Won a Moretti
Just won on ebay my second Moretti. My wife got it for me for our 17th anniversary present. She would not agree but I think it is far more attractive than the gold pin with pearl I got her. -

Action Alerts
I just came across the "Action Alerts" menu on the lower left side of the home page at this site. I hope everyone here watches it as we do not need more government regulations of this business--or any other business IMO. The links there take you to a great site with more info and an app that...- tomdavis

Piper was born
My daughter had her first child last night and named her Piper. When she told me that would be her name some months ago I smiled and commented that I appreciated her naming the child after me. I am sure she had not thought about that as I had to explain that pipe smokers are sometimes referred...- tomdavis

Looking for a low nic, Lat blend
I am looking for a low nic, latakia blend that is not heavy on the latakia. I use to think the latakia gave me headaches and have come to realize that nicotine is the culprit--or so I now think.

Historic Tobaccos

Both blends, so they say, contain elements of blends used in the past. I have read that we likely would not...- tomdavis

Re-purposed things as tamps
Years ago I made a tamp from the tapered end of a stainless steel Hilti concrete insert bolt. Cut off the threads, ground a nice edge, drilled a hole and looped through a leather thong. Still rides in my console and used regularly. What made me think of this topic was yesterday when looking in...- tomdavis

Reparing stain loss
Stupidly I put a plastic container of Ronson lighter fluid in my console to have when the lighter ran out. The dumb part was that it slowly leaked and when I put a pipe in there--a day later--the stain faded on the side that was lying on the felt-like covering. Now I have a Peterson Sherlock...- tomdavis
