    Out of the Humidor: Weekly Cigar Corner: Current Discussion: General Smoking 01/26/07

    Yep. As said above, I am a moderator over at a pipe forum and have been lighting up the briar for many years. I have a couple dozen decent quality pipes (as well as many many cobs). My favorite is probably a Comoy canadian. As for the tobacco ... right now it's Gawith Kendal Plug. But I have...

    TCM = Modern Cartoons?

    With the wife gone for the night, I figured I'd open a new bottle o' bourbon and flip on TCM. What are they gonna play tonight? I'll tell ya. Cartoons ... modern cartoons. It'd be alright with me if they decided to play old Betty Boops or Felix The Cats ... but not this junk. First AMC went...

    Questions about bowlers (hats, that is...)

    She's a beauty! I'm hoping to find one similar in brown. I'm not sure I would wear it to a formal dinner. However, working at the farmer's market or heading to the bar for an ale & cigar ... well that would be just fine with me. Richard

    Charities

    I am looking to replace one of my charities and am hoping to find one focussing on history and such. Those who favor an earlier era might donate to Colonial Williamsburg Foundation or Daughters Of The American Revolution, etc... But what about people of our mindset? Are there charities that...

    Vintage Phones

    Good! Between my wife and three boys, the darn phone line is tied up far too much! Richard

    Vintage Phones

    Do rotary phones still dial out correctly on these new-fangled digital land lines? I was hoping to find an old farmhouse phone with the two piece receiver (where you actually speak into the box while holding the receiving cone to your ear). Didn't put too much effort into the search, since I...

    Nifty Vintage Gifts???

    My wife got me a late-'40s era rusticated Kaywoodie canadian tobaccy pipe. Smokes like a dream and I haven't poked my eye out yet. ;) Richard

    Superman returns

    Yes and no? :rolleyes: I'd be willing to rent it, when it shows up on DVD (I finally got one this week and only spent three hours trying to hook it up!). But watching that film will be more for my 5 year old son than myself. He's a huge Superman freak. A year or so ago, one of the satellite...

    Necktie Knots

    I don't fuss over it. If there's a dimple, so what? There are more important things in life to stress about ... like if my java is brewed to the right strength. Now that's important. Richard

    If I had to pick one girl from the golden era

    Yeah, it sure is unfortunate that she's mostly known for The Munsters. She was gorgeous in her younger days (and without the vampire get-up). Richard

    Bing, Bob & Dorthey on TCM

    Yep. My wife was out of town for the night. So I popped open a few beers and watched TCM all evening. Next Halloween, I think I'm gonna get a fez and dress up as Bing in Road To Morocco. Now if my lady would be willing to doll herself up like Ms Lamour from that same film ... :) Richard

    If I had to pick one girl from the golden era

    Sitting here watching King Kong on TCM. I had forgotten what a gorgeous doll Fay Wray was. My goodness gracious! Richard

    James, there are several pipe tobaccos available that are similar to the old vintage blends. As I type this, I am smoking on House Of Windsor's Barking Dog. HoW has come out with the old Philip Morris blends in retro packaging within the last two years. Highly popular and very good too. Check...

    The Fleet's In

    Thanks for the review! Sounds great. Hopefully AMC or TCM will play it (and several other classics) soon. I've noticed that AMC has been playing a whole lot of newer films lately, and that's got me steamed to no end. Trying to kiss Dorothy Lamour, huh? I would have tried it without the...

    Flags of our fathers

    I've heard good things about it. Guarantee he puts a down n dirty, no holds barred view on the foul bloodiness of war. Richard

    Dismuke.

    Didn't find it. I did, however, find the old box of xmas decorations that I thought I had lost last year. At least my wife'll be happy. Richard

    Double Indemnity (spoilers)

    Great resource. I didn't even know such a place existed. Richard

    Dismuke.

    No luck. I can't even find a record of that song anywhere. Musn't have been real popular. I have one last resource of old sheetmusic, but its in a box somewhere in the garage. Sigh. I was gonna have to dig it out sooner or later anyway. :rolleyes: Richard
