    Altadis Pipe Sampler - Got Hookah Instead

    Funny - Ordered the free Altadis pipe tobacco sampler and got hookah tobacco instead. Three 50g packs of fruity madness. :( If anybody wants them, PM me your addy and I'll get them out to you next week. Somebody might as well enjoy it.

    What's in your pipe today?

    This morning I enjoyed a bowl of Frogmorton On The Town in a Savenelli Roma and this evening was some Carter Hall in a Dr. Grabow while walking the dogs. If I stay awake long enough I might cap things off with some Squadron Leader in a Savenelli pipe from 1993. We'll see. :D

    What's in your pipe today?

    Decided to keep things simple this evening - smoked some Prince Albert in a Dr. Grabow straight billiard (I think it's a Grand Duke). Very refreshing change of pace. :thumbs:

    What's your latest Pipe and tobacco purchase?

    Went to the Austin City Limits festival over the weekend and my hotel was walking distance to Heroes & Legacies. Picked up tins of Nightcap and St. James Woods as well as an ebony Peterson Bulldog. Very nice score. :thumbs:

    Xikar

    Update ... Exchanged the leaking lighter for a new one and it works like a charm. The first one was just a dud it seems.

    Just Sayin' Hey

    Just picked up a couple of estate pipes from Frenchy this week, a Parker Royal (bulldog) and a Peterson Aran #999. I haven't smoked 'em yet, but great looking and feeling pipes. Of course, Frenchy threw in some freebies as well. Great service and great pipes. :thumbs:

    Xikar

    Well, I hate to say it, but after smoking a few bowls and refilling the new Xikar Pipeline with butane, that sucker leaks like crazy. I've tried completely bleeding and then refilling, but it still leaks out of the stem. I'm a little irritated, but I will exchange it at the B&M tomorrow if I...

    Xikar

    Just picked up one of the Xikar pipe lighters today ... I haven't lit a pipe with it yet, but it looks like it will work just fine. Plus, with the lifetime warranty, you can't lose. I own a bunch of their cigar lighters and I have not had a problem yet. :thumbs:

    Looking for a couple of books.

    Cormac McCarthy is indeed a master American novelist! Also, anything by James Lee Burke (especially the Dave Robicheaux novels) for a more casual read.

    Don't have the heart to tell him..

    Every time I go to Playa del Carmen or Cancun I see those glass top Fauxhibas for sale right on the beach. What's really amazing is the number of people that I see buying them. I've tried warning folks, but they just can't resist. Now, I just sit back and enjoy the nice smokes that I bought...

    The worst day ever

    My thoughts are with you and your family. I had to put down Cain, one of my Rottweilers, just about two years ago due to cancer. He was only 8. It's the hardest thing to do, but know that your friend is in peace and pain-free. I will smoke one for Dakota. Hang in there, Jeff

    Any dog training experts here?

    Mac, I think you did a great thing rescuing Cash. Especially with your shelter's kill policy. Sounds like you are heading down the right path. One thing you may want to try is getting him involved in some kind of activity that will burn off the extra energy. Pit bulls are athletes by nature so...

    Any dog training experts here?

    I hope you are kidding. Hitting a dog is not training. Now, on to the point. I have more than ten years experience working with Rottweilers, Pitbulls and Mastiffs. I can tell you that the issue is that your dog is an "outside dog". I am not being critical, but dogs are pack animals. They want...

    Flor De Olivia Maduro?

    No, only the natural with the Sumatra wrapper has the sweetened tip. The maduro is OK, slightly bitter but may even out with time in the humi. I'm not a big fan of the Flor de Oliva bundles, but YMMV.
