With all of the snow, wind, and rain as well as the fact that I cannot smoke in the apartment I have not had a good pipe in while. That changed today. Have never been one to really do anything about my birthday other than note its passing. However, I have a small group of friends, slowly made...

Hello everyone, It has been a little while since I last logged in. In December it was finals. At first I tried to keep logging in, but my paper writing and projects kept me too busy. Then there was a health crises in my family (still recovering but doing well). Anyway, I am not dead. Before...

It is snowing in Boston. As well as most of the NE coastal area thanks to Athena. It has been windy, wet and cold all day as well as heavily overcast. Is actually kind of nice. Feel somewhat bad for saying that given the difficulty it is surely causing elsewhere but I am enjoying the snow. I...

Have not had much of a chance to smoke my pipes but for the short walk between the apartment and the public transportation. Thankfully, the last several days have provided the opportunity to change that. Thursday evening I enjoy an event that included a the work of a master cigar roller. Though...

Feel like I have been absent from the board lately... Anyway, I have good news. As the thread title states: I finally have a job. After two interviews and reference checking I was hired as a secretary. Now, I am not one who is unable to call the job what it is. I am a secretary. Though I will...

When I first moved to Boston, 6 weeks ago now, Gravel was kind enough send me a care package of three tobaccos. Excellent smelling tobaccos. In fact, the Highland Whisky is great and it has been my go to, take it with me, tobacco when I go out. Thank you for the wonderful care package. :cheers:

As you know, I moved to Boston, though the challenge is great and I am still looking for a job (a record is skipping?...) I have received a house warming gift of 3 very nice smelling tobaccos generously gifted to me by Gravel. Thank you very much Gravel. I look forward to giving each of these...

Well, I have now lived in Boston for a week and a half. Need to keep reminding myself of this fact. The first half a week was all about settling in and getting those various little things you need in an apartment for such activities as cooking. Then this last week it was all about applying for...

Alright, you guys, Mr. Doody, I am soon moving to Boston (in just a few weeks now) among the many things one needs to do in preparation for a big move is find out how the city views certain things. As such I have been investigating the rules as much as possible. Well, between packing and the...

This evening I enjoyed a pleasant evening hanging out with my good friend Dreadgerbil. Made salmon burgers, before heading down to one of the nice little hole-in-the-wall pubs. After two fantastic English beers, we headed to the garden and smoked pipes. I chose my largest Shalom with a brandy...

Well, I decided that since I am moving soon and will shortly be buried in boxes and have only a small selection of my art materials for the next few months that I would take this chance to mock up this tobacco pouch. Not just a tobacco pouch, but with a pocket for pipe stuff (lighter, pipe tool...

Hello Gentlemen (and Gentlewomen), I have now been in Boston for a long enough period of time that I have seen the sun set twice. Yet I have barely seen anything more. Sure, the inside of a walmart where in I was in queue for 45 minutes. The buildings fleet past I search for the next place I...

Having been busy and wrapped up in various things for the last couple of weeks I finally made it to Sturman's. A big decision was finally made Tuesday (more on that later in life events) after which I needed to go for a walk. As I needed some tobacco (black cavendish) I headed over to Sturman's...

Ok, looks like I am moving to the east coast this August. My destination will be either Baltimore, MD or Boston, MA. Both cities have pros and cons, but they are both two cities I never been to. NYC? sure, D.C.? check, Philly? there too, though only in D.C. did I actually live and that was a...

After offering some aromatic tobacco, for only the cost of postage, to the first to PM him. Surprisingly to me, I was the first to PM. He promptly sent the package, it arrived three days after he said put mailed and was kind of enough to understand that the check would be in the mail at the end...

This evening I finally smoked a beautiful early 80s Shalom briar pipe that I picked up on ebay in early January. Originally I had decided I would smoke it on my birthday, and then I was sick, and then life got in the way. I then decided I would smoke it the next time I had Dreadgerbil over for...

Just enjoyed a fantastic evening with Dreadgerbil and his lovely wife. We sat outside with the smell of the Syringa and Wistaria eating dinner and counting done to the the eclipse. Then we moved to cocktails and pipes during the eclipse. A lovely evening which continued inside once the lady...

Here you go, just for you scooter riding people. http://www.scooterpatcharchive.com/pages/american/index.html

Dreadgerbil was kind of enough to make this really nice pipe rack as b-day gift for me. Now finally I have my pipes organized. A huge relief, as the sight of my pipes in their less than organized state was really, really, bothering me. Now I have them set up (with a little bit of fiddling to get...
