    Suddenly Lost my Taste for Pipe Tobacco

    Have you deep cleaned your pipes? Covid?

    Tell Me About Your Love of a Dog

    My napping little lap dog. He is a giant baby but dont touch his master! He has never been taught to guard anything but when I had surgery last year and the nurse came to the house to change dressings and such (yes, we have medical house calls in France) my wife had to hold him by the collar...

    Tell Me About Your Love of a Dog

    Other than good quality dog food, my rule is that if I wont eat it I wont feed it to my dog. Very careful care (and some luck) is why he has lived well, and far beyond the life expectancy of his breed.

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***

    @Roach1 You should. Some guys dont like cigar leaf but its not up front and in your face. Knowing what you like I think you would enjoy it. It leaves a bit of sweetness on the tongue and its full bodied and a little on the dark side. I like it with added perique. I think most blends that...

    You dont need the water meter man. Just make sure your post man is healthy! It would be bad news for PAD and TAD.

    Time for another pipe. HU White Horses plus perique in a D. Rovera. A beer on the side. You HU fans are missing out by not trying White Horses. Its a nice blend.

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***

    I just got through lubing my pc keyboard. Keys were kind of hanging. Its a nice old gaming keyboard that isnt made anymore. I didnt want to change it. If you have a nice keyboard and its feeling crappy I highly recommend it. Its worth the time investment.

    We had an early lunch. I made some mussels in a wine sauce. Now its time for a pipe and a cup of tea. HU Zulu mixed with Plum Pudding in a Ser Jacopo. For those who have access to both blends its a great combo. More lat than Zulu and more complexity and an added note of sweetness to Plum...

    Tell Me About Your Love of a Dog

    I never give my dog bones. I do my best to keep him away from them. He is a Rot with incredibly powerful jaws. He can destroy any of them in short order and then run serious health risks. Ive had to do several xrays on him after he got into things and there were concerns over blockages...

    MBSD PAD slip up.

    Dreadful mistake with that sloppy trigger finger. Send it to me and I will dispose of it properly. Nice pipe!

    Any EDC CCW'ers?

    Great advice. Ive owned firearms (I worked in the justice system) but I dont anymore. Im glad I dont live somewhere that I feel it is an important consideration.

    French Oom Paul Project

    Ah, you were talking about the stummel. I thought you were having trouble with the stem. Maybe if I had read more carefully. Might be from the Butz Choquin factory if I had to guess.

    French Oom Paul Project

    I have a French pipe that would not pass a cleaner also. Some of those old French pipes are drilled pretty narrow and when they bend the stem the all but close off. The same problem as French engine designs. They look great and elegant on paper but when the rubber hits the road they invite all...
