    Great Quotes

    “Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.” ― H.L. Mencken, A Mencken Chrestomathy “As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will...

    A Cozumel Bus Ride!

    I used to travel to Nogales on business several years ago. One of my co-workers was involved in an accident at an intersection with a broken stoplight. They threw him in jail and when he finally went to court the judge found him guilty and said the malfunctioning stoplight was no excuse...

    Dunhill Early Morning Pipe

    I'm not sure. It makes no sense to me either because I love the other heavier Dunhill blends. I have asked myself that question many times and I just don't have an answer. I just don't like it. Weird, isn't it?

    I Need Some Help Cleaning Up and Selling a Pipe

    I have a nice Tim West sitter that I want to sell. I haven't been a member long enough to list it but am hoping I can can get some advice as to what it is worth and what I need to do to get it into a saleable condition. Tim made it for me back in 1998 or 1999 and I think I paid $150 for it at...

    Keeping Tinned Tobaccos in Optimum Smoking Condition

    I tend to keep my tinned blends in the tin after opening. I like the paper wrapper and the tin itself because I just like the way they look and function but I find the tobacco tends to dry out too much by the time I get to the last few bowls. Suggestions? Disclaimer: I am new to tins after...

    Does anyone "process" their tobacco

    If the ribbons are long I will sometimes tear them up a bit. Usually, they are fine. Stems I pull out and discard.

    Dunhill Early Morning Pipe

    I've tried a few more bowls of EMP and I can't get anything from it. I guess it is just too mild for me so I'll stick with London Mixture, Durbar, Apertif, and 965 for my Dunhill blends. London and 965 are my favorites.

    is regular wood stain ok?

    I think you should first smoke a pipe before attempting to refinish one. Simple, but obvious to me.

    And That's The Way It Is Christmas 2014

    Let's hope so, before progressive ideas completely destroy what's left of our liberties and way of life. I believe in people living their lives and being left the hell alone as long as they aren't harming others.

    Basic blends question

    If you smoke hard enough to get a lot of smoke coming from the bowl you are going way too hard and will fry your tongue and aromatics will magnify that. Standard Mixture is an excellent blend and if you smoke it slow and sip the smoke you will discover a range of flavors unlike aromatics which...

    Is Tobacco What It Used To Be?

    I remember touring the RJ Reynolds cigarette plant in Winston-Salem years ago and they had a tobacco seed display. They had a small container about the size of a shot glass filled with tobacco seeds and it said it was enough seed to plant many acres of tobacco. I can't remember the number but...

    Dunhill Early Morning Pipe

    Great advice but this blend just really underwhelmed me. I almost always find something to spark my interest when I first light a bowl but with EMP there was nothing. Perhaps I just prefer a heavier blend.

    Dunhill Early Morning Pipe

    Cigars and Pipes was having a buy 3 get one free Dunhill promotion so I picked up 16 tins of various blends. I'm glad I only chose one tin of EMP. I've read a lot of good reviews of it and was anxious to try it but I wasn't impressed. It is nicely cut into thin ribbons and the moisture content...

    End of the Semester Smoke

    I sure did, spent 5 years there and loved every minute, the first two years as a mechanical engineering major then transferred into the Krannert School and finished up in finance. I am still very involved with the University doing academic recruiting, mentoring student teams, etc. I did my...
