    RIP Wayne Kramer of the MC5

    Brother Wayne Kramer, guitarist for the MC5, passed away from pancreatic cancer at 75. The MC5 were a garage, proto-punk band from Detroit. A "brother" band to [Iggy and the] Stooges, the MC5 were loud and energetic with a sound that was meant to hear live. Taking elements of blues and...

    Pipe Gap Question (Not Peterson)

    Peterson deluxe system pipes are known for the "gap", where part of the tenon is exposed to allow for wear over time. An article about the gap with photos can be found here: https://petersonpipenotes.org/closing-the-gap-the-mythos-of-petersons-space-fitting-system-stem/ The look is...

    Meatloaf

    When ground beef goes on sale, I make one of a few meals meatloaf being the main dish. However, I haven't settled on how to sauce the loaf. Sometimes, I make a glaze (ketchup with brown sugar - picture below) or spice it up with a sweet and spicy sauce (raspberry jam with Chipotle or...

    Pipe Stands for Large and Small Pipes

    I've been slowly culling the herd of pipes by using restraint. I'm failing horribly. However, I am working on getting rid of pipes that don't often get reached for or lack sentimental value. Interesting to me, the pipes I'm keeping fall into 3 size groups of small, medium, and large. This...

    WTT for Poker (10/30/23)

    Do you have a Poker sitting around, gathering dust? I've been eyeing the poker shape for awhile and am hoping to trade one of my pipes in exchange to avoid buyer remorse. I'm not particular about the Poker brand and figure a Charles Towne Cobbler would be a fair trade for either a Missouri...

    Opening the Draw - Drill Bit Size

    I prefer an open draw. For example, Missouri Meerschaum without filters provide my favorite draw. While I am slowly culling the heard of pipes (two down, several to go), there is at least one I'd really like to save in the discard pile. However, the draw is so tight that smoking it is not...

    Jarring Bulk Tobacco Party - A Basic Primer

    I had a bulk tobacco jarring party last night, taking many bulk blends and placing them in mason jars for long term storage. The scarry stories post by @shanez and company kept me entertained (link below for reference). Smoking different samples in a few pipes while enjoying a Black Tooth Grin...

    Tobacco Shredder Needed?

    Any home growers in the market for a cast iron tobacco shredder/grinder? There's one listed in a Facebook group if you're interested. Note, I know virtually nothing about growing or processing tobacco, let alone the equipment needed, but it seems somewhat useful.

    French Press Coffee Maker

    I recently inquired about a cheap coffee grinder and am about to pull the trigger in either a Mr. Coffee or Cuisinart (before upgrading if my lazy ass likes the grind). A few comments intrigued me on the French press concept (for weekend enjoyment, since my coffee pot has a timer that ensures I...

    Newish Apple Tobacco - Sutliff's Candy Apple

    Looks like Sutliff just released a new Halloween bulk blend called Candy Apple (available at TP). Perhaps it was available last year since it's listed as a "2022 model" (whatever that means). Virginia and black Cavendish ribbon cut topped with apple and a little sugar for sweetness. Not my...

    Coffee Grinder

    I'm a simpleton when it comes to coffee. It's really just a vessel for caffeine and I'm a caffeine junkie. Like my women, I don't discriminate. Cold, thick, and bitter is fine by me. Normally, I buy pre-ground coffee. Chock Full of Nuts comes in a large tin canister, is cheaper, doesn't need...
