    House of Windsor Revelation

    This is one of my favorite blends and I'm down to about a tin and a half of it. Once it's gone, it's gone because they haven't produced it for about 5 years. If anyone out there has some that they would like to unload, PM me.

    New Years Eve Smoke

    As we say goodbye to 2012, it's Dunhill Aperitif in a Don Fuhr custom egg to usher in the new year. This is my last tin of this superb leaf and why it's no longer available in the U.S. mystifies me.

    Broken Pipe

    Bob Gravett, original owner and founder of Just For Him, has passed away following a long battle with Parkinson's disease. He was a good man and will be missed by many.

    Apollo 18

    Don't bother spending a buck to rent it. It was horrible.

    Cobs

    I tried one that I had stashed away. Now I know why it was stashed away. It was awful.

    Xikar Resource

    If you're looking for a good butane lighter at a great price and a 100% guarantee, you cannot go wrong with the Xikar Resource. I've had one for several months now and no regrets.

    Sweet Finds

    Going through my tobacco stash, not only did I find a tin of Dunhill Aperitif that I forgot I had, I also found about a dozen bottles of the no longer produced Bee Pipe Sweetener. I like to use it on my pipes occasionally.

    Winter's Bone

    A great film now on DVD. Filmed in the Missouri Ozarks just south of Springfield, it accurately depicts the Ozarks meth culture like no other film. Definitely a must see.

    Mac Baren Honey & Chocolate 1 pound bags

    Mike at Mars just got in a shipment of Mac Baren products. One of those products is the 16 ounce bags of Honey & Chocolate. For those who like it, it's only $25.50 a bag. I love the stuff so I immediately pulled the trigger on it. As far as I'm concerned, it's the only chocolate tobacco worth...

    Mac Baren Honey & Chocolate

    This is the best chocolate flavored tobacco that I've tried and I've tried a lot of them. The tobacco is on the dry side coming out of the tin. A dark blend that burns clean and has provides the distinct flavor of dark chocolate as well as the tobacco. It has a decent nic kick and provides for...

    IMP Meerschaum

    I've had a number of different brands of meerschaum pipes over the years but only recently obtained a couple of IMP meerschaums. I found these pipes to be of the highest quality from the stone used to the excellent engineering. Another benefit to smoking an IMP is the price. None of the IMP...

    Stanwell (Danish Production)

    It's sad that the Stanwell factory is no more. I have a handful of these fine machine made pipes and to me there simply is no better value for the money. I probably won't buy any of the newer Italian made "Stanwell" pipes because frankly, they're not really a Stanwell other than in name.

    Lane RLP-6

    Not being a noob to the pipe, I have smoked my fair share of flakes, English blends, etc. Now I am starting to fall into the "old codger" habit of just primarily smoking one tobacco. I have found my preferred all day smoke to be Lane's RLP-6. It seems to suit my needs. Any other smokers of this...

    A Brother in Need

    Fellow pipe smoke Stan Glugover, 79, has been confined to a nursing home. He has been a brother of the briar for 65 years now. Although he has his pipes, he is without tobacco, lighters or pipe cleaners. He has no means of obtaining these things as he is of limited means. I'm sure he would...

    Comoy Pipes on the Cheap

    Ok, so they're not Dunhill. But JR Cigar is selling a variety of Comoy pipes for just $29.95. Worth taking a look. I plan on buying a couple of them.

    Stolen Pipes Alert

    I was just looking at Marty Pulvers' site (Pulversbriars.com) and he had a request to be on the look out for any sudden offerings of Bo Nordh pipes from unusual sources. My guess is that eBay will be used, but outside the US, to fence these. The theft was the result of a burglary in California...

    Opening Up a Meerschaum

    What a difference opening up the airway makes. I have a large Salim reverse claw meerschaum that colored beautifully but always smoked just "ok" due to the tight draw. So, I finally got around to sending it off to Floyd Norwood to have the draft hole opened up in the shank and a new hand cut...

    New Stevenson Handmade

    Of course, it smokes like a champ.
