    PA and Bald Headed Teacher

    Recently I have been smoking a 50/50 blend of PA and Bald Headed Teacher. I'm generally Latakia averse, but I find the nose of BHT wonderful and the smoke is occasionally very fine to my taste. Not always, though. Mixing in a half measure of PA, a favorite, seems to enhance both. For other home...

    No new gadgets, but I will mention a battery etailer (no connection to them): http://www.batteryjunction.com/ I can't say whether they are the absolute cheapest place to buy, but I have always been happy with their selection, service, and convenience. Coupon code EARTHDAY10 gets you 10% off...

    Opinions on Luciano pipes?

    Some look pretty nice to me for the price. Several can be seen here: http://www.neatpipes.com/store/pipemakers.asp?pmid=40&catid=50 Does anyone have a Luciano? How do you like it? I'm thinking there is a spot on my rack for a new apple sometime soon. Thanks.

    What are you smoking?

    Ha! You nailed it, Tim! Sitting on my back patio with some Escudo in a Charatan billiard, noting that Thoreau lists his materials costs for his Walden Pond abode at $28.12 and that he could easily carry all his sparse and simple furniture outside during cleaning, and thinking that he was...

    What are you smoking?

    Out in the sun and shade and with the help of Thoreau and Solani 633 in my Jacono, reveling in the universe culminating in the present moment, the meeting of the two eternities of past and future.

    New for U.S. Stanwell shapes

    I like that 140. I love the two Stanwells I have, both of which I paid $44.95 for at my local B&M: a Vario 228 (about 2 years ago) and a Golden Danish 32 (1 month ago). Ridiculously good deals.

    What are you smoking?

    Blackwoods Flake in a Don Carlos 2-note rustic billiard. On the back patio watching my chickens and appreciating the new explosion of green.

    How long before a new pipe feels like yours?

    Yes, you have some beautiful pipes, Dock, (please consider me in line right behind Dover!) and an interesting take on the question. Great attitude and one I share. I have not yet owned any really high end pipes, but I have owned some that I liked very much. I have always been willing to sell or...

    How long before a new pipe feels like yours?

    Interesting, varied, and humorous responses – thank you, gents! Pipes are very interesting as instances of human-object relations. We have quite intimate relationships with them, if I may put it this way, and much more so than with most other objects. Like my pipes, I am quite fond of my...

    How long before a new pipe feels like yours?

    Hi, all. I recently picked up a couple of inexpensive, but nice, estate Charatans and a new Stanwell. It has been great fun getting acquainted with them! It got me thinking about the process by which a pipe comes to feel like ones own. It seems that it does not take very long for me. If I have...

    P-lip

    ofafeather, "a sort of phallic look" - you know, that hadn't occurred to me, but now I see it. Yes, I do. Thanks for pointing that out. I guess. I suppose referring to the pipe as "my Pete" takes on a whole new connotation now. Wife: What are you doing out on the patio, honey, late on this...
