    Tell Me About Your Love of a Dog

    Just a small feature of this for me is that I do work late sometimes. There are no coyotes here in Osaka Japan and there is not even any real street crime to speak of but there are weirdos everywhere in the world so there’s peace of mind knowing the dog is there.

    Tell Me About Your Love of a Dog

    My wife seems to think she can prepare her own food for this dog. She has researched this. I’m worried though. Thanks again everyone! I’ve read everything everyone posted and looked at the fantastic pictures. This is a look into people from another angle and informative on how a dog can enrich...

    We’re watching a lot of training videos so we’re going to work hard to train him.

    Tell Me About Your Love of a Dog

    Thanks all! I’m looking forward to his arrival. I’m glad I stuck with looking for a Lab. I wanted a bigger friendly dog. I didn’t want a little puff ball.

    Tell Me About Your Love of a Dog

    I’ve never had a dog but my wife really wanted one. We have two small boys and I guess it’s also good for them. Anyway, we bought a 5-month old Labrador Retriever. He’s coming next week. I’m a bit worried about this choice. I’m looking forward to it but I’m also worried. So, tell me about your...

    Show Us Your Sasieni Pipes

    I’ve had this pipe for a couple of years. It’s one of the most beautiful pipes I own. Now, the Sasieni patent Fantail…is this a second? It can’t be!

    Greetings from Israel

    Hi! Welcome! I’m in Japan (but American). I’m curious what tobacco is available in Israel (?). I notice one seller on eBay who sells from Israel. It seems like they’ve got all the pipes from the generation of Israelis that smoked in the heyday. I wish you well and look forward to your posts!

    What to Learn from Tenons?

    I’m glad my question provokes a mystery rather than a mundanity. It seems that all those earlier Comoys and Petersons have them.

    I see. Got it. Thanks!

    What to Learn from Tenons?

    That makes sense. Why is it only on earlier pipes from those brands I mentioned?

    What to Learn from Tenons?

    The pipe in the photo must be something made by a big firm on order, maybe as a giveaway. It seems like Comoy’s and Petersons and maybe other English makers like Sasieni had more complicated-looking step tenons in the old days. You may be right about the reasons or rationale. I don’t know but I...

    What to Learn from Tenons?

    I was looking at a pipe on line: Looks like maybe a sail-maker in Great Yarmouth a long time ago. Or not. But the tenon: …it got me wondering. Is there anything you can learn about when and how a pipe was made from the tenon? I notice that OLD Petersons and Comoys have step-tenons. What does...

    Reuben Charatan’s Make

    Thanks! It smokes great, though I've had tree allergies (in Japan) the last month and haven't been able to smoke (they're almost over hopefully).
