Finally came in Just got off the "E" bay on line market place A Hardcastle Billiard, quite "auld" possibly mid 40s to early 50s; but for a shape #12 Pot Camden this just about completes my Hardcastle Collection. It's possibly as "auld" as I am; and, its' Pre-Cadogan, how wonderful. It is...

what flavor? Strawberry? Met the chaps from the Sherlock Holmes Pipe Club [Boston] yesterday @ Olde Fire-House Smokeshop. Good bunch. Pipes, Tobacco, Bourbon, the Red Sox, [we're in Red Sox Nation] and scalding hot Coffee A wonderful and relaxing afternoon Piped 'Derry Aire'[Danny Boy] Farewell...

Well here's 'the deal' I collect Hardcastle Pipes They are incredibly good Pipes, though; my reason is for emotional reasons. A Hardcastle 'Pot' is the very first Pipe ever smoked. Okay? Now all of that aside; there are any number of Hardcastles that are really good smoking Pipes. I have a...

Love it! I have to approach things on a somewhat deep level to understand why things [molecular...etc.,] are the way they are which if I stop to think a bit points to a way out. EVO? I grabbed it off the salad shelf; like the mountain "...it was there...": "she who must be obeyed" glared at me...

Well, I tried Oxi-Clean; doesn't work Vulcanite bits get a bit funky O/D green Soooooooo, I tried my own fix. Vulcanite oxidizes; therefore the surface burns [on a molecular scale] and deposits an ash on the surface; that "ash" is the haze that you see. 1-get 0 grade steel wool 2-carefully...

Just won the auction for a 'Pre-Cadogan' Hardcastle Billiard made sometime during the 1940s; pristine it is and waiting just for me, already broken in. Hey this guy is older than I am, possibly. Good condition, with lots of fired up meditation left in it. Will put it next to the Four panel...

Rob in Mo Go on "E" Bay I go on in the Hardcastle [gee why?] window; I am sure you can quite probably go on I any window. When you get there punch up 'Charatan' pipes. It will be in the header line and just scroll down. I have never seen Charatan have less than four windows for viewing; oh...

When I say "funnel cut" I may be misapplying what I see visually.. The boring generally describes a fat "U" geometric shape. Now, I used that frame of description for quite some time before my tobacconist use it as a technical description that is used in the craft. Hmmmmmmmmph live and learn...

Will figure out how to do it and post them straightaway regards Anchor'sAweigh/SemperFi ChiefBull

Just got in a Charatan 'Ben Wade' pot [Standard] My Da' always told me about Charatan when I was sprat; he really loved Charatan but with 14 whelps to raise and feed a 'Charatan' was quite out of the question Have a Charatan 'TinderBox' pot. They both earned the top shelf in the Secretary, along...

I collect Hardcastles. Something I noticed in an "E" bay offering is the phrase "PreCadogan"? I have noticed that phrase with Comoys as well as Dunhills What does that phrase mean? I know, now, that at the time I bought my very first Pipe, a Hardcastle Pot-bowl in 1961, that I was buying what...

For real shipmate come and enjoy it regards ChiefBull

OKC Pipes and Pubs. Hmmmmmmmmm just goes to showya' some folks can be adult and some folks can't. Wish we had some of that here in the dearly beloved Peoples Republic of Massachusetts. Just "one" place, please God? My club away from home is "The Fire-House Smoke-Shop". Jack the owner bought it...

finishing Beer here. Mentioned Narragansett Imperial Black Steam Just finished a war club [220z.] of it This IS NOT Beer for the faint of heart. It is 9%, unfiltered, unpasteurized [the only way to go] ale. it has a subtle initial swallow of an 'Imperial Stout'; then you start chewing the beer...

Cimarron? "...five horseshoes..."? if that don't beat all Put that on file BenWade? Just bought one, a very nice sand blasted Billiard. Balances very nicely, don't have to lock the teeth. A bowl big, deep, and wide, similar to a Hardcastle Executive I have in the Secretary. Now they are my two...

Global warming? does that phrase presuppose a premise that there is a correct temperature for the earth? Hmmmmmmm? If approximately 70% of the earth's population lives on or near the equator and given that the growing season there is 24/7-365, could one assume that, that region is the correct...

Ain't life great or whattttt? My Da' was born in Ooolagah [sp] Oklahoma His Da' was hunting partners with Will Rogers, fished the Neosho River, and 'brewed his own beer' in Coffeyville. The other GrandDa' was a 'Stout' German farm boy in Ooolagah and a deputized part of the posse [actually an...

Go to the 'Spoetzle Brewery' in Shiner Texas; owned by a Tex/Mex. guy named Morales. Might be Latino but he's Deutsche in the gut. The man can brew beer; the brewery was opened in 1913 by [yeah! you guessed the German guys named 'Shiner'] One of their offerings is "Shinerbock",good as it gets...

Well it is funny, hahahaha and as in curious! If you are a beer drinker, this is probably one of the best times to be live and 'drinking'. Got onto my fascination with Beer when I got my first R/R leave from down south [VietNam] and opted for HongKong. Had my first brush up and taste of...
