...

    Kudos to Randy Wiley

    SP just put up several of his feather pipes. He used a multi-colored hardwood on the shank that I'm really liking. It has almost a Van Gogh Starry Night thing going on:

    Curating My Collection & Looking For Books

    The hunt is as much fun as the find. So one of the things I collect is books. I have all sorts of books and have read most of them. I don't collect any old book. The ones I do have a particular interest for me such as science, pipes, or a particular style of fiction. Part of my curating...

    Another Good Costco Whiskey

    103 proof Tennessee whiskey. $29.99 locally in Vegas. I plan on going back for at least 6 bottles.

    Huber Auslese Line?

    Does anyone have any experience with any of these? Particularly No 6 which I believe is black cavendish, Virginia, & burley with mango & strawberry.
