    A "Dangerous" Find

    I have discovered by accident, that Amazon carries many of our favorite pipe brands - Savinell, Rossi, Peterson and Stanwell...I'm sure there are more, but I only looked for these brands. The beauty of this is that my wife can now easily see my Wish Lists...(insert diabolical laugh here)...

    Thank You Savinelli & SmokingPipes!!!

    So this weekend I received my 2nd Place prize from the Monthly Cartoon Contest (July 2016). I wanted to thank the sponsors Savinelli & SmokingPipes for selecting my entry and for such a fine prize. Here I am enjoying my new Rossi Otranto 8101 with a bowl of Boswell's Cherry Smash (my wife's...

    Pleasant Suprise Movies

    Occasionally, I'll stumble across a movie or two that surprised me in a pleasant way, not only for the acting but for solid story and where appropriate, a well-hidden twist. Some recent offerings: Chef Rudderless Hello, My Name Is Doris

    4 New Blends (For Me)

    Given the onslaught of Tobacco-geddon...as a very casual smoker I've opted to purchase a variety of blends while I can. I cannot claim to be a great purveyor of tobacco knowledge, history, etc. so I thought I would just try some things that "called my name" to try. My goal is to make some...

    Rick Black Son Of Pad

    So earlier this year I acquired a Rick Black Morta Thick Rhodesian. I truly liked the dimensions and smoking qualities and began following Rick's page more closely. Late last week, I snapped up a "second" from Rick for a really good price and Rick was kind enough to add a nice tamp to the...

    Run Free Maggie

    Yesterday, our 9 year old greyhound Maggie suffered a devastating leg break. She had no prior issues, but apparently stepped in a mole trail or rabbit hole during her daily "zoomie." After weighing surgery options, her thunder-phobic nature, resistance to certain types of meds and a 3-4 month...

    Licorice Pipes

    Visted a newly opened "old-time" candy store in our local area called Grandpa Joes Candy. They had individually wrapped licorice shaped like pipes - more of a church warden shape. Not into black licorice, but I was curious how they smoked. I think Harris would say they smoke like a goopy...

    The Movie You Always Stop & Watch

    So we all have them, films that regardless of how many times we've seen them, we just have to sit down and watch when channel surfing reveals them on TV/Cable. My "can't pass up" films are: -The Quiet Man - John Wayne -The Princess Bride -My Cousin Vinny I'm sure I have a few more, I just...

    The Red Baron - 2008 Film - Sometimes A Gem

    As an Amazon Fire user, I frequently get to see movies that are not always mainstream Hollywood. Last night I watched The Red Baron Wiki - The Red Baron (2008 Film) and enjoyed the perspective offered on WWI's greatest ACE Pilot. As a kid, I loved reading about early flight and the entry of...

    What Movie Remake Would You Like To See?

    Given advances in technology and the ability to create impressive movie sequences, and knowing good stories that were nearly impossible to produce in the past on the scale they deserved, what is a movie you would like to see remade today? My choice would be a Part 1, Part 2 rendition of Rafael...

    The Perfect Pipe

    My wife was paying for our lunch at the local Skyline Chili today and was perusing a basket of books. Seems the local library donates books for patrons for a free reading program. So, today she found: The Perfect Pipe by H. Paul Jeffers in hardbound with the library cover. As Daffy Duck...

    Is It TAD, Or Is It PAD?

    This is en route to me after ordering from Kyle Palmer at Two Bit Leather twobitleather@yahoo.com. It's a tobacco prep mat and a couple of leather pipe rests. So I ask you, is it TAD or is it PAD?

    Huck's Pipes & 5100 Red Cake

    True to my break in habit, I just enjoyed a bowl of 5100 Red Cake in my new Huck's pipe. It's a smaller chamber almost pocket size rusticated chimney. Tyler Huckfelt is newer to the pipe scene, but this little pipe just smokes great right out of the bag. It fit so nice in my smaller hand...

    St. Louis Pipe Show - A Spender's Recap

    While I didn't take any photos of the Pipe Show itself, I am posting a few pic threads in the Pipe Talk forum for the massive PAD Attack I suffered. EMT's were called, but it was too late as I suffered a 4-Pipe Event. Friday (yes, Friday): My wife and I set sail for about a 6+ hour ride to St...

    Rick Black Pad Attack

    So recently I was reading a thread where someone mentioned Rick Black pipes. Having the natural curiosity of a pipe hound, I had to check out his work. I discovered that I liked the masculine features of Rick's pipes, the dimensions and his interpretations of standard shapes. Within about 48...
