    Filters

    I haven't used 'em for a while, but I tend to take the filter out and let it dry out (or toss it if really nasty). I have a number of Savs resulting in quite a number of filters that come with the pipes. Never had top buy any. I did buy a pack of filters for the one Brigham I own. These two...

    Do you need both a land line and cell phone at home?

    Old school: land line only. Answering machine to screen the callers. Not leaving a message? Not picking up. I am sure that irritates the scammers. A cell might come in handy for emergencies, but so far so good. (Thanks to God!)

    What are your dinosaurs?

    Are toy guns still made? With rolls of "caps"? And does anyone remember "greenie stick-m caps"? The roll caps were great when baseball bat was stalled down (on end) on a roll. Like a firecracker...

    Did you have Dungeons & Dragon Days?

    Yep. Played original D&D (your logo) and AD&D first and second editions. The third edition messed with things (with some improvements...), but I had finally had my fill. That was about fifteen years ago, so I was hooked for quite a while. Did a number of GenCons as well. Both when it was at...

    Captain Black anyone?

    I haven't had CB white in a long time. Never tried the other pouches. However, Red Sky is delicious (to my taste buds anyway - YMMV).

    Pilot vanishing point

    Don't have Pilot; I have an older Namiki - from the 90s. I believe they are related... It has a nice fine point (Japanese tense to run finer). The click is different; the nib is kept up in pocket, and the nib stays moist and ready to write for quite a while. I enjoy it when it comes up thru...

    What to Feed a Wide Mouth Bowl

    I have three. One is for virginia/burley; one is for cherry aromatics; the third is for a blend that is discontinued and that I am nearly out of. Not sure what will be the new tenant. Experiment with fine cuts and rough flakes. I understand the issue. I have a pipe with a one inch diameter...

    The best Sherlock Holmes

    Well, I watched the Brett series, courtesy of the local library (and interlibrary loans). Brett is very good. Alas, I have Rathbone stuck in my mind. His movies are like a comfort food. HOWEVER, the portrayal of Watson is poor. I can dream: Basil Rathbone taking Brett's place with the...

    Fear of heights?

    Can you imagine getting to the top of that tower and realizing you forgot (or dropped...) an item you need? Or am I the only one with the occasional dropsies?

    The Savinelli 320

    I have a few of these along with other Savs - use the filters only when a particular tobacco is on the wet side. Otherwise, I see no need.
