    Baby Food Jars

    I have been saving the empty baby food jars from our son for small crap on my work bench. The other night I was washing a couple out and a thought popped in my head. I could use them to hold a few bowls of tobacco and then not have to open my bigger mason jars as often. Just wondering if anyone...

    Can't Believe I Waited This Long To Try 3P's

    I'm sure most of you know I can find the good in most blends. This is excellent.

    My Month spent with Lakelands

    Back in August Smokeybear and I traded tobacco samples. I sent him some OGS, FVF, and Hal O' Wynd for Rum Flake, Ennerdale Flake, and Kendal Cream Flake. I decided to go in on the PandC brused black Stanwell deal and get and bent Acorn. This would be my Lakeland ghost pipe if this experience...

    Catching Up

    Catching in after a long time off. I think I have finally caught up on life after the birth of my son while I was in night school. I'm starting to find the time for a pipe or two a week. I also have met a pipe smoker at my homebrew club and we trade tobaccos which has been cool. It's sad to...

    Germain's: Plum Cake

    I bought a tin of this about 6 months ago and popped it tonight. I'm not the biggest aromatic fan but this thoroughly impressed me. Consistent flavor throughout the entire bowl, only 1 relight with no drying time. A pleasant surprise for a random pickup.

    Well Life's About To Get A Little More Hectic

    As most of you know I have a hard time posting during college semester because I am a night student. I had to jump on here though and tell you guys that more of my time is going to be allocated in a few months. My wife just informed me she is expecting our first child. Things are about to get real.

    Fall Pipe Smoking

    The best time of year imo for piping, and my EE classes are take up every night of the week this semester. It's really cutting down on my enjoyment of the season.

    A Pipe in Remembrance

    My wife lost her aunt last night to sinus cancer. This great lady was more than welcoming when I decided to join her extended family. I am spending tonight's smoke contemplating how lucky I got with inlaws. Cheers.

    Cob PAD

    I love my Country Gentleman and I also love to have a bowl while I mow the grass. So I went and got a couple of larger pipes to last longer while I cut. I figured since I was going big I might as well get a McArthur. Now I just need to figure out how to load the thing and what I could possible...
