    Who Would Be In Your Dream Rock/Blues Band?

    A pipe buddy of mine is on the Marcus King tour staff and he invited me to a show last week. I’m not really a blues fan but Marcus King is a great blues/soul singer and guitar player.

    Do You Like Snow?

    No, but I’m back north for the festive season and it’s snowing today! Got the last of the yard work done yesterday and am enjoying a pipe by the fire looking out at the snow accumulating on the winter ready deck.

    What Pipes Do You Wish You Had?

    There’s a few out there and the owners know I want them. I’m patient but time is not on our side.

    Peterson Lighter Repair: Catch-22

    Have you inquired about this with Laudisi? I guess I assumed they were disposable. I would be great if you could get it fixed especially if you could send it to them.

    Selling Off Bulk Aged Loose Tobacco Query.

    Personally I wouldn't pay a premium for for age especially on bulk tobacco. I've bought a lot of bagged estate bulk tobacco over the years I wouldn't pay more than the lowest sale price per ounce.

    If You Could Visit any Pipe Shop...

    I would like to visit and set a spell with Jon David and Quinn at the Country Squire some time soon. Lots of shops in Europe like Novelli Corti Noli Al Pascia Peter Heinrich’s and The Danish Pipe Shop would be great but for the long flight over.

    How Many Cutters And Lighters Do You Have?

    Is it a torch? Will it light off another lighter? I assume you’ve tried releasing some gas and/or testing it on high and low. Blow out the burner? I had a lighter that quit working at home at 600 feet but after a trip west through the mountains worked fine again at 3000 feet.

    An Odd Duck Dunhill?

    No a Black Briar is not a Shell. IMO It’s a slightly more transparent black stained pipe with a darker brownish undertone than the purple/eggplant undertone on the black Dress finish.

    When the PipeGods Give You Lemons... Make a Hamburger

    We had a retired high school shop teacher in our pipe club. He was an odd duck at best and not in a nice way.

    Castello Reg. No.

    I think they save the Castello in script for unique and high end pipes like Pezzo Unico.
