    Wife and Goomars

    Here’s the rules: You can have more than one side piece, but no polygamy. Here’s mine. Wife: MM965 Goomar 1: Crooner Goomar 2: EMP Goomar 3: Ebonknight (local B&M)

    Crooner with the Crooner

    Enjoying a bowl of Crooner with the crooner himself. When Bing lights the match in this scene, it’s the smoothest strike in the history of fire. Merry Christmas

    Santa Claus Conquers the Martians

    Let’s not forget, this man smokes a variety of pipes, as seen in this 1963 film Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (that for some reason was passed over at the Academy Awards.) And although his back is to the camera in this pic I took, the actor standing with St. Nick here is Ned Wertimer, the...

    La Cosa Trucksta

    I thought I had posted this earlier, but it doesn’t seem to have populated. I’ll try again. First off, I’ll admit the photo in this post doesn’t do justice to how funny this truck appeared in person. But when my wife and I saw it, we had a good laugh. Capisce? Here’s the story. Saw this...

    My First Peterson

    One year & nine days ago my wife gave me a birthday present. I tore the paper off, & there it was. A beautiful green box emblazoned with the last name of my 8-year-old daughter’s piano teacher. Now, Mrs. Peterson is short, & well-kempt for her age, not altogether unattractive, but I certainly...

    Gremlins

    We’ve started our family Xmas movie blast where we watch some great classics, some newer favorites, & some really awful flicks the kids pick over the next 45 days or so. We watched Gremlins a couple nights ago. I had forgotten what a fine piece of American cinema that film is. Hadn’t seen it...

    Reaming a Meerschaum

    Any tips for reaming a meerschaum? Need to scrape a little cake, but figured I shouldn’t be as aggressive with ye olde reamer on a mere as I am with a briar.

    Deertongue, Anyone?

    I’ve been smoking Crooner quite regularly since Christmas. Apparently it was a fave blend of Bing Crosby himself (if we’re to believe the marketing). So it just seemed right to order some and smoke it whilst watching White Christmas. From what I understand, it’s burley and deertongue, and I’ve...

    New Friend

    Happy International Pipe Smoking Day. I’ve never heard of such holiday until last night, but it was all the encouragement I needed to part with my money. Here’s a new friend I picked up 30 minutes ago at Schwab’s in Lex, KY

    Cube Cut

    Snagged some Crooner to smoke while watching Bing over Xmas. Came back to it today. Gotta say, I’m incredibly fond of cube cut. Packs smoother than any cut I’ve ever smoked.

    To Teeth or Not to Teeth

    I have a Q that is really just a curiosity. And I know this query touches a bit on clenchers vs lippers, and particularly not applying well to you exclusive clenchers. My apologies. Bite me. 😬 When you smoke, do you draw in front of your teeth, letting the smoke hit your pearly…uh…ecrus? Or do...

    Help Me Find a Similar Pipe

    Ok gentleman (& you rough ones), need help identifying this pipe. Took these pix from Sherlock Holmes: The Sign of the Four. (Not starring Jeremy Brett, sadly.) Can’t find this calabash anywhere, & I’d greatly like to buy one like it. Thx for any help. & Merry Christmas, you sexy beasts.

    Dad’s Xmas Present

    Bought Dad’s Xmas gift from the the B&M this morning. Think he’s gonna love it.

    The Most Moronic Thing You’ve Ever Done

    Title says it all. Tell us the dumbest thing you’ve ever done. Only thing I can think of at the moment: I bought 5 Ethereum Tokens when it was about $2,300. So far, that’s worked out terribly. I’m sure there’s other moronic things. Fortunately I suffer from that disorder where you think...

    New Basket Pipe

    Snagged this out the basket at Schwab’s in Lexington this morning.

    Go Ahead & Call Me a Moron

    These are lies… 1. You can be anything you want to be. -Your teachers lied to you. 2. It won’t bother you if you don’t bother it. -Your mother lied to you. I’ve been stung by both bees and wasps, & not once was I ever bothering them. In fact, I was very much going out of my way to avoid...

    Same Old, Same Old

    Not much been going on in my pipe smoking life over the last few months. No new pipes. No new blends. No eureka moments. Just steady, reliable, enjoyable bowls. I’m in a nice, boring, satisfying groove. And you know what? That’s perfect.

    Seasonal Frequency

    My summer frequency drops way down. Like 0-1 bowls per day. During the fall I start to pick it up a little more. And in winter, I smoke around 5-7 bowls per day. It helps me survive the crushing weight in my soul that comes with dead foliage cold air. I have no idea what my rate is in spring...

    Nightmare

    Had a dream last night I was smoking outside on a windy fall day and burned a hole in the wall of my favorite pipe. And it was one of those dreams that seems entirely real. Taste, smell, feel, the way time & physics worked in the dream all were just like being awake. I woke up so relieved it was...

    Help With Latakia Difs

    Alright. Maybe some of y’all can help me out here. I wouldn’t call myself a lat lover. But I do enjoy it, and smoke quite a few blends in which it features. Now, I probably do smoke mostly English blends. But I’ve already established in other threads what blends I’d call my faves. In short, my...
