How much do you cellar?
It looks like the golden milk cow has run dry. Probably just as well as I figure I have enough tobacco, pipes, cleaners, etc. to last up to 10 years. Only thing is I'll probably have to visit the dollar store and buy some more lighters in a year or two... Oh no! For these couple of years I've...- Searock Fan

How much do you cellar?
This guy I've mentioned before, who I've gotten a lot of tobacco from over the last couple of years, has decided to quit pipe smoking. Seems his asthma has gotten so bad the doc told him to quit. So, this morning I got a call that went something like this: "I quit! Want to buy everything I...- Searock Fan

Castello Sea Rock
I don't know much about it, but I believe they quit using the diamond logo quite a while back. There may not even be anyone who knows how to do it. Back in 1965 I broke a Castello stem with the diamond. My local pipe shop sent it to Castello for repair and it came back with a white bar. That...- Searock Fan

Castello Sea Rock
For not much more you could probably get a "real" diamond put in the stem. I'm sure that would make it smoke much better.... puffy- Searock Fan

Corn Cobs - what’s the skinny?
I figured out the gurgling problem. It's not the fact that it's a cob, rather it's a stem problem. First the draft hole where the smoke enters the stem is much too small and second the length of the stem creates a problem. Moisture is condensing in the stem because of the tight entry and the...- Searock Fan

Castello Sea Rock
Size is a factor, but actually the K's are for Castello to tell the dealer the cost of that particular pipe within the type of finish. puffy- Searock Fan

Castello Sea Rock
Back when they first imported Castello to the U.S. there was already a pipe brand cqlled "White Bar" that had a logo just like the Castello bar. The "diamond" was created for imports to avoid any conflict. puffy- Searock Fan

Things I Found Thrifting
hahau Garage sales suck right after Thanksgiving. First there are not very many and second the ones there are contain almost nothing but junk. Didn't have much luck today, unless you call buying a pair of new cold weather gloves, 2 bottles of Colgate mouth wash and a box of 10 new light...- Searock Fan

Corn Cobs - what’s the skinny?
I checked and the bowl/draft hole are right so I don't think there is any fill in the bottom. I can't figure it out, but it's no big deal. I still like to smoke it so I'll just ignore an occasional gurgle. puffy- Searock Fan

BRUTTI SPORCHI e CATTIVI or UGLY, DIRTY AND BAD or DOWN AND DIRTY. No matter which name it goes by this is one hilarious movie. It's in Italian with sub-titles, but don't let that scare you off. It's worth it...- Searock Fan

Corn Cobs - what’s the skinny?
Hey, cob experts! I recently bought a couple of cobs at a garage sale. One is kind of small and haven't smoked it but a couple of times... It's ok. The other is a large MM churchwarded. I smoked it quite a few times and it smokes well, with a good flavor. The thing is, it also tends to...- Searock Fan

What Are You Listening To - November 2025
What am I listening too? Repost from about 3 years ago. I listen to my jazz while the wife is asleep late at night. I do it in my smoking room while puffing my pipe. So as not to wake her I use a headphone rig. I'm an old time audiophile so I want great sound quality. Here's what I've put...- Searock Fan
