    Bad Timing

    This evening I finished reading a good article on my phone and my wife wanted to read it so I handed her my phone. As she was reading I heard my phone ding and she told me I had a text message. I couldn’t see it but this is what the text message said. “Are you on Singleactions.com?” So, my...

    Strange Object In The Sky

    My evening smoke on the patio has been interrupted. My wife noticed an object in the sky. To the naked eye it looks like a small full moon. With 10X binoculars it appears to be a balloon. It is an inverted teardrop shape similar to a hot air balloon with no basket. It is iridescent white with...

    Pack Rat Solution, YMMV

    I started this thread due to @Bananacaravanadium mentioning his rat problem in the WAYS thread. I figured it was better to start a new conversation. I had a problem with pack rats this summer. They haven’t gotten into the house and garage but they loved to hang out on my patio and poop all over...

    I Found Polished MM Morgan For Sale

    I was looking for a Morgan today and WV Smoke Shop has the discontinued polished Morgan in stock, so I bought two. I thought I would have to settle on a natural finish, but I got lucky.

    Buster’s World

    I don’t do Facebook, but my wife shows me these videos when I need a laugh. Works every time. https://m.facebook.com/61557440467539/

    Am I Becoming a Real Man?

    I had a rough day at work yesterday, so after a light dinner I was craving a little nicotine to help me unwind. I loaded a MM 5th Avenue Diplomat with C&D Cigar Leaf, rated as a strong blend, and settled in for my smoke. I do not have a high tolerance for nicotine so I expected to be feeling it...

    A Cat Question

    I have a question I hope someone can help me with. The wife and I have been seeing a cat hanging around our house lately. See photos of said cat below. It is a nice looking cat, rather large, but a bit aloof. Does anyone have any suggestions on how we can get it to warm up to us? Sorry for the...

    In Praise of the Poker

    I am attracted to standard shaped pipes like billiards, apples, Dublins etc. The poker shape never caught my eye, so I put off buying a poker until I recently bought this Ben Wade Brogue. I wish I hadn’t waited so long. I love this pipe. It is easily my best smoker. It feels good in the hand...

    Cherry Crumble Cake

    My former neighbor has smoked Captain Black Cherry since he was in law school back in the ‘60’s. I would smoke it with him when we would get together. After I moved away I ordered 8 oz. of Wilke Cherry Cavendish for him, which he likes, but he said it doesn’t burn well for him. I told him to dry...

    C&D Engine #382 vs C&D Crooner

    I want to give Deer Tongue a try. From the descriptions and reviews I am leaning to #382 as it is not as strong as Crooner. Both are available in bulk so I should probably try an ounce of each. For those who have tried both blends, do you have a preference and why? Or do you hate both?

    New D&R Multi-Layer Bags-Long Term Storage Question

    I bought 3 bags of Three Sails. I jarred one bag so I could have some to smoke. I have enough wide mouth quart Ball jars for the other two bags but the label states: New Bag Multi-Layer Protection. I am wondering if these would be good for two or three years of storage. I have always jarred my...

    Instant Reaction To Peterson’s Early Morning Pipe

    I get an instant chemical reaction when smoking EMP. With the first few puffs I get a tingling sensation throughout my mouth. A few more puffs and my entire mouth and tongue are stinging bad. I have tried several times over several months and always get the same reaction. The first time I pushed...

    Easy Forever Stem Gurgle Fix

    I initially bought two VT Freehand Forever Stems. I liked the looks and draw but they gurgled badly. I did some online research and found that drilling the tenon mouth out wider would fix the gurgling. I used standard twist drill bits on a drill motor, working my way up to 9/32”. It was a...

    Calcined Meerschaum?

    I am thinking about purchasing my first meer. I want to compare how meer smokes compared to briar and cob before purchasing more briar's in case meer turns out to be my thing. This calcined pipe caught my eye. It has the dimensions I was considering for my next briar, and I like the amber color...
