    Alienist Anyone?

    One of my favorite books of all time, but I don't get any live TV. Bummer. I'll have to wait until it comes to Netflix or Amazon.

    Allllll Aboard!!

    Congratulations! But, I feel compelled to give you some advise. Those steam trains are OK, but watch out for the diesels. I was watching a documentary with my son. It was set on an island off the coast of England, but I assume it's true everywhere. The diesels are always up to something, always...

    Halloween Costume Thread

    My son is a Minecraft addict. He is dressing as a Creeper and I'm dressing as Steve. He's gonna chase me, and make exploding noises.

    Did Savinelli Make a 2015 Saint Nicholas Poker?

    Yeah, this year's is my favorite yet. I love the red stain and the white stem. Looks kinda like a candy cane. I haven't smoked it yet, though. I usually wait until Christmas eve while I'm putting toys together.

    Did Savinelli Make a 2015 Saint Nicholas Poker?

    Thanks, Anthony. I imagine you're right, as I haven't found one, or even a picture of one, anywhere. Oh, well... It's not like I have any lack of pipes to smoke. Bummer, though.

    Did Savinelli Make a 2015 Saint Nicholas Poker?

    I buy a St. Nicholas poker (311 KS) every year, but I don't have one from 2015. I hadn't really settled in to what I like back then, so I bought a Prince that year. I've since decided that I want a Christmas Poker for every year I've been smoking a pipe, but I can't find a 2015. In fact, I...

    Why Did You Quit Drinking?

    When I drank, life was bad. While I've never been unemployed, it turns out that that was the last excuse I was holding on to. I always had a job, but... I was 118 pounds at 5'6". I drove away a great woman. I woke up in all sorts of places with no memory of getting there. I hurt every day...

    Ropp Vintage pipes

    Like Mothernature, I'm not a huge fan of the horn stems. They LOOK great, but I just don't find mine to be too comfortable. The non-horn, though, are among my favorite pipes. I have four in total. They are light, attractive and smoke well. They are small, but I look at the dimensions, to try to...

    Anyone Else Ride?

    I ride pretty much every day. I've had most types, but I generally go for long distance touring bikes. I have a 2017 Ultra Limited for REALLY long distance touring, and a 2003 Heritage Springer for more local stuff, but still with lots of storage space. I'm old and fat and tend to choose comfort...

    Help Me Name My New Blend

    Wow! You guys are awesome! But... Grouchydog got me thinking about bluegrass music so I've decided to name the blend "Foggy Mountain." Thanks!

    Help Me Name My New Blend

    I've been experimenting with simple blends lately, and I've finally hit on a keeper. 8 ounces C&D Dark Fired Kentucky, 2 Ounces C&D Granulated Perique and 1 Ounce Lane BCA It gives me a rich, smoky, cool-burning, high(ish) nicotine experience. The BCA seems to help accentuate the "stewed fruit"...

    My Sense of Taste is Not What I Thought it Was...

    The advantage to not having a "Princess and the Pea" level of sensory processing is that I tend to not agonize over choices. I've found very few blends that I actually dislike, and those generally only because of tongue bite rather than taste. (I'm looking at you, Nightcap. You taste so good...

    My Sense of Taste is Not What I Thought it Was...

    I'm on a C&D kick, and have four blends currently open. I'm alternating between Haunted Bookshop, Dark Fired Kentucky, Star of the East and Epiphany. Last Friday I got to work and lit up a pipe I had packed that morning and couldn't remember what I'd packed. I smoked and thought and ciphered. I...

    Alabama Pipe Smokers

    Cosmic, Yeah, I'm not really far at all. I've even bought a new motorcycle I'm trying to put some miles on, so I that would be a good excuse. My problem is that I'm a widowed father of an eight-year-old, and I spend most of my non-working time with him. I know I need to get out more, but I've...

    C & D Dark Fired Kentucky vs. HH Old Dark Fired

    Cosmic, Yeah, I think I'm missing the sweetness of ODF. I'll order more of that and compare them side by side. Kanse, Thanks! That's a lot of recommendations. Of all of them, Blackhouse is the only one I've smoked, but I liked it a lot. I'll try some of the others.

    C & D Dark Fired Kentucky vs. HH Old Dark Fired

    HH Old Dark Fired has been one of my two "go to" tobaccos for a while now, but I foolishly let myself run out. When I re-ordered, there was a sale on, so I bought C&D Dark Fired Kentucky instead. I really like it, but I can't do a direct comparison, since I ran out of the other. Not that it...

    Alabama Pipe Smokers

    I'm in north Alabama, and only rarely get down to the Birmingham area, but I definitely plan to hit one of your meetings eventually. Thanks!
