My brothers, As you guys know, my computer problems last week made for a rough week for me. But, my good friend Don, aka Falconer made my week much better. I went to the mailbox and found a package from him. That part really didn't surprise me that much. After all, he had told me that he...

Hey all, I just thought I'd let everyone know that FedEx delivered my laptop this morning. And, I've been working most of the day to get all my files transferred and the laptop set up like I want it. I've still got some rather minor things to take care of. But, for the most part, I'M...

Anyone ever try this blend out? I'm told it is supposed to be very, very close to the same thing as the regular Frog Morton. Any input would be greatly appreciated!! Robert

As many of you know, I recently re-tried some of the Frog Morton that Bruins gifted me. Initially I hadn't cared for it. And, Linda hated the smell of it. But, after trying it in my old Wally Frank bulldog, everything changed. I think I may have found at least a temporary Holy Grail tobacco...

My brothers, My feelings toward you, my brothers, for the kindness, generosity, and brotherhood you have shown me is no secret! It is also no secret that my financial situation leaves me severely lacking the ability to give back to you in a manner that I feel is fitting. After many of you...

The other day, I commented on a print that Falconer sent to one of the brothers. Afterward, Falconer told me that he had some drawings of some old steam engines... if I were interested. After assuring him that I was and him sharing a few pics of some of his drawings, he told me that he would...

In a word... Dang Skippy... it sure has for me. As most of you probably remember, I received some gifted tobaccos from Petershantz a few days back. After trying them there was one of the tobaccos that I could barely stomach the taste of. It was John Patton's Storm Front. The flavor was...

Gentlemen, I would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to brother Nitschke066 (hereinafter referred to as Steve... hope you don't mind)!!!!! Tuesday, Steve sent me a PM stating that he knew I loved CWs, but wanted to know what other shapes/pipe makers and such I liked. I sent...

My brothers, I am preparing to make an order for some tobacco in a few days. I am planning on ordering it from 4noggins. Since I've not tried these, I would like your input. I have read about them on tobaccoreviews.com. But, I don't trust what is said there as much as I trust what you...

Today has been a bit of a stressful day for me. My wife and I woke up this morning with the belief that my wife would be having a heart cath done this afternoon. But, the doctor's office called and said that something had come up that caused the cardiologist to not be able to do it today. So...

My brothers, I wanted to let you know that my wife is scheduled for a heart catheterization tomorrow afternoon at 4:30 PM Central Time in Jackson, TN. If you have the time and think of it, I would like to ask that you think about her... and say a little prayer for her... if you are so...

As I was removing the stem from my Italian Molina to clean it, one of the rings that was on the shank of the pipe came off! Could one you you highly knowledgeable pipe doctors please tell me what the best way is to reattach it? I would really greatly appreciate it!! ;) Here's a picture of...

My hat is off to you and my thanks to you, brother Bruins!!! :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: Both you and Natch made yesterday a red letter day for me!! Gentlemen, brother Bruins was kind enough to share a sample of each of four of his tobaccos with me. They are Butera's Sweet Cavendish...

After reading some of my posts and short stories, it was suggested that I write a book. As I told everyone, it was hard for me to imagine having the ability to write something that anyone would be interested in... at least, enough to pay for it! Without going into a lot of long, drawn out...

I apologize for not posting this sooner. But, I have been busy with other things. As some of the brothers say, "life happens!!" ;) I am sure that many of you are already aware of the tobaccos that were recently gifted to me by Petershantz. Peter informed me that "Smokers' Law #1" says that...

My brothers, I would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you, to my brother, Petershantz!! THANK YOU!!! In the mail today, I received a package from 4noggins. It was from Peter. And, it contained 2 oz. each of 4 blends... 4noggins' "Bald Headed Teacher," John Patton's "Storm...

Bruins sent me a PM this afternoon in which he asked if I kept bees or if "beebiz" was because of something else. After so many of you enjoyed the true story that I told about me, my Granddaddy, and the stone, I decided I'd post this true story as well. I hope you, my brothers, enjoy it!! For...

Good evening to all of my brothers!! Many of you are well aware of the fact that I am relatively new to BoB. And, many of you are aware of the kindness and generosity (gifted tobacco and churchwarden pipe) that has been shown to me by my new brothers! You have welcomed me to your family in...

Hey all! In the thread where I introduced myself in the Welcome Wagon forum, one of the members asked me to post pics of me and my pipes. Well, I might post a pic or two of me later. But, not right now!! The pipes that I have are nothing fancy... by any stretch of the imagination! And, they...
