I was at CVS Pharmacy the other day and came across this special addition on Sherlock Holmes. Ninety-six pages of articles and illustrations. Just started ready and enjoying.

I've been off line for awhile. Had to rush home from Indiana to pack up the house. I asked my wife to check with local realtors to see what the market is for homes in our complex. Next thing I know the realtor calls me up that our house sold in a day. I couldn't get home right away due to...

Haven't been around much this past week because I'm in a rush to move. The past two years I've been back and forth between Arizona and Indiana (mostly been in Indiana) helping my Son out with my Granddaughter who has just turned three. She has had some health and physical issues (which...

I would like to thank Ranger107 for this surprise gift. Its a Erik Nording pipe stand and a nice tamper. What really makes this special is many many years ago I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Nording when he was in Phoenix hitting a lot of the local shops doing a road show. I want to say the...

I couldn't help myself: I know I said I already had plenty but I couldn't help it. 8 ounces Stokkebye Proper English Tub Edward G Robinson (thanks Idlefellow for the recommendation). I've smoked a couple bowls now and could see where this could be an every day blend in the rotation. Ropp...

I had to run to the local version of Home Depot/Lowes called Menards for my Son. They had these laundry carts on sale. This works perfectly for my every day pipe/tobacco needs in the camper. Now everything is in one place instead of sitting on the countertops and furniture.

I had some leftover corned beef so I decided to make breakfast. Potatoes, onion, red, yellow, green bell pepper, corned beef and garlic. I topped off with two eggs over easy. Coffee with a shot of Tulimore Dew.

I see where a lot of you say you have Cowboy Coffee in the morning. Is this a certain way you brew coffee, a brand of coffee or a tobacco blend? I love a good cup of coffee in the morning when smoking my morning bowl. I admit at times I am slow and don't catch on.

Was playing around with another of the cobs that I purchased. I think I will leave the stem/bit straight this time. I still need to polish and do some cleaning up of the stem.

Three Missouri Meerschaum pipes: all straight, Country Gentlemen, Mark Twain and a Diplomat. Tobacco: India Trading Company-Officers Cub, C&D Black Duck, 8 oz of Peter Stokkebye English Oriental and Mac Baren Bold Kentucky. All blends I've never had before. I wanted to get some Stokkebye Proper...

I have been having a hankering for some shrimp creole. Found a recipe on the internet. Taste pretty good for a first try.

As I said in another thread I just purchased a Dagner Poker Cob pipe. I really didn't care for the short stem and bit. I still have a bunch of pipe making components and briar blocks that I purchased from when Paul Hildebrand owned Pipe Makers Emporium in Phoenix. I like Pokers and Churchwardens...

I was a fan of Esoterica Pembroke back in the day which was a English blend with Cognac added. From what I can find out it had Virginia/Turkish/Oriental/Latakia tobacco's in the blend along with I'm assuming a topping of Cognac. My question to you Gentlemen who blend is have you ever added...

As suggested by another esteemed member here: What are your plans for 2021 concerning either pipes or tobacco for the upcoming year? Mine include the trying of some of the Peterson Dunhill blends such as Elizabethan mixture, 965 and Nightcap. I am also looking forward to cracking open some of...

As you can see this is probably my favorite shape that I have collected through the years.

I'm finding myself more and more going back to some of my original pipes that I purchased when I started this wonderful hobby some thirty plus years ago since being quarantined due to this Covid-19 pandemic. Has anyone else found themselves going back to some of their older pipes. I'm guessing...

I was wondering if anyone has tried the Peterson remakes of the Dunhill blends. I am partial to the old Elizabethan Dunhill blend. I have tried Pipes and Cigars match blend which IMHO isn't bad. But I am curious if the Peterson blends are the same as the Dunhill blends?

Has anyone ever owned a Mossberg 935 or 930 semi-automatic shotgun. I was wondering if they have had any issue? All's I've ever seen complaint wise is them not cycling 2 3/4 shells, which in my experience always depends on the gun and the round. I have had 2 3/4 rounds in my Browning that...

I finally did it. After four years of trying to get a fall Turkey here in Arizona I did it. My hunting buddy and I have been trying the same hunting unit four years now. Spent I don't know how much money on fancy shotgun, laser sight, camo clothes, hunting boots, ghillie suit, calls, blind...

The last time the U.S. and Iran had a shooting war against each other over the Strait of Hormuz was in April 1988. The carrier task force involved was the USS Enterprise. The operation was called Praying Mantis. It started over a Iranian mine hitting the USS Roberts a missile frigate. Before...
