    Birthday Haul 2024

    It’s that time of year again. Another year older and time to share this year’s selection of birthday pipes. I’m going to do something of a boomerang approach and share these in an A, B, C, B, A themed order. First up is a smooth Comoy’s 804 Extraordinaire Bent Billiard from the 1930s. It has...

    What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2024

    Happy New Year! It’s late, and a little too cold to smoke a proper stick right now, but to get this year’s thread going, I’m having an Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur Miniature to start off 2024.

    Bernhard Bloch Tobacco Jar

    As a caricaturist, I’m thrilled to have this Bernhard Bloch tobacco jar, which called to me more than most of his jars (with the notable exception of his Sou’easter Skull jar, which I’m still on the hunt for)—I just love this cartoony, expressive face.

    What Are You Drinking? July 2023

    The Glenturret 27 Year Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Amazing pear notes. Caramel in the front, fruit in the middle. So tasty.

    Novelist Martin Amis Has Died

    I’ve just learned that one of my favourite authors, Martin Amis, has died of esophageal cancer, at age 73. I’m truly bummed to learn this. We weren’t quite friends, but very good acquaintances through my collecting his work in-depth for over thirty years (I have one of the largest in-depth...

    What Are You Drinking? May 2023

    I see people reviving threads from last year to post current drinks, so I thought I’d get us up to date. I’m having Tetley Duchess Balmoral with Half and Half while I catch up on some forum reading. I’ve been enjoying this blend the last year or two. It sort of reminds me of the milk left in...

    Meet at Blatter & Blatter on May 13th, 2023 in Montreal?

    Susan, Wasabi, and I are driving up to Montreal on Friday, May 12th, 2023 to celebrate Susan’s daughter’s 30th birthday. I was wondering if some forum members in the area would like to meet at Blatter & Blatter on Saturday, May 13th. I can take the Metro there. Perhaps, we can share a smoke...

    My Very Special 60th Birthday Pipe by Savinelli

    In my Birthday Haul 2023* thread, I shared some pics of two birth year Dunhills and a pipe from the collection of the late pipe maker, Thomas Cristiano, that was made from a gnarled briar root that retained most of its original organic form; the Dunhills are both sixty years old this year and...

    Birthday Haul 2023

    I’ll start this off with three pipes I acquired with the plan of smoking them today, on my birthday. In the Chinese Zodiac, it’s a Golden Rabbit year (there are twelve animals in the cycle). At 11:27 a.m. this morning I started my sixth cycle. The first is a birth year Dunhill Shell Briar...

    What Are You Drinking? February 2023

    Watching UFC Fight Night. Having the latest Flaviar subscription delivery, Balcones Lineage Texas Single Malt Whisky Pot Distilled, 47% ABV. It has vanilla on the nose, and flat Dr. Pepper. The Dr. Pepper comes across in the taste, too, because of the cherry. Very smooth. Interesting.

    February 2023: Will Cosmic see his shadow?

    Are we going to get six more weeks of Winter? Knowing Michael's *ahem* love of groundhogs, it had to be done.
