    Ropes and Twists

    I bought the smallest amount of rope tobacco to try it. I loaded my smallest pipe with this turd, Yes, it looks like it came out of the back end of a dog. I had a terrible time getting this to light. Eventually, I got the pipe smoking. That was the most horrible taste I have ever experienced...

    What Happened To Lima Beans?

    Whenever I feel anemic, I ask my wife to make up a batch of Liver and Lima Bean stir fry. This super charges my iron levels. No one else in the family will touch this dish. But I like it. Nothing else super charges my iron levels.

    Grandma's Car "Hercules"

    My first car was a 76 Malibu. A relative sold it to me, probably as partly a gift, for $500'ish. My wife was very glad, when I sold it, (perhaps, this was the car I just drove to the junk yard.

    How Many Times a Day can You Smoke a Pipe

    I used to smoke one bowl a day. But now, I have to cut back. I still enjoy tobacco, but it makes me woozy.

    Amazon DIY Briar Block- Worth It?

    What you posted is smokable now. Granted, it is fairly odd looking., Briar is VERY hard. I suggest that you get a 1x30" belt sander. This will also require a collection of sanding belts of various grits. You can get these items at Harbor Freight. Be careful. You are likely to apply too much...

    Who is Going to the Chicago Pipe Show?

    Don't forget that this is one of the few events that you can wear a fishing vest. Seriously! It has 10+ pockets of all sizes. Your wife won't want to be seen with a man wearing a fishing vest, so you will be TOTALLY UNSUPERVISED!

    Are You a Pipe Smoker or a Pipe Collector?

    Over the last 10 (?) years, I have acquired 43 pipes. I have a pattern of buying a pipe each year, from a few carvers, since I like their work. Perhaps, I will sell some of my pipes that don't have value to me.

    With Whom are You Smoking?

    Outside of my pipe club or pipe show, I am exclusively by myself, when I smoke. My woodworking shop is full of tools and wood. There is a 3 foot path through the tools. OK, my wife has all her gardening tools, in the very front of the garage, so she doesn't have to get into the smelly area.

    Man Cave Finally Complete

    My man cave is my detached garage. Actually, it can't fit a car, even when we bought the house. One of my friends that helped us move stated that he felt bad for us. Thanks for the encouragement. Yes, he was a jerk. Anyway, I was getting very nice quarterly bonuses. I would come home and tell my...
