Philly's Morley's PC Thursday 8Feb 7:00pm
The great Eagles win is giving us a huge (3 million expected) parade. This is making Thursday's Morley's timing a little shaky. hp les- lestrout

French Tobacco Recommendations
The great, late Bob Runowski (Morleysson) told me at Morley's that since the French government controlled, maybe even owned, the local tobacco industry, that there was very little innovation or quality to be found in French pipe tobacco. This is a real shame, since the French pipe makers are...- lestrout

A Cosmic Twist of Fate
Yo wo I guess I'm implicated in this conspiracy. I'm glad to have participated in this twist, and I got out my Ulu to process it properly.

Who's Going To The Newark ('NY') Pipe Show?
Yo Simo Given your predilection for Condor, your toppings choice for pizza will be "All of the Above". Yesterday at Morley's, I helped a new member Ulu a Condor Plug. He sacrificed a new MissMeer on it, and then proceeded to want to relieve himself - he wanted to unplug himself, as it were. I...- lestrout

Tulip Mania in Old Tobacco Prices!
Yo Simo If your basis of comparison is cigars, and the old tin turns out ok, one could justify a 2 oz tin of $300 or more by doing this math: 15 bowls x $20/stick. hp les- lestrout

Quintessential Shapes by Maker
Yo loa Any thoughts about hawkbills? I gather Castello was the originator. This shape is strange in that very slight variations jump out to the eye, more than any other. I have a Radice, since none of the dozens of Castellos I've seen jump into my acquisition list. hp les -

Lane Limited - "Crown Achievement"

P&C Pairing Guide by Russ Ouellette
At one of the Lehigh Valley Pipe Club meetings, Russ told me he used to be a chef. His palate is remarkable by any standard, and no doubt he is in the top echelons of Supertasters. His background in the two disciplines of food/drink and tobacco gives real weight to the pairing notes. So the...- lestrout

Just Finished This Billiard Really Tried to Pay Attention to Straight Lines
