I love the look of the Peterson Spigot's. Usually they are above what I want to spend.

I have been using one that is sort of a liquid soap in a pump bottle. It is call Kiss My Face. It is great stuff.

Now there is a reason to take my Irish wife to Ireland. If the Guiness plant was next store it would be perfect.

I am definitely a fan on many of the Sutliff Aro blends.

I'm not sure if it qualifies...but I routinely smoke a Sutliff blend called nightcap that is sold in gold pouches (usually next to the Borkum Riff). I can only find it in these stores called Smokers Express. I think you can also get it in bulk, but I have never seen it in any cigar/pipe shops.

Peterson 2013 Pipe of the Year and Wingenroths Belvedere

I always look at the bore and make sure the draft hole comes out in the bottom center of the bowl. Pipes with the draft hole offcenter or one that doesn't exit into the bottom will usually not smoke well. I look at the fit of the stem and see if there are gaps. The biggest thing for me is the...

Wingenroth's tropicana in a Jake Hackert with a cumberland stem

I really want to do some WW fishing this year. I live right next to a warm water creek that has some nice rock bass in it. I just have to walk out my back door to the water.

Wife was up this morning...so I didn't get a bowl before work. On my way home I will be lighting up a bowl of Wingenroth's Belvedere in a Mauro Armellini. (that is as soon as I'm off our campus).

Doc...you're just trying to make me feel better....I appreciate that!

I currently own to pellet guns. One is a Daystate Harrier...which is a very expensive pre charged pnuematic (which you fill from a scuba cylinder) and the other is an RWS 34. The RWS 34 is an oustanding rifle which you will have for years and it will amaze you at the accuracy. It has plenty...

I haven't fished much in the last 10 years or so...but the bug has gotten me again. I have 6-7 rods and 5 or 6 reels. I live in Central PA, so I am in the heart of some prime limestoners. So most of my equipment is in the 4-6 weight. I have started tying some flies again...but boy the first...
