Esoterica Margate
Well, colour(yes I know how I spelled it but as an Anglican Priest I'm required to use British spellings as often as possible) me shocked! When I first began smoking a pipe you would never have convinced me that I would enjoy English blends. "Too heavy", I thought. "It smells weird, it...- frtimmyd

Looking for a B&M Near Madison
I'll be heading up to Madison, WI in a couple of weeks to do my niece's wedding. Thought I might pop in to the local B&M (if there is one)and pick up a special pipe for the occasion. Anyone know of one between Janesville and Madison?- frtimmyd

Peterson Icebergs
I've been craving one of these ever since Peterson announced them. Has anyone heard when they will be available in the U.S.? -
Wellington Volcano - Info?
'round about Christmas, my Bishop blessed me with a selection of his old pipes. In it was a beautiful Stanwell freehand, a Velani Chianti, and this pipe that is simply marked "Wellington". I've recently reamed it out and polished it up and am giving it my first smokes. So far, so good. But... -
The New Tobaccos are Here! The NewTobaccos are Here!
(to complete the "The Jerk" reference....Things are going to start happening to me now!) I was like a kid on Christmas morning when I got home from the prison today. Waiting for me on the kitchen counter was a lovely box from Pipes and Cigars.com. Inside? W.O. Larsen 1864 "Perfect Mix"...- frtimmyd

Best Smoke of my life. . .
. . .so far. I was just sitting down after a long, hard day. Grabbed my Peterson Rusticated Kapet 69 and loaded it with with 7 Seas Royal. Not sure exactly what I did but the pipe was perfectly packed (one light took it straight to the bottom) and the flavor of the 7 Seas seemed better than...- frtimmyd

Learning Latakia
OK so I've had a tin of Villager 1888 Early Day for about a month now. It's the first Latakia blend that I've ever tried. Not sure yet what I think. The room note is not overwhelming but I'm trying to get used to the flavor. Is this something that takes place over time? My typical blends...- frtimmyd

Rising from the Ashes
I'm Back, Baby! We finally got phone and internet service here in West Liberty. The town's in shambles but life is beginning to reassert itself. An early spring is bringing out the flowering trees and we shall rebuild. Thanks to all of you who sent private messages letting me know of your...- frtimmyd

West Liberty, Kentucky
If you have been watching the news today you know that my town of West Liberty, Kentucky was destroyed by a tornado last night. My family and I made it through with no serious damage but many of the people I love have been hurt. Please pray for us if that is your tradition.- frtimmyd

Polishing Stems
I want to make the stems on my pipes all shiny and nice looking. I actually only have a couple that are oxidized and need extra TLC but this is one of the areas of pipe smoking that I just have no knowledge and no one nearby who could walk me through it. Is there a way of doing this without...- frtimmyd

My First Meer
Not big but it's a sweet looking pirate. Just couldn't resist. (I've also decided I need a new camera. All the other pics were too crappy to post.) -
Deertongue
My pipe mentor and I were discussing his latest experiment with blending last night and he mentioned that he was adding a little deer-tongue to it. He says this adds a little natural vanilla flavor. I'm not too familiar with this. Anyone have any experience with it?- frtimmyd

Absolute Insanity
Well, Kentucky's gone and done it. As of March 1, 2012, all of the state prisons in Kentucky will be "tobacco free". The absolute insanity of this amazes me. In my prison that means that come March 1 about 1700 criminals and 300 Officers will all be going through withdraw. As if it isn't...- frtimmyd

Humidor/Pipe Rack: a vanished memory?
One of the distinct memories I have from my childhood is of a combination humidor/pipe rack that was owned by a friend of my Dad. It was much like the one pictured here. I'm frustrated that I can't seem to find any of these as new items. Are they one of those items that have vanished from...- frtimmyd

Olde English
My wife bought these Olde English wipes for quick dustings of the furniture. Now before I do something really dumb...has anyone used or considered using these on your briars for a quick rub down after smoking? It seems like they'd work well but I don't want to end up messing up my beloved...- frtimmyd

My beginning collection
This is a group picture of my beginner's collection. Most of these were gifts to me from great guys that wanted to encourage my new obsession. Actually the only two I've bought myself are the Yello-Bole (first pipe I ever smoked) and the Peterson Kapet #69.
