Good Afternoon from TX!
I think it should be de de rigueur for anyone from Texas to at least say where in Texas you're coming from. Otherwise it's kinda like saying "I'm from Europe." All kidding aside, welcome from Lockhart, just south of Austin. Happy smoking and welcome to you. :-) Best regards, Chris- rorrer

***What Are You Smoking, June 2022?***
After so much heat and dryness, the skies turned dark this afternoon and there was RAIN here in central Texas. I celebrated with a bit of GLP Quiet NIghts in one of my favorite pipes, a diminutive little KB&B Blue Line bulldog with Bakelite stem. There may have been a little bootleg tequila...- rorrer

Have You Ever Regretted Selling a Pipe?
I sold this cased pair of Peterson pipes a while back after having owned them for many years. I miss them, but they weren't right for me. I'm a little rough on pipes and often smoke while I'm working outside. These were just too dang nice for me, and were better off with a collector (which I'm...- rorrer

***What Are You Smoking, June 2022?***
Have been away for awhile, not smoking much, unfortunately ... too busy, too hot, etc. blah blah blah. Despite the central Texas heat that is attempting to break my spirit, I spent some time this morning with some Westminster in a Dunhill 3108. Nice to be back. Cheers to all. C.Rorrer- rorrer

Early morning smoke with a bit of Seattle Pipe Club's Plum Pudding in an Elliot Nachwalter bent Dublin. Drinking a bit of Espresso and ice water alongside it. Getting ready to go gather blackberries if the birds have left any for me. :-) Don't know about y'all, but I tend to smoke a bit less in...- rorrer

1911-1912 Peterson Patent Calabash
Jesuchristo!!! ... what an assemblage. I love that you're bringing these back to life for future generations to smoke and enjoy. So many restorable pipes are written off and tossed away. Cheers to you, my friend. C.Rorrer -

HAH! Pretty much. Amazing work! :-) C.Rorrer -
1911-1912 Peterson Patent Calabash
Interesting ... he's in my neck of the woods. I don't have anything in need of restoration right now, but his work looks amazing. C.Rorrer -
***What Are You Smoking, May 2022?***
Back from a week traveling to a chess tournament with the kiddo ( TX -> NC and back). It was early May when I left, but now that I'm back it feels like late August. Summer has come on early and with a heavy hand to central Texas, y'all. After a week of no smoking, I'm enjoying some GLP...- rorrer

Early morning wrenching in the garage with espresso, ice water, and a bowl of Penman's Choice in a Ropp Etudiant bent billiard. Preparing for a road trip next week taking the man cub to a chess tournament where he's hoping for an International Master norm. 2500 miles in a 17 year old German car...- rorrer

Not going to lie ... if I saw a pack again, I'd almost certainly buy it and smoke one with an espresso. :) C.Rorrer- rorrer

***What are You Smoking, April 2022?***
Don't know about the Gitanes, but I haven't seen the unfiltered Gauloises anywhere for a LONG time. Last time I saw them was in Prague about ten years ago, and I had to buy a pack for old time's sake. Admittedly, I haven't been looking, though ... I was never a frequent cigarette smoker, and...- rorrer

***What are You Smoking, April 2022?***
Quick morning smoke with a bowl of Abingdon in an Eric Paulson Devil Anse, along with a cup of hot black tea (Lahaha Royal Black, if anyone is interested) before settling down to the day's work. Something about an English blend and black tea just clicks for me, kinda like a triple espresso and...- rorrer
