    Do You Suffer From CFA?

    Freud did say that sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Don't desire to fondle my pipes but do admit I like to fondle my pipes. :)

    Show Off Your Petersons Here!

    Ok, I caved. The urge to buy my first pipe of the year kept growing til I hit the buy button tonight.:) Bought myself a rusticated Baskerville which I've thought of buying for a couple of years. Mine was an estate version for $28 off new. For those unfamiliar with the model, it looked like this...

    Deluxe System or Spigot? Help me Decide!

    Personally, don't see much difference between my deluxe systems and my spigots, 1 of which is a system spigot.

    A Stark Warning

    On occasion while smoking some crud might get sucked up into the stem prior to when I intend to stop smoking the pipe. Essential then to pull out stem to push pipe cleaner through the bit from the tenon side to clear it. Stick it back on an resume smoking. No problem. Do have a pipe or 2 that...

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

    That amount of time to smoke a bowl in a clay would be normal for me and not constitute a "fast smoke." Clay bowls are just too small.

    Very nice. My favorite of my collection is a bent house pipe. Not one typically to buy mutiples of the same pipe, but would be tempted by a blasted house pipe to go with my rusticated one.

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

    They do indeed. Only lately have they been showing up at the feeder this year.

    Hello from Philippines

    Welcome. 1 of my great uncles relocated to Mindanao following WWI.

    Attack of the (Pipe) Clones Episode 3

    Lovely pipe. Isn't that an acorn or pear shape?

    Sandblast Quality of Peterson PSB, Ashton LX, and Kai Nielsen Artisan

    The blast on my regular, old Squire looks pretty "PSB"-y.

    Art Deco Ashtray Stand Restoration Project

    Great job. I have a floor-standing metal ashtray with a large, amber colored cut-glass ash tray that I always use when smoking a pipe. Bought it from a Goodwill store many years ago for $5. Had gotten all my wood pipe racks from second-hand stores years ago. Haven't seen much smoking-related...

    Peterson "Shannon Air System" Drops Tomorrow

    If true, that would be a big nope for me. Ugliest looking Petes I've ever seen.;)

    Sipping your Tobacco?

    That describes my approach pretty well. I don't try for any "slow smoke contest."

    Studies on Pipe and Cigar smokers - Inconsistent!?

    Mark Twain famously said that there are lies, damned lies, and statistics. :LOL: Never smoked cigarettes but have smoked pipes for almost 50 years and smoked them often. Thus far, no notable health effects Kind of reminds me of my great aunt who, when she was 91, said she just gave up cigarettes...

    TAD Acquisitions 2024

    The HB came in today. So, put away the latakia blend for the foreseeable future and fired up the HB. It's no OJK, but it is a serviceable burley-perique blend and an adequate OJK substitute as the perique in it is more notable than I recalled.

    TAD Acquisitions 2024

    Been smoking a latakia mixture the last few months due only to having my every 6 months desire for it combined with recent chronic non-stocking of my favorite burley blend, OJK. As expected, my desire for latakia is about to peeter out and still no OJK in stock. So wanting a burley blend, picked...

    Shamrocks & Shenanigans 2024

    Got a bit of the Irish in our tree as my dad's line spent some 150 years in county Antrim prior to heading to North America. Can also relate to the bagpipe part as well as we'd been living in Scotland before Antrim.

    Alligator

    Had it as well as frog legs, escargot, and conch. Only 1 I didn't care for was conch as it was too tough. Also love Rocky Mountain oysters.:LOL:

    Shamrocks & Shenanigans 2024

    I can only guess that the association of bagpipes or kilts with Ireland may be due to the influence of Ulster Scots-the formerly Scottish folks that immigrated to what is now Northern Ireland some 350 years ago. The origin if St. Patrick's Day celebrations in the US came at the hands of several...

    30 Minutes or it's Free

    We seldom order pizza. Recently ordered from our local Pizza Hut who said it would be there in 45 minutes. An hour and a half later, no pizza. I was fuming and decided I'd drive the whole 10 blocks there and demand $ back. Just as I was about to head out the back door to do that, they showed up...
