    Peterson 2024 St. Patrick's Day Pipe

    I should probably clarify that the only one of those I find to be attractive is the smooth finish. I think the reddish stain contrasts nicely with the green band. The others I find too dark and unappealing. Hopefully they look better in person. I'll be passing on this one however. I don't pick...

    Peterson 2024 St. Patrick's Day Pipe

    Absolutely true. I had a racing green pipe which turned puke green/ olive drab. It was terrible. Although they are pretty, I've not purchased another green stained pipe because of that experience. (And the continued experiences of others)

    Let's Grow some Tobacco this Year!

    I've been very interested in growing my own for several years. I've made space on my property and have been letting the pigs & chickens root up the dirt around where I intend to plant tobacco. I'm going to try my hand with Kelley Burley, TN86 Burley, TN 90 Burley, Shirey Virginia & Virginia Gold...

    Best VaPer Straight From the Tin

    If you're seeking out good quality Virginias that are excellent right out of the tin, three I would suggest are Peterson Flake, MacBaren HH Pure Virginia, and Capstan Flake (Blue). If it's Va/Pers your looking for, three I would suggest are Escudo, Peterson Deluxe Navy Rolls, and Sutliff 1839...

    Inexpensive Pipe Lighter.

    I prefer a Zippo (w/ pipe insert) if I'm using something other than matches. It's my go to lighter, and as others have previously mentioned... it's affordable as well as iconic. For the money, I don't think it gets better. I do keep a couple of these lying around, especially in the truck and...

    How to Keep Pipe Rim from Darkening?

    I once read about a procedure which utilized bleach to alleviate rim darkening... I can't for the life of me recall where I read about it... or if it worked on pipes? 😎

    Best Blend of 2023: An Elimination Game

    Maybe... I don't really understand the rules to the game anyway. Am I supposed to vote today or something? Was I supposed to vote yesterday? Do I get a vote everyday? I don't know...

    What are You Watching? [2023] Please Rate 1-5

    Final flick of the year... Hunter Killer (2018) on Netflix. Pretty generic submarine political espionage thriller starring Gerard Butler. Slow paced. Decent plot. Action scenes were done well. Pretty good, but not great. If you enjoy sub movies, it's definitely worth a watch. (4/5*)

    Ruminations on Accumulating Wealth

    "But if they lost 1.4 trillion in 2022 and gained back 1.5 trillion this year, they are only about treading water, I’d say. And they don’t get that money unless they sell, and that would trigger taxes, so that’s not too likely they’ll cash in their chips." Wealth that one can't touch, and...
