The Simplistic Luxury of Shag Tobacco - An Essay: Informative Yet Non-Combative, with Tidings of Comfort and Joy.
Though a gentleman refrains to comment unless most un-handsomely provoked, which is certainly not the case in this instance, it is always customary to salute one's allies. You, sir, have hit the nail upon the head. Allow me to raise a glass to you, and give a slight nod of the head in your...- georgebmcclelland

The Simplistic Luxury of Shag Tobacco - An Essay: Informative Yet Non-Combative, with Tidings of Comfort and Joy.
EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) Many of ye now stood before me, within these hallowed halls, have often posed inquiries, most valid, with regard to the choices of modern-day smoking tobaccos most likely to bring about that oh, so lovely and close-to-heaven state of serenity...- georgebmcclelland

A Year On The High Seas

How to Prevent Nausea While Smoking?
Are you taking time between puffs/sips? If you are already smoking slowly, this may not help, but if you are smoking too quickly it could be cutting short your oxygen intake and making the nausea worse for you.- georgebmcclelland

*** What Are You Smoking?*** (January 2019)
A straight MM Legend full of Fillmore by G. L. Pease is my morning pipe, with black coffee. Recently I've started cleaning and restoring all my briars back to their full glory, waiting 'til I get them all done before I start any of them back into the rotation in order to motivate myself to get...- georgebmcclelland

Lots of Snow Forecast Today!
We also got the slush, here, along the coast of New England. Snow throughout the night, then icy rain and thunder, and now slush and rain throughout the morning and back to 35 degrees Fahrenheit. Maybe next time, snow gods...- georgebmcclelland

Esoterica
I guess I'll admit that, in my initial posts on this thread, my language was quite ungentlemanly and regrettable. I'll apologize for that and, though I stand by my opinions, I now feel that perhaps I should have just kept some of those thoughts to myself. I have no stake in the re-sale market...- georgebmcclelland

Chicken Chaseing time.
Interesting trivia: Some roots of the tradition of coffee with chicory can be traced back to the American Civil War. When the South was blockaded by the United States Navy, imported goods (like coffee) became an ever-dwindling (and eventually non-existent) and very expensive luxury provided only...- georgebmcclelland

A Latakia Blend for Latakia Haters?
Billy Budd Blonde is an amazing blend, as well. It's like the morning version of Billy Budd. Basically the Latakia is replaced with Perique. Just like the original, it can be rough around the edges when smoked to quickly, but a slow cadence really opens up the flavor. Blonde is one of the most...- georgebmcclelland

Oxidized Stem
Yeah, I'm also on the lookout for the perfect logo restoration product for the stems I did before I got this stuff. I've been thinking about trying Rub N Buff, as I've seen it used on Rebornpipes with some success. Pretty much everything I know about restoring is lifted straight from...- georgebmcclelland

A Latakia Blend for Latakia Haters?
Some Billy Budd by Cornell & Diehl with about 6 months age on it is sublime. I like Latakia, but it's not my old stand by. I smoke mainly VAs, VA/Pers, Kentuckys, and everything in that area all day, and in the evening time I'll enjoy the heck out of a heavy Latakia blend, but Billy Budd is...- georgebmcclelland

Oxidized Stem
For heavy oxidation, the best and safest bet is Before and After Restoration Deoxidizer. It's magic at removing the oxidation, and it's very gentle on the stem, in fact I would say the stem comes out completely rejuvenated. A lot of the techniques that are good at removing oxidation are not very...- georgebmcclelland

Show Us Your Centenarians
Some truly beautiful, and incredibly enviable, pipes. Threads like this always serve to remind me to get a digital camera so I can post some photos of my relatively small collection. Also reminds me that I haven't yet gone through and dated all of them, and for some of them it may be impossible...- georgebmcclelland
