    Do You Reuse Mason Jars?

    I do the same.

    Lost Package?

    I have had many issues with packages, especially those touched by the USPS. They have this newish deal, where UPS carries the package to the local post office and the USPS delivers it to the final destination. The first thing to do is to use the tracking number to find out who has the package...

    Moving Down the Road

    It only took three days, but we have arrived in Marietta. Unfortunately, over-zealous packers / movers have successfully hidden my pipes, tobacco, and meds and stuffed them into a storage unit. Have ordered an emergency replacement pipe and a few tins to hold me over from SC.

    Fall and Pipes: Made for Each Other

    Here's this weeks weather forecast: I think Fall is forecast for Wednesday afternoon, the day after Thanksgiving. I'm looking forward to it!

    Pipe Hobby Waxing and Waning

    I've smoked the pipe, off and on, since 1968. I smoked a lot in the Navy, 'cause there wasn't much else to do. I smoked a lot in school when I was studying, because it gave me a break once in a while. I did not smoke as much at work, first because it was sort of a hassle, later because it was...

    Puff n' Stuff Broke My Heart

    The elders among you will remember the same thing happened at gasoline stations back in the '70s. Used to be, you would pull into the station and a guy would run out, ask you what you needed, fill 'er up! He would fill the gas tank, check the tires, check the oil, and wash the windshield --...

    Holding a Pipe in Your Mouth

    I do the same thing. No marks on any of my stems, and a nice, cushioned grip...

    Being Petersonised

    I own about 40 pipes, all but two are Peterson. As an engineer, I appreciate the science behind the "system" pipes. I even understand most of it. I like the pub pipes, deluxe system, plain old system, and the Sherlock Holmes series'. One thing about the Pete system pipes -- you must keep them...

    Inhalation

    One of the many reasons I smoke a pipe is because I had to quit cigs. I get the nic through my mucous membranes, not my lungs. I have no urge to inhale.

    Moving Down the Road

    San Antonio, Home of the Alamo, Largest City in Northern Mexico, Gateway to the Midwest (from the south). They say Phoenix is hotter, but it's a dry heat. We don't have any dry heat here; it's just hot. We don't just eat Tex-Mex; we also speak it. Seventh largest city in the USA. Four and a...

    Moving Down the Road

    Thanks for the heads-up. We plan to travel at night, using back roads and avoiding the interstates. I am also moving the gun safe and will take out the guns and put the tobacco into the safe. We are renting a nondescript van with West coast plates. I've got a 5 gal bucket filled with fish...

    Moving Down the Road

    After over 30 years in SA, we are heading East. The kids moved out several years ago and there is nothing holding us here. We miss our grand-kids and really don't like the 17 - 24 hour road trips anymore. Georgia seems like a nice place, so we are heading that direction. Point is, I started...

    Flight to Japan-- Pipes & Tobacco O.K.?

    A few years ago, I was given a major IT program to manage in Australia. After checking prices in OZ, I decided to bring my own tobacco. I packed a few pounds of various pipe tobacco into Zip bags and packed six pipes in the original boxes. I took it all to the US Customs office at our...

    What's your Ideal Grinder?

    A long time ago I went to LORAN-C school at the base in New London, CT. One day I went across the street to a little sandwich shop and got a submarine sandwich, although they called it a grinder. WTH?

    What is your Trigger

    Morning coffee on the front porch in the rocker. Watching Maigret (Bruno Cremer) or Sherlock Holmes (Jeremy Brett). Reading a book. Playing a computer game. An hour before bedtime, usually around midnight. BTW, being retired is absolutely fantastic!

    With Whom Would You Smoke?

    Basil Rathbone, aka Sherlock Holmes and Sir Guy of Gisbourne. Pipe smoker and fencer!

    What I Dislike About Smoking a Pipe

    Nothing really bothers me. I've been doing this long enough and tried enough different tobaccos that I have pretty much settled down to EMP, Mixture 965, Balkan Sasieni, and Nightcap. I have about 20 pipes, mostly Pete's that I smoke in a fairly random rotation. I just enjoy the fact that I...

    Jim's 50th Pipe Smoking Anniversary.

    Congratulations, a worthy accomplishment. I have been puffing for 58 years and still going strong! My first pipe, a MM, is long gone, but it was replaced and I still have one in rotation. Wishing you many more years of briar satisfaction.
