    Official Secret Santa 2014

    Got my SS package on Saturday, and opened it up at the local B&M having a smoke with Shaintiques, who was just a wee bit jealous when I opened the box! Allan sent me tins of two of my favorite tobaccos aged a year: Escudo and FM Cellar, which would have been awesome enough by itself...But...

    Any Gamers On Here?

    Up until about 6 months ago, I played alot of FPS (mostly COD titles) on the xbox360. Just started getting away from it as I spent more time writing, and now I only play once a week or so, if that. I'm a RPG gamer from way back, though. Spent almost two years playing Ultima Online back in '97...

    Early Birthday Present From Shaintiques!

    Got an awesome (kind of) surprise on Friday when I met up with Dave for our semi-weekly smoke at the local B&M. I say kind of a surprise because he had let slip a few times in the past that I probably shouldn't buy any more tampers for awhile, and although I thought that was a strange...

    Dunhill Unique Lighter

    Curious if any of you gents know much about the Dunhill Unique lighters. I picked up one at the local B&M a week or so ago. It just called out to me, and I picked it up on impulse. Works great, but I can't find much about them. Looks like it is one of the newer models, from around 1980 or so...

    The Dying Art of Manliness.

    A man lives his life true to himself and his beliefs. A man strives to bring harmony and joy to those around him. A man respects and honors his spouse. A man protects and cherishes his children. A man lives his life to the fullest in all things.

    The Troll Foot! (Cthulu Pipe) Pic Heavy

    Well, I have been waiting for this for awhile, and it's finally time to reveal my newest and most meaningful pipe in the collection! I have watched our very own Shaintiques craft several pipes over the past year or so as I have gotten to know him as a fellow pipe smoker and during that time, he...

    Slow Smoking at The Briary

    Definitely a fantastic day! It was great meeting all the new people like cosmicfolklore, and I would have done better than 4th place in the slow smoke if I hadn't been betrayed by my tiny bladder! Meeting Erik Nording was awesome and he signed my pipe bag. Just a fun day with my fellow pipe...

    Shaintiques Made The Old Cajun A Pipe

    Glad to see ya enjoying the pipe Bradley! I've seen it coming along through several stages, and I knew it was going to be a beauty that would make you happy! Dave does some great work, without a doubt. This place continues to be a rare retreat on the interwebs. -PM

    How Often and Where Do You Smoke

    Just recently began taking over the clubhouse I built for my daughters when they were younger. Now that they are teens, they don't use it, so I have a cozy little 8x8 man-cave in the making. I smoke about once a day, sometimes twice on weekends.

    Who-All Reads While They Smoke

    When I smoke, I'm almost always reading if I'm not writing. Lately it has been more of the latter, and I need to catch up on my reading. (On a Kindle, as well!) -PM

    Shaintiques

    Dave is an all-around good guy, no doubt. I'm lucky enough to live close to him, and he has become a good friend in the past year. I've also had the chance to see several of his pipes as he was working on them and after they were finished, and he definitely has a natural talent for pipe making...
