Thread: Pipe of the Day

I just came across this photo. The only comment I can think of is, "wow", and not wow in a good way.


“George Braunsdorf, left, 6 feet 4 inches and Joe Damone, 5 feet 1 inch, demonstrate a pipe called the “Double Ender” in New York, June 2, 1949. According to its manufacturer, the pipe was designed as a means of conserving tobacco by a couple of pipe smokers down on their luck, or, sharing a smoke at a ball game.”

Reminds me of Lady and the Tramp...lol

This afternoon it was "Captain's Choice" in the Spitfire. Nice sweet bold tobacco. The pipe itself had some precharred coating in it that I sanded out and it seems to smoke better. Also the vent hole in the bottom of the bowl was obstructed with wood splinters. I chased the hole with a drill bit and the draw is a lot better now.

Back years ago, as a kid i read a book 'Last places' by Lawrence Millman. It was like seeing the light Ever since i've been interested in places with not much tourists around.

It's the unbeaten path that shows the true nature of a place.Same with restaurants it seems.I always find the best eateries where the "CROWD" doesn't hang ......Hmm in fact,I'm gonna go get some Tacos right now.

Up and Running. My computer crashed.Lost years of stuff.Bought a new one so here we go.Windows 8 is a little different.
Smoking a hackert and some SL.

Knowing that you are a fancing Russian/eastern European recipes, you should visit Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia or Poland sometimes. I've always wondered how people eat goulash so much there. It seems to be the main course on almost every restaurant or roadside bar.

Of course, a sure sign of a decent roadside bar/restaurant is when there's a lot of trucks parked outside.

And I luuuuuuv Goulash ! And Kielbasa and rye bread and pickles and potatos,and any kind of root vegetables and smoked fish,mushrooms,wild game...........geeze!! I love food and love to love food and I'm goin right now and getting those damn Tacos before I explode......see ya'll in about an hour !
