    Charatan Select with 4 metal discs inlaid in shank?

    The ring around the shank is the same material as the discs. I did as good a comparison of the wood on both sides of the ring and disc adornment, and I am pretty convinced it is from the same block of briar. The pipe dates from between 1958 and 1965. I verified that with a pretty respected pipe...

    Are there any cigars that come close to the taste of pipe tobacco?

    Reminds me that years ago, there were "Half and Half" filter tipped cigars. Basically like a cigarette. Knew a lady who smoked them exclusively. Got me curious if those are still made. A quick search makes me think they are a thing of the past. They were good, for what they were.

    Acceptance Is The Key To Peace.

    Amen, brother. I learned a long time ago, after some internal struggling, that the appropriate internal surrender was much less painful that the struggle. That battle that can rage inside of us robs us of so much.

    What style of pipe do you hope to own some day?

    I would like a Canadian with nice heavy walls and a Vesz Raindrop. Two shapes that I really like, but have not found in my budget or desired condition.

    Solani's Aged Burley Flake

    Def the best plain Burley I have tried. Nutty and dare I say, a nice underlying creamy sweetness. Another plus is that Solani is not full of timber.

    Charatan Select with 4 metal discs inlaid in shank?

    I saw a Charatan Select today. It had 4 discs, 1 on each side, and one on top and bottom. I had never seen it before, and was wondering if it is a repair, or if Charatan actually made any pipes like that. Anybody have any ideas?

    What was your first car?

    1970 Chevy Nova. Straight 6. Color was Gobi Beige which was a creamy, light, yellow. Most dependable car I ever owned, and would buy another one in a second.

    What pipe/tobacco Youtube channel do you like?

    Dighsx is one of my favorites. He is intelligent, and funny as hell. The dagners, onemansmoke, and Mknchg are all great. I think that any mention of great youtube pipe presenters has to include "DailyPuffer" and "ThomasiusPufendorff"

    My First Meer

    Nice Pipe. As far as I know, I am on the list to get one. Can't wait, as I love the purity of flavors I get from a Meer. Especially with VAs. When I smoke something like SG FVF in a meer, the sweetness really sings. Glad to hear production is coming along!

    Need Pipe Advice

    I love "Stanwell" and that would probably be my first choice but, I'm going to throw "Brebbia" into the ring here. I think they are great bang for the buck Pipes.

    Everyday Carry Knife - What Do You Carry?

    Spyderco Tim Wegner Jr. Which is probably my all time favorite EDC knife. Just feels great in the hand. Tip up carry, ATS-34 blade steel which is more than decent. Also have a leatherman Micra on my keys.

    Boswell Pipes

    I've never been able to score a pipe from them. When I've gotten through, the pipe is sold, and they have never offered to try to sell me something else. Basically short and to the point, "try again next Thursday". I know a few people whom they offered to sell them something else from the shop...

    Transferring to Jars

    I use 1/2 pint wide mouth Mason Jars. If I want to "preserve" the freshness I use a foodsaver mason jar attachment that works real well.....when you can get it to catch. The 1/2 pints are much easier due to the flared out jar body being close enough to the lid. That closeness allows the...

    Walt Disney World

    The last time I went to dinneywoorld was last October, and they still had designated smoking areas. Also had them at Epcot. I also smoked at downtown Disney at the Sosa Shop (pricey) and along the walk.
