    Movies You Should See [but Probably Haven't]

    Come And See is definitely one everyone should see. Another war movie that’s not too well-known but worth it is The Victors. I saw it for the first time last year, and that firing squad scene is not one I’ll forget anytime soon.

    ***What Are You Smoking, November 2025?***

    Sun Bear Navy Cask in a Peterson 120. Currently looking back on what was possibly my shortest deer season. I took a chunky fork horn whitetail at 7:36 am on opening day (this past Saturday), at 16 yards (not a typo) from an elevated box blind. 1 deer is enough for me, so that was it. His...

    Edmund Fitzgerald 50th Anniversary Memorial Service in Detroit

    Continuing with this theme, my wife and I visited The National Museum of the Great Lakes in Toledo on Sunday, and got to tour the freighter permanently docked there for a special “Edmund Fitzgerald” tour. The tour guide had worked on tugs in Toledo, and pushed the Fitz around a few times...

    Edmund Fitzgerald 50th Anniversary Memorial Service in Detroit

    Most of the crew was from Ohio, as the EF’s winter lay-up port was Toledo. The memorial was held in Detroit because the Mariners’ Church is there, dedicated to Great Lakes sailors. I highly recommend “Gales of November” by John U. Bacon, which was recently released. He was able to get a...

    Is It Really Necessary To Rotate Pipes? My Opinion!

    I agree with the OP. When at home, I rotate them because I have them. Variety is nice, and I might as well smoke a bone dry and cool pipe. That being said, I abuse the hell out of a couple of pipes when I go on a trip somewhere just so I can fit everything in the small dry box I use to...

    Smoking Ban for a Generation in Maldives

    To be fair, Michigan also has a 6% sales tax on toothpicks.

    Carolina Red Flake with Perique (2020 release) in a Savinelli Punto Oro 707 I extend my deepest gratitude to all American veterans on this Veterans Day, and a salute to the fallen of the British Commonwealth nations on this Remembrance Day.

    What are You Reading Now?

    Just finished this, which was excellent: It has made me consider rereading Ian W. Toll’s Pacific War Trilogy, which I don’t have adequate superlatives for:

    GL Pease Embarcadero - A Blend I Enjoy

    I dig Embarcadero. There’s nothing earth-shattering about it, just a great smoke.

    Jim's STG Versions of Mac Baren Blends Reviews.

    Jim gave Mac Baren Navy Flake 4 stars out of 4, and the STG NF 1/4. Ouch! MBNF was the second blend I ever smoked, and it’s been a favorite of mine ever since. Even though I love MBNF and Vanilla Cream Flake, Mac Baren blends (including those favorites) had never been a focus of my...

    All Mixed Up

    Gord, don’t be a big game snob! A duck blind is a great place for a pipe, assuming you’re not too close to any gas tanks or flammable blind material. Both potential dangers are greatly mitigated (over and above simple common sense) by typical waterfowling conditions: breezy (no buildup of...
