Things are finally starting to slow down after switching full time jobs. For a while I was happy to get in two bowls a week. Thankfully I had some time yesterday to get to the range to test out a...

After a little over a month of not having a real day off I'm spending the day in my favorite rocking chair, watching MASH and smoking until my heart's content. 230562

As someone with a full beard, that'll take a good deal of time and those cheeks have definitely seen a razor.

At my age...yes. Quite a few older folks assume your smoking pot, while the younger crowd for a large part looks down because its tobacco.


That being said I do occasionally get a good...

Now just think about being in your 20's. I have to watch smoking in public, heck I've been pulled over by the police twice.

Thank you. The P01 is my soon to be daily CCW, the P938 is my suit and tie gun. The pipe I picked up while on a road trip because I'd forgotten one, it's turned out to be a great smoker.

Unwinding after a hectic couple of weeks with Dunhill standard mix in a no name Italian basket pipe while cleaning and stripping a few guns. 221195

As promised here was the majority of the line up last Sunday. Though the Barrett .50 and .338 suppressed are not pictured.

Finally got to sit down a smoke a bowl of London mixture and squadron leader tonight, I'm on day 11 of 14 straight working. Though I spent Sunday as an RO at Full auto machine gun shoot, and got to...

Recovering from last night with a bowl of London mixture in a basket briar, it was Mizzou's homecoming and its massive here, and getting ready for the next two weeks. I'm work the next 13 days...

Of everything I've got a half rack I've tucked away for tonight's dinner and that all that made it through the night I'm afraid. The eight of us left my old apartment (which we fondly refereed to as...

Spent a good portion of Sunday smoking ribs for a bunch of old friends getting together. After a supper of Smoked ribs, brats, burgers, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, potato salad, Caesar salad,...

965 has renewed my interests in English blends.

The majority of my cellaring is me packing up to move and not finding tins for two or three months, so I usually figure I've waited this long might as well let them age a couple years.

213609Spend a good portion of the night with a couple buddies at a local taphouse and a few bowls of Dunhill London Mix in what is quickly becoming my favorite basket. So this morning I'm recovering...

You make some absolutely beautiful pipes, keep up the great work.

During the week I tend to stay in the 1-2 range, but during the weekend that can go as high as 5-6 depending on the blend and what I'm doing. I tend to tinker in my shop on the weekends or just...

I havn't. I started on Carter hall, Prince Albert, Granger, Half and half, Sir Walter Raleigh and moved to Billy Budd, Old Joe Kratz, 3p, and irish flake.

As a burley lover I've been meaning to order some since a few months back one of the writers for the smokingpipes.com newsletter mentioned it. Unfortunately it's hard to find someone stateside that...

OJK is an Cornell and Diehl Blend, but I'd Imagine that any stout burly heavy blend would work. I leave the plugs in small ~3mm square cubes to be rubbed out just before packing. That Celtic...

One of my favorites is 30% 3P Plug, 20% Jackknife Plug 10% Navy or University flake, 20% Irish flake 20% Old Joe Kratz. I'll prep the cube, rub out the flake to a mid size ribbon and mix everything...

Plumcake in a Giant Cob for dessert while watching the bonfire last night.

After a very long day (I had to helped tracked down an abducted infant in Omaha) I'm sitting in my garage at my work bench puffing away on a test run of the blend and watching The Longest Day with...

Well I've got all but the Virginias cellared away and I didn't realize just how accomplished of an enabler that Nightblade is.



You sir play dirty and I fully approve.

I've decided to try my hand at blending again, and figured yall might be able to lend a hand. I'm thinking of a nice Frankenstein blend with a burley base. So far I'm planning on:
