    Allergy Season In Full Swing, Can't Enjoy My Tobacco

    So it's in full force now. Every year about this time, you can walk outside and find your car a newly minted shade of matte yellow. Even with a rain event to wash it away one day, it's back again the next. Woke up this morning with a stopped up head and a headache and very unwilling to smoke a...

    Cocobolo Wood Tamper And My Stack To Date

    Just finished a Cocobolo Wood tamper last night along with another Zebra Wood tamper. I'm loving the way the Cocobolo looks. Here's a few images of the ones from last night and then one of my stack of completed tampers so far: I'm planning on making a few more between tonight and tomorrow...

    Handmade Crochet Hook Display/Storage Cabinet

    I've been pretty busy the last few weekends and weeknights trying to make some things to sell at the TAPS Expo, but I've also been working steadily on a crochet hook cabinet that can display 10 hooks in the top, with two drawers below also holding 10 hooks each for a grand total of 30 hooks...

    I Been Busy Of Late... New Rack, Another Tamper

    Well, in preparation for the TAPS Expo this coming weekend, I've been busy adding a few more tampers and a couple more pipe racks. Should have about 4 racks and about 20 tampers ready to sell at the Expo. Here's the latest pipe rack made from pine and finished with a red oak stain: And here's...

    Anyone Own A Hector Wiebe Radiator Pipe?

    I'm quite interested in the H. Wiebe radiator pipes. Not sure why, but I love the way they look and how they are interchangeable, much like a Falcon. I have been on the fence for a Falcon for some time, but keep putting it off. I may still get one some day, but I discovered the radiator pipes...

    Decided To Make A Purple Heart Wood Tamper

    After the suggestion came up on one of my other tamper threads, I decided to try to make a tamper out of Purple Heart Wood and I think it turned out pretty well!

    Granadillo Wood Tamper

    So this is my second new wood thy I've made a tamper from. This is Granadillo wood. I hadn't heard of it before until yesterday, and now I have a new tamper made from it. It's quite pretty once cut and actually doesn't smell too bad, like some other hardwoods I've cut do.

    Wenge Wood Tamper...Branching Out A Bit

    Not tired of my Zebra or Walnut wood yet, but I decided to make a few other offerings for the TAPS pipe expo coming up in a couple of weeks. Went to my local Klingspor's this afternoon and picked up some blocks of Wenge, Cocobolo, and Granadillo wood. I wanted some Ebony, but they'd just had a...

    Wearing My Irish Kilt Today, Because...Why Not?

    I purchased myself a kilt last year to celebrate my Irish ancestry. I know the whole debate about whether or not my Irish ancestors even wore one, but it helps make me feel closer to them in some sort of way. I decided that since St. Paddy's Day is on a Sunday, I'd wear my kilt to work today to...

    What's Your Car Pipe?

    I like to have a bowl on my morning and/or afternoon commutes. Helps me relax when I'm amongst the neanderthals that was somehow able to obtain a driver's license. My latest car pipe useage has been my MM Dagner Poker and my Carolina Gent. They hold tobacco pretty well and are nice and short. I...

    In Preperation For St. Paddy's Day, What's Your Favorite Irish Whiskey?

    Alright, it's time to button down the hatches and gear up for some merriment, celebrations, good food, and of course...some Irish whiskey. I know I will be likely celebrating in style, just hate it falls on a Sunday this year. I want to toast a glass of some fine Irish whiskey, but never really...

    Does Tobacco Smell Or Taste Better In Cooler Weather?

    I always notice that things smell better in the fall and winter. Maybe they're more pronounced. Maybe they don't have as much heat or humidity in the air to affect the smells. I remember working at a Lowe's hardware store in high school and my first few years of college. At the upper end of the...

    Just Ordered A New Churchwarden... Gandalf Style... Somewhat

    So I'd been searching for a new churchwarden for some time now. Specifically something all wooden and I had been tossing around a couple of options and finally made a decision last night. I was in between MacQueen pipes and a guy I found on Etsy that makes a very simplistic style, all wooden...

    Alright, Serious Question of The Day: How Do You Like Your Eggs?

    Alright, time to get serious this morning. I get real serious when it comes to breakfast. It's my favorite meal of the day and sometimes even have it for supper. I love mine over easy, but scrambled with a little thyme ain't bad either. I love to make hash browns and put my over easy egg on top...

    My Missouri Meerschaum St. Patrick's Day Pipe Arrived Today!

    I just got home and found a package on my doorstep containing my Missouri Meerschaum St. Patrick's Day pipe and the pouch of Erin Go Bragh. I love the stem on this pipe. The cob and shank are also different and look very light in color, which is different than all my other cobs. It's a very...

    Cornell & Diehl Vieux Carré

    As I work my way through some of C&D's blends to try out as many of them that I want, I've just opened a sample of Vieux Carré. I gotta say, this is one very tasty blend. I can't taste the whiskey right away, but I find it in whisps as I smoke it nice and slow. It burns very easily and is very...

    Do You Prefer A Collection of More Classical Or Unique Pipes?

    Unique to one person can be bland to another, so I'm sure there's a lot of different takes on unique. When I think unique, I don't mean just the same classic shape with a different finish style, I'm talking about something special that makes it stand out. When I think unique, I think of stuff...

    Missouri Meerschaum has just released a St. Patrick's Day 2019 Pipe Bundle with a billiard style cob, straight stemmed, green and cream swirled, acrylic bit. They're also including a pouch of Erin Go Bragh. I have not tried any Erin Go Bragh myself, so that will be a first. Looks like it'll be a...
