    Old Newsreel Charatan Pipes

    I don’t think I’ve seen this one before. Sorry, I only have the Facebook link Charatan Pipes

    First World Problems

    Let’s hear yours. I’ll start with one from last deer season: The first morning I left the battery pack for my heated vest plugged into the cabin wall instead of into my vest. 🤦‍♂️

    The Weekend Has Begun

    Happy Friday I’m kicking it off with the OG

    Only 32 Yards Passing….

    … and my Wolverines still managed to beat USC in a crazy and thrilling game. Unfortunately for Michigan fans, the defending National Champions are mostly playing in the NFL right now, and there is no viable QB. The bottom will fall out eventually. I think Ryan Day has an excellent chance...

    It Was Still Funny

    I know very well it is inevitable that I will one day be confounded by some everyday bit of technology. That being said, it was still funny as hell when my 79 y/o mother showed me photos of QR codes, saying “I took pictures of them, but nothing happened.”

    Smokingpipes.com Mystery Tobacco Review

    Based on a subtle tagging shift, it looks SP.com is going to only one review per month and will alternate between cigars and pipe blends, instead of a monthly review for each. I hope I’m wrong, but I don’t think so. I’m glad they’re continuing to do it at all, but I have to admit I’ll miss...

    Savannah, Georgia

    I just returned from a long weekend in Savannah, my first trip there. 7 couples (all friends from high school) went, and we stayed in a large townhouse AirBnB on one of the squares in the historic district. What a beautiful and fun city! The weather was perfect, the oysters were tasty, and...

    Topping Experiment Not A Disaster

    Just for shits & giggles, I recently tried topping some burley. I had previously topped some Virginias with rum, but that’s pretty easy. This time I incorporated some molasses, and I surprisingly found something close to an effective ratio. For 1 oz of burley (Peretti BPC), I mixed up 2...

    College Football Playoffs

    My condolences to Florida State. A true doomsday situation finally happened in the last year of the current system. I understand the arguments both for and against the committee’s decision, but the system’s broken and someone was going to get screwed.

    Having An Attack Of Shingles…

    … is not something I am finding enjoyable, especially on my goddamned face. Oddly enough, caffeine and nicotine both seem to take the edge off the pain, so that’s another reason for a bowl. I know that vaccines are a touchy subject these days, and I do not presume to tell anyone what to do...

    Lots Of Open Tins

    My smoking rate is pretty low, and I’ve enjoyed trying a bunch of different blends. That has resulted in about 80 open tins in jars in a basement cabinet. Needless to say, I sometimes forget what certain blends taste like, but I always remember about how much I liked them. Today I...

    KBV Jupiter Slices First Impressions

    Red Virginia plug. I can’t say it’s complex, but it is very good. Tang, fermented maltiness, and breadiness like you would expect. The sweetness is always there, but a bit subdued. There’s some fruitiness, too, but dried fruit that’s in the background and not very bright. In the second...

    The Chicken Or The Egg?

    I am thoroughly enjoying a pairing of a Manhattan (Rittenhouse Rye this time) and some aged Mac Baren Navy Flake. Also wasting brains cells pondering whether they are truly complimentary or if I just don’t care because I like them both independently. It’s good to have First World Problems.

    Sillem’s Musketeer First Impressions

    This is a rather unusual aromatic, at least in cut. It is half cube cut burley and half very coarsely cut black cavendish. The cav is so coarse, in fact, that packing this blend too tightly would take some serious effort. The blend was quite wet in the tin, but it dried readily. I got...

    Robert Stanford Tuck

    Below is Wing Commander Robert Stanford Tuck (with pipe), a Battle of Britain veteran who had something like 28 air to air kills before he was shot down and captured. Next to him is Roger Bushell, the famous mastermind of the Great Escape, later executed by the Germans. This photo was taken...

    Ovaltine In Coffee

    I’ve never been a regular coffee drinker, and I doubt I could tell the difference between Folgers and something high end. But I like coffee as a natural caffeine source if I need a bump. On a suggestion from a friend I added some Ovaltine mixed with some half and half to a cup of coffee...

    Raimo Riberg Commission

    I just received the pipe I commissioned from Raimo Riberg. Raimo is Estonian, and I first noticed his work on the Virtual Pipe Club’s Facebook feed. He posted some photos of a pipe that caught my eye, and I contacted him to ask if he could make something similar with a couple of personal...
