    600 Million Prize

    Almost more than I can imagine having that much money.I would keep UPS busy for months for sure.I think I would travel to Europe and visit the pipe makers and have them custom make me some of those big dollar pipes.Then I would move into a bigger house so I could have a whole room to store...

    Life's Cycle

    It seems that almost every day I read of a well known person who has died.Most of them in their eighties.It's getting a bit spooky.I will be 71 this year.I think it's time to change my diet,get more exercise,and get in better shape.I don't really like the idea of someone else smoking my pipes.

    Tax Returns

    It's that time of the year when I start looking for my tax returns.Now I know that this money is sent to me so I can buy more pipe tobacco.So why does my wife want to do silly stuff with it? Like pay bills I guess I'm never going to understand how women think.

    How Long To Make A Pipe

    Since we're talking about high grade pipes..Lets say that a professional carver sets out to make one pipe completely by hand.We see these vidios on Youtube where someone makes a pipe in 10 minutes.My guess is it really takes a few hours.Anyone have an idea how long it actually takes.

    Once in a while someone posts about how much they enjoy spending time with another pipe smoker.The're just seems to be something special in conversations between pipe smokers.A bond of sorts that doesn't seem to be there with cigarette smokers.I almost never get to talk to another pipe smoker in...
