I'm Bloody Livid: Amazon Refuse to Sell Me a Set of Kitchen Knives.
That reminds me of the time I was traveling on military orders which required me to get to a location and remain overnight at a local hotel. The first hotel I tried, the desk clerk wouldn't allow me to check-in because I was under the age of 26. She refused even when I showed her that I was...- pappymac

J.R.R Tolkien ...
Now that is fair criticism. I've found that their are a number of "great" writers that I don't enjoy reading. I personally had a hard time reading Stephen King.- pappymac

Peterson Mark Twain - To Smoke or Not Smoke
In my opinion, buying a pipe and not smoking it is about the same as buying a car and not driving it. -
A Stark Warning
After smoking and while the pipe is still warm I will insert a pipe cleaner and wipe the bowl out with a tissue. I don't remove the stem for cleaning until I'm ready to smoke that pipe again.- pappymac

J.R.R Tolkien ...
As much as I enjoy the LOTR books, I was already in my 20s and smoking a pipe before I discovered Tolkein and his books. In fact, I discovered the Bakshi and his animated movies "Fritz the Cat", "Wizards" and "The Hobbit" before I read Tolkein's books.- pappymac

Breath Method
I used the breath method when participating in long smoke competitions. I won twice and finished in the top five three other times. I haven't done any competitions in four or five years but I still use the method when smoking my pipes. I find it makes for longer, more enjoyable smokes.- pappymac

Greetings From South Texas
San Antonio? I thought you said South Texas. Joking. I'm from the Beaumont/Port Arthur area originally. We think South Texas is close to the Gulf and not in the middle of dry land.- pappymac

Most Unique Blends
The most unique I've found has to be The Untouchables (a collaboration from DTM, HU & Michael Apitz) that I found when I made my first order from Estervals two or three years ago. It's the only blend i've come across with Cedar/Rose Geranium flavoring. I bought 10 tins last year and I have five...- pappymac

Roast Beef Sammich Heaven
When I was stationed across the river from Philadelpia I fell in love with good cheesesteak sandwiches. I asked the butcher in this one store what roast they used. He said the best shops used a boneless ribeye for their sandwiches. That being said, the absolute best roast beef sandwiches I have...- pappymac

Anyone Recognize this Pipe?
Over the years I have seen a number of "bull" pipes like that in various antique malls around the south. Either that are there is just one pipe and it travels from antique mall to antique mall. I personally never have had the urge to buy one.- pappymac
