    Answering Fred Brown

    Hi Fred: Just read most of your article. The reason that English pipes and tobaccos will not go down in price is that the importers have a chance to make some really big money here. I know because I used to import Japanese and European cameras. When you get a favorable break in the exchange...

    What Are New FDA Regulations?

    Referring to the Pipe Pundit article about the new regulations, what are they? He mentioned something about 2007. Someone please explain.

    Jean Paul Sartre

    I just saw a group photo taken in 1944 in Picasso's studio. John Paul Sartre was clenching a straight pipe. That is the guy who wrote in his autobio that he invented existentialism to get girls.

    Hamborger Veermaster

    I thought I posted this before but probably forgot to hit Send. Discovered two 250 mg bags hidden on a shelf. It is about 4 years old and aged quite well in the foil bags. Since I supposedly quit smoking I just had 8-10 drags. The color was darker, the taste mellow, not sharp as when fresh. As...

    Two 14 Year Old Pipe Smokers.

    Talking to Pipestud today reminded me of my teen years as a novice pipe smoker in the 1950s. A pipesmoking friend and I used to travel every weekend from Yonkers, just above NYC, to midtown Manhattan. We would play a game of mental chess on the subway trip from Woodlawn to 42nd st. Then we'd...

    Two UFC Upsets Tonight

    Miesa Cupcake Tate took the 135 pound women's title from Holly Holme, the Preacher's daughter. I was hoping Miesha would win, but had picked Holly. Then Nate Dias defeated Connor McGregor at 170 lbs. Both guys are among my favorites. In his last fight Connor defeated an opponent on a 10 year win...

    60 Year Smoker

    This month is 60 years of pipesmoking for me. Unfortunately the number will end here. I have just this week been forced to quit because of blood pressure problems. Well, maybe a pipe once in a great while. Have any of you survived more than 60 years of it?

    Swingtime Crosby

    I saw "Swingtime" with Fred Astaire for the 4th or 5th time the other night. Great dance film. In one scene Fred was smoking a Dunhill Crosby #4. It was 1936. Was the Crosby already named for Bing in 1936, or was it another shape that was later renamed for him? By the way, Swingline staplers...

    Five Cans Opened

    I have broken into the tobacco ageing stock to see how things are going. Here are some impressions. Nightcap, 4 years old: much better than before ageing. Mellower and smoother. Could use a few more years. Robert McConnell Scottish Cake: A vaper, aged 3 years. Very nice. Has some kind of...

    Turkish 84

    Is a Stokkebye blend i was tempted to get this week. This is a mild subtle tobacco. It will benefit with some months or years of age. Tried half a pound. It is mild and very nice. I smoked 3 briars of it yesterday and a corncob of it right now. Ingredients listed are Virginia and Turkish. There...

    Old Grandad

    For some reason. I have never, until today, wondered who was the old grandad of bourbon fame. This senior can no longer drink the rough whiskies, but it was my first regular college brand, along with Smirnoff, which, as the unsmelly drink, was good for drinking in class. His name was Basil...

    Warned About This Site

    I just got a warning from McAfee internet security to stay off this site. They said it exhibited "risky behavior." Obviously I ignored the warning, but thought I should say something to management.

    NYC Mayor Tries to Ban Smoking in Apartments

    DeBlasio (aka Wilhelm) has been a bit of a disappointment. I am not discussing politics, just this one proposed rule. NYC smokers should protest.

    A Pipesmoking Evening

    I had a visit from S S Jones last evening. Lots of talk about pipes and motorcycles; good times. And we were briefly greeted by the two fine women who were staying here for a few days (a friend and our model). They took some pictures of us on Al's camera. I hope he will post them, even if I did...

    Last Night's Fights

    It was a busy night for fight fans. Miguel Cotto put on a great performance KOing his opponent in the 4th round. He demonstrated that getting a top trainer and listening to him can turn a career around. There was a UFC card (mixed martial arts) as well. Most of the guys got knockouts in a...

    If You Happen to Meet an Elephant

    In such a situation what is the proper form of greeting? When the elephant holds up his trunk near your face you are supposed to blow into it. That registers your smell in his memory and he will know you in the future.
