Trying to find out more about a French marque
It is a different stem than Jims pipe but similiar design. There were once so many makers and brands in St Claude that is difficult to trace them all. Its got some fills but that wasnt a deal breaker at all with older French pipe. A lot of these makers also made and stamped pipes for various... -
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.- Sigmund

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.- Sigmund

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.- Sigmund

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- Sigmund

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...- Sigmund

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...- Sigmund

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.- Sigmund

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.- Sigmund

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...- Sigmund

How Much is Too Much?
No one can tell you how much is "Safe" since no one really knows. If you only smoke a pipe and only do it with moderation my thinking is its not too bad. Like my grandfather always said, "Something is gonna kill you". He was an ex-smoker, ex-coal miner with black lung, ex-house painter with...- Sigmund

***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***
My second pipe today. The first wasnt posted. It has been a yard work day. I mowed my weeds and got out the weed eater. Its a sad looking lawn with the drought we have had. Im trying some My Red Fox with a pinch of perique. Its tasty but I dont know that I will go out of my way for another...- Sigmund
