    Question about a long gone tobacco

    The whole no tobacco in the big house started with California from the way it was explained to me. It saved the state millions in health care costs for the prisoners. But, they still find tobacco or have it dropped off somewhere. I found a large drop one summer after a co-worker had a gentleman...

    Question about a long gone tobacco

    Officially, no they can't. Not allowed to purchase tobacco through the commissary or allow family room send it in. I know most of us that run the crews will look the other way if they want to pick up butts and reroll them in Bible pages. Yes, Bible pages.

    Question about a long gone tobacco

    Thanks Woodsroad. No, I wasn't in the big house. But, I run an inmate work crew. But, you are right, no smoking in the big house.

    Question about a long gone tobacco

    Been away for a while, life happens, but was going through some of my jars and noticed I was out of one. But, looking around I can't find it online anymore. Anyone have any info on Jack Lee Blends and their Halflings Leaf? I've seen Hobbits Weed is being reproduced, was curious to see if...

    So, What Pipe Shape Sings to You?

    Love the look and shape of a poker. Although, the closest I own to one is a couple cobs. One day I'll find the one for me. Also like the lines of a churchwarden.

    Murder Live On Facebook

    I will give my two cents worth about facebook. I belong to a couple groups there to get ideas about things such as woodworking. As a woodworker, I am always looking for new ideas and have found a couple pages on that site worth following for inspiration. But, I agree, for the most part, it is...

    Types of Wood for Pipe Making?

    Waiting on a piece of apricot wood to dry. Figured it's a fruit wood and can be used to smoke food, so why not smoke tobacco?

    What Is Everyone Drinking Tonight?

    Had a glass of Bombay Sapphire over ice, followed by a White Russian. Been a while since I had a White Russian and never tried gin on the rocks, but I think I could get to enjoy it.

    Hat Etiquette for Men

    I don't consider ball caps as real hats. I am required to wear one daily for work so I don't remove it in the office or in the vehicle. Outside work, the hat is removed as soon as I get home. When out and about on weekends, if I am wearing a nicer hat, it will be removed in peoples' homes, at...

    Types of Wood for Pipe Making?

    Cherry and pear are fairly popular offerings in lower end pipes. I have a Mr. Brog nosewarmer that is pear and it smokes quite well. There are several types of ebony available. Gaboon is the blackest. Macasar has some brown streaks and Black and White is as the name says, black with almost...

    Been absent for a long while

    Nice, Hawke! The pipe is a great hobby. I'd say habit, but we all collect way too many of them for a habit. And, I still have yet to try Penzance. My biggest problem here is no local B&M tobacco shop. Closest is Vegas and Reno. Although, being close to Area 51, the aliens may have a hook...

    Been absent for a long while

    I haven't checked in for a couple years. In my absence, I have totaled a Kawasaki, had 22 screws in my right arm from the accident, acquired a somewhat hard to find Harley XR1200, and became. Wildland firefighter for the state of Nevada. I took a brief hiatus from the pipe, but, with...

    What's Your Favourite Cherry Blend

    Just ordered a couple ounces of Hobbit's Weed to try it. Figure I have the Middle Earth series why not some Hobbit's Weed? Also grabbed some Nosferatu while shopping at Tewksbury online.
