    A "manly" poem that mentions smoking a pipe.

    The Call By: Earl H. Emmons Did you ever have a longin’ to get out and buck the trail, And to face the crashin’ lightnin’ and the thunder and the gale? Not for no partic’lar reason but to give the world the laugh, And to show the roarin’ elyments you still can stand the gaff. Don’t you ever...

    My First Peterson Estate And Others

    I was given a few estate pipes recently including a Savinelli Oscar Lucite 104, Sasieni Royal Stuart, a couple of cheap meers and what appears to be a 1989 Peterson Meerschaum - or, at least, the date stamp on the silver band appears to be the "D" showing that the band was made in 1989. The...

    Pipe Shops In the Florida Keys?

    Wife and I are gonna spend a few days in the Keys next week. Does anyone know of any good pipe shops down there... Or any suggestions for things to do or places to visit? Our base will be Tranquility Bay Resort in Marathon but we plan to do a bit of site seeing throughout the Keys.

    Dammit Russ! You're Not Helping My PAD!

    Got the email from P&C this morning about the churchwarden special - $29. I love several of them but promised myself I wouldn't buy any new pipes till the fall. Dammit Russ! I bit on this one. Hope it smokes as nice as it looks. :mrgreen:

    Tobacco And The Soul

    Here is an interesting article regarding tobacco that I thought others might enjoy reading and discussing. From the article: and

    Pipe In Art Considered Porn?

    This was posted in several pipe groups on facebook and I wondered what you guys/gals opinion is on this. Do you consider this to be porn or just art similar to Michelangelo's David? Personally, I find it erotic but not pornographic. I wonder if the reaction has more to do with the fact the lady...

    Cellar Inventory Spreadsheet

    I finally got around to developing a spreadsheet to keep track of my cellar inventory. It is a work in progress - I'll be adding my own notes and any other information I decide might be important... might delete some content also if not helpful. At least now I can keep track of what I purchase...

    Learn And Laugh - Ze Frank

    My son just introduced me to this guy's work... lots of irreverent "documentaries" about sea life. FUNNY STUFF if you have a warped sense of humor. :rofl: Here's one about Sea Pigs. Enjoy!

    Prepping The Palate For The Pipe

    Sorry if this has been addressed before but my search didn't produce the results I'd hoped... So... the first smoke of the morning is invariably the finest for me. By that I mean the flavor of the tobacco seems to come through "uninterrupted" - I imagine this is due to the fact that any flavors...

    Bass Fishing In My Back Yard

    While I sit and enjoy my pipe, my son comes over and entertains me with a nice fishing show... he's pulling in some nice large mouth bass from our pond this spring. Life is good... life is extra good with a pipe and great kids!

    Meerschaum Fans... Talk To me.

    I need as muc info on meerschaums. As you can provide. Granted, I am a newbie but have taken to pipe smoking relatively quickly. Packing, cadence, etc are pretty much second nature to me now after a few months of smoking. I've bought a couple of grand worth of pipes and tobaccos and love 'me all...

    New Jaguar Meerschaum For My Birthday

    I mentioned recently that I wanted a meerschaum that looks like the Jacksonville Jaguars logo. My daughter got me this one for my 58th B/D. I think it's a pretty damn good likeness of the logo... I'm psyched and eager to smoke it. She ordered from andmeerschaum on Saturday and it arrived...

    Finding the right match with blend and pipe

    I have a Bjarne Viking pipe that I really like the looks of and it is nice and light to clench but it just hasn't smoked all that great so I haven't been smoking it often. I've tried Dunhill My Mixture 965 in other pipes and haven't been overly impressed... not bad but not great either. This...

    Commissioned Meerschaum Recommendations?

    I only have one meer purchased on eBay... Not very high quality but inexpensive. I can't say it is a great smoker but not bad either... Get what we pay for I figure. At any rate, I'd like to get a decent meer ( not wanting to spend hundreds but willing to pay for decent quality workmanship). I...

    How Long Would I Have Lived If...

    So, I'm watching the news a couple of days ago and this "doctor" by the name of Dr. Oz comes on saying that microwave popcorn is bad for you and can shorten your life. This got the old wheels turning in my head. 1. I smoke a pipe (some/many say that shortens life) 2. I sit most of the day. I'm...

    Tips On Rubber Bits

    Although it took awhile to get used to using the rubber bits, I now really like them but have a small problem with some. (BTW, had I used rubber tips 30 years ago I could have saved a lot of money but that's another topic altogether). The problem I have is that one size doesn't fit all. The...

    Very Cool Gramophone Pipe

    Saw this on Facebook... made by Kostas Gourvelos. Being a newbie, I'm not familiar with his work but would love to have this just for the sheer artistry! ...don't know that I'd ever smoke it though.

    Ferndown Arrived - Looks Good Next To My Radice

    I recently purchased an estate Ferndown from one of our friends here and it arrived in the mail today. Also arriving today is a 2 pipe stand I ordered so that I could display the Ferndown next to my other favorite - a Radice. I think they look pretty handsome together. Guess what I'm gonna be...

    Melange Mornings

    When I first tried Melange, I was unimpressed but after reading a post about it about a week ago I decided to give it another try. The post said that ghosting is an issue with Melange so I pulled out a rarely smoked MM cob one morning, packed in the Melange, poured a fresh ground cup of dark...
