    David P. Ehrlich of Boston

    Never been there, but from what I've heard, much of Ehrlich's pipe-related stock was transferred over to Leavitt and Pierce in Harvard Square. Interestingly, I recently picked up an unsmoked Ehrlich pipe from LJ Peretti when I was digging through some of their old house brand pipes. How it got...

    Setting up a whisky- and cigar-tasting night

    Our lodge building allows neither smoking nor having a bar, so the event will be held off-premises, most likely at a local cigar shop's lounge.

    Setting up a whisky- and cigar-tasting night

    I'm trying to organize a cigars 'n' scotch night for my Lodge, but I've never done such a thing before. Has anyone here done one, or something similar? I don't know if it would be better to do something structured like an organized tasting, or something simple and to the point like sharing a...

    Singer 160th Anniversary Sewing Machine

    Sadly, Bernina has jumped into the "cheap plastic crap" market as well. Their high-end machines are still quality (and should be, for the $1000-$5000 price tag), but their entry-level offerings are essentially just cheap Brother machines in a plastic Bernina case.

    Restoring my Grandmother's Singer Sewing Machine

    Not only is that a beautiful piece of machinery, but it's made all the more so by the family history surrounding it. The wonderful thing about some of these old machines is that, if properly cared for, they will last nearly forever. Don't let it just sit on a shelf, though: the simplest way to...

    Martini FAQ

    A very detailed FAQ, for sure. Although I definitely consider myself to be a "prescriptivist," I think it might be useful to have an appendix of some recipe variations. For example, Patrick Gavin Duffy's 1934 "Official Mixer's Manual" lists several martini recipes, including the Dry (which uses...

    Singer 160th Anniversary Sewing Machine

    I'll give it an A for design, but I'm a bit wary of Singer's products since they changed hands a few years back. According to a local sewing machine repairman, most of the reputable brand names (Singer, Husqvarna, Pfaff, etc.) are actually made by the same parent company selling the same...

    Anybody going to the Lisbon Falls Moxie Festival this year?

    You Big Softy! - Your Favourite Soft Drinks

    Unfortunately, Moxie got rid of the "Moxie Man" logo and have switched to a more "modern" choice. It's still tops, though!

    Hey LizzieMaine/Got any old Corning Pyrex? 25 years?

    Some of the best designs are sadly no longer made. Thankfully we were able to score an entire collection of "Crazy Daisy" plates and casseroles from the local Salvation Army. "Spice of Life" was another great pattern that can only be found second-hand now.

    Hey LizzieMaine/Got any old Corning Pyrex? 25 years?

    My wife's been collecting Pyrex and Corningware for a few years now, and we've got a few pieces that actually say "FOR RANGE AND MICROWAVE" right on the bottom. I wonder if it's a different formula of glass, or if they've just stopped suggesting it for rangetop use.

    Does Anyone Drink Rye Whiskey?

    According to the distillery's website, it's bottled at 92 proof, but you barely notice it.

    Does Anyone Drink Rye Whiskey?

    For those in NY... The wife and I just returned from vacationing in the Catskills, where we got to sample some of the finest whiskies available stateside at the Tuthilltown distillery, home to Hudson Whiskeys. They make two spectacular ryes, the "Government Warning" and the "Manhattan", in...

    Picnic Ideas & Food

    Just made a batch of Scotch eggs the other night for the missus, and they tasted every bit as good as I'd imagined. Now it's just a matter of waiting for the New England winter to end...

    Whiskey

    (New guy jumps in)... One of my favorite classic bourbons is Old Crow. Not exactly top shelf stuff, I'll admit, but at 13 bucks a handle it makes for a good after-work tipple.
