    How Often Do You Smoke a Pipe?

    "Draconian." Well-said! In the Perth, W.A. metropolitan area one should be well-away of others when lighting up anything. New acquaintances will often say, "Oh, you smoke a pipe?" as their voice inflection rises in utter surprise. It's as if I was wearing a tricorn & had a lengthy clay in my...

    1943 Lucky Strike Commercial

    I wasn't even in the planning stages in '43, but I always have enjoyed music from the 1940s & early '50s. And how about all those fedoras! Safety razors. Old Spice. Singers could sing & SING WELL. And some of you are spot on with tenacity & patience. My first experiences were filled with tongue...

    Codger levels

    I don't plant anything really. The entire area is pasture with chestnut trees (yep, they still grow naturally), amid other deciduous & conifers with heaps of rye grass & clover as a carpet. The land is moderately rolling hills with a creek running through the northern third. It's my little...

    In addition to finding pleasure in pipes & tobacco, is there anyone in the forum who finds pleasure in paintings or photos focused on pipe smoking? The selection is almost unlimited online.

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2022?***

    Even though it's summer in south central Arizona, I still reach for my favourite: Presbyterian. I've not sampled a plethora of tobaccos, but I certainly settled on this old blend! It's pleasing to read that others have found it enjoyable as well. I can just imagine how life must have been back...
