Well Gang, it has been a while since I gave you the latest news down here. I have had trouble for some reason getting logged on here, and finally got logged on by "going around the world". Anyway, our office has been busy trying to help those who have been devastated by the flood. There were...

I travel ALOT! When I am stateside, I travel about 1200 to 1500 miles per week. . .and 99% of that is via car. I have had Auto Club memberships from several sources. . . .Extended warranties, Cell Phone auto clubs, Sears Auto Club, etc. . . NONE OF THEM COMPARE TO AAA! I purchased my AAA...

Almost anything Frog Morton puts out. . I like! In fact, I haven't disliked ANYTHING! They know what they are doing! GREAT STUFF! HAPPY SMOKES! ! ! STEVE

Trust me, we are far from dead. I for one have just been busy. But not too busy to enjoy my pipe(s). Don't worry. . . we're still here! HAPPY SMOKES! ! ! STEVE

Your right! The corn cob pipe is a good pipe for knocking around the yard, keeping in the tool box or tackle box, or leaving in the glove box. It really is a good pipe for knocking around, and if you lose it, you don't feel like you have lost something that was a major investment. It would...

Today has been an eventful day. The supplier we were originally dealing with, who was extending us a line of credit, and felt that he could get all the things on our list, told us at about Noon that he couldn't provide anything. Needless to say, we left his office discouraged and concerned...

Well, I thought I would bring everyone up to date. . . . Today is the 12th day of the flooding, and over 75% of those affected still have water in their homes. Some houses still have over two feet of water in them. . . and have had for 12 days. Today, we took delivery of 6.5 tons of rice, and...

AbolutelyHudson Valley! That is the reason we are raising the funds. Today, we sent out about 200 loaves of bread to seven different communities. In fact, we bought every loaf of bread the baker had. We also had a strategy meeting today with 8 different people to organize a local relief...

The Last 24 hours have been quite eventful. Last night, I met with the Minister of Health to discuss the needs the country has in the health sector. Disease is already starting to rear it's head here, and the water hasn't even receded yet. Health issues in the next few weeks are going to...

Well guys, I have been in Guyana a little over a week, and things are really bad. We have had MAJOR flooding for the past five or six days (over 26 inches of rain) and as I write this, it is raining again. Over 3 quarters of the population is flooded out. Take a look at this web site to see...

Aye Laddie! :D

VERY NICE PLAY SPRINGBANK! ! ! Rod, you are very lucky. Those are two nice pipes, and a very nice tobacco too. You will love it I am sure. Concerning the Car and Smoking Jacket CC. . .too cool! I do have a smoking Jacket that looks almost just like that one. . . but not the car :( Oh...

Well. . .that is er, ummm. . . .Nice I guess. . . . :whistling: :D

You know, I really had to think about all this before I wrote it and put it all together. Because it all comes as second nature to me. In fact, I really had to pack a pipe and then go through the process to make sure I was remembering it right. I say all that to say this. . . this may seem...

So what pipe did you get Rod? Inquiring Minds want to know. :D :D :D

Pipe filters are used extensively in Europe, but not particularly in the USA. The idea is that it blocks some of the tars, etc. and makes cleanup easier. For my money, it make the pipe harder to draw. I have used them only a couple of times early in my pipe experience, but haven't used them...

How To Pack & Light A Pipe Pipe smoking requires a little practice and technique to work well. For this reason, many people quit on the hobby before they have mastered the techniques to make it an enjoyable hobby. The number one complaint of new pipe smokers seems to be that they do not know...

I'm not sure what the storage time is. But this is one thing I do know, I have pipe tobacco that has been in some of my jars / containers / tupperware for years. . . and I still smoke it. As long as there is not a mold or fungus problem (Which I have never had) the tobacco should smoke just...

Okay. . .maybe my terms are wrong. Tobacco Jar has also been what I have heard it called. Ususally a glass jar, but sometimes clay, ceramic, stone, metal, or even marble. Usually has a gasket of some sort and will often have a clay disk that you can moisten to keep the tobacco from drying...
