    What Are You Smoking Pages.

    7' and one and three-quarters ounces of R.L. Winston IM6 graphite, and a Pete Baker Street with Figgy pudding made for a nice afternoon...

    I didn’t catch where you were from….

    Nebraska born and Kansas bred; I love the prairie. "Lived here all your life?" "Not yet!"

    My honest-to-God-I-promise last Peterson

    "A Hunter's Fireside Book" by Gene Hill, which I see on your bookshelf, is the perfect companion to that new pipe you have acquired. Enjoy!" Yes; that book carries an interesting story in its own right (to me at least).

    What Are You Smoking Pages.

    My Pete Squire this week with EGR at the trap range; shot poorly but at least the tobacco was good :cry: And my Lestrade yesterday whilst tossing a few flies at a favorite bass hideout; Figgy Pudding therein...

    My honest-to-God-I-promise last Peterson

    I've said this before, but this time I REALLY mean it! :rolleyes: I've been looking for a Sherlock Holmes series Hopkins for quite a while and this is only the second one I've ever seen for sale, and the first one was already sold when I found it. I paid WAY too much for it, and I broke my...

    Solar Eclipse

    I was working in the yard and completely forgot about it. We had about 88% totality here but by the time I remembered and made my little pinhole camera she was pretty much over,

    What's your favourite Movie Soundtrack?

    Probably "Out of Africa". My wife and I both loved the movie, bought the soundtrack, and played it relentlessly. My kids still remember going to sleep with "Siyawe" playing in the background. These days I tend to pick out individual songs like "Trying to Leave Something Behind" by Sean Rowe...

    A very comfy Thong indeed.

    Yeah, they were thongs back in the day, but flip-flops now I guess. My aunt-in-law (not a young woman) popped into a Walmart on the way to the beach one day and asked the young employee where their thongs were. She gave her kind of an odd look and pointed her towards the lady's underwear...

    My first knife project

    Thanks Mike! No, I haven't done another. I did do a hatchet which I think I posted on here before; the head was in a box of stuff my sister-in-law gave me when my brother-in-law passed and I had it for quite a while before I came up with an idea of what to do. Found this chunk of wood on a...

    Ebay advice???

    Pay attention to the seller's feedback.

    Question from another forum

    This question was asked on a shotgun forum I frequent. I'd always supposed they were "seconds" but certainly don't know. Any input? "I have a Parker and I just got a Hardcastle, both pipes were made after Dunhill took over the 2 companies. The parker is kind of plain, but a good smoker. The...

    Hmm...I use softies on all my Peterson p-lips; seem to work fine for me.

    What Are You Smoking Pages.

    Heading out to the trap range with some EGR in a Pete Rathbone. Gonna be a chilly one out there!

    My latest Peterson

    Nothing remarkable; very little aroma if any in fact. I believe the pipe was smoked very little if at all. Not a single tooth scar on the mouthpiece nor mark in the wood anywhere. If it was a "rejuvenate" job it's the best one I've ever seen.

    My latest Peterson

    Hmm; I don't find it small; I prefer larger pipes and this one is right up there with the others in the SH series which is one reason I like them. And if it had a fishtail it would still be for sale. I've only ever bought two Petes with fishtails - one new and one estate. The new one went...

    My latest Peterson

    I really wasn't in the market for a new pipe but came across this Sherlock Holmes "Original" and couldn't resist. It's as nicely grained as any Peterson I've seen in a while; beautiful birdseye! I saw the pics and I was a gonner. It's an estate pipe I ordered from Serbia which made me nervous...

    Gross topic, but I have to ask….

    I guess your mouth thinks you're eating something :ROFLMAO: ! Happens to me sometimes too. Could get a spittoon I suppose. I do most all my pipesmoking outside so like you say, I just spit now and then.

    What led us to pipes?

    From a fairly early age I knew I would smoke a pipe and drink Scotch whisky; both just seemed to be the epitome of class and cool. Started both while in college, back when the profs could smoke in the classroom and you had to sneak the whisky into the dorm. I've had the occasional lapse in...

    What Are You Smoking Pages.

    Back in the day Jobey was a fairly well-respected brand, at least in the circles I ran in. At one time I had several in the collection but have sold them off; still have two: a natural finish Safari, and a sandblast Safari given to me by a friend when he gave up the pipe. Good smokers both -...
