A blog about pipes and pipe smoking.
About Me
- AlanDP
- "An unpopular opinion concerning politics or religion lies concealed in the breast of every man; in many cases not only one sample, but several. The more intelligent the man, the larger the freightage of this kind of opinions he carries, and keeps to himself."
--Mark Twain
About this blog
This blog is about my hobby of collecting and smoking pipes. I do not collect the very finest and most expensive pipes. I do not have a large income and I collect the pipes that I can afford. Such is one of the beauties of pipe smoking: there's room for everyone, if you can find your niche.
I have three other blogs: Blogonomicon, wherein I focus on my other interests of books and music and blog on various other topics that interest, amuse, and outrage me; The Last Ancient House, which is a collection of fiction and poetry inspired by H.P. Lovecraft; and The Hunter Chronicles: The Diary of a Vampire Hunter, another fiction project which is still largely a work in progress.

RetroFutureConvention: Luvvvit...!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be interesting for Americans to lose their Dresscode inhibitions (no public nakedness).
Switching subjects...are you still using the "FuzzyStick" cleaners?
I use them to do a quick swab of the pipe between smokes, but for my regular "real" cleaning I use bristle pipe cleaners that I get from the local pipe store.
