Does anyone know, or have tried to replaster an old cob? I've got one that's not in bad shape but I thought it would be interesting to replaster and refinish it.
Today I was working away as usual with a cob clenched in my teeth when a gentleman of about 65 comes up to me. He asked if my name was Nathan. I said yes sir it is unless I'm wearing the wrong shirt. He chuckled at my comment, and stated " I hear you're a hard SOB Nathan." I looked at him and...
Well my blackthorn from cold steel arrived today. I've learned a lesson today. Get the real thing. This thing is insanely heavy! An the burl is too big and smooth for me to hold on to! But still thank you everyone for helping me get it!!!!
Well I've had a great weekend! I found out my mom has been clean and sober from drugs for three years! So we went and stayed with her and my step father this weekend! Well since we were up there we celebrated my birthday a week early!
Here is the pipe my beautiful fiancé gave me!!
It's a...
Everyone here came together to buy me a new cane when I was in need. Tonight I found out that a friend of mines fiancé committed suicide. I went and spent 3 hours just talking and listening to him. I told him about the loss of my first love and my fist son. And I was there for him to talk or a...
I was coming out of Walmart and its been freezing rain and I fell on my blackthorn! Now I feel like shit one because its a priceless family airloom and two because it my only cane.
Well after working way too much overtime for John Deere because the bike shop is closed for the season, we had John Deere day today. Well I was in charge of telling people where to park. And this was the highlight of my 14 hour day.
What is it? I'm not talking about flavor, I'm talking pure unadulterated kick in the face nicotine! I typically smoke Irish flake. And I've had my hands on jackknife plug.
Well I was supposed to be receiving a large sandblast Savinelli oom Paul today. But instead I received a tiny little mastercraft straight Dublin. Grrrrr.....
Today I was wanting a nice bowl of Luxury Bullseye Flake and I thought I was out but I found an old beat up tin that had 2 discs in it! Woohoo! Kinda made my day!
Well 5hrs later I'm finally home. Relieved, heartbroken, and tired. I have one final bowl of penzance that I will smoke in his honor. I wanted to save it for a special occasion and this will be it. I wanna thank you all for your support and prayers.
I'm sitting here in my hotel room smoking and just wanted to let you all know I truly appreciate all your kindness. It means a lot to me reading all the kind words and prayers. It keeps me strong.
I received a call today. A call I hoped to never hear. My spotter passed away last night. He was in a car accident. That makes me the last surviving member of my unit. I can only compare it to the loss of a brother. I feel as though I'm numb. Unable to hurt. I don't know how to feel. Tonight I...
I got a half pound of my favorite tobacco at my B&M today as another Christmas present from my brother in law. When the lad behind the counter opened the cabinet I saw the huge bag had a Peter Stokebye label. I inquired I they blended their own or just bought from Stokebye. He said they just by...
Tonight I was soaking in the bath tub and when I got out I lost my balance and fell. With only one leg and no rails it's hard as hell to get up. Well my fiancé was gone to Walmart with the kids. I fought for an hour to try to get up and even ended up tearing a door off the bathroom sink. When...
Well I got my Savinelli in yesterday and restored it today! I used an oxyclean bath and elbow grease for the stem and stripped and re stained it with the help of my father in law! The insides I had help from Cajundads retort! It worked beautifully! I couldn't believe the mess it pulled out...
