    Major cookie monster score

    Those would be great with salami and cheese for the Super Bowl.

    Colibri Goes Out of Business

    I got tired of messing with fuel bottles and adjusting the flame. MATCHES are 100% reliable and consistent. I keep a pudding cup full of them to my right and the empty box to my left. Been trying to teach the Border Collie how to use them. Keeps dropping them. Gonna burn the house down. For...

    What Makes A Highgrade Expensive?

    Little white dots on stems seems to drive prices up. Also, price seems to correlate with how many "C's" a pipe has. Straight billiards, being inherently better, cost more. All I know bout it.

    A solid, no nonsense order.

    Does a seventy seven year old pipe smoke the same as a new pipe carved from a piece of briar that has been curing for seventy seven years? Oh No! Not this, again! My Yak PSPR&R'd Stanwell has neither brass nor paint. Should I shit can it?

    The Violinist in the Metro

    People stop and listen to the naked cowboy in New York play his guitar. Yak's point? People just don't know, today. Who was that masked man? I dunno, but, he left this silver bullet. Overture to William Tell? May 2007. Cow Pie said, "You guys gotta listen to THIS...

    Where Do You Get Aged Tins?

    JJPHOTO, What do you consider as "aged?" Give us some examples of what YOU are looking for. I'm sure it'll surface here on the board. The "best" strategy is to buy more than you can smoke. In no time, you'll have a cellar and be in lots of trouble like the rest of us. There is a lot of good...

    Aged Tobacco: "What's It Worth To Ya"?

    I made the #3 decision about five years ago. I systematically started building a cellar. Truth is; I do not have a sophisticated enough palate to justify really vintage stuff. I DO prefer my Va's with about three years of age and English/Balkans at about five years of age. I do tobacco...

    Keep us in your thoughts.

    LL makes an interesting point that I have long felt was valid; like since I graduated from college in 1973. The REAL value, to an employer, of a college degree is PROOF that you can set goals and achieve them. I majored in Computer Science and graduated right at the time that the Aerospace...

    I have the feeling I've been hosed...

    Dogs don't know it's not bacon. Local police dept. gave a drug dog presentation to my Rotary Club once. The officer said, "Before I bring my dog in,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, if anybody's holdin,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,they should leave now." Judge DuTemple,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,a known mj user, actually left.

    Hi from Alberta!

    Do you smoke Mixture 79 in a meerschaum lined full bent apple like my college American History Professor? Very first lecture, he said, "The "settlers" brought to America, Christianity, Art, Culture and syphilis." "Canadian Perspective?" They teach it is Manifest Destiny, up there? Just...
