    Somebody mentioned Bluegrass ... a VaPer with DFK. Not ready for a TAD at the moment, so thought maybe I could make something (half a$$) similar. Mac Baren Club Blend with a splash of some Blending Perique. In a Sav Capri 611 (military stem) - a valued "old friend" pipe!

    Now, Sun afternoon, smoking a pipeful from my "Odds & Ends" jar, which I've been adding to for about 20 years or so. Not many folks here ever comment on having "Odds & Ends" or "Bits & Pieces" or "Junk Jar" or "Scraps", etc. It's nice. Smoking in a Rossi 8804 Canadian rusticated. Made me...

    Great 303. I love my little System Standard 303. But I think to fully appreciate it, you now have to get a System Standard 302. They'll keep each other company! ;)

    Jim ... a while back, you showed & commented on a pipe that you said was your favorite. Not to diminish your collection of 4AB's, but I would have guessed this Lorenzo level top billiard to be your favorite, based upon how often you show it. I always love seeing it because my first quality...

    WOW ... now Nov 12 & up to page 81 (!). Smoking some Mac Baren Navy Mixture in a Rossi Canadian. Had an excellent Veteran's Day complimentary dinner last night at Applebee's, including a large glass of Sam Adams Octoberfest. Several offerings but chose the 6oz sirloin w/mashed taters & green...

    Woke early this morning = Sat, Nov 1st. Went to McDonald's for their Big Breakfast w/Hotcakes plus a large black coffee. Drove to the viewing area at MSP Airport to eat & watch planes take off. Haven't had that breakfast for couple years so savored every bite! Beautiful out. The Autumn...

    I'm kind of taking the discontinuance of most of Mac Baren's personally. My first couple years with the pipe, I initially started with pouches. I then discovered those large jars in the (nearly extinct) B&M pipe & tobacco stores, like Tobacco Road, Tobacco Lane, etc. Some were freestanding...

    Hello telescopes ... me (the Inveterate Tinkerer, name courtesy of a Pipe Club brother) would be interested in the recipe for Lazy Bones. I think you've, previously, given us the recipe for "Telescopes" but I'd be interested in that as well. NOTE: I'm always up for "mixology", a term I've...

    I just popped an '09 tin of Blackpoint a week ago. Have left it open, off & on, for couple days so it can finally breathe, maybe "open up". I've never smoked Blackpoint before, but thinking my first bowl will be tomorrow (Sat). I'm going to bring it to Pipe Club on Tue for my Pipe Club...

    Well, you should live so long. ;) I don't think that ... noble ... battle-tested ... cob would cry "Uncle" even if it faced The Smashing Machine (!).
