    Keeping It Real

    It seems like many of our general topic threads go down the drain because we don't share the same opinions on politics, race, religion, and fraternal organizations. In an effort to change this, I think I found a photo we can all agree on. Chicks with guns are just plain hot. :rofl:

    I Finally Figured Out the Secret!

    I ordered some Squadron Leader months ago. I read good reviews about it, and the name actually grabbed me, as silly as that sounds. :lol: I've tried it several times, and it just never really appealed tome. I've learned however, to give all tobaccos a few chances. So many variables come into...

    My First Oom Paul

    My wife went to a huge antique show for a couple days and came home with a Wally Frank Oom Paul that she acquired for $15. This is my first Oom Paul (or Kruger, or Hungarian, or whatever you wish to call it). It was in beautiful shape, and after a good cleaning, I spent several hours enjoying...

    Glad I Followed My Gut (Pics)

    I've read a LOT of horrible reviews on this forum, regarding Jobey Stromboli pipes. I was watching one on ebay the other day, and of course nobody placed a bid on it. Since I'm kind of a hard-headed guy and like to form my own opinions, I put the minimum bid of $19.95 on it and won it. I just...

    Tobacco Project Request for Dummies

    Stupid question. Apologies.

    Let's See Your Forum CP

    Thought it might be cool to see where everyone is posting from. This is my Command Post. Most of my forum communication is done here. Occasionally, I will post from the back porch while puffing away.

    My Independence Day Purchase

    I treated myself to a "new" estate pipe to commemorate Independence Day (like I needed an excuse to buy one). Picked up a beautiful Savinelli Oscar Lucite 111 KS on ebay. I had been watching this pipe, but had a church function that I had to attend the evening the auction was over. Got back home...

    Look Out, Russ!

    I am sitting on the back porch, watching the Texas sunset, sipping Buffalo Trace and enjoying my sample of rsuninv's secret homemade recipe, "Smokey Bastard." Wow. you nailed this one, Brother. It has a smokey flavor that seems to fall somewhere between mesquite and pinon....which for me is...

    Fadingdaylight?

    Anyone heard from fadingdaylight? I haven't seen him around in a couple months. He was a daily regular. Hope all is well, Brother.

    The Ugly Stubbling

    I was bored........after I put the saw down, I wasn't sure if I should smoke it or make a fishing lure out of it. It was actually a bit fun to smoke! :lol:

    Piper kindness even bleeds over to ebay!

    I've had my eye on one of those old Medico silver overlay pipes for some time. Something about the silver just grabs me. My only hesitation in buying one has been that I figured it would be a cheap, hot smoking waste of money, even though the prices are way low. A few days ago, I went ahead and...

    First Rack

    I don't have many pipes yet (14), but enough that I didn't have a proper place to store each of them. Built my first rack today. It's not fancy, but it will hold 32+ pipes. Now, I just have to fill it up! 8)

    Father's Day Calabresi

    Well, my boys surprised me after church with a nice partially rusticated Calabresi straight. Feels nice and beefy in my hand, and I can't wait to stoke it up.

    Thoughts on D-Day

    With the anniversary of D-Day recently, there have been lots of tv specials and old photos flying around the internet to commemorate that famous day in history. I just read in another thread on this forum about Bradley's son who was lucky enough to jump into Normandy amongst the old heroes...

    Crazy tamp thoughts...

    Being a veteran, I guess it would be accurate to say that I tend to like military "stuff." I'm sitting here looking at a jacketed .50 caliber military bullet, and I can't help but think that it could be shaped into a cool tamper. The base of the bullet is just the right diameter, and it already...

    Today's estate score

    My friendly neighborhood estate connection caught me again today. Picked up this nice Bruce Weaver sandblast just now for $35, including tax. Very clean pipe. This is my first sandblasted pipe. Getting ready to load her up and try her out. I guess, even though the bowl is huge, this would be...

    Memorial Day Poetry

    FREEDOM IS NOT FREE, by Kelly Strong I watched the flag pass by one day. It fluttered in the breeze. A young Marine saluted it, and then he stood at ease. I looked at him in uniform So young, so tall, so proud, He'd stand out in any crowd. I thought how many men like him Had...

    My good friend Jose.

    Sometimes, if I have an extraordinarily crappy day (like today), my good friend Jose stops by. You guys would like him. He breaks the ice on frozen ponds to swim, he always has the best one-liners, he likes to work out on the heavy bag, and he loves pipe tobacco. As a Code Enforcement...

    Very special ending to a hard Monday

    My oldest son (20 yrs old) is home from Texas Tech for the summer. Today was a very hot, muggy day here. It was in the upper 90's with 100 percent humidity. Since I wear a ballistic vest at work, it was miserable. I got home tonight and grilled some chicken on the grill for my two sons (my...

    Karma and the Briar

    I won't bore you with details, but suffice it to say, it's been a long, crappy week. About midway through the week, out of the blue, a complete stranger on this site, who happens to appreciate veterans, sent me a PM, asking for my mailing address. He said he had a little something for me. Of...
