Sadness In The Household
Some years the house is warm and friendly during the holiday season, this year is not one of them. We got news yesterday that my wife's brother passed away after a three year long battle with cancer. Specifically, he had multiple myeloma that attacked many of his organs and immune system. He was...- werdna

My Brother's Annual Visit
Each year, in October, my brother and his lovely wife come to visit Vermont, and play the tourist role. He's been here for so many years, I don't think there's anything he hasn't already seen, but they do enjoy the leaf show. He's a cigar smoker, and we occasionally would light up and chat over...- werdna

My First - Dunhill Flake
We're under a tornado watch, but that will just have to wait until I finish this delicious bowl of Flake. I took advantage of SP.com sale on five tins of DF, and it came UPS fourteen minutes ago. I wasted no time opening the package and a tin, and loading up my tiny Barclay Rex that I've had for...- werdna

Fishing Trip
Guys and Gals, Son #1 called today to say the albacore have moved into Gardner's Bay, and so I'm heading down to Montauk LI tomorrow morning with my fly rod and two pipes. Be gone all week chasing bass and albies, wish me luck, stay safe and healthy, and I'll see you all next week.- werdna

How Long Is Your Cellar?
I'm not asking about feet or meters, I'm asking about time. If you were to not buy another ounce of tobacco, how many months/years would it take before you ran out? Since I'm a newbie in cellaring tobacco, and I smoke about 12 ounces per month, I estimate I have 4 or 5 months of stock. A very...- werdna

Vermont Public Radio Pipers
Today is VPRs 36th birthday, and they posted this shot of the founders on Facebook. I thought it was interesting. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151798339485560&set=a.123699145559.135666.35976690559&type=1&theater- werdna

Perseid Meteor
It took me four nights of shooting, but last evening I finally got a shot of a Perseid meteor. A fun event annually, and this is the first year in the last three that we had a clear sky, though the clouds moved in shortly after this shot. The fun part of this is for four nights I enjoyed my pipe...- werdna

Hmm, Lots Of Tobacco On Backorder
I was just perusing Pipes and Cigars, and 4noggins for my next TAD order, much of what I want is on BO. Not a major problem now, I can order other blends in tins/bulk. But I really wanted to cellar a couple favorites, and I'll have to wait. I'm not saying which blends, cause I don't want to...- werdna

Swap a P-Lip?
I recently purchased a Dr. Grabow Omega and I like the pipe, but I hate the P-lip stem. I just can't get it to sit in my teeth comfortably. I thought I might be able to buy a new stem with a flat button and replace the P-lip, since it is a military type stem with a taper where it enters the...- werdna

Dry The Whole Tin?
I've opened a tin of MacB HH Mature Virginia, and find it quite moist, too moist to smoke as is, so I've been drying one bowl at a time. I don't plan on storing this long term, should I just go ahead and leave the tin opened until it is just right, or continue one bowl at a time? MacB tins are...- werdna
