    Reviewing The Basics

    While we usually only read about some new pipe smokers having problems figuring out the basics, from what I’ve seen on some other forums, experienced pipe smokers do have issues too. And I’m sure there are a lot of veteran pipers who have never quite mastered the basics. If that wasn’t a cut and...

    Update From Missouri Meerschaum

    I talked with Phil, the general manager of Missouri Meerschaum today when I called in another order for more Pipe Chat 2012 Cobs. While he said the Bulldog and other probable new models might be delayed due to not enough larger sized cobs, he said that this coming crop should solve that problem...

    Frank Discharged From Nursing Home

    My land line is out, and might have been for a while, since I don't get many calls. So if Frank tried calling me, I would never have known. When I found out my phone line was dead, I tried calling Frank yesterday, but he was having lunch. I called back today, and was told he had been Discharged...

    Wonderful News From Frank

    Frank called me this afternoon, in the best mood he’s been in in over four month. He wanted to have me tell everyone that he walked for the first time since he was hospitalized in early October. He without extreme back pain, and walked 28 feet. He expects, if there are no setbacks, to go home by...

    About The BasketBrawl

    I’ve been a Xavier Musketeer fanatic for over sixty years, seeing my first game when I was just four years old. I was a season ticket holder for probably twenty-five years, but had to stop going some fifteen years ago since I have lots of trouble walking any distance. So it would be easy for me...

    Presenting The Morgan Nosewarmer Cob

    [b]Phil just sent me pictures of the new Morgan Nosewarmer Cob that MM will soon be offering for sale. The pipe has a reduced size Diplomat bowl, a short amber bit, and an overall length of about 4 1/2 inches. The price will be $7.59. I've been smoking the one Phil sent me, and although I don't...

    Don’t Try To Tease Me

    I belong to roughly a dozen forums of all sorts, and most of them have the same problem, caused by members who try to be either clever or cute. I’m talking about Teaser Titles for threads they begin. Some do try to be cute, other try for clever, but I see them all as goofy at beast and dumb at...

    Update On Frank/fhb2532

    I finally was able to talk with Frank this afternoon, and he seems to slowly be getting better, but he still has a way to go before he’s back home. He said in the past few days his lower back pain has eased some, but that he is still in pain. He said his doctors have told him he has some serious...

    Exciting News About MM Cobs

    I spoke with Phil, the GM of Missouri Meerschaum today, and found out that this year’s harvest will start next week. And the harvest looks to be a very good one, with a focus on the larger sized cobs needed for the majority of models. If the crop turns out as good as expected, the reintroduction...

    Your Most Unusual Pipe

    Any of us who have been pipe smokers for a while probably have a varied collection. But what would you say is the most unusual pipe you’ve ever had? And you define what is meant by unusual. Now, it’s not enough to identify that one pipe, but please tell us why it’s unusual. For me it’s a Ropp...

    A DGT Method That Works

    I hear a lot of complaints about the Delayed Gratification Technique, aka DGT. I DGT probably 90% of everything I smoke, and found that for me, the key is dryness before setting the pipe aside. When a blend is at the proper dryness, regardless of type of blend, it can be DGTd. The reason being...

    The Latest News From Missouri Meerschaum

    I was able to talk with a very busy Phil this morning, and have more information for those of us who enjoy our cobs. Phil said this year’s crop looks promising, and the early ears he has seen are larger than average. Harvesting could begin as early as mid-September, and continue through the end...

    Thank You bootlegbonvivant

    When bootlegbonvivant decided to order a Freehand cob, he asked if I’d like a cob that he didn’t think he would ever smoke. Of course I said yes. Now, one unsmoked Washington cob might not seem like much of a gift to most anyone else, but keep in mind I have loads of cobs but only two briars...

    The Latest News From MM

    I talked with Phil, the general manager, again today, and the best news is that their corn crop has been spared from the floods in Missouri so far. Their plans for bringing back the bulldog, and several new models will depend on how good a harvest they have this year. If they are able to get...

    John Patton Blend Poll

    I've found a B&M that is expanding to the Internet, and they plan to offer some of my blends for sale. With 36 blends to choose from, they need help deciding which one to make available first. If you'd like a voice in which of my blends will be reintroduced, you can register and vote in the poll...
