    Tried the Spherical Pipe Screens

    Yes, Mr Frank advocates the use of meer chips. He told me it didn’t appear in early videos because he didn’t know they were readily available in other areas. He also rubs a great pipe shop.

    Tell Me About Your Love of a Dog

    You can leash train a grown dog. It takes a little more work but you can do it. My hundred pound dog never waled on a leash until we adopted him from my brother in law. He does it now.

    Keeping an Open Mind

    My latest aro I like is about half HU Ju52 tobacco which has a rasberry topping. Its not goopy and you can taste the virginia and perique. I add it to about half Louisana Broken Flake. The rasberry is softer and is kind of like a different fruit taste than the perique. Its pretty tasty.

    My New, Old, Classic Cassette-Deck

    I had better setups than all in one garbage but never high end setups. I tended to spend more on musical instruments

    Keeping an Open Mind

    If you like it smoke it. Dont worry about blend snobbery. And you dont need to spend 20 bucks a tin in the US. I always bought bulk blends myself. I cant in the EU so Im stuck with the price of tins. Average is about 20 per 100 grams. Here crap tobacco isnt much cheaper than the really...

    Tell Me About Your Love of a Dog

    A lab will do well with exercise. That is the case with a lot of dogs. My dog is old and I dont know how I will manage when he is gone. There is nothing quite like a good dog and a great dog is a once in a lifetime experience. Its about the only unconditional love you will get in this...

    My New, Old, Classic Cassette-Deck

    Back when I could hear the difference I couldnt afford a system that would really point out the differences. Now that I can Im nearly deaf in one ear and the other has a lot of road wear....getting old is fun.

    My New, Old, Classic Cassette-Deck

    I think the old cassettes did their job pretty well. At least way beter than the low sample rate digital stuff our kids listen to. Thats not to say they were perfect but they served pretty well.

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***

    After a late lunch of Ratatouille Im having an oldie but a goodie. A bowl of PsychoAnalysis (St Bernard, Salty Dogs and a pinch of latakia) in an Il Ceppo. Tea on the side.

    Folding And Stuffing Flakes

    When I was first smoking the pipe back in 2009 (I stopped for a long time) I had no luck with the fold and stuff method. Of course I was not a member of forums like this to get good advice. Even still, I rub out and dry. Its just easer to me. Also, while its not on purpose, most the blends I...
