    What are You Reading Now?

    I was fortunate enough to meet her years ago. The mystery writer, Ross Macdonald (Kenneth Millar) wrote a dust jacket blurb for the the 1st American edition of The Beggar Maid; Ms. Munro very generously inscribed my copy with a nice sentiment about Ken Millar for my collection.

    Aurora…

    I’m jealous of the skies many of you got to see. Our view in Pennsylvania was blocked by clouds all weekend. We supposedly had a chance of getting a look late Sunday night—Susan snapped this photo around 12:58 am Monday morning—we believe the slight glow at the tree line might’ve been the...

    What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2024

    Having a Villiger 125th Anniversary Robusto, 4 7/8" x 52 on the porch. I haven’t seen this size listed anywhere (it was probably gotten at CIGARfest 2018 or 2019 and could’ve been a preview promotional size). When I asked Wasabi if he wanted to go outside, he flipped down on the bed and...

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    If I understood the online dating guide, the Comoy’s script logo and Prima stamp would make this pipe pre-1920?

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

    That looks like it might be from the Savinelli Tris line (or a second that was supposed to be in the Tris line of pipes).

    What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2024

    Having a Rocky Patel The Edge Robusto Corojo 5.5" x 50 on the porch. It’s 66⁰ with a pretty clear sky. It’s pleasant and calm, not too much wind, and surprisingly comfortable.

    1,000th Post: Sharing Some Illustrations & Design I've Done

    I’m not quite sure how this happened, but I’ve somehow amassed 5,000 posts in my brief tenure here at the forum (hopefully some of you got some good chuckles out of some of my posts). I thought I’d share some of the covers I did for The New Republic early in my career. The first three were done...

    I had a bid ready to go on that, but the minimum jumped up much higher than expected.

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

    I’ve felt there were some freight train smokers on this forum that could burn it out.

    What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2024

    It’s nice and clear today. Unfortunately, it was very cloudy last night, which killed our chances of seeing the Northern Lights. It’s 51⁰ and a bit breezy, but the sun is out. Having a La Aroma de Cuba Robusto, 5.2" x 54 on the porch.

    Nathan "CrashTheGrey" Davis on Radio Show of May 7, 2024

    @crashthegrey I was wondering if you will continue to release Greywoodie pipes, or if they will be absorbed by Kaywoodie and/or be a special line within Kaywoodie; or would it be limited to being a retailer that has exclusive Kaywoodies? As a collector of Colossus Pipe Factory pipes and...

    My New, Old, Classic Cassette-Deck

    As I recall, a lot of cassette enthusiasts revered the Nakamichi CR-7A much more than the Dragon. The CR-7A still goes for some serious coin considering it plays a hobbled format. I have a low-end Nakamichi deck and it was great for transferring my cassettes of Ross Macdonald interviews by my...
