    RIP Doc Watson

    It's been some time since I've posted and perhaps there aren't many who are still here from when I used to post more frequently. I wish this post could be a more positive one. The legendary Doc Watson has passed away at 89. Because he was such a legend, I chose to post this in The Round Table...

    Not To Make Anyone Feel Like an Old Fart...

    ...but, I have a short paper I'm doing for a class on marketing targeting baby-boomers, and the common use of deception (or subterfuge if ya wanna be deceptive in labeling it) and I thought it might be interesting to get some experiences from some of the fine young members on our forum who fall...

    Dog Advice?

    So I got a new dog literally hours ago from a friend who's family couldn't keep her anymore. I already have a dog (purebred lab), who's a slightly jealous type. The new dog (I was told)is a pug-terrier mix (looks like a terrier). Both are quite friendly. My lab is 4 and the terrier is under a...

    Today was a very bad day

    If I don't post too much for a while, I wanted to let the brothers know that some very tragic things have happened in my life today. My mother was diagnosed with leukemia about a month ago, and treatment did not work. She got a kidney infection, and lung infection, which led to her passing away...

    While We're on a Music Kick: Townes Anyone?

    I'm amazed at how similar the music tastes of the Brothers (and Sisters!) are! So, I thought id ask, any fans of Townes Van Zandt on BoB? Townes is one of my favorite (and most tragic, unfortunately) singers, and truly one of the greatest songwriters to walk this earth. Please post favorite...

    Billy Budd...

    Currently one of my favorite smokes (thanks to pipefriendchs on youtube for getting me curious about it... and Mario Grandi pipes lol). For me it's just a thoroughly enjoyable tobacco. It burns well (maybe a little fast), and packs a good amt of flavor and nicotine. What do you guys think of...

    Droid

    Hey guys, I just got a Droid on Friday and was curious to know if anyone else has one, what your thoughts are, etc. Personally, I really like it. Great resolution, speed, apps, multi-tasking capabilities etc. My only wish is that it had a longer battery life. Some might find the fact it's a...

    Mario Grandi

    Hey guys, I just got two pipes from Mario Grandi today, and wanted to give them a little praise. This is my first time dealing with them, and I was simply amazed with their service. Not only was it fast, the quality of service was top notch. I'm just finishing my first bowl in one of the two I...

    Gawith And Hoggarth, Any Favorites?

    So, my Secret Santa package (which included some Bosun Cut Plug) has gotten me quite interested in Gawith, Hoggarth and Co., and their very tasty, very unique Lakeland flavour. The choices are all extremely tempting (so far I've only tried BCP and Dark Flake Unscented, although I'd like to try...

    965

    Just thought I'd ask if anybody's tried McClelland's replacement for 965. I haven't heard much of anything about it and was wondering if it compares very well. Are there any others you would recommend as a replacement (hopefully it'll eventually come back, but who knows)?

    Hello

    Just thought I'd say hello, and introduce myself quickly. I just turned 18 a while back, and have been enjoying the pipe (and cigars, but I particularly like the pipe) ever since then. I hope to learn and have many wonderful conversations with the good folks on this great forum.
