Tobacco pouches/ leather bags why do they exist?
I have three pouches still, had several more over the years, though nowadays they don't see much use. In the 70s a roll up leather pouch lived in the hip pocket of my jeans so I could fill my pipe whenever I desired. The box type pouches do not keep the tobacco very fresh though they are easy...- lraisch

What was your first blend and is it part of your current rotation?

Damned Commies Complaining About Turkey.
We generally get heritage breeds raised by my daughter or from a local farm for Thanksgiving. She gave up raising her own after bird flu hit her flocks. The turkeys were already gone by that time, but the state culled all of her ducks and geese. Sadly, I just found out she and her husband came...- lraisch

Damned Commies Complaining About Turkey.
How is it that someone who prefers a vegetarian or vegan option can conclude that "no one likes turkey?" Do they really think that their opinion is universally shared and we're all just kidding ourselves that we enjoy a turkey dinner and leftovers for days afterwards?- lraisch

I was always told, "if your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough." And I have the pecks to prove it! Nasty birds. Hearth and Haven Farm, Monroe Washington 2021- lraisch

Alice Brock of Alice's Restaurant Fame Dies at Age 83.
I remember feeling privileged to hear the song on late night radio in the 60s. Can't say I thought much of the movie though.- lraisch

The Benefits of Having Children
My wife and I talked about having kids even when we were just dating. "What will we do if I get pregnant?", she would ask and I would reply "Have a baby" which seemed to be reassuring. Neither of us were eager to have kids, but we thought it would be nice to share the family traditions and joys...- lraisch

Opinions on the Prince Shape
IMHO the "Prince" is the most elegant pipe shape. Bowls do tend to be a bit small and for me a smoke in one is probably good for about 45 minutes as opposed to an hour or more in some other shapes. I don't understand the idea of a straight "Prince" as the slight curve of the stem is what... -

Italian pipe aficionado?
The logo is unfamiliar to me. "Who Made That Pipe" lists three "Manhattan" pipes, one from "Import House" meerschaum pipes USA and the other two are listed as being from England. It's possible it was made for a dealer who chose that name, but as for the Italian origin I have not a clue.- lraisch

Tea and a Pipe
I've always found Sleepy Time to have a bit of an anise flavor as well as the chamomile, so perhaps a cube cut Burley?- lraisch

Questions on Gepetto Stem Fit.
I will second the notion that the inability to pass a pipe cleaner is not a big thing and the drilling of the air way looks fine. It does appear that the draw through the mouthpiece is quite restricted, and I would consider sending it to a pipe repair service to be opened or make a new bit for...
