    XXV Reserve: A Celebration of 25 Years of Smokingpipes

    You're not alone there. In the early days of the internet my friend called the world wide web the world's biggest garbage dump. He had it pegged.

    What Are You Listening to? - July, 2025

    The Roches-Another World. I still remember seeing them on SNL singing the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel. That takes balls and a shit ton of talent.

    Stand Back, I Think She's Gonna Blow !!!

    Not to be nitpicky, but for the nonhunters here that rack above my head is from a bull moose. He just squeaked into the record book for a Shiras moose.

    What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025

    Thank you, but it's a bit embarrassing how I actually shot him. I waited 6 years to draw the tag and the night before the hunt my back went out. The next day I put a nice stalk on him and when I emerged from a draw he was only 50 yards away. Right as I shot, my back spasmed and I started to fall...

    Watch Out or Watch on? Pt 2.

    If you like divers, Seiko makes a number of them in a 45mm case size. Also Tissot Seastar 2000 in 46mm is a great value. Marathon makes a 46mm JSAR, but you'd have to get it in quartz to stay in budget, the auto version is 2k. Marathon uses tritium in some of their models instead of Super...
