    Anyone self-conscious public pipe smoker?

    I was actually pulled over in my car, by an inexperienced State Trooper. He was on a "fishing expedition" for "Whacky Tobaccy" aka "The Devil's Lettuce". He stopped me solely based on the Corn Cob Poker I had clenched in my maw. Then he got a lesson on what "probable cause" is from a, at that...

    The Blend I Wasn't Going To Assemble

    @RSteve I guess you and I were thinking the same thing. I grabbed, at last count, more than twenty pounds of tobacco for blending from Haebar. It was just too tempting not to grab all that I could! Now, what the hell am I going to blend????????:LOL:

    Bushmeat?

    As a brand spankin' new Customs Inspector at JFK Airport, I cut open a bag of "Bush Meat" coming off of an Air Afrique flight many years ago. The bag popped and stunk up the entire terminal. The smell would literally "choke a maggot"! The Senior Inspector that was working with me puked into the...

    CANCELLED: 2020 Northeast Regional Pipe Smoking Contest and Holiday Party
