    Smoking in Films

    Oh my gosh, I just roared through the post of that YouTube site with Hitler ranting about this internet pipe tobacco order! That is funniest thing I have seen in weeks! Very well done! Anything but Mixture 79! Fantastic!

    Holmes Novels

    Bartleby Books in Georgetown (Washington, D.C.) has a A. Conan Doyle boys book about knights in the Middle Ages, a sort of King Arthur type genre. I had not idea he had written these type books. Please let us know what you read in your new collection! Sounds like a great find.

    Man Cave Pics

    What an awesome space - tobacco, pipes, easy chair. I really like the little pipe table with the ash tray in the stone top - cute little piece that reminds me of the pipe stand in "My Lady Nicotine"! Some well smoked pipes. I can smell the pleasant scent of the might leaf wafting through the...

    Smoking "Cabin"

    What a fantastic sanctus sanctorum! I have thought about the same thing - a special place outside the house (smoking off limits) but outside the weather. We are having quite the snow storm in Virginia this evening, so smoking on the back porch, though covered, it quite the experience. But...

    IM Corona Lighters

    My salesman at Georgetown Tobacco recommended Corona for the same reasons you have - price, reliability, and guarantee. I've had mine for 6 months and love it. The lighter is reliable and retains the fuel charge over a long period of time - even when not used for several weeks. So, I agree it...

    Pipe Quote

    James Herriot, a British veteranarian in the early 1900s, wrote the popular "All Creates Great and Small". Each chapter is a happy story of farmers and their animals and villagers and their pets. They are just the right length to read in bed before light out. Anyway, I just read this funny...

    A poem

    Excellent work full of feeling, introspection, and the bond of man, pipe, and the primal stream of life. I really like it and will copy it into my Tobacco Journal! Please share others you feel comfortable letting the Brothers enjoy! Regards, Regulus

    What Are You Reading?

    Gentlemen, Has anyone reviewed or read Schnitzer's book titled "Leaves From a Tobacco Man's Log"? A couple of Brothers recommend this book, and I've seen it referred to as a great read by, I think, Gary Schrier in his book Confessions of a Pipeman. The reason I ask is the cheapest copy on...

    Greetings from new pipeman in Virginia

    All, greetings from a new community member from Viriginia. This is a great community of pipe brethren I stumbled on in my search for tobacco and pipe books. I hope to add a couple of titles to the two book lists I've seen so far. Happy smoking, Regulus
