    All Day Tobacco

    I phrased that wrong. I buy it before it's aged.

    All Day Tobacco

    We have different jobs I guess. And I say I buy to age, that hides my paranoia. I do truly believe within 15 years tobacco will be restricted to the point where grey markets flourish. Any kind of nicotine product.

    All Day Tobacco

    You did your time and get to enjoy the rewards, in this case having a pipe in your mouth as often as you please. I'm doing my time now and I'll get there. In the meantime, stocking up on pre-aged Virginias to enjoy when that time comes.

    Briar Wedding ring.

    Is what you're describing how gold plating is done?

    What Was your First Pipe?

    I got two pipes at the same time. The advice I got was its a good idea to rest them. So I got a MM Eaton and a full bent basket billiard made by H.I.S.

    Why is There no Bad Gasoline Today?

    I heard stories of bad gas. I always thought my old man was a bit nuts always going to the same gas station no matter the price. He said it was because those ones never let him down. But so far it's been only a boogeyman from years past. No, I take that back. There was one bad batch of diesel...

    What's Your Favorite After-Shave or Cologne?

    Bay rum, my favorite is from Captain's Choice. It helps that they are really decent good hearted people. For cologne, my favorite is Green Flannel or Tweed or something like that. But that costs money, so knock offs work well enough for me.

    The Love of Sports or the Lack Thereof

    I like watching my teams for baseball, football, and hockey (Orioles, Ravens, and Captiols). But other than that, I have a hard time getting into the leagues. I love going to games, but I have a hard time following the whole sport.

    All Day Tobacco

    My definition would be a blend you can smoke all day without getting fatigued nor bored. Carter Hall, any of Sutliff's codger clones would be good fits. I suppose cavendish blends would be good too. This is all me guessing though. Even on the weekends I can't smoke all day. I really wish I...

    Coolest Santa...

    This happy delightful version of Santa from Futurama is definitely my favorite.

    Krampusnacht!!!

    Night of the Krampus. Krampus, that delightful Germanic counterpoint to Santa, who would take naughty children and put them in a sack and I think beat them with sticks.

    Who Has a Job He Actually Loves?

    Reading this is interesting to me. I'm seeing jobs on here I just could not do. Mostly for temperament. God bless you gentlemen in law, teaching, medicine!

    Who Has a Job He Actually Loves?

    Up until last year I loved my job. It was running a small warehouse for a plumbing company. It wasn't a big grandiose thing, but when a sizeable percentage of the company's profits tied up on my shelves it was important. And it was always a great feeling outsmarting the news (it was "fun" trying...

    My order from smokingpipe.com

    You got some good blends. Which to try first is a good question, one with no wrong answer. Of them my favorite would be Stokkebye and it would already be half gone. But that's me.

    First Attempt - Dismal Failure!

    Ok, so the good news is you're here asking what went wrong so it can (presumably) go better next time. That means it wasn't a dismal failure! Just means you learned an important lesson. Pipe smoking is a thing youlearn by doing. Until you have a couple smokes under your belt, it's a lot like...
