How would we be? There's no question that I've had, of late, a roving eye. True, I'd been spending a lot of her time with the Cut Plug sisters, and shagging Kendall Dark, tickling Haddo's Delight, laid gifts at the feet of Lady Abingdon, had a great time in Union Square, went on a slow-hand...

Down to five pounds of 1792, I wanted to imagine disaster, what if it became unavailable. Better to take the pain of separation anxiety now. Trouble! It started with that Abingdon. I like it too much. At first I was going to just smoke it on special occasions. Then I decided, 'you only live...

While I was in college, I got a job working in the local bookstore. Because cookbooks had the highest rate of pilferage, they were moved by the cash register. I started reading them while waiting for customers to come for checkout and found them similar to chemistry formulas and thus began my...

My father was a science teacher who grew up on the farm. To him, everything good and right with the world was tied to dirt, sun, water, seasons, and sweat. Admittedly, I thought he was crazy. We lived on the edge of a medium sized city. Sure, there was some money saved, and better quality, but...

Admittedly relatively new to pipe smoking, I've found acquisition of pipe tobacco selections to be an ongoing challenge. Often, at major web sites, selections are out of stock. With the selection listed as available on three occasions at one web site, I have made orders only to be told that the...

House votes to crack down on tobacco black market 1 day ago WASHINGTON (AP) — The House on Thursday approved tougher enforcement measures against contraband cigarette sales that make money for criminals, but cost federal, state and local governments billions of dollars. The bill, which passed...
