    Rum!

    While I love Scotch and Bourbon there's something to be said for a good rum. So I'm starting this so that something can be said. I'll start off with some real premiums I hosted a tasting with last night: Just to help qualify some of what I'm about to say, I have a sweet tooth a mile wide so I...

    Dark Flake vs Brown Flake

    So a while back I decided to dabble a little in the dark arts and start trying/comparing various flakes and I have a few thoughts I thought I'd post here. GH&C Dark Flake Unscented vs GH&C Brown Flake Unscented: Nicotine: Most reviews say the nic-hit is stronger in the Dark over the Brown...

    How Do You Clench?

    I'm not a clencher but I have a pipe with an acrylic stem I use when working in the yard. I put a rubber bit on it but I'm thinking of changing that to the infamous bondage tape. Before I do anything, however, I gotta ask, how do you guys clench without drooling problems. I drool worse than my...

    Meerschaum Dragons Are Going To Kill Me

    I find my self going down website rabbit holes when PAD kicks in but ever since I got my last dragon meer it's gotten just plain ridiculous! I'm selling my old wine cellar and have decided some of the proceeds will be diverted to a new dragon meer. This is where the problem starts. There are...

    Books!

    Let's see some books/collections. After all, a good book enhances a good pipe, or is it the other way around? LOL Here's most of my short horror story collection: I'll be posting more soon.

    Some Antique Store Rescues

    Stopped into a nice little antique store this weekend while on a road trip to visit some family. Rescued 4 pipes: I've been wanting a dragon claw meer for some time now and couldn't pass it up for $25: I just really liked the shape and color of this tawny saddle Comoy's for $40: This little...

    Didn't Notice Until Closer Inspection

    Getting ready for a road trip this weekend to visit some of the wife's family. Decided I'd take along a pipe to give to Tony (husband of my wife's cousin) as his broke a while ago. Decided upon a WO Larson from a Christmas set I ordered. The set contained a pipe, tool, and tin of Larsen...

    My Dulger Dragon Finally Arrived!!!!

    And it's everything I hoped it would be! I posted pics in the meer thread but those were the bay pics which didn't do it justice. The carver is Mustafa Dulger from Turkey. I don't know anything about him but he did an exceptional job. There is quite a lot of detail to this pipe. I am so...

    Anyone With Bjarne Viking Pipes Experience?

    Looking at one of these on the bay: Looks like a nice pipe for $40 but is it really made in Denmark or is this a Chinese counterfeit? The 2 that I can find are ship from China. With the Dupont counterfeits being marked Paris with no indication of being Chinese made other than the price and...

    Just received from Blue Room Briars. Definitely not a clencher! I saw and it had to have it.

    Bulk Rum Flavored Aros

    I, for one, am a fan of these so I thought I'd post a few comments (not reviews) of my thoughts on some specific blends. Sutliff Sunset Rum: This one actually doesn't really do much for me. It's mild and sweet but doesn't have much going on. Sutliff Buttered Rum: This one has a nice rum to it...

    Savinelli Pouch

    Being a fan of Savinelli I thought it would be nice to have a pouch from them. Got this for $30 on the bay: Can't wait for it to get here!

    Yellow Dust

    It's that time again! Cleaned the backyard today to get ready for grilling some food tonight. Hosed the back patio off and it ran yellow with pollen. No wonder I've been wanting to scratch my eyes out! Enjoyed some Manil Le Petit Robin while cleaning though. First bowl since last year due to...

    Blends I Stockpile & Are (Mostly) Available

    With all of the talk about unavailable/discontinued blends I thought I would post a list of blends I always try to order when the funds are available. Whenever there is a good sale I grab a few tins of what I can if they're available. They usually are with the exception of a few but even those...
