    Best Joke I've Heard All Year

    Two Drunks visit a brothel just before closing after a long night out on town of hard drinking. The Madam takes one look at the two drunks, rolls her eyes, and tells the girls: "Take their money and get two Inflatable Dolls... those two Rummy's are so plastered they won't even know the...

    Granger by Lane

    @Briar Lee - That was one of the most cogent, eloquent, and enjoyable reviews to read. Well done, Sir! And, I cannot wait unit our resident Granger zealot and excitable friend - @Grangerous - reads your descriptive phrase: "...There’s a slight topping of a Play Dough essence..." ; :ROFLMAO...

    Presbyterian

    Presby is excellent - imho - and, by my palate EXTREMELY light on the Latakia. I think of it as Dunhill's Durbar jr. And, since Durbar is a thing of the past :::insert a huge sad sigh here:::, Presby is the next nearest smoking experience to Durbar you are likely to find, in my personal smoking...

    1915 Prince Albert and Velvet Advertisements

    "... Here’s another geezer selling Prince Albert..." - Hey now! I resemble that statement! :LOL: - Sherm Natman

    Is This a Good Tray for Mixing Tobaccos?

    I would steer you away from any sort of tray. Get yourself a decent - 12" Diameter - sized Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl. You want to get both hands in there and mix freely and casually, without tabak going all over the place. This will help to ensure even dispersion of all the ingredients in...

    Lots of Smokes in a can of Prince Albert

    It's like I've been trying to tell you boys all along: "Prince Albert IS the National Joy Smoke!!"; and, these ads document the fact. puffy - Sherm Natman

    Funky Vintage Syroco Pipe Rest

    You know what also made my laugh, is that the curvature to hold the bowl in place, reminded me of my friend from High School dad's Lazy-Boy recliner... which had the same permanent butt-depression in it - even when his dad wasn't at home - just like the pipe rest :ROFLMAO: - Sherm

    Funky Vintage Syroco Pipe Rest

    Which one @bootlegpipes , the chair, the butler, or the horse with dogs? - Sherm

    Funky Vintage Syroco Pipe Rest

    Syroco made all manor of decorative "Stuff" - like 3D wall scuptures, candle holders, trinket shelves, etc - for the home out of resin. IIRC, it was sold at in-home presentations like a Tupperware Party. Very 60s/70s. - Sherm Natman

    Funky Vintage Syroco Pipe Rest

    I love the themes: Dogs, Horses, Lounging about, being waited on... I wonder if I'll find a sculpted pipe rest of a buxom blonde holding a tray of beer... might as well complete the picture of a perfect Dad World! :ROFLMAO: Lots of Nautical and Sea Captains too, for those of us who are still...

    Funky Vintage Syroco Pipe Rest

    Nah... I am already overloaded with racks, stands, and rests. It turns out that Syroco made tons of different funky sculpted pipe stands and rests. I am looking over a bunch of them now, I kind of like the Race Horse themed ones. Definitely funky-cool stuff. Who knew! 🤷‍♂️ - Sherm Natman I...

    Funky Vintage Syroco Pipe Rest

    Came across this funky vintage pipe rest on eBay today. Of course, I was on my laptop while smoking a pipe in my recliner at the time, so I had to chuckle at the irony. I didn't bid on it; but, I thought I'd share the pics here. - Sherm Natman

    Blends Similar to Nightcap but Without Perique?

    Can't smoke Perique... That's a bummer, Brother. I feel for you. I love Perique, so your specific plight really hit me where I live. Hoping you can find what you are looking for. - Sherm Natman

    'New' Vintage Dr. Grabow Pipes

    I have only one Grabow in my collection; and, it's the smooth, bent-stem Omega. I have to say this little "Drug Store Pipe" is like a beloved and trusted old friend. It's small, light, and the fake P-Lip bit let's it hang naturally off my bottom teeth with only the lightest of clench to keep it...

    Which Are the Most Incenselike Blends? ⚗️⛪🪔🥢💭

    Sadly, long-gone was my favorite "Insensy" tabak, which was Dunhill's Durbar. I absolutely cherish the last tin that I have of it; and, only treat myself to one bowl about every 3 months; but, eventually, it will be gone. I could never fathom why Peterson never brought this blend back, when...

    US Pipe Tobacco Companies ?

    Precisely. As a formerly-avid Zappa fan going back to the mid-70s, I have to say ☝️THIS is possibly the most succinct and spot-on analysis and review of Zappa's existence and back-catalog of material I have ever read; as it relates to the Masses-at-Large. For those who didn't go through the...

    Brylon?

    "Toy Pipes", that's a pretty accurate description; but, not so much like a Soap Bubble Pipe - more like a movie prop, in that while functional and clean-up super easy, they feel "fake" - to me, anyway. I have an 8 panel Yello Bole made of Bryon which I love the design of - size, shape, weight...

    Edward G Robinson .. What Do I Do Now?

    What would be a fair price for a sealed 12oz tub? Perhaps I might consider letting some of my cellared EGR go. - Sherm Natman

    The Most Disappointing Tobacco

    And that "member" would likely be @Grangerous, because it usually is! :LOL:

    The Most Disappointing Tobacco

    For me, nothing will ever match the gut-wrenching and olfactory-obliterating experience of the time I opened a tin of D&R's London Dock. To each his own; but, I will never forget the overwhelming pungent chemical Cherry odor of Pink Urinal Cake suddenly filling the room upon opening that...
