    Florida Pipe Smokers Meet - Saturday December 7 - Edwards Pipe & Cigar Tampa

    I had a family conflict and can't do the Ybor City Cigar Festival. Instead, we can meet at Edwards Pipe & Cigar this Saturday at noon. A good source tells me @condorlover1 and @gamzultova useful be attending. Hope to see others this Saturday.

    Seen This Week, Pretty Awesome

    This Eagle was 15 ft from me while playing golf. It was enjoying a meal, given the large amount of fathers, had to be some large bird. These photos don't do this magnificent bird justice. I could easily see the size of the beak and claws. I had no thoughts of investigating more closely.

    Florida Pipe Smokers - Ybor City Cigar Festival November 8

    We haven't had a get together for awhile. This looks like it could be interesting. We could potentially meet at one of the smoking friendly establishments for brunch then go to the festival. What do you think? Ybor City Cigar Festival

    Caitlin Clark left off Women's Olympic Basketball Team.

    Not pipe related other than I've smoked many a bowl watching Caitlin Clark play basketball. If you're a basketball fan at all and haven't seen her play, do yourself a favor and watch one of her games. How can they leave Caitlin Clark off of the women's Olympic team? I'm not sure she's one of the...

    Couldn't Help Myself After Seeing This Meer

    I haven't ordered a new pipe in around 2 years. I've said I don't want any more Meers as I want to focus on coloring the 2 I smoke daily. But ..... I saw this one on Altinay's site the other day and couldn't resist. There were a few things I didn't like so I used this one to commission a custom...

    Had a great Thanksgiving Celebration at my Son's place. Had the whole family together. Blessed.

    A Tale of 2 Meers

    Two Meers, totally different coloring results. The Altinay figural has around 700 bowls through it. No really dark areas, kind of brown all over. The photo doesn't show how brown it is. There are some dark areas creeping in here and there, you can see on the bottom. Then there's the Basket...

    Solution for Cold Weather Smokers

    I'm visiting my Daughter and Grandchildren in Indiana. Mostly in the 40's and 50's with intermittent rain. Breezy. One day freezing my arse off and getting wet was enough. This Pod is awesome. I have an electric blanket and it is more than enough, just the heat it is putting off keeps the inside...

    Altinok Meer Colorihg Progression

    The last photo was August 15 when I got the Altinok back from Ryan Alden. The first 2 photo is then, the subsequent ones are today around 47 bowls later. This pipe has right around 200 bowls smoked.

    Third Time Is Definitely Charms

    I sent my favorite Meer, my Altinok, to Briarville and then Tim West. Briarville was a complete ClusterF,if you recall, and Tim West didn't turn out much better. For whatever reason, I'm sure for expediency and cheap, Briarville unnecessarily drilled out the shank to fit their POS stem instead...

    Florida Pipe Smokers Meet - Saturday July 22

    We're looking to get together on Saturday July 22. Time would be noon. Site TBD, either Edwards Cigar or one of the Cigar Bars in Ybor City. It's likely too hot to sit outside at Edwards and their back room isn't big enough to comfortably seat more than 6 if memory serves correctly. Myself...

    Altinok - 100 Bowls Smoked

    May be 97, may be 105 but very close to 100. This pipe has colored great and is a fantastic smoker.interesting how I've done nothing different with this pipe while I've smoked over 500 bowls in my IMP and Altinay and they're nowhere close in coloring.

    Puffing With BenT

    John called me a couple of days ago, introduced himself and said he’s visiting nearby and would like to get together. We agreed to meet at the Maduro Cigar Bar in Sarasota. We just spent 3 1/2 hours hanging out, smoking and drinking a beer or two. Great guy, I really enjoyed meeting John and...

    Tim West Meerchaum Stem Repair

    Received my Altinok Meer back from Tim West today 4 weeks to the day he received it. Not perfect but significantly improved over what I experienced with Briarville. Tim took the existing stem, cut off the bit end and replaced that. As you can see, not a perfect match but in daylight, you can...

    Alternative to Briarville for Stem Replacement

    I sent my Altinok to Rich at Briarville to replace the stem. I wrote to match for as close as possible and wanted wide and thin since I'm a clincher. Below is what I received back. He also told me it would be $35 to $45, it was $59. Below is what I received back. Why couldn't be have sent me a...
