What Are You Smoking? December 2013
Well today I'm continuing the many tins from the Harris "must try" list. I started with a bowl of Klondike Gold, then Astleyes No.109. The line up for the rest of the day will be Rotary luxury flake, Capstan blue flake, Three nuns and Soloni 633 to finish it off. I think the line up is a nice...- dragonslayer

I Will Never Forget Those Who Gave Their All
My Grandfather served in the Pacific during WW2 and received a Silver Star for pulling 6 men from a burning gun turret after a kamikaze attack. He'd smoke a pipe when we worked in the garden, much to the distain of my grandmother. When I lived in Hawaii we of course went to the memorial, the...- dragonslayer

Grats Peck, a definite great investment. I had a feeling you'd pull the trigger on them. Posting "Cool pipes" was such a give away :P Craig- dragonslayer

Rarest Comoys Ever Auctioned
Those are absolute beauties. I think he would probably sell them at $1700, just a guess. I decided to take a look through the all the pipes for sale. I stopped looking about six months ago because I was always getting outbid and there were far fewer "good" pipes available. The number of pipes...- dragonslayer

The Bottom Third of the Bowl
For me it's the blend and mostly VA's and VaPers. A good blend will have many dimensions and takes you on a tour through the whole bowl. Sipping I think also has a lot to do with it. Craig- dragonslayer

Pipe Smoking Will Survive: New Article by Russ
Great thoughts and words Russ as always. You're not only a top blender, but the only one I've seen that puts themselves out there, embracing the personal and social media on every level. Greg Pease deserves some credit he's out there but not like Russ. Times are tough and we're not yet close to...- dragonslayer

I Have Been Holding Out on You Guys
No surprise, the eight ball off the rail... As I've heard a few say and will respond in your same way. Congrats on the cellar and getting it done, but it will never really be done. A day will come and a PAD won't do, you'll see something that you just must have. Then before you know it, confirm...- dragonslayer

My New Job (Pic Heavy)
Congrats on the job! It's great having it so close to your home. My first company I was driving sometimes an hour or more to a job, at least gas was cheap. By not having to use a car you can add that to your wage! My second company was 1.5 miles away and could see the building from my kitchen...- dragonslayer

Klondike Gold Flake
Harris I got everything on the list you sent (except the BCDF), so you know the smoking box will be over flowing. I plan to hit all the tins for at least six bowls and then the winners will be in the last big order for the year, Bummer about the Gold, I'll probably love it wanting to put a few...- dragonslayer

Well we now have cyber Monday where you can click confirm from your home, and if you know how to look you can get things at the same or even lower prices. I'm amazed and laugh at what people will do for a few dollars. Craig- dragonslayer

Pipes and Cigars: Why the Hate?
The only issues I've ever had with P&C have been things out of their control. These manufacture issues were taken care of by Russ and Niko not only immediately but better than expected. I know the recent bashing could only be taken one way, no matter how many times you say "But Russ is great"...- dragonslayer

Re-Using Mason Jars...
The main goal is to clean out any remaining tobacco oils and any unwanted spores. No reason to take a chance of having anything else done. If you want to run it through the dishwasher I'd still wipe it out with the alcohol before jarring to make sure it's clean of any film. You are getting ready...- dragonslayer
