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.
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...
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...
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.

Getting ready to watch UFC Fight Night. Having Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding Special Reserve in a Briar, Sweat, and Tears (BST) Large Curve (LC) Swan Neck 3/4 Bent Billiard.

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...
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...
